“I’m sure baby Gabriel will live up to his name and be a complete little angel for you,” the technician said.“Congratulations, Mommy and Daddy.Dr.Myron will see you at your next scheduled appointment.And as always, call if you have any questions.”

“Thank you,” I said as I sat up.

After the technician left, Ryker helped me get dressed.I was so round that I felt like a flipped over turtle every time I lay down.It was impossible to get up on my own.Not that Ryker complained about all the extra weight.He seemed to be fascinated with my baby bump, and was always rubbing his hands over my belly, or pressing a kiss there.God, but I loved him.

“I don’t know if it was fate or what that put us together that night,” I told him.“But I’m so glad you grabbed my ass.”

Ryker laughed.“Well, it was a pretty irresistible ass.Still is,” he said, giving my ass a smack.

“Careful.You know my hormones are all over the place.You grab my ass right now, I might bend over and beg for more.”

He growled and moved in closer.“Don’t even fucking tempt me, Laken.Truck.Now.”

“And then what?”I asked.

“Then I’m taking you home, and I’m going to make you come until you pass out.”

I waddled a little faster to the truck parked at the curb, and Ryker followed behind me.I looked over my shoulder and saw his gaze was glued to my ass, and he had that sexy, arrogant smirk in place.The one I fell for that first night we were together.Whenever he wore that look, I could see a hint of the devil he’d been named after.A randy rooster.But he wasmyDiablo now.

Oh, he was still Hades Abyss, and likely always would be.

But he was my husband, my everything.

And now that I had him, I was never letting go.
