“I wouldn’t go that far,” I said.
“Well, I would. Hell, I hope our future clan of children is just as batshit.”
I almost choked. “How many kids make a clan?”
“I dunno,” he said, rubbing the back of his neck. “Like, eight?”
I knew my vagina couldn’t speak, but I swore I heard it let out a low whimper of terror. “How about two?”
“Seven,” Josh said.
“This isn’t a negotiation.”
He dropped his arm from my shoulders and turned to face me. “Okay, six. But that’s as low as I’m willing to go.”
“Two,” I said, fighting back a grin.
He crossed his arms over his chest. “Five. That’s my final offer.”
“Keep it up, and it’ll be zero.”
He leaned forward and waggled his brows. “Picture me holding a toddler in one arm and a baby in another.”
Uh-oh. No, ovaries. Put down the warpaint.
He leaned closer. “Shirtless.”
Fuck. I was totally going to have this man’s giant babies.
He must have seen his victory in my expression because he closed the distance between us and scooped me up, kissing me breathless while Fred tried to climb the other curtain and yanked that side of the rod straight out of the drywall.
It was pure chaos.
The absolute best day of my life.
I couldn’t wait for a million more of them.

This is the book that was never going to be a book. It was simply an idea that popped into my head while scrolling through TikTok one night. Without thinking much of it, I stitched a video of a masked man and said, "Okay, hear me out. It's a romance novel…" Nearly 100,000 people watched and demanded that I make that idea a reality, and now here we are.
