Free Chasing Charlie by Aria Cole Page A

thought it would be possible, yet here he was in all his sexy Irish glory. 
    I’d found my own four leaf clover. It looked nothing like I’d expected, and yet it was everything I wanted.

 
    EPILOGUE

    “You covering that shift tonight, babe?” I called through the large, empty space of our new home. 
    We’d just moved in yesterday. I’d bought an empty plot of land on the outskirts of North Cambridge, far enough away from her family for some privacy, but close enough that we could still help out at the bar whenever her dad needed it. Vince Sr. was even talking about us taking over the bar someday, but Charlie thought I should put my business degree to work and open up a few more locations around New England. She wanted to keep de Rossi’s a local family brand. 
    “Babe!” she called.
    I pounded up the sweeping staircase and down the long hallway into our master suite. 
    “I made other plans. I hope you’re not upset?” Charlie stepped out of our walk-in closet, a tightly bound black bustier and lacy boy shorts the only things covering her gorgeous curves. 
    “I think I approve of this change of plans.” I stalked toward her. “Where’s the baby?” 
    “Daddy took him for the night. Said we needed the break since it’s our anniversary and all.” She clutched my shirt at the collar and pulled me down to her lips. Her slow, deep kisses always made me lose my mind. 
    “Really thankful for Grandpa tonight,” I mumbled against her lips before running my hands up her lace-clad body. 
    “He made me promise that you’d make Irish stew this weekend.”
    “Ah, of course he did.” I caught her bottom lip with my teeth, my cock flexing in my pants. I wanted her right fucking now. 
    “You know, we were just leaving for our honeymoon this time a year ago.” Her tone grew wistful. 
    “I remember. Going around Ireland in a golf cart,” I teased, remembering our road-trip-style honeymoon. 
    She pressed up on her tiptoes and murmured against my ear, her palms trailing up and down my rigid form, “Dad loved that you flew him all the way to Ireland for the wedding.” 
    “Why are we talking about this right now?” I mumbled against her neck between sweet little kisses. 
    “Because I was just thinking that I love what a family man you are. It’s the reason I married you.”
    I groaned, my hips rocking against her, desperate to relieve some of the ache she caused. 
    “For instance, I don’t have to worry at all that you’ll be upset when I tell you I’m pregnant and we’re going to have two kids under the age of two.”
    My mind froze to a dead halt. “Was that a hypothetical?” My gaze trained on hers, my hands stalled on her hips. 
    She shook her head once before a mega-watt smile tipped her lips. “You’re going to be a daddy, Daddy.” 
    “Charlie!” I pulled her into my arms and swung her around the large room. “Are you kidding? Don’t play with my heart.”
    “Never.” She smiled then took my face in both hands and kissed me again. 
    I hitched her legs around my waist and walked her carefully back to our bed. 
    “God, I’m the luckiest man on earth. First you, then our beautiful little boy, and now another?” I circled my palms over her flat abdomen. “You know I love you pregnant. Something about seeing my baby growing inside you does things to me.”
    Charlie’s hands pushed through my hair, her smile lighting up the entire room and brightening my life every minute of every day. “Show me.”
    I groaned, fumbling to push the pants off my legs and get between hers. “You’re a vision. You steal my heart every day, but seeing your belly grow, watching that special glow light your cheeks… you steal everyone’s heart, but you’ve got mine chained.” 
    “I love you so much.” She moaned against my lips and arched beneath me. 
    “I love you more.” I pushed my fingers through her hair as I slid my cock between her legs. “You and our babies are the only
