I glanced back to where Kyle, Jamison, and TJ, were indeed about to set off a firework. Taking on the same role I always had, I eased Reagan into Tate’s arms and growled.

“You three light that firework and I’m putting my foot up your ass!”

Jamison grinned and wagged his eyebrows at me before lighting it. TJ and Kyle had the good sense to get out of my way as I tackled Jamison. Rolling around on the ground with my little brother was something I hadn’t done since I was barely out of my teens. I pinned him and lightly patted his cheek.

“You’re still weaker than me, Jamie.” I leaned down and blew a raspberry on his forehead before climbing back to my feet and dusting my pants off. “Maybe you need to come back to work on a real ranch to bulk your muscles up.”

I grunted as I was tackled from behind by Keaton. He tried his best to get me in a headlock but I barely outmatched him. It turned into an all-out wrestling match with all of the Hellstone brothers and then the boys joined in. I took an elbow to the stomach from Lucky and then Luca finished me off with a knee to the dick.

I rolled away from the dog pile and groaned.

“There goes my chance at more kids.”

Reagan’s angelic face blocked out the sun above me and her happy laugh was music to my ears as I eased her to the ground next to me.

“I saw there was a penis injury and came to kiss it better.”

I rolled us over so I was on top of her and leaned down to kiss her.

“You’re a dirty girl, baby.”

“Keep it PG, perverts!” Waylan groaned and put her hands on her hips as she looked at her adoptive dads. “You’re all so horny.”

Henry, Seth, and Woodrow, all looked about as horrified as I felt at hearing that word come from my niece’s mouth. While they were all stammering, Nellie came to their rescue.

“Waylan! You’re traumatizing your fathers.”

The triplet’s mother, Billie, sighed as she walked past.

“We’ll watch the kids. You two grab your other two horn dogs and get lost for a while. I remember the pregnancy hormones too well.”

Reagan grinned. “Really?”

Nellie laughed. “Such a skank.”

I jumped to my feet and picked Reagan up.

“You better have been calling me a skank, little sis.”

Tate and West appeared at my side and Tate took his chance to steal Reagan from me. He took off at a fast walk towards the barn.

“You snooze, you lose!”

Reagan looked at me over his shoulder and bit her lip.

“Meow.”

“If we’re not back before the party ends, just…take our kids home with you. I have a wife to satisfy.” I took off after them, my heart full and my body light with happiness.

The End.
