she shifts from her back to her side, facing us. Slowly her eyelids creep open revealing their captivating golden color.
“We’re just getting to know one another.” I beam a smile at her. “I’m so fucking happy. I’m the luckiest man in the world to have you and now, D.J.” I lean forward in the chair I’m seated in beside her bed. “Thank you for making me the happiest I’ve ever been. I’m so goddamn blessed.” My voice cracks as overwhelming emotion fills every part of me. Cradling D.J. in one arm, I reach over and caress my fingers down her pale cheek. Tired from the long labor, she still looks flawless to me.
Instantly Kenna’s eyes well with tears. “We did this together, Derek. We created this little angel and there’s no one else on this world I’d rather be taking this journey with than you.”
Catching her hand in mine, I raise it to my lips and press a kiss in the center of her palm. “God, I love you, Leoncita.”

THREE YEARS LATER
“Daddy, I want to hold Thomas. Can I pleeease?” D.J. questions leaning over my arm while I cradle his newborn brother against my chest. My eyes leave the tiny bundle in my arms and move to my oldest son, taking in his black hair and dark eyes so similar to mine. He’s the spitting image of me at his age. I hope he’s inherited some of my street smarts, because he’s already inherited my fiery temper when something or someone stands in his way. I have a feeling he’ll be needing them, although, I hope I’m wrong.
“Son, you know the rules, right?”
He nods, sitting down next to me on the leather couch. If he wants to hold Thomas he has to be with Kenna or myself.
Shifting the bundle of sweet-smelling baby in my hold, I place him carefully in the cradle of D.J.’s arms and remind him how to support his neck.
“Prop some pillows under his arm,” Kenna mentions as she sits across from us in the recliner.
“I was just about to do that Leoncita, but you didn’t give me a chance.”
Smiling sheepishly, she shrugs. “It’s my motherly instincts, can’t help them.”
I quirk my brow at her. “Well, I have fatherly ones too.”
“Excuse me,” she quips widening her eyes. “Besides, Thomas has your big head and it gets heavy quick,” she giggles.
“You love my big head.” I wiggle my brows at her lecherously. My eyes drink her in as she sits there her cheeks glowing a healthy pink shade, before gliding down to take in the full tits my hands are aching to caress. It’s hard to believe she gave birth to Thomas only a week ago.
She tips her chin toward D.J. “Eyes over there, buddy,” she mentions reminding me I’m neglecting my duties.
I smile. “I can’t seem to help myself. You get more beautiful each day, Leoncita.”
“And you get sweeter. What happened to my big, bad, alpha husband? Are you turning into a softie now?”
“He’s still in here. I promise to give you a demonstration in five weeks,” I reply, mentioning the date we can resume lovemaking. My dick and I will be counting down the seemingly endless days between now and then.
Turning my attention back to my two sons… two sons. God, I can’t believe I’m a father to these boys. I’m not sure what I did to deserve them. I swear too much, I’m impatient at times, and I have no tolerance for assholes. But there’s no father on this planet who could love them more than I do.

Fifteen years later
My hands shove against his chest rocketing him back two steps. “You better watch what you say asshole before I watch it for you.”
Paul holds up his hands in front of him. “Dude, calm down.”
“Don’t tell me to calm down. You disrespected Andi. Apologize to her, now.” I grit out the final word with my teeth clenched. If he can’t tell he’s one second away from getting his ass kicked, he’s as dumb as I know he is.
“Derek, it’s okay.” Andi’s soothing voice comes from behind me. I won’t turn around to see where she is. I’m not taking my eyes from this asshole. He’s the type who’d hit me when my back is turned. That’s how much of a punk he is.
Narrowing my eyes at Paul, I send a final message to him. Apologize now or I’m going to fuck you up.
“Andi, I’m sorry I disrespected you. It was wrong of me.”
I guess he
