Caught Up (Windy City, #3)

by Liz Tomforde

“He’ll be on his hands and knees most of the time.”

“As all men should be.”

She likes my son. My son likes her, and that makes me like her just a bit more.

She’s not wrong. It’s stunning out here. Both the view and the girl I shouldn’t be looking at.

Sort of feels like a privilege to watch Miller Montgomery dripping wet in a bathing suit.

She smiles and I like it far too much.

“If you’re going to start coming to my games, I better see Rhodes on your back and I’m not talking about my brother.”

“Is this some athlete kink you got? Need to see a girl in your jersey?”

The old flirty side of me that I’ve kept hidden and locked down for the most part since Max came into my life is itching to break free. I pop my shoulders. “I like to see pretty gi...

Miller’s lips part, a shocked and satisfied grin lifting on the corners. “Well, with that kind of promise, I’l...

“You flirting with me, Montgomery?”

“Have been since we met. You gonna start flirting back?”

“Well, we all have our limits now, don’t we?”

“And I’m yours?”

His eyes trail my face, once again landing on my lips. “I t...

“Kai, I am not your problem.”

“Be my problem.”

“Then do something to make me you...

He’s beautiful. Really, truly so handsome.

How the hell am I supposed to forget what her laugh sounds like? What her lips taste like?

“Can we forget about some of my rules? For the rest of the week while I’m here? I just want to know what it’d feel like.”

“You want to know how what feels like?”

“To be y...

“Mills, you already are mine. Even if I haven’t been allowed to show you, you’ve always been mine.”

“You are the most jealous woman I’ve ever met. You know that?”

“You’ve met other women?”

“Do you love her?” Monty asks.

“I do. Very much so.”

“She might break you...

“I’ll love her ...

“I know you ...

“I love you. God, I love you so much, Miller, it feels like it might kill me.”

It’s intimate. It’s connection. It’s love and it’s terrifyingly painful because it’s all going to end.

“Miller,” he says, making sure my attention is on him. “If you ever decide to stop running and make a home…” His eyes are begging, pleading. “Make it with me.”

“I want to open my own patisserie and teach classes there a couple of times a week. I want to watch as many of your games as I can. I want to wake up with you every morning. I want to live close to my dad. I want to read stories to Max every night before bed. I want to try my hardest to be who he needs me to be. I want to be the one to bake him cupcakes for his first birthday at school and for all his birthdays after that. I want to have more babies with you because you are such an amazing dad. But most of all, I want to be happy and you

two make me happy, Kai. And I hope I make you happy too.”

“And I love you.”

“I love you.”

She smiles into my lips. “I love you.”

“Mmm,” I hum. “You should probably s...

“I love you, Malakai, and I lov...

“Miller.” Wrapping my arms around her waist, I keep her close. “We were missing you before we even met.”

“Why aren’t you dancing?”

“Because I only want to dance with you.”

“This is what I want. This life together. The three of us. You keep me grounded, Kai, and I’ll keep you wild.”

I nod before sealing it with a kiss. “Deal.”

With our friends surrounding us, I finally got my family.

This is my favorite view—the two of them.

“Miller Montgomery—”

“Yes! The answer is yes.”
