“Mm-hmm. And I hereby volunteer to pick out the perfect outfit for you.” Raine’s grin was pure wickedness. “We both know I’ll find something to drive them completely insane. Remember that little pink see-through number with all those bows I found for you? The one they practically tore off with their teeth?”
“Oh, I remember.” Heavenly shivered, as that erotic night crowded her brain. “But...I’m pregnant. Can I still go to the club?”
“Honey, you can do almost everything right up until labor. Trust me—Hammer and Liam have tested my limits.”
“Really?” Heavenly smiled. “I’m not sure what to expect.”
“They’ll show you. And they’ll be damn happy about it, too,” Raine assured her with a wink.
“I hope my stomach settles down before they take me. I’d hate to puke all over Hammer’s floor.” Heavenly cringed.
Raine leaned in close. “Trust me. Worse things than puke have ended up on Hammer’s floor. Don’t take a blacklight to it, just saying.”
Heavenly tried not to cringe. “Eww.”
“You have no idea. But I need to get back to the table before Hammer or Liam come and carry me off for being on my feet too long,” Raine drawled, rolling her eyes as she plucked up a couple of plates of cake.
“I’ll come over and sit with you soon,” Heavenly called to her as she strolled away to rejoin her own men.
As a slow, romantic tune filled the air, Beck and Seth hurried her way and escorted her to the middle of the patio. Several couples were already cuddled close together, swept away in the music and their love as Beck and Seth pressed her between them. They swayed together, moving in a rhythm only they understood. Beck’s hand settled at her waist while Seth’s fingers gently cupped her nape as they moved as one—just like they did everything else.
“Are you happy, little girl?” Beck murmured in her ear.
“Beyond happy,” Heavenly whispered, her heart swelling with more love than she could imagine. “I never knew I could feel this much joy.”
“Good.” Seth pressed a kiss to her temple. “Because we have one more surprise for you.”
Heavenly pulled back slightly, eyeing them suspiciously. “What kind of surprise?”
Beck reached into his pocket and pulled out a colorful flyer. Heavenly’s eyes grew wide when she read the name on the glossy paper. “Hawaii? You’re taking me to Hawaii?”
“For our honeymoon.” Seth grinned. “Two weeks in paradise. Just the three of us. White sand beaches, crystal-clear water, absolutely nothing to do but relax and devour you.”
Heavenly’s throat tightened with emotion. “But...what about Hudson?”
“Mom and Carl are going to stay here with him.”
“But we just moved in. There’s still so much to do—the nursery to set up, Hudson to settle in, and with the baby coming—”
“All those things can wait,” Beck interrupted gently, stroking her cheek. “We promised Abel we’d make sure you saw the world.”
“That we’d let you spread your wings and fly, angel,” Seth added, pressing a soft kiss to her lips.
“I love you both for wanting to keep that promise,” Heavenly said, cupping their faces. “I love that you cared enough about him—and about me—to remember what he’d asked. But I don’t need to see the world.”
Seth’s brow furrowed. “Angel—”
“The only reason Dad wanted me to travel was so I could figure out what made me happy. But I already know what that is. It’s not exotic islands, or castles, or even cabins in the woods. And it’s not checking off items from some bucket list.”
She clasped their hands and squeezed them.
“Beck, Seth, our baby, Hudson…” Her voice quivered with emotion and conviction. “You’re my world. My adventure. My everything. I don’t need to travel to the ends of the earth because all I ever need is right here.”
Then Seth made a sound that was half laugh, half groan as he pulled her against his chest and banded his arms around her as if he’d never let go. “Fuck, angel. You’re too good to be true.”
“She is,” Beck agreed in a dark, hungry voice as he surrounded both of them with his arms.
They stood, wrapped together as one while the party continued around them.
Heavenly closed her eyes and drank in their warmth, their scent, and their love.
She’d finally found the happily ever after she’d never dared to believe in.
The family she’d always dreamed of. The home she’d always craved. And the unconditional love—no longer messy or complicated, but absolutely perfect.
“We’re still taking you to Hawaii,” Seth murmured in her ear.
“Only because we love watching you strut around in that sexy little pink bikini,” Beck growled against her neck.
