This makes him laugh. “You’re probably right. I was worse than my dad, so if we had twins, they'd probably make my antics look like child's play. Or at least one of them would.”

“Yeah, I’m good. You were a handful! Your mama has told me too many horror stories. Things I didn’t even know.”

He snorts. “I’ll have to thank her for that one later. So does anyone else know yet? Can we start tellin’ people?”

I shake my head. “I just took the test this mornin’ and was anxious for you to find it. I was dying through breakfast! Maybe we should wait until my first ultrasound to tell everyone.”

“Okay, sweetheart. Whenever you’re ready. But you know, it’s gonna be hard as hell to keep it a secret. I want the world to know my woman is havin’ my baby. One of many.”

“As long as it’s one at a time,” I counter, and he laughs.

“Fair enough, but no promises. This might be a bad time to tell you, but I kinda promised Harper she could be the godparent of our kids.” I burst out laughing, and before I can respond, he pulls me into his chest and crushes his lips to mine. The kiss deepens and grows more greedy, and I’m tempted to lead him into the bedroom right now and take exactly what I want. Based on the erection poking into my stomach, I know we’re on the same page.

Knox pushes away so he can meet my eyes. “Maybe I should call in sick today, and we can stay in bed all day and celebrate.”

The stud operation has been running smoothly for almost eight months now. It might be a proud wife moment, but Knox has quickly become a reputable stud master in the area. There’s already a long waitlist. They’ve been adding more boarding stalls so they can accept more mares.

Knox is the mastermind behind marketing and operations, while Kane manages the barn and deals with customers. Today, several female horses are supposed to be picked up by their owners, and it’s usually all hands on deck during that time. If Knox calls in, Kane and Payton will be swamped with customers and horse duties, which will be extremely hectic. But I won’t ever pass up an opportunity to spend a day in bed with him. I know those two can handle it.

I laugh, meeting his eyes. “Do you really want Kane treatin’ you like shit all week for ditchin’ today?”

“No, but it’d be worth it. I hear women get super horny when they’re pregnant.”

“Yep, I’ve heard the same.”

“Guess that means I’m really gonna keep you knocked up for the next ten years.” He winks.
