high.” And had crashed and burned over the lack of a simple blue line.
He was silent for a long moment, and then he said, “Myrna, we have to come to terms with the idea that we may never have a baby.”
“Don’t say that,” she blurted out.
“Sweetheart, I know you don’t want to hear it and I can only think of one thing more wonderful than making a baby with you.”
She couldn’t think of anything more wonderful than holding a child she’d made with the love of her life. “There is nothing more wonderful than that.”
“There is,” he said.
“What?” If he said “playing live in front of fans,” she was going to reach through the phone and throttle him.
“Loving you for the rest of my life.”
Her eyes flooded with fresh tears, and the only response she could manage was a sniff.
“You’re my heart, Myrna. I’m sure having a baby will add to my love for you, but nothing will ever take away from it. With you in my life, I’m already blessed beyond reason, so if a baby is meant to happen for us, it will happen and if it doesn’t, we still have us. You are more than enough to make me happy.”
She nodded, so glad her husband was good at this emotional stuff.
“Myrna?”
“Yes,” she said.
“Will you love me less if I can’t give you a baby?”
“Of course not!” How could he even ask her that?
“Then quit beating yourself up.”
“Okay,” she said, a feeling of serenity washing over her. Everything would work out for them whether they were gifted with a child or not, because they had each other. She wondered why that hadn’t occurred to her until he’d said it. “You’re the best thing that has ever happened to me, Brian. I love you.”
“I love you too. Now you better get all rested up, because in less than two weeks I’ll be back in your bed, fucking you senseless and trying my damnedest to make a mother out of you.”
She laughed. “I look forward to it.”
“Did you remember to lock your door and set the alarm?”
“Yes.”
“And are you smiling now?”
She was. He always made her smile. “Yes.”
“Good. I might be able to sleep tonight.”
She sighed, thinking ahead to spending the next ten nights alone in her bed. “I miss you already.”
“I miss you too. Call me before you go to bed.”
“I will.”
They said their I-love-yous and their goodbyes, and she hung up. She cradled the phone against her chest and smiled to herself. It wouldn’t be long before he came home and took her back to paradise. And they wouldn’t even have to leave her bed to find it together.
Epilogue
One month later...
Myrna could barely see the screen of her phone through her happy tears as she typed in a text to her husband.
The rabbit died.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I’d like to thank Wendy Christy and Cyndi McGowen for continuing to do such an excellent job of beta reading for me. I’d also like to thank the amazing Beth Hill for her fabulous editing work. And I can’t forget my devoted fans, who will hopefully continue to read my books as I attempt to juggle writing and publishing books in three different series. I love you all!
WHAT’S NEXT
The next Sinners in Paradise novella will be announced soon. In the meantime, I’ll be releasing the first Exodus End book, entitled Insider . When? Um… soon.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Combining her love for romantic fiction and rock 'n roll, Olivia Cunning writes erotic romance centered around rock musicians. Raised on hard rock music from the cradle, she attended her first Styx concert at age six and fell instantly in love with live music. She's been known to travel over a thousand miles just to see a favorite band in concert. As a teen, she discovered her second love, romantic fiction -- first, voraciously reading steamy romance novels and then penning her own. She currently resides in Illinois.
