Capturing Our Lady's Heart [Commando Cowboys and Renegade Texans Unite 1] (Siren Publishing Everlasting Polyromance) (29 page)

Bliss walked into the ranch house, set her purse down, and pulled off her coat. Lann and Bern were sitting in the two lounge chairs by the fire.

“You both stopped work early today. It’s only four o’clock.”

“We wanted to be here when you got home. Did you hire another assistant?” Bern asked.

“Yes, I did. But it doesn’t mean I won’t still go in three days a week as we agreed.”

“Right,” Lann said. “But not when the weather’s bad, and definitely not when you get close to your due date.”

“You’d think I was the first woman to have a baby.”

“You’re our wife and this is our first child. We can’t be too careful,” Bern stressed.

“Yes, you can. I’m going to ask the doctor to tell you two to back off.”

Lann nuzzled her neck. “It won’t do any good. It’s the way we are.”

“My shop has been such a success. I have trouble leaving it in the hands of another person.”

“You said you liked the lady you interviewed, and that she’s older and seems very responsible,” Bern reminded her.

“True, but when I can’t go in at all, for a short time”— she said to remind them she wasn’t staying away from her business for long—“I’ll hire a part-time assistant for Saturdays.”

“We’re very proud of you,” Lann said. “We don’t want to interfere in your business, but we want you to be safe.”

Bern pulled her onto his lap and rubbed the small baby bump. “We’ll drive you into town whenever you feel you really need to be there. Even during the last few months,” he added.

“Thanks.”

“Our Scottish cook, Aulay MacFie, has been cooking all day. Ever since we told him the good news, he’s been cooking special meals for you,” Lann said.

“How did some of your people get Scottish blood?”

“You know our men. They ranged far and wide when our ancestors lived in Europe.”

“I know your people and the spark in your eye. Cool it. I’m a wee bit tired, as Aulay would say.”

She leaned her head back against Bern’s chest. She might be tired, but it’d never stop her from loving her men or being in love with them. Still, she liked to tease.

Lann knelt at Bern’s feet and took her hand. “I love you, darlin’, tired or not.” He also rubbed the small bump on her tummy.

She clasped Lann’s hand and rubbed Bern’s arm encircling her waist. Joy and happiness had been a constant for her every day since her wedding.

“I love you two, also, forever.”
