Page 53 of The Hero I Can't Resist
I’m quick to shake my head. “Nope, we’re going to celebrate together, and then we’re kicking our family to the curb, and me and you are going to celebrate, big guy.”
Logan groans and covers his ears. “Oh my God, please, I don’t need or want that image in my head.”
I wiggle my eyebrows at Logan. “What? You’re just going to have to get used to it, bub, because we’regoing to make you an uncle again as soon as we can.”
I freeze, realizing what I just said out loud, and look up at Zach. “I mean, ya know, we should probably talk about it.”
Zach looks at me with pure passion. His whole body is tense as if just the thought of having a baby makes him crazy. “Everyone out. Grab a cookie, grab a cupcake, but get out.”
I gasp. “Zach!”
He picks me up and tosses me over his shoulder and starts walking out of the kitchen. “Thank you all for coming, but we’re going to celebrate!”
Miller hollers after us, “That’s my baby sister!”
I lift a hand and wave at them. “Bye, everyone. Thanks for coming tonight. We love you! Lock up on your way out.”
We get upstairs, and Zach tosses me onto the bed. I sit up. “Zach, what are you thinking? They’re going to know… I mean, they’re going to think…”
He kicks off his shoes and pulls off his shirt, tossing it across the room. He shrugs. “This is on you,sweets. You started talking about having a baby, and I went a little crazy.”
He hovers over me, and I put my arms around his neck. “So… so you want to have a baby?”
He nods. “Yes. Yes, I do.”
I pull him down to me. “Okay.”
His eyes widen. “Okay? You mean?—?”
I push him onto his back and hover over him. “I mean, okay. I’ll stop taking the pill.”
He shivers, his hands gripping my hips and holding me to him. “I love you, Sky, and I want to get married tomorrow.”
I gasp. “Tomorrow?”
He blows a breath. “Okay… soon. I want you to have your dream wedding, but we’re doing it quick. I want my ring on your finger.”
I raise up, lifting my shirt up my body and then dropping it onto the floor, and then take off my bra. “Two weeks.”
His eyebrows skyrocket, and he leans up, wrapping his arms around my waist. “Two weeks? Are you sure? I want you to have the weddingyou want.”
I laugh. “The wedding I want is with you. Two weeks, Zach.”
He kisses me then, rolling me to my back, and when he pulls away, he searches my eyes. “I promise you, Sky, you won’t ever regret this.”
I put my hand on the side of his face. “I know I won’t. I love you, Zach, and I want forever with you.”
He kisses me like he wants forever too. And for the first time, forever feels real.
