Chapter Ten

Slade

When Trinity came out of the shower, I held up the two outfits. “Which do you think is better? Guitars or dinosaurs?”

She smiled as she examined them. “Why not both?”

“I don’t want to confuse him. And chances are, he’s going to like one more than the other anyway.”

She watched me with fondness in her eyes. “Slade, I don’t think he’s going to care. His mother is going to put it on him and he’s going to drool all over it.”

“Hey, he’ll be wearing it in pictures, and I want him to know I got it for him. When he’s old enough to understand he’ll appreciate it.”

“I still think you should give him both.”

“Yeah, I guess…”

She came to me then massaged my shoulders. “I think it’s really cute that you’re so dedicated to your godson.”

“Well, if something happens to Skye and Cayson he’s ours. We’re pretty much second parents to him anyway. We need to act like it.”

“And we’re off to a good start.” She cupped my cheeks and gave me a warm kiss.

Anytime her lips were on me, all other thoughts seized. Her lips were soft like a rose pedal, but her kiss was hot like a pepper. It burned me every time.

She ended the embrace then approached the refrigerator. “What’s for dinner?”

I was still a little winded by that kiss. “Veggie burgers.”

“Ooh…sounds good.” She pulled a bottle of water from the refrigerator and took a drink.

I eyed her up and down, my thoughts no longer on dinner.

Trinity knew what I was thinking but she played hard to get. She took another drink of her water before she grabbed the large book on the table. “The Big Book of Names?”

“I thought we would pick out a few for the baby.”

“But we don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl.”

“It’s a boy,” I said. “But we can pick out one of each just in case.”

She opened the book and found a bookmark. “You’ve already browsed?”

“Yeah.”

She closed the book and turned to me, her blonde hair swaying gently with the motion. She had bright blue eyes that reminded me of the artic, majestic and endless. Her tiny waist made all of her clothes look a little baggy. She was simply too small to fit into anything. I liked her petite size because she was small—everywhere. “What did you come up with?”

“Hammer.”

Trinity’s face immediately contorted into a look of surprise. “Hammer? Like the tool?”

“I think it sounds cool.”

She quickly moved on. “What else?”

“Wolf.”

“I guess it’s kinda cool.”

“For a girl.”

She paused and stared at me incredulously. “Um…” She didn’t finish the sentence because she didn’t know what to say.

“I like Silver too. That could be for a boy or a girl.”

Trinity wasn’t into any of the names I picked out. “I think we should keep brainstorming…”

“There’s one in particular I really like, but I doubt you’re going to want it.”

It was a testament to Trinity’s love for me when she said, “What is it?”

“I’m not sure if I should say…”

“Why not?”

“You’ll probably tease me.
