Nobody Does It Better(32)

Vanessa: So you’re not going to be surprised?





Ella: Oh, I’m going to act surprised. But it won’t be an act when I’m over the moon and say yes. I want this more than I wanted a love like those in the love stories. Because that’s what I think this will be.





That weekend





Vanessa: OMG! He asked and she said yes! Show us the ring.

Ella: *flashes stunning picture of gorgeous diamond ring!*





Arden: It’s so beautiful. I’m crying at the sparkles.





Perri: It shines. Look how it shines like the sun! But confession: Arden is crying because she can’t fit out the door. I’m over here trying to shove her out on account of contractions and Gabe being on shift, but we just want to say we love your ring and we’re so happy for you, Ella.





Ella: Go, go, go! We want babies!!





Shaw: Up for a beer after work? It’s on me. Since I owe you beers for the rest of my life.





Derek: You won’t get any argument from me on that, but go ahead and tell me why you’re going to be the purveyor of all my beers.





Gabe: I’d also like to be included in that beer-for-life gift.





Shaw: Seems Jamie proposed to my wife’s little sister.





Derek: Dude, you have me to thank for so many things.





Shaw: That’s why I’m thanking you. Because it just keeps getting better and better. You setting up Jamie and Ella gave me what I needed.





Gabe: Hey, Shaw, do you think Derek can try to get a job as a matchmaker? Maybe he could go connect with Miriam and the other ladies. I hear they’ve been quite busy. Hunter just moved in with Madeline.





Shaw: Aww, Derek would look so cute with a diaper and bow and arrow, don’t you think?





Derek: You guys can mock me all you want, but I just scored beer for life.





Gabe: And I will gladly snag one of your brews. Holy shit. I got to jump. Arden went into labor.





Twenty-four hours later





Gabe: And I am now the father of two beautiful twin girls, and I couldn’t be happier. My babies are perfect, and I love them madly. Look at these angels.





Derek: They’re beautiful, man. I’m so damn happy for you guys. Perri is honking the horn right now and demanding I get my butt over to the hospital.





Shaw: Heading over there in a few with Vanessa. Can’t wait to meet ’em.





Gabe: Just look for the happiest guy here.





Shaw: I think it’s safe to say we all are. The happiest guys.

Prologue



Dude-bros will tell you the pinnacle of male sexual prowess is to make a woman meow.

I will tell you, that’s a dumbass metaphor.

Literal, figurative, it’s complete bullshit.

Cats meow when they’re hurt, hungry, or just plain chatty. A feline might be stressed, pissed, or simply want you to open the goddamn bedroom door at night.

So, the cat’s meow is a myth. I should know.

But the purr? The magical, mysterious, wondrous purr? The aural indication of pussycat pleasure? That’s the mission impossible a man ought to be making come to life. Cats purr for a couple reasons, but the most common one is to show they’re satisfied.

Yes, satisfied.

That’s a man’s job, and that’s why I don’t play small stakes kitty-cat games. No cat’s meows, no pajamas either. My one goal when I get a woman between the sheets is to make her so immensely pleased that she purrs.

I’m not an over-and-out type of guy. There’s no one-and-done for me. I’m a believer in delivering satisfaction in every way, in and out of the bedroom.

That’s exactly what I want to do with a certain someone.

Trouble is, that someone is most definitely off-limits, so it’s time to put a leash on this dog.

But then I learn something wildly unexpected about her, and there’s no way I can turn away from that kind of challenge.
