I groaned as I stretched out. I'd just had thirty minutes as her walking frame and it fucking killed. But I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Lena laughed at something Ella said and shook her head before pointing at a couple of the guys. I groaned, realising who she'd pointed out. Max and Dingo were known for liking to share their women, so I could only imagine what Ella was asking.

I looked across at Liam, who was talking to Cole and Preston, none coming up for air as they spoke rapidly about who knew what. Finally, my eyes landed on Diesel. I grinned. I'd never met the woman who spoke animatedly before him, but had heard her mentioned a time or two. She was bouncing almost as much as Abi, and even looked pretty adorable doing so. She was a cute thing, and had this whole pixie vibe going on. She’d tagged along with Preston and Ella, no doubt at Jo's demand. She had a way of getting people to do what she wanted while making them think it was their idea all along.

I'd heard that Dani was actually a good friend of Preston, and had hit a bit of a rough patch. Looking at her now, the smile lighting her face and lifting her lips, you'd never think of it. I chuckled lightly and then looked to my right when Lena nudged me, Abi in her arms.

"What are you looking so pleased about?"

I nodded over at her brother and then back at her. Her brows lifted in surprise. "I'm not sure if he's ready to bolt or throw himself at her feet."

The grin spreading across Lena's lips made my mouth go dry. She was fucking beautiful. "Holy crap," she mumbled, "it's the latter. Seriously, he's hanging on every word." She placed a kiss on Abi's cheek and blew a raspberry there, making her squirm and giggle. "Just look at them," she continued, but my eyes were just for her. She then looked at me, realising I wasn't staring at her brother as per her instruction. Her brow wrinkled. "What?"

How could I even begin to answer such a simple, complicated question? "Next month I think we should start trying for a baby."

Her breath caught and she proceeded to cough, her face turning bright red. I laughed as I patted her back. "Breathe, baby.”

She gulped for air and passed me Abi. I propped her on my hip and faced Lena head-on. "You can't just say sh-stuff"—she glanced at Abi when she corrected herself—"like that to me and expect me not to choke. Seriously, Mace. A little warning here."

My face was a mask of innocence. "What? I think a month is plenty of time. It gives you enough time to stop taking the pill and grab yourself a dress and a bikini and whatever other sh-stuff you need."

With her brows dipped and her forehead wrinkled, she looked at me like I'd sprouted a second head.

"I thought I was romantic, trying to make a baby on our honeymoon." I shrugged.

Her eyes glistened with tears and she bit her bottom lip, trying to keep herself from crying.

"There will only be you, always. I need you to say you'll be mine forever." My hand clasped her waist and I pulled her close, the three of us in a little circle. "Will you be my always, Lena?"

The most beautiful smile imaginable broke free, brightening my world in its entirety. She nodded, happiness spilling down her cheeks. "As long as you will be mine, a million times yes." Placing her hand on my face, she stood on her tiptoes and pressed her mouth to mine.

Rightness settled in my chest, and laughter bubbled forth when Abi's hand touched my other cheek, startling me. I looked at Lena, seeing Abi's other hand on her face, and then I gazed at Abi. She shrieked in excitement before leaning forward and placing a wet open-mouth kiss on my cheek, leaving drool as her mark.

I tickled her tummy and returned my gaze to Lena. "Always, baby."

The End

About the Author

Spending the last few years near the Queensland coast, Becca is rarely out of the sea or off the beach. Dragging her long board with her and her overworked Kindle Fire, Becca enjoys her three addictions: reading, surfing and ogling surfers, one of whom is her husband of ten years.

She can still be found regularly on the beach with her family. Becca tends to leave the surfing to her boys; she's far too busy immersed in her own writing or, of course, with her head still buried in a new read.
