“When we aren’t so busy that I can take the time to drop what’s left of this weight.”

“There’s nothing for you to drop. You’re even more beautiful than when we first met.”

Sure, her belly wasn’t as taunt as before, and there were stretch marks where there was once smooth skin, but Max didn’t care about those things. Sloane was gorgeous. The fact that she had given him a healthy, happy, beautiful baby girl only made him want her more.

“Max.” She scowled, rolling her eyes at him.

“I’m serious. Everything around here will be relatively settled in a few weeks. Don’t keep me waiting.”

“I can’t plan a wedding in a few weeks, Max.” She laughed at his eagerness.

“Okay, okay. Soon, though?”

“Soon, Max, soon.”

Sloane moved herself between his legs. He opened them into a V shape to allow her to sit. She pressed her back to his chest, and Max wrapped his arms around her. They watched Mia play with her new friend.

“So what time will the guys be over in the morning? Do you want me to make breakfast?”

For now, Max was conducting business out of his small home office until the building he leased was ready to move in. He was waiting for the landlord to give him the green light. As of last month all the proper licensing had come in. His dream of being his own boss was finally a reality. Once he knew it was going to happen, he called Tank, Mother, and Gutter Mouth. They all agreed to take on a role in the company. Max couldn’t be happier. He had it all: an amazing, soon-to-be wife, a sweet baby girl, and a bright future, heading up his own company.

“No way, you’remywoman. If you don’t stop feeding them, they’ll never go out and find their own,” he teased.

“Yes, dear. Can you answer one thing for me?”

“Anything.”

“Why in God’s name would you name that sweet little puppy, ‘Killer’?”

“Why not?” he asked innocently as she erupted with laughter.

“I love you, Maxwell Fear. I don’t know what I’m going to do with you, but I sure as hell love you.”

“I love you, baby. I can think of a few things you can do with me.” He waggled his eyebrows at her. His cell phone chimed from his pocket. “Hold that thought.”

He swiped his finger across the screen to answer. Sloane watched him expectantly as he said, “thank you” and disconnected. He smiled down at her before kissing her soft lips.

“Fear Incorporated is officially open for business.”

The End.
