Booker leaned back in the porch swing, taking a sip of coffee as he watched the sun rise.
A sound from his little one on his chest had him setting his coffee on the table.
He moved his little boy higher on his chest and patted his back lightly until he drifted off again.
After Lexi had fed him at five, his little buddy didn’t want to go back to sleep.
It was almost becoming a habit, and if he was being truthful with himself, he didn’t mind one bit.
This was their time. Quiet before all the animals on the ranch woke up. Sure, their hands were already up and about, but no one came onto the porch.
Having Logan Falls be their home base had worked perfectly.
Fall, when Sturgis was held, had lots of company at their ranch.
Lexi and her mom had organized a huge event that most of Bluff Creek, Saint’s Outlaws, and their extended family attended before heading on to Sturgis.
They had plenty of room for campers, tents, and for people to stay in the cabins.
Lexi even planned the signings they attended around when the Sturgis bike rally was scheduled each year.
He supposed this little one would love attending signings as much as his little princess did.
Lexi still worked as an author assistant, but with the addition of their children, she’d hired someone to help her.
Her mom still helped some with beta reading for authors, but with the birth of the grandkids, Maureen had slowed that down because now her grandkids and her husband were her priority.
Yep, Maureen was married, but that was a tale for another time.
And it had been a wild one, but then it seemed like very few of the love stories about his Bluff Creek family didn’t include some type of drama.
He owed Compass a huge thank you for being such a dick that War sent Booker to check on him.
He’d reconnected with Lexi and his life had been changed.
He snorted and chuckled a little when he thought about how Compass’s and Twist’s lives had been changed too.
They’d both become cover models.
His Lexi had changed a lot of lives and all for the better.
He couldn’t imagine his happily ever after any better.
Maybe he should ask Lexi about approaching one of their friends who were authors about writing down their love story.
Nah, maybe not.
He wasn’t sure he wanted their kids reading all the things he and Lexi had done, especially since his kids weren’t dating until they were in their forties if he had anything to say about it.
The screen door made a sound, and Booker scooted over on the swing, opening his arm to have Lexi cuddle up next to him.
She curled her legs under her nightgown and leaned her head on his shoulder, her hand touching their son’s cheek.
“We make pretty babies, don’t we?”
she whispered.
He dropped a kiss on her forehead.
“Yes, we do.
Have I told you today how much I love you and love our life?”
Booker asked.
“Nope, but you show me every day.”
The screen door slamming open heralded their oldest.
“Mama, I needs my coffee.
Nana said we can go get eggs then make pancakes.”
He bit his lip watching his oldest pop her hip out to the side as she shook her finger at Lexi and him.
He and Lexi rued the day that Maureen had made hot chocolate for their princess and then called it kids’ coffee.
His little princess now demanded it every day, saying she couldn’t function without it.
He handed their son to Lexi and moved the light cover over to her.
“You hold him.
I’ll get our princess her coffee and grab us some too.”
He leaned over, kissing his son’s head and then tasting his wife’s lips.
Each day just got better and better with her.
“Daddy, I needs coffee,”
his princess said.
He reluctantly pulled away and picked up his little princess.
“Let’s go, milady.
You definitely need your coffee if you and Nana are making all of us pancakes.”
She leaned her head on his shoulder, “I love you, Daddy.”
“Love you too, baby.”
Could life get any better than this? He didn’t think so, but he was looking forward to if it did.
Thank you for reading Lexi and Booker's love story.
