Harris looks bemused.
“Anything I should know about?”
I merely giggle again while nuzzling his huge form.
“I think it’s better if you didn’t,” I say. “It’s too shocking.”
“Daddy,” Harmon interrupts in a winsome voice. “Can I have some chips?”
My gorgeous boyfriend nods, his blue eyes shining.
“Of course, buddy. Go into the kitchen and help yourself. Bottom drawer.”
With that, the little boy skips away, and we’re left alone in the living room. I melt against the huge man, boneless with contentment.
“I’m so happy, Harris,” I whisper while running my hand over his. “You have no idea.”
He merely nuzzles my slender neck, darting his tongue out to lick at my earlobe.
“No, you have no idea, sweetheart,” he rumbles. “I’m so happy to have you back here with us, and I’m so grateful that you transferred schools to move home to Oakdale. It means the world to me, and well … I love you, sweet girl, and I’m eternally grateful that you’re here,” he says in a choked voice.
I merely stroke my hand through his black hair, pushing the glossy locks back.
“No, I’m the one who’s grateful,” I murmur while staring into my lover’s dazzling blue eyes. “For everything, Harris. For the way we’ve worked through this together, and for the honesty and openness that we practice now. You’re a wonderful father and boyfriend, and I love you more than you know.”
Then, our lips meet as happiness bursts in my heart because this is the man for me. Sure, Harris used to be my stepfather, and he had a dirty secret under his belt as well. But now, the secret is out and it’s not anything to be ashamed of at all. I love Harmon as if he were my own son, and not only that, but we’ve announced to the world that the three of us are a family. We are the Burns household, and I adore Harris for making it happen.
