EPILOGUE
F orever My Lady
Cameron
Two years later …
He did it. Cal sat before all those folks and spoke his truth. I’ve never been more proud of him.
Well, the day he stood before everyone to give Nicole the wedding of her dreams comes a close second. My little buddy, Tiger, did good as well. Everyone was afraid he was going to have a meltdown in front of all those people, but I had faith in him.
I haven’t stopped smiling since we arrived home. Today was a great day for my family. Looking around at everyone, I realize I have no regrets.
I wouldn’t be as happy as I am if I changed anything. Getting to see Ladybug and Kay reminded me that I have the life I chose. The one meant for me. I wouldn’t change a single thing.
Kay wanted Chanel and the boys to hang out together, so she took them and Cecilia back to her hotel for a sleepover. I wasn’t surprised to see Sammy appear with his sleepover bag to follow them. He’s become friends with my boys and he’s very protective over Cecilia.
I know they will all be safe around him. That kid is a scary twelve-year-old. I know grown men who don’t have the presence he has.
The Reese family is in town because of Cal’s conference and Jareil’s game here tonight. It worked out for everyone. It’s his last year playing.
He and Kay spoil my kids as much as Amina and I spoil Ladybug and Junior. Kay and Amina are actually friends. You can thank my mama for that. It’s funny how life works out.
I stand in my bedroom, removing my suit as small hands glide up my chest from behind. I cover my wife’s hands and smile. I can’t remember the last time we had an empty house to ourselves.
I reach behind me to pull her in front of me. She’s in only her panties and bra with the sexy heels she had on today. The smile in her eyes says a million words.
Images of our life together begin to play through my mind. I remember the first time I laid eyes on her. The time I ran into her in front of the Chinese spot, the moment I spotted her at that party, our first kiss, the day she gave birth to our sons, there have been so many great moments between us.
I think I love her more today than I ever thought possible. I pull my phone and connect it to the home system. This will forever be our thing.
“Forever My Lady” begins to play through our bedroom speakers. Amina looks back at me with sparkling eyes and a grin. I raise a questioning brow.
“What’s going on in your head?”
“I find it funny you would pick this song. It’s perfect.”
“Oh yeah, why is that?”
“The first verse says it all,” she says with a wide smile.
I think of the first verse and my heart swells. She can’t be telling me what I think she is. I drop to my knees and palm her belly as she stands before me.
“You’re pregnant?”
“Yup, we’re having another one. I must be crazy. We already have two who think they’re grown men and a two-and-a-half-year-old who acts like she’s forty.”
“But can you say you would change any of them? God, I love them and you.”
I palm her breasts as I plant open-mouthed kisses across her belly. I had been hoping for another baby. I couldn’t allow my little brother to outdo me. Hopefully, this will be another set of twins.
As the thought fills my mind, I stand and lift her onto my waist. It’s time I make love to my wife. Knowing there will be no interruptions, I take my time.
Placing her on the bed, I kiss my way down her body and peel her panties off. In the next motion, I toss her legs over my shoulders and bury my face between her thighs. Kissing and licking her inner thigh, I then move to her core and begin to feast on her.
I’m going to be a father again. I can’t help smiling into her sweet, wet center. I never thought this would be my life.
“Cam,” she moans as she writhes beneath me.
Needing to get my slacks off to finish undressing, I work on my belt and push my pants off. Not once do I stop eating her delicious pussy. It’s too intoxicating.
I reach up and lace one of my hands with hers as I use the other hand to knead her breast and fondle her nipple between my fingertips.
My mind drifts to all we’ve been through to get here. I’ve always wanted to fight for her. I have fought for her. Now, here we are.
When we fell apart, Amina said something simple to me that made everything click. I remember those words in this moment.
Decide what you want, Cam. You’ve spent your entire life helping Cal build his team. Now it’s your turn. Either you want us, or you don’t.
We’re yours. You just have to show me you want us. Show me you want me.
This isn’t anyone else’s business. Leave your mama and all that other drama out there. It’s me and your children. Either you’re going to love me for life or let me go.
I’m glad I decided to get my shit together. This is where I always want to be. As I push into her body, I feel like I’m coming home. This is the only place I belong.
“I love you,” I moan into her ear.
“I love you too, Cam. I always have.”
