never come. I was happy I had four boys to watch out for the day she does get a little girl.
“We’ll have to try again,” I tease her, then kiss her again.
She tries to push at my chest, but soon she’s pulling me closer and climbing me like a tree. I don’t know why I started something I know we can’t finish. This house is about to be filled with family at any moment. Maybe there’s time to have a taste of her, though. Something to hold me over.
I pull my mouth from hers and drop to my knees in front of her. One day I’ll have to tell her when we built this kitchen I actually had the counters measured and made to the perfect height for eating her pussy.
She’s not shy about our stolen moment and grabs her skirt and pulls it up. I pull her pink silk panties to the side and throw her legs over my shoulders.
“Reed,” she moans, and I wish I had more time to draw this out; I’ll have to wait until I have her in our bed tonight.
She dives her hands into my hair as I eat at her sweetness and groan, licking and sucking at her. I go right for her sweet spot and pull her orgasm right out of her as fast as I can. She screams out my name and I keep going because I want a little more of her. She jerks against me as I take one last lick before I pull my face away from between her thighs.
Her eyes are heavy as I stand up and kiss her. My cock begs for release I know I can’t have right now, and she smiles up at me.
“Fine, we can start trying again,” she says, and I chuckle.
We waited at least a year between each of our sons before we started trying again. We knew we wanted one more but hadn't talked about when, and it looks like now is the time. I was sure she was going to make us wait another few months, but I guess she just needed a little coaxing.
“I’ll make sure it happens tonight,” I tease her, and she laughs. She wraps her arms around my neck and pulls me close.
“It’s adorable he gave her the ring. I hate that we have to take it back.”
“She’ll have it one day,” I remind her.
Cami nods in agreement, still looking a little sad about it.
“How about I take Jase shopping this weekend? We get him a temporary one,” I suggest, and her face lights up.
“That would be perfect. You always know what to do.” The way she looks at me warms my chest and makes me think I could conquer the world for her. She’s right, though. I’d do anything for her, including giving her that baby girl she wants.
I lean in and kiss her again just as I hear laughter coming in the front door. Our family is back together and my heart is full, and it’s another day in our lives where the love is unstoppable.

Prologue
Xavier
5 years earlier…
“Why do you watch me?” Her soft voice fills my ears, warming my chest. It reaches places inside me I didn’t even know existed. The sound makes my wolf lie down lazily inside me, like we could drift off just to the sound of her voice. Does she mean when I watch her now, or when
