Nolan helps me remove my clothes. As he pulls my shirt over my head, he draws my attention away from the other two.
Cupping his face, I place a kiss on his lips. “How are the girls?” I ask him quietly.
“They're ok,” he tells me, looking a little sad. “They're in the same bed tonight, and I had to leave the door all the way open. They wouldn't let me leave until they fell asleep, but I think they’ll be ok. They kept talking about how brave their mommy was and how they both hope to be as brave as you when they grow up. I think that's part of the reason neither of them have joined us in here. They want to be just like mommy.”
My heart melts and tears brim in my eyes. I feel so much love. Feeling warm hands on my body, I turn my head. Louis has slid in behind me, his warm body spooning me from behind.
I can see that Carter has snuggled in behind Louis. Nolan reaches over and squeezes them both before his hands drift back to rest on my body. The light goes out and the stress of the day finally leave. I slip into a deep sleep, no dreams disturbing it, wrapped safely in the arms of my men.
Thank you for reading!
I hope you enjoyed the book. It would be super awesome if you could leave a review wherever you bought it, because I love to hear what you thought of the story.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
TO JEN, KANDI, SERENA, Lucy, Kelly and Emma, the wonderful woman I shared the Leaving Eden Anthology with, which Glory was originally a part of. Thank you for all your help and support through the process. It gave me the confidence I needed to take the leap to publish my solo books.
Thankyou Claire for your shared knowledge and your patience with my formatting dramas. You are an inspiration and I want to be just like you when I grow up.
I had a blast writing Glory originally and I just couldn’t get her to be quiet, her story had to finish. And who knows we may still see more of Glory in the future. Keep an eye out on my face book group for future updates.
