“See? I told you so.”
I grinned and placed my hand on the back of her head, gently pushing her lips toward the tip of my fat cock. “I think I need a little more proof…”
The memory of how she’d sucked me off before I ate her pussy to several orgasms, then fucked her until she was screaming my name, made my pants tight. Luckily, I was torn from those memories when Sunny let out a frustrated groan.
“Just like your mommy, aren’t you, little one?” she cooed as she returned to us and placed Clover in Juniper’s arms.
“What happened?” Juniper asked curiously as she settled against the upright bed.
“The scale died,” Sunny sighed, giving Juniper a pointed look. “But I recorded her weight before it shut off, so we’re good for now.”
Juniper shrugged lightly, so as not to disturb Clover. “Sorry. Maybe my ability to repel technology is genetic.”
Hope sparked inside me. If Juniper’s theory was correct, then Clover might have the same immunity to my power.
“I’ll just leave you three alone for a little family bonding time,” Sunny informed us with a smile before strolling out of the recovery room.
“You should hold her,” Juniper said softly.
I swallowed hard, then nodded, holding out my arms.
She shook her head and held on to our little bundle of joy. “Take them off, honey. The first time you hold our daughter will not be with all your protective gear. I promise, it will be okay.”
Juniper had my trust completely, but this was a tough request. If I hurt either of my girls in any way…I’d make sure the next electric shock I endured kept me from hurting anyone ever again.
Slowly, I pulled off my leather gloves and set them on a nearby chair. But Juniper wasn’t satisfied with that, and she pointed at my chest. “Shirt too. Babies should have skin-to-skin contact with their parents. It’s a bonding thing.”
“Juniper…” I warned, not ready to go that far.
“Silas…” she threw back in a mocking tone.
I huffed and ripped my long-sleeved T-shirt over my head, dropping it on top of my gloves. With my heart frozen with fear and my body shaking from anxiety, I reached out my arms.
“Relax, Daddy,” Juniper crooned. “You’re going to be the most amazing father.” She tenderly transferred Clover into my arms, and I held her all bundled up in her blanket, cuddling her against my chest.
“She’s so fucking perfect,” I breathed in awe.
“Language, Silas,” Juniper hissed, but she was giggling, so it didn’t have the desired effect. “And stop being such a scaredy-cat. You won’t hurt her. You can’t. Even if I didn’t think she inherited my immunity to your electricity, I still believe you wouldn’t hurt her because you simply wouldn’t let yourself.”
I frowned in doubt, but I trusted her gut. Honestly, mine was saying the same thing. So I carefully unwrapped Clover’s tiny body and held her skin to skin against my chest.
A weight lifted from my shoulders, one so heavy I was pretty sure I grew a couple of inches.
I was holding her. My sweet baby girl.
I sat down on the bed beside Juniper and put my other arm around her, snuggling both my girls.
How did I ever get so lucky?
This was my family. Not only were they amazing but I could show them love through touch as well as words.
“Do you think all of our kids will be this way?” I wondered aloud.
“Yes.”
I glanced at her, surprised by the force behind her swift answer. “What makes you so sure?”
“Because you’re perfect, too. Even though you think you’re a monster, to me and Clover, you're amazing. And you deserve a happy ending just as much as the rest of us. You gave me my fairy tale, Silas. But you forget that my happily ever after includes you.”
I was stunned by her attitude. And humbled. “I love you more than anything, you know that, right?”
Juniper snuggled into my side and sighed. “Yup.”
I laughed and bent my head to place a kiss on my daughter’s cheek, then one on my wife’s lips.
“I love you, too,” she murmured sweetly before she drifted off to sleep with a tender smile on her beautiful face.
Epilogue
Juniper
Silas was the best man I’d ever known, and he only got better the longer we were together. I loved how much he had blossomed under my love, no longer seeing himself as the monster who would have killed someone if it hadn’t been for his sister’s magic. He still had to be careful around others so there weren’t any accidents with the electrical charge that would forever be a part of him, but being able to touch me had lessened the burden for him. Then our beautiful daughter was born, and it was as though he didn’t have a single trouble in the world.
He doted on Clover, showing her each day that she had his unconditional love. My baby girl would never have the same doubts that I’d suffered from with my parents—who’d gone through with their threat of cutting me out of their life. It turned out to be their loss because they missed out on the amazingness that was their granddaughter.
