She tilted her head and looked at him, her blue eyes sparkling with mischief.
Give me ten minutes and I’ll show you again.
“Dominic?”
“Yeah, honey?” He lowered his mouth to hers, stealing a kiss. With her cheeks flushed, hell, he couldn’t get enough of her. He never would.
“I might have lied to you.”
Bullshit. They never held anything back. Not anymore. “Might have?” he murmured, raising an eyebrow.
“My temperature’s not perfect,” she admitted. “I needed to see you. I wanted everything to be perfect, but I couldn’t wait until after your shift.”
“Were you scared?” he asked, concern trumping his desire. “If you are, I can come to you. Anytime.”
“No, not scared.” Her mischievous grin widened. “But I couldn’t wait until tonight to tell you.”
“Tell me what?” His grip tightened, unwilling to let her go. His pulse quickened and his excitement rose even if another part of him was still too relaxed to participate yet.
“I took a test this morning. A pregnancy test. And this time . . . Dominic, it was positive.” Her voice held a world of wonder. “I wanted to be sure, so I used the entire box. All positive.”
“You’re pregnant.” Saying the words out loud brought a fever pitch of happiness he’d never imagined. “We’re having a baby?”
She nodded.
A baby. Their baby. Her dream come true. And now his.
“I love you, Lily. And I’m going to love our baby too.” He felt the joy rush in on the heels of pure awe. And he realized that he’d never believed he would get here. He’d never believed he would be good enough for not only Lily, but the promise of a child.
“Everything all right in there?” Noah’s voice cut through the perfection.
“Great,” Dominic called back as he ran his hand down Lily’s hair. “I’m great.”
And that was a fucking understatement. He felt like his heart might explode with love. The rangers, his team, and the success he’d thought he needed to claim his sweet, sexy Lily—it felt like another lifetime. This was his future. Lily. A baby. A family.
“Yeah, well, I saw Lily’s car out front,” Noah said. “So I know you’re not taking apart the bathroom on your own. Take your time. I’m going to head out for a while.”
Dominic waited until he heard the door slam shut. Then he placed his hand over her stomach. “I’m going to be there for our child. I’ll love this baby, Lil. With all my heart.”
“I know you will.” She rose up and brushed her lips over his. “And I know you’re staying this time. I know it in my heart.”
“Damn right I’m staying. For the baby. And for you, Lil. Always for you.” Then he dropped to his knees, ignoring the broken bits of wall on the floor. “Spread your legs, honey. And let me show you how much I love you, now and forever.”
