Butterflies explode inside my belly. Even after all these months, they still make me feel like a teenager with her first love. Even after I made them parents, the fire still burns pretty high just as if I’m in heat.
“Howdy, Miss Sol,” Derrick jumps off Champion with a smile on his face.
My girl goes crazy because she’s a daddies’ girl through and through. Her arms reach for him as her legs kick, as if she’s determined to jump into his arms. He doesn’t leave her waiting, of course. He takes her in his arms, laughing when she slobbers all over his face.
“Hey, sweetheart.” Jesse sits beside me with a soft kiss.
“How was everyone’s day?” I ask.
They have been running around in this ranch since the sun broke the night, and damn, I miss my men.
“Missing you,” Major says, sitting on my other side.
His hand goes to my neck, a small pressure that makes me tingle all over. I smile and drop my head on his shoulder.
“We are missing you, too,” I tell them.
“Give me my daughter.” Major takes Mirasol from his brother.
It never gets old when they call her that. I trust them with my life. I knew they were always going to do the right thing, but still, asking someone to become a parent is a lot.
They never hesitated. It was like they always were her dads. We just needed our baby home to start life. She put all of us together, holding our futures in her tiny hands.
“My turn,” Jesse practically growls and plucks the baby from Major.
It’s always like that. They love her, and she loves them just as much.
For a girl who needed a stranger to hold her hand in a moment of need, things changed a lot for Sol and me. There’s so much love atWilde Ranch, and for the first time, our future looks bright just like the sun.
“Let’s go in. We need dinner.” Jesse stands up, baby against his chest.
“What are you making me, cowboy?” I ask, fluttering my lashes.
Derrick chuckles. “Cake is not dinner, darlin’.”
I laugh. Well, they know me too damn well. We move to our house,and they start making dinner. Sol plays on her playmat, while I ask what is for dessert.
Life is so freakinggood.
