Waking up next to Margot is a pleasure I never knew I was missing. Her head is resting on my chest, with her fingers twitching gently as she dreams. I lay a kiss on her golden hair, sighing.

Before coming to Farcliff, I was content in my quiet, isolated existence. I thought I was happy.

I had no idea what was missing from my life. I never imagined that I could want to spend time with someone else as much as I want to with Margot.

She stirs in my arms, sighing softly. Smiling at me, Margot stretches out and rolls onto her pillows.

“I had such a good sleep.”

“Same.”

“Haven’t slept that well in years.”

“Must be the orgasms,” I grin.

Margot laughs. “Must be. Wouldn’t mind another one,” she grins.

“That can be arranged.”

“You’ve created a monster,” she laughs, wrapping her arms around me. “Look what you’ve unleashed.”

I growl, and Margot lets out another giggle.

I never knew I could love hearing someone laugh as much as I love hearing it from Margot.

“Hold on,” she says when I move to kiss her. “Morning breath.”

I watch her pad to the ensuite bathroom to brush her teeth. When I hear the shower turn on, I get out of bed and join her.

We fit so well together. Both of us appreciate comfortable silence. We don’t have to talk. I hate going out to drink and party, and Margot doesn’t do any of those things. We’ve slipped into each other’s lives so effortlessly, it’s easy to forget the things that loom just ahead.

Her baby, for one. Am I really ready to have a child in my life? Is it crazy that I’m really considering it?

Seeing Ivy and Luca be so joyous about their own twins makes me itch to have that for myself.

Besides the baby, though, there’s Beckett to worry about. We still have no news on his whereabouts, and he could pop up at any time and try to hurt Luca.

Then, there’s Hunter. Margot’s agent has a bone to pick with her, and judging by the interview he gave last night, it sounds like he’s out for blood.

I’m willingly inserting myself into all those problems.

For what, though? Why would I do that?

As soon as I push the bathroom door open and see Margot smiling at me from the shower, I have my answer. I’m doing it for her.

Joining her under the stream of water, I wrap my arms around her, pulling her into me so her back rests against my chest. Running my hands over her stomach, my heart thumps at the thought of the life that’s growing inside.

As Margot puts her hands on top of mine, it feels like everything in my life clicks into place.

I want her. I want the baby. I want to take all the publicity and the cameras and the invasions of privacy if it means I get to hold Margot in my arms at the end of the day.

It hardly makes sense to me—she represents everything that I’ve avoided since I was a kid.

But the heart wants what the heart wants, and I want Margot LeBlanc.
