Fallon watched as he pulled off his pajama bottoms, his perfectly sculpted ass there for all the world to see before he put on a pair of jeans.

“You still don’t wear underwear?”

He looked over his shoulder at her with a grin. “Not when there is a chance I could get some.”

A naughty little grin came over Fallon’s lips as he turned, buttoning up his pants. “You ain’t gettin’ any tonight, buddy.”

He laughed as he crawled on top of her, pressing his lips to hers. Fallon’s eyes shut slowly as her hands went up his arms to his neck. He pressed his pelvis into hers and she gasped at the hardness of him. She needed to leave, but kissing him seemed way more important at that moment. Audrey could wait…

When they parted, Lucas gave her a smug look as she let out a complaining moan. When he started laughing, she smacked him arm.

“I’m not?” he laughed.

She pushed him off her and scooted out the bed. “No!”

“Sure I’m not. I could of had you right there.”

Fallon shook her head even though they both knew he could have. A slow, bright grin came across her face as Lucas got off the bed before going to his closet.

Wow, what a day, she thought as she watched him tie up his shoes. When he pulled out of her driveway earlier that day, she was convinced that she would never be blessed with his kisses ever again, but there she was — not only enjoying them, but craving them. She couldn’t believe it. It was as if they had done a 180-degree turn in their relationship and she couldn’t have been more blessed than she was in that moment. Fallon just hoped that she could do it and not let her trust issues come into play. She really wanted this; she wanted her chance with him, and she wanted their life together with Aiden. He loved Lucas, and if Fallon could give him his daddy and mommy, then, damn it, she was going to try her damndest to do that. As she continued to watch Lucas get ready, all she could think was that it wasn’t really going to be hard to try with him.

Lucas was on cloud nine.

He followed behind Fallon’s little Acura with the biggest grin imaginable on his face because he got his girl. Lucas had waited for this moment a long time, and he was feeling pretty damn good. There wasn’t a moment when he thought he wouldn’t be with Fallon, but then he had lived the past seven years without her. It was not only hard, but it was as if he didn’t really have a heart. Lucas had met many girls, had slept with those many girls, but no one had ever amounted to what Fallon meant to him.

Fallon was everything a man could want. She was beautiful, sweet when she wasn’t mad, compassionate, loving, and now he knew she was the most amazing mother ever. Even with her flaws — her selfishness and her anger — he still loved her with everything in him. It was as if he only saw the good in her, even when she was screaming at him. That’s was the way it was supposed to be, he was supposed to love her good and her bad.

All of her.

Lucas pulled in behind Fallon, and shut the truck off before getting out. As he hit the key lock, he watched as Fallon took her picnic basket out the back before turning and giving him a wide smile.

“I want my Tupperware back,” she said since she had left all the leftovers at his house. A grin came over his face as he wrapped an arm around her shoulders. It was funny; his need to always touch her. No matter what, his hand had to be on her. It was so hard when they were constantly fighting. He just wanted to shut her up with kisses, to have the feeling of her lips on his and the taste of her lingering on his lips. Anything, he wanted it all. It had been a long couple months, but now that was all going to change.

“You will have to come get it. I don’t deliver,” he flirted. She gave him a pointed look with a smirk pulling at her lips as they made their way up the steps to the door. She went in before him, using her key to unlock the door and then dropping them in the basket beside the door as she made her way fully inside. Lucas also dropped his keys in the basket and when she looked up at him with an amused look, he shrugged, “What?”

“Making yourself at home, ain’t you?”

He flashed a winning grin. “Yup.”

Fallon shook her head as she made her way to the kitchen. Like always, his eyes drifted to where her ass read ‘Pink!’ and he was enjoying the impeccable view when she stopped abruptly. Lucas ran right into her since he was too busy watching her ass instead of where he was going. When he glanced up to where Fallon was looking, he saw Audrey with a bright red face and flour all over her. It took him back to the first day he came to the house to talk about Aiden and Fallon was covered in flour, looking like a sexy little house wife, but he couldn’t think of that right now. Something was wrong.

Lucas could tell that Audrey had been crying. He glanced over to Fallon and saw that she was watching Audrey very intently with a worried look on her face. Audrey dumped a pan full of chocolate cupcakes onto the counter; she then picked up a white bag before putting the top of it into the cupcake and squeezing. It was like watching a train wreck. Audrey was obviously upset and with every squeeze of her hand, Lucas swore she was struggling to keep the tears in. He was so engrossed in what was wrong with Audrey and what she was doing that he didn’t even notice Aiden until he turned with a grin on his face.

“Hey Dad! AA is making cupcakes!”

Audrey looked up and Lucas could see the pain in her eyes. Fallon took in a sharp breath before looking up at Lucas. “Will you take Aiden upstairs?”

Lucas nodded before going to where Aiden sat. He picked up a laughing Aiden and carried him over his shoulder to the stairs. Aiden’s cast knocked into the back of his head but Lucas didn’t care, he was too concerned about Audrey and about what he was about to say to Aiden. He didn’t want to be a hard ass with him, but he kind of had to be. Aiden needed to know that he could never say those words to Fallon ever again. Not to his mom. His mom was supposed to be his world.
