His Heart's Desire (Book 2 in His Heart's Series)

Chapter 17

***SURPRISE!!! A triple update for you amazing readers!!!***

Luke

I walked into the house and found Gail walking out of the hallway.

"Hey. Where are they?" I asked.

"The boys are napping. Olivia said she'll be upstairs."

"Alright. Thanks," I said and headed up the stairs.

I stopped by the boys' room first and found them sleeping soundly.

Then I went to our bedroom.

I opened the door slowly, not wanting to disturb Livie in case she was sleeping.

The bed was untouched.

I frowned.

Then I noticed the door that leads to the balcony was open.

I smiled.

Livie loved it out there...

I walked towards the balcony and found Livie standing there.

"Hey," I said.

She jumped. "Lucas! You scared me!"

"Sorry. Everything okay?" I asked.

She nodded. "You?"

I smiled. "Everything's okay. Ethan was shocked at first, but he warmed up after awhile. He's excited to meet the twins," I said.

"That's good to hear," she said.

I walked over to her. When I was in front of her, I reached my hand up and touched her cheek.

She looked so sad and vulnerable, it was like a knife to the chest.

She looked so fragile and...scared.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

She shook her head. "Nothing."

"Do you regret what happened this morning?" I asked.

She shook her head.

I caressed her cheek with the back of my hand.

I can't believe she's finally here. No matter how many times I told myself that I was better off without her, and that getting rid of her was the best thing for me... I could no longer lie to myself.

My life is better with Livie in it. I want her back. No matter what she did in the past, I still want to be with her.

I made some mistakes too. I worked too hard and was gone most of the time. She probably felt lonely... Alone, and neglected.

But that's all in the past. I'm always going to be here for her and our boys.

I bent forward and kissed her. I kissed her across her jaw, down to her neck.

I felt myself harden immediately.

I pulled her close to me so she can feel my arousal against her.

"God, Livie... What you do to me..."

I nudged her legs open, thanking my lucky stars, that she was wearing a floral dress.

I hoisted her up and seated her on the banister.

I pulled off her underwear, and slid all the way inside her.

We both groaned at the contact.

"Condom..." She stammered out. "You forgot again," she said.

I groaned. "Fuck. Do you want me to stop?" I asked.
