Kade told her he loved her as he tore her clothes off and carried her to the bedroom.
They were a little late for their babysitting that night, but Sam and Maddie never said a word. Her sister took one look at Asha’s swollen lips, tousled hair, and contented smile and winked at her as she and Sam went reluctantly out the door.
Asha winked back, smiling as she flipped the lock on the door behind them.
She entered the living room to find Kade holding both babies, one in each arm, all three of them asleep. Her heart turned over as she saw the protective way he held the babies, an arm curled around each tiny body.
It wasn’t often that both of the twins slept at the same time, but Kade seemed to have the magic touch. Asha crept over to the couch and cuddled beside Kade, resting her head on his leg.
It was one of those moments when everything in her life was perfect.
She was with Kade, her nephew, and her niece.
Real family!
Asha knew she had finally found the place where she truly belonged. All her life, all she’d wanted was a real home. Finally, she realized that home wasn’t just a place. It was a state of mind. And it was him. Life really was all about love, and as long as she was with Kade, she’d always be home.
