He slanted her hand away and sat up. ‘I don’t believe that old wives’ tale, and neither do you.’ She was angling for a reaction—a way to introduce her next point.
She covered herself with the robe and sat up too. ‘What if I only want one child? What if I want my career, just like you do?’
There were bigger issues that might be better handled, say, a month from now, when he’d completely convinced her that they were getting married and living together with their child, no matter what.
‘How many children would you like, Cooper? And don’t you dare suggest triplets.’
Thoughts of Evangeline and her pregnancy popped into his head. Had their difficulty in conceiving been his or hers? Maybe neither. For some, conception occurred easily. Other couples endured long delays sometimes for no apparent reason. He’d learned recently that a fellow lawyer and his wife had tried for five years, given up, adopted a golden retriever and then last month—bingo! Would he and Sophie fall so easily a second time?
Sophie wanted an honest answer. He’d give her one. ‘I’d like two children—a pigeon pair. But I’ll focus on this one. If he is born healthy, I’ll be happy.’
‘But Cooper—’
Enough!
He tackled her with a silencing kiss. They fell back on the bed, and soon her resistance had melted into acceptance.
As the caress eased and their lips parted, Cooper was gripped by the almighty urge to say …
Something.
I love you?
No. Way too soon. And if he didn’t believe it, neither would she.
But, looking down into those big green cat’s eyes, he felt the heat begin to build again and the want become a need.
Was he falling in love for the first time? More importantly, was Sophie falling for him?
He curved his hand around her crown and slanted his mouth over hers again—neither too hard, nor too soft, but hopefully just right.
Because timing and skill were vital. When he had her heart without reservation—when she was in love with him and couldn’t give up what they had together—then he would have what they all needed most.
His family—their family—safe and sound under one roof.
