I wake up to the sound of Evan’s whispers as he talks on the phone. My head is resting on his chest, and he has one arm holding me tight. “Did she sleep good?” I hear him ask. I smile, knowing he’s asking about Lexi. He’s such a good dad. “Is she okay?” I raise my head up and look at him when I hear the concern in his voice. “Okay, well, we’ll be heading out soon.” He listens on the other end. “Thanks, Mom,” he says and hangs up.

“What is it? What’s wrong?” I ask immediately.

“Good morning.” He kisses the top of my head. “Nothing is wrong. Lexi’s just been fussy this morning. Mom thinks she just misses us.”

“Of course, she misses you. She’s never spent the night away from you,” I tell him, climbing out of bed.

He reaches for me. “What are you doing?”

Stopping, I look over my shoulder. “We need to go. She needs you.” I continue getting dressed.

I hear his feet hit the floor, and then he’s there, right behind me. “I wanted to make love to you again.”

“I want you too, trust me. However, Lexi comes first. Let’s go get your girl. Today is our last day here. You need to spend time with your family.”

He spins me around to face him, his hands holding my face, tilting up so he has my full attention. “You’re amazing,” he says before his lips find mine.

Although I want nothing more than to kiss him, and more, Lexi misses him. I push against his chest. “Get dressed.”

“Yes, ma’am.” He swats me on the ass.

It doesn’t take us long to pack up our bags. Our family thought of everything, as there was a garment bag for my dress to bring it home in. I know my family can read me like a book. They know this is more for me than just making sure Lexi stays with Evan. It’s also embarrassing as hell to know my parents, my brother, and my…in-laws set this up. They’ll have a pretty damn good idea about what went on in this room last night.

“I called downstairs. They are calling us a cab.”

“Great. I think I’ve got everything.”

“Not everything,” he says, snaking his arm around my waist.

“What did I forget?” I ask, my eyes roaming around the room.

“This,” he breathes as his lips meet mine.

“We have to go,” I laugh when he sighs in frustration, resting his forehead against mine.

“Thank you, for everything. For helping me prepare for Lex, helping with her, giving up who knows how much time of your life to make sure I can keep her with me.” He tightens his grip on my waist. “For last night. I won’t ever forget it. Every single fucking second is burned into my memory.”

I love you. “We better go,” falls from my lips. I have to remember to keep my feelings from him. When we walk away from this, neither of us needs to have feelings of guilt. I’m going to enjoy this
