Sierra laughed when she realized where his eyes were looking but she didn’t mind that he was looking down her night shirt. “At least you still want me after these two,” she smiled.
His eyes heated with her words. “If you’ll help me put these two back in their cribs, I’ll show you exactly how much I want you,” he came back.
Sierra’s smile was slow and wide, her body already heating with anticipation. “My sister is coming for a visit tomorrow. I don’t want to be too tired.”
He shook his head and stood up. “Your sister is six month’s pregnant with your niece. Take a nap with her later.”
Sierra didn’t need to be told twice. She took Mitchell out of Drake’s arms, cuddling him and kissing him gently as she laid him back in his crib while Drake carried Lyndsey to the other crib only two feet away. When they were once more alone, Sierra turned to find Drake just looking down at his children. “Thank you,” he said and Sierra felt it deeply. It wasn’t just for their children or marrying him. It was for everything they’d shared since the moment they’d seen each other across the pool from her father’s house so many years ago.
“Thank you,” she came back and squeezed him, letting him know how much she loved him.
