At the office, I have a similar conversation with Bransen. Now that he’s over the initial shock of my revelation to him that I married Shiloh, he’s better prepared to give me advice.

“I’m with the doc,” Bransen says. “Why not take the time to get to know Shiloh? You already hit it, and it doesn’t look like you have any plans on quitting it.”

I grin a little. Nah, I wasn’t about to quit it. Not when I was jonesing for the girl like a crack fiend.

“I think the best course of action is to stay the course and continue on as we have been. She knows the rules. Knows my expectations. I don’t want her getting the wrong idea about us.”

“I’m not sure it’s her who’s getting wrong ideas and whatnot.”

“You’re right. I need to check myself.”

Bransen shakes his head.

“What is it, Bransen?”

“Give her a shot, man? When you first told me about her, you already knew she was different from the other two. Maybe it’s a sign. Maybe you two need each other. She’s beautiful. Dang. You better be glad you saw her first.”

“Alright, get out of my office.”

Bransen chuckles, but he knows I ain’t playing. “Okay, man, but don’t come complaining when some other cat who knows how to treat her steals her away from you. It won’t be easy to watch another man raise your child.”

And then he exits, leaving me with his so-called wisdom. The truth is, I don’t want another man raising my child. Yeah, I knew that was a possibility out the gate – a possibility if I was no longer on this earth, but now I can’t fathom it. And her – don’t know if I can handle another man touching her.

She’s…

She’s…

I close my eyes and breathe in and out. I smell her perfume. Hear her whimpers. See her smile. See depths in her eyes. Feel the most intimate part of her.

She’s…

She’s mine.

“Magnus, I have a call for you from a Ramsey St. Claire,” Hilda announces via my phone’s intercom. “Should I put it through?”

“Yes,” I tell her.

She connects the call and I say, “Hi, is this Ramsey?”

“Yes. Ramsey St. Claire. I got a message from my secretary to return your call. How can I help you?”

“Let me properly introduce myself first. My name is Magnus St. Claire. I live in Charlotte and I grew up in the foster care system. I was wondering who your people were—wanted to find out if I had any relatives in this city. I know this is out of the blue, but my wife put me up to this so I want to follow through.”

“I’ve heard your name a few times. We run in similar circles, but as for relation, that would be a question for my father.”

“What’s your father’s name?”

“Mason St. Claire. My mother’s name is Bernadette. Any of those names sound familiar?”

“Unfortunately, no. I grew up in foster care. My parents are deceased and so is my foster mother.”

“What are your parent’s names?”

“My mother’s name is Abigail Miller.
