- About the Author
Thalia tries to contain her tears as she walks closer to him and picks him up. "Baby. I want you to meet someone." Ace let’s go of me and I walk closer to Thalia and the little boy. The little boy looks at me and I can see the confusion on his face spread. "Meet Alexander Russo. Your dad," Thalia says softly.
I don't say anything.
I stand still and study him and his expressions.
I stand so still as if he is a ticking time bomb, and he will explode.
"Dad?" The boy looks up at Thalia and raises his eyebrows. "Daddy's not here though." He looks back at me.
"Turns out, he was here all along." Thalia looks at me with a soft smile. "Alexander. Meet your son Landon Russo."
I look down at Landon and compare him and Thalia since they are side by side.
He took some of her features, but he looks more like me.
I put my hand out to Landon. "Nice to meet you, Landon."
Landon inspects my hand and looks at Thalia. Thalia nods her head and Landon puts his hand in mine.
"Nice to meet you," Landon states and I can't help but laugh.
If you told me that Thalia and I would be in love, she would be my wife, having my child, me dying then coming back to fucking life and meeting my son this way, I would have died from laughter and choked on my own spit.
Epilogue
ONE YEAR LATER
The feeling of soft lips on my thighs makes me stir in my sleep. My eyes open and I look to my side but don't see Alexander.
I feel a pair of hands slide up my thigh before a pair of lips kiss me in between my legs.
My eyes close and I can't help but moan softly.
"Xander. What are you doing?" I grind into his face as he continues to lick and kiss me.
"Waking up the birthday girl," I hear him say before pulling me closer to his face and dragging his tongue up and down my folds.
It's not long before I drag my fingers into his hair and press his face into me.
Alexander comes up from under the covers with a smirk on his face. His lips press onto mine and I can't help but kiss him back, despite me not brushing my teeth.
"Fucking beautiful," he mutters as he holds himself above me. "You’re so perfect." Alexander smiles against the kiss.
"Interesting choice of waking me up," I say as he removes his lips from mine.
"I always love waking you like this."
"Okay what if Landon hears?" I raise my eyebrow at Alexander.
"Fuck him. He is a little shit anyways."
Yea Landon is a little shit sometimes.
