“I’m pregnant, and we said we’re clean, so I’m not gonna worry about a condom,” she says, slightly breathless. “But if you have any objections, say so now.”
I’m so hard it feels like I’m going to explode. “Whatever you want.” If she told me to do a cartwheel so we could fuck, I’d do it.
Doing it without a condom, having direct contact with her bare flesh sliding up and down my shaft, almost makes it feel like a completely different act.
“Come for me,”
I wrap my hand around the back of her neck and pull her down for a hot, unrestrained kiss. I cup her swinging breast with my free hand, brushing my thumb across the tight tip. She grinds against me, my cock buried deep inside her. Her body shakes wildly, and her screams of ecstasy are m...

I empty myself inside her and, in this moment, feel completely connected to her. I hold her tight and place tender kisses on her cheeks, forehead, eyes, the tip of her nose and the cor...

But I don’t care if the next forty minutes turn out to be a bust. I’ll get to see him, which is what matters.
He’s also the father of my babies,
Do you need to do more beta testing?”
I put a hand over my mouth. “No. But we can have some non-test fun after work.” I wink, placing a hand on his chest. “I’ll see you soon.”
“If you want something, fight for it. If people treat you badly because of this, you have to fight that to hold on to what you have. Don’t let anything or anyone take away what you want. If you do, you aren’t fighting hard enough.”
Being alone always sucks.
It is amazing how my body still functions on autopilot, even though my heart has been ripped to shreds.
I always assumed people who were blue felt that way because they had a lot of negative thoughts they couldn’t block. But I realize you don’t need negative thoughts—negative circumstances can be enough to shove you deep into despair. Like finding yourself alone after having known the heaven of being with someone you thought understood and loved you.
It’s good that I found out he loves his career and anonymity more than me before I made a bigger emotional investment. But that doesn’t lessen the pain from the fact that I’m always going to be number two with the man I love.
People are extra brave when they’re hiding behind a fake online identity.
“People who aren’t falling apart don’t turn their cell phones off for the entire weekend,”
“What makes you think I haven’t opened up?”
“Because we know you…?”
The weirdly achy throb in my chest I felt when she referred to the triplets as her family but not mine ripples through me again, more intensely this time. She couldn’t make herself clearer. It’s a fuck-you-and-goodbye box.
“Little ones, it’s just you and me. But it’ll be okay. I’m going to make sure that you’ll never, ever feel the lack from not having your daddy around. We’re going to be great together.”
Every romance novel I’ve ever read said that it’s the hero’s duty to bring me pistachio ice cream, canned tuna and steamed asparagus at such times. But life isn’t a romance novel, and I don’t have a hero to pamper me.
My dick’s obviously broken. And it’s Sierra’s fault.
What would letting myself go accomplish? Nothing. I am beautiful, and I can make an impact. If somebody out there thinks I’m too old, that’s their problem, not mine. The hell with them and their approval.”
Am I happy? Alone in this house, which smells like generic store-bought air freshener, with my non-pink sheets and no red Ferrari in the driveway? I think back on my time with Sierra. When she told me about the babies. Sierra wanted somebody to be a good father to her babies—her family… The air freezes in my lungs. Holy shit. How could I have been so stupid? Her babies are her family. And the father of her babies is also her family. When she told me about the triplets, she was dreaming of having a family with me, building a future together. I misunderstood everything, and I fucked it up in my

“Sierra! I’m sorry. I screwed up,” he says loudly so I can hear him across the distance. “Nothing was your fault. I just reacted badly because I cared too much about what other people think. But that was idiotic of me. What I should’ve cared about is what you think.”
Griffin taps his phone. A familiar melody starts. Is he playing Elvis Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling in Love” to make his case?
No, he isn’t. Griffin starts singing over a karaoke version of the song.
All my food cravings go away, and my morose mood vanishes. All I can think is that Griffin is in the lobby, singing me one of the sweetest love songs ever—despite the fact that he hates singing. It was my grandma’s favorite. She and Grandpa danced to it at their wedding. She told me every time she heard the song, she felt loved. His voice caresses my senses like a dream. If I thought my heart was soaring at the concert in Tokyo, it’s about to burst now with love and longing. Griffin keeps singing. I start moving toward him, my arms spread wide. All that matters is that half ...

“With my triplets,”
Then I see him stepping out from a giant arrangement of sunflowers. He’s holding a bouquet of daisies. Tears spring to my eyes, and I blink them away quickly, embarrassed I’m so emotional. I should be smiling, not crying!
“How did you know they’re my favorite?” The men I dated before all brought me roses.

He grows serious, even more serious than usual, then pulls out a small velvet box from his pocket and drops to one knee.
“Sierra Fullilove, will you marry me?”
