“By telling me where our daughter is,” I demand. “You had her last.”

“She’s over there with your parents trying to sucker them into letting her have another cupcake.” He gestures over to the buffet table. “Now can I have my kiss?”

“Not even a please?” I taunt.

“Get over here,” Ian says, tugging me closer.

He plants a sweet but brief kiss on my lips, then leans in close to my ear.

“Don’t even think for a minute that’s all I want from you,” he whispers. “I have every intention of celebrating with you all night.”

I smirk. “Promises, promises.”

Ian swats my ass playfully.

“There is one thing I will admit to being a little dissatisfied with, though,” Alexei admits.

“What’s that?” I ask.

“Audrey’s getting a little too easy to handle. The guys and I have been thinking it’s high time to shake things up and add a few more players to our family’s team. How about it, Emily? Are you up for it?” he asks with a look that sends heat flooding to my cheeks.

“Let me check in with the boss on that one,” I say, beckoning Audrey over to me.

I scoop her up and plant a kiss on her chocolate smeared cheek. “What do you think, Pumpkin? Would you like a little brother or sister?”

Audrey claps her hands with delight. “Can we go get one right now?”

Oliver laughs then takes her from my arms and starts tickling her until she’s breathless.

“I think you’re going to have to wait a little longer than that, Little Pea, but I think we can make that happen pretty soon.” He grins.
