In Love With My Son's Best Friend EPILOGUE
JUNE’S POVOne Year LaterMorning sunlight filled the nursery, so I paused in the doorway and watched Luca holding our son close.One of his big hands covered the baby’s entire back while the other supported his small head. He rocked gently, steady and practiced from all the hours we’d spent learning together. Noah’s eyes stayed closed, his tiny mouth slightly open, his body completely relaxed with that kind of trust only newborns have.“Easy now,” Luca murmured. “Daddy’s got you. I’ll always have you.”I pressed my hand to my chest.Noah James Brooks.He was born three months ago after eighteen long hours of labor that left Luca crying almost as much as the baby. He weighed seven pounds, six ounces, and had a full head of dark hair. Everyone said he already had his father’s eyes.I saw mine instead. Maybe I just wanted that to be true.My shoulders relaxed as I stood there, taking them in.Everything it took to get here ran through my mind.It was never simple. There were turns I did
In Love With My Son's Best Friend 0181: HOME SWEET CHAOS
JUNE’S POVI slid the key into the lock and paused for a second.This apartment was ours now. We had chosen it together, fixed it up side by side, and filled it with mismatched chairs, stacks of books, and photos that told our story.After two weeks away, walking back in felt natural.Luca nudged the door open with his hip, juggling both suitcases. The smell hit me first. No ocean breeze or tropical flowers. Just coffee, old books, and the faint trace of candles Marlene had burned while taking care of the plants.“Home,” he said, dropping the bags.I shut the door and leaned against it. “Home.”He crossed the room in a few quick steps and pulled me into his arms. We stayed there, wrapped in the quiet.“It’s good to be back,” he murmured into my hair.“It’s good to be back with you.”He gave a soft laugh. “I was with you the whole trip.”“That’s what made it good.”We unpacked slowly. The shells for Ashley went into a glass bowl on the coffee table. The champagne we saved went into the
In Love With My Son's Best Friend 0180: WIFE ON DECK
JUNE’S POVOur plane touched down on the runway just as the sun started to set.I kept my cheek pressed to the little window, watching the coastline slide into view below us. Turquoise waves met golden sand while palm trees swayed in a breeze I could almost feel through the glass. Luca sat beside me, seatbelt already off, fidgeting like he always did when he got excited.He brought it up again, for what felt like the hundredth time. “Two weeks straight. Just you and me.”“You keep saying that like you still can’t believe we’re actually here.”He leaned in and kissed my temple. “I can’t. Pinch me so I know this is real.”I gave his arm a firm pinch.“Ouch. I meant something softer.”“You left that part out.”Once the plane stopped, we grabbed our luggage—one suitcase each, plus the small duffel with sunscreen, that book I’d been putting off for ages, and the champagne we’d picked up at duty-free.The second we stepped outside, warm humid air wrapped around me, thick with salt. It felt
In Love With My Son's Best Friend 0179: TWO WEEKS NAKED
JUNE’S POVI stayed curled up next to Luca in bed for the next hour. Our phones glowed between us as we searched for honeymoon destinations, stealing kisses whenever one of us looked up.The mountains came up first. He ruled them out quickly because sunshine was at the top of his list.Europe tempted us for a minute, but the flight would eat up too much of our two weeks.I shut down the cruise idea immediately. “Boats make me queasy even when I just look at them from shore.”Luca rejected camping just as fast. “I love you, but I’m not sleeping on the ground for our honeymoon.”Then I found it.A small town on the southern coast with private villas right on the ocean. Miles of empty beach, no crowds, just palm trees, salt air, and a hammock Luca would claim instantly.“This,” I said, turning my phone toward him.He studied the photos. The first showed turquoise water and a villa with an outdoor shower and a king bed facing the ocean.“Book it,” he said.“Seriously? That fast?”“June, I
In Love With My Son's Best Friend 0178: HUSBAND PROVES IT
JUNE’S POVThe party lights were still glowing in the backyard as my new husband swept me up along the flower-lined walkway. My wedding gown’s lace spilled across his jacket. Cheers and songs followed us—Adrian hollered, Marlene sniffled happily, Ashley yelped—but Luca never slowed down. He carried me straight to the small stone cottage at the far end of the property, the one Marlene had decorated with extra peonies, candles, and a chilled bottle of champagne on the nightstand.Our first night as a married couple.Husband and wife.Those words still felt brand-new on my tongue, just like the simple gold band circling my finger. We’d picked it out together because it matched us—solid and real.He kicked the door shut and eased me down so my back pressed against the cool wood. We paused, staring at each other in the soft lamp light. His eyes were still puffy from the ceremony. Mine probably were too. Heat flared between us now, built from every touch and glance out in the yard.“Mrs. Br
In Love With My Son's Best Friend 0177: FOREVER STARTS
JUNE’S POVThe rain had finally eased.I paused right at the garden entrance, fingers resting lightly on Adrian’s arm while I watched those clouds split open above us. Sunlight poured down warmly through the opening.Marlene had called me radiant earlier that morning. Confident. Free.The ivory lace gown had sleeves brushing my wrists, and the train brushed softly over the damp grass. No veil. Peonies pinned right into my hair matched the ones Marlene had set out on the tables. My face stayed open now.Adrian glanced down at me. His eyes looked a little red from the tears he’d shed back in the hallway before we headed out, though he’d brush it aside if asked.“You ready, Mom?”I gave his arm a light squeeze. “Been ready for three years now.”He smiled. “Then let’s get you to him before he waits any longer.”The music kicked in right then. It skipped the usual march for a gentler tune that took me back to the summer I first met Luca. He’d picked this piano melody himself months earlier

JUNE’S POVThe band was already playing when we stepped into the reception hall. Floor lights turned slow circles over the tables while guests crowded in with drinks raised and phones out. I stood near Franklin and Marlene as people pressed in to congratulate us, and Luca stood on Marlene’s other s

JUNE’S POVI stood at the edge of the aisle runner, fingers clamped so hard around the bouquet that the stems cracked and oozed sticky sap onto my palms. The flowers were all white roses and gold-dusted lilies, heavy as wet rope. Every time I shifted my weight, the heels of my shoes sank a little d

JUNE’S POVI sat on the closed toilet lid in the master bathroom with the door locked, even though Franklin was already asleep. The overhead light was too bright, bleaching the room into hard angles and pale colors. My phone rested in my lap, the screen lit with a stack of messages from Luca that I

JUNE’S POVI needed more edge. I stood just long enough to strip off my skirt and panties, the cool air shocking against my dripping heat, then pushed him flat and climbed back on, facing his feet this time.I braced my hands on his thighs , muscle taut under my palms and sank down again, taking hi
