That huge, excited smile never left Margo’s face the entire day…not while it was her birthday and she was surrounded by more people than she could keep track of.

The backyard was done up with all kinds of decorations, food, and far too many presents, all for her.

Between the family, Beau’s friends, and his pack, the party had plenty of people in attendance to help make Margo feel nothing short of special.

She was a bundle of energy, especially since the guys brought their kids, and others in town were invited for the day. She had more than enough friends to play with, and I couldn’t help but smile at the sight of her running around, enjoying her day.

After she opened her gifts, it was time for cake, and with me and Beau at either side of her, we leaned in and grinned while the candles lit up her awe-filled eyes.

“Make a wish, sweetheart,” Beau hummed, grinning with every ounce of love he had for her in his gaze.

Brimming with excitement, Margo closed her eyes before blowing out the candles, and everyone clapped and cheered for her.

When her lashes opened again, she couldn’t fight the bashful smile, making the two of us laugh to ourselves at her barely contained joy.

“Happy birthday, honey,” I said, taking a small swipe at the cake before I placed the gathered icing against the end of her nose.

“Hey!” She squealed, laughing at the gesture before she tried to reach it with her tongue.

Her giggles caused the rest of us to chuckle while Beau cut the cake and handed Margo a plate. Without needing to be asked, Ethan stepped up and helped plate the squares of cake before offering them to the other kids, followed by the adults.

Freeing him up, Beau moved over to my side while I overlooked Margo happily eating her cake with the other kids. They chattered aimlessly about nothing and everything at once. He handed me a small plate with a smile while he slipped an arm around my waist.

I thanked him and grabbed some of the cake before offering it to him. With a raised brow, Beau accepted the cake, wrapping his lips around the fork while he kept his eyes on me. Once he pulled off, he hummed his amusement at my quiet laugh and swallowed it.

“That was exactly what I hoped you’d do.”

“Lucky for you, it seems our minds are wired the same now,” I mused, taking a bite for myself.

He grinned at the notion, giving my hip a gentle squeeze. “That they are…and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

After a moment of quiet between us, I glanced over at the table where Ethan was still distributing the cake, and my attention was snagged the moment Sydney went over to him.

“Speaking of brains being wired the same…or, I guess, in their case, completely opposite,” I murmured to Beau as I gently nudged him.

Without missing a beat, he looked over at them curiously. “No kidding…”

The moment Ethan spotted her there waiting for some, his lips pulled into a smirk. “Care for something sweet, Red?”

With her cheeks flushed, she just barely managed the courage to narrow her eyes at him while she took the paper plate in her hands. “That’s not very original, you know…”

Ethan gave her an amused once over and chuckled as he purposely let his fingers linger close to hers longer than necessary. “And who said I wanted to be original?”

Blush deepening, Sydney pulled away from him, quick to avert her gaze as she went off to talk to someone else and eat her cake in relative peace.

Ethan’s smugness lingered as he handed cake to the next person waiting.

If I didn’t know any better, I’d assume he found far too much joy and satisfaction in teasing her, and I could only imagine how she felt about that.

“Poor Sydney.”

Beau shook his head at the scene. “He’s never going to learn…”

The birthday party continued without a hitch, and before long, our guests started to leave. Of course, the guys couldn’t go without saying goodbye to Margo first, to which she smiled especially wide when Sebastian gave her a high-five on his way out.

Finally, feeling worn out by the day’s events, Margo was eventually tucked away in bed, sleeping off the rush that came with her special day, while Beau and I couldn’t resist doing the same.

While I undid my earrings and pulled them out, placing them on the dresser, Beau sprawled out on the bed with his arms behind his head. He looked up at the ceiling before glancing over in my direction.

“You know, I never thought I’d find any kid’s birthday party that fun, but it was a good time.”

Smiling, I went over and placed myself beside him, sitting while he lazily hooked an arm around my waist. “Margo definitely had enough fun for everyone. I’m sure she’ll be asking for another party next weekend.”

He chuckled, letting his thumb trace gentle shapes against my hip. “Speaking of birthdays and milestones, I’ve been thinking about something lately…”

Lifting a curious brow at him, I hummed. “Oh? What about?”

His warm expression lingered as he met my gaze with the slightest hint of seriousness within it. “Seeing as I missed out on the early years with Margo, I was hoping we might try for another…and share those experiences together this time.”

The sincerity in his voice, along with his endearing request, made me soften. “You want to have another child?”

With careful consideration and no ounce of hesitation, he nodded. “I do. I’ve wanted it for a while now.”

Even if it wasn’t unexpected for him to bring up, it still felt like a slight surprise and made my heart stir. Smiling, I leaned closer and pressed a kiss against his cheek.

“I’d love to. More than anything.”

Grinning at me, Beau hummed his satisfaction, then every so slightly tightened his grip on my hips before moving me as quick as anything, shifting us until I was underneath him.

My breath caught at the sudden change until I blinked up at him and giggled, gently sliding my hands up his biceps while he caged me against the bed. “Someone’s eager…”

He chuckled as a mischievous gleam veiled his gaze while he dipped down closer until his breath mingled with mine. “If we’re on the same page…then why wait?”

A thrill moved through me at that, and I held his gaze. At that moment, an unspoken, mutual need seemed to pass through us at the same time, and almost like time started up again, we were on each other within seconds.

Our lips collided, and we forgot all sense of tenderness or care. Instead, hunger moved through us both, leaving a blazing path in its wake.

Hands moved, gripping and squeezing, pulling at fabric until we were both completely bare.

It all happened so quickly, but I wasn’t complaining. The sooner I could feel him against me completely, the better.

Beau groaned into the kiss the moment our bodies were flush together, skin gliding against skin as we moved frantically like we were running out of time. His aching length slid against my core with ease, giving away how badly I had already wanted him. We both moaned at the feeling, and without needing to say a thing, we both knew there was no need for foreplay.

“Jesus Christ…” he muttered against my lips, slowly rocking his hips against me while his fingers clenched the sheets beneath me. He let go of shuddered breaths as he continued, eyes squeezing shut while he tried to hold himself back. “You’re soaked for me, and we’ve hardly even started…”

Cheeks warm while my hands explored the perfectly chiseled expanse of his back. I nodded and whimpered from the agonizingly perfect friction between our bodies. “I need you…”

At that, he growled lowly as he kissed me roughly and slipped a hand between us to nudge my thighs apart more. Grabbing himself, he slowly brushed the head through my aching core, making us both moan. “I want you like this all the time…drenched for me…burning up like you’ll never get enough of this.”

His words made me whimper, but my breath caught in my throat the moment he inserted himself and slowly pressed inside.

Beau groaned, dropping his face down to kiss my neck while he pushed all the way in, body taut with barely restrained desire. His breaths fanned against my skin while he held himself back from just giving in already. “You always feel so good for me…”

Letting go of a moan, my eyes rolled back as he withdrew his hips and sank in a bit harder with a grunt, keeping one hand on my hip while the other fisted the sheets.

Unable to show any more of that restraint, Beau let go of a shudder and then started to move with a sickeningly perfect speed and depth.

My legs wrapped around him instinctively as I arched for him, head buried in the mattress while I took every movement he had to give me—every surge of undeniable pleasure. The adjustment pulled him in even closer, making us both moan even louder.

He cursed into the crook of my neck and picked up the pace while his body continued to hold undeniable tension. Using me as a lifeline while he continued his brutal thrusts, he gripped my thigh hooked around his hip, letting his fingers dig into me.

Beau, getting lost in the heat of the moment, seemed to reach all new heights while he rocked his body into mine, eyes closed with every second of unbelievable pleasure that was exchanged between us.

Something about his eagerness and pure enthusiasm made me feel even more worked up as I dug my nails into his back and found myself moving my hips with him.

“I can’t wait to see you full and pregnant…carrying our child,” Beau mumbled against my skin in between impatient nips and lashes of his tongue. He groaned, flicking his hips against mine with less-coordinated movements. “I need the others to see you like that…undeniably mine. No exceptions.”

His words sent more of that addictive fog through my head, causing me to clench and spasm against him. I moaned louder for him, desperate for the release we both sought out together.

Beau growled and bit at my flesh affectionately while he held my body even closer and deepened his thrusts. “I’ll fill you as many times as I need to before you’re with child…”

Heaving with implications, that promise pushed me over the edge alongside the raw conviction in his movements.

Immediately, I cried out, my voice going hoarse with every whimper and sharp inhale. My fingers clenched his back as my walls fluttered around him, and I gave in to that near-blinding bliss.

At the sensation, Beau groaned and buried his face in my neck while he rutted into me again and again, guiding me through my orgasm before he grunted and his hips slammed against mine as he came undone, releasing hard.

The flood of warmth inside of me as he drained himself completely made my skin grow even hotter while I drifted through the mindless haze, and even if it didn’t take the first time, I had no doubt it wouldn’t be long regardless.

Once he was spent and boneless, Beau relaxed above me, shifting to keep his weight to the side.

We were quiet for a while, trying to calm our pounding hearts as he left soft, tender kisses against my skin.

“I love you…and I always will,” he murmured breathlessly, letting me feel the full extent of his care for me.

Smiling softly, I turned slightly to whisper against his forehead before leaving a kiss there, “I love you too—more than words can express.”

Humming his appeasement, Beau draped an arm over me and pulled me closer to his side. His lips left more kisses against my temple while he held me in his warmth.

An amused air filled his voice. “And I meant what I said before…as many times as it takes…”

With no room for doubt, I knew he fully intended to keep that promise.

And I didn’t mind.
