The One He Claimed by Cooper

Chapter 158: Zahn’s Request

“He’ll never take me from you,” she purrs at him.

“I’ll kill him if he tries,” he growls.

“So, Jocelyn is settled for the night?” I ask Sophie.

“She is. I think she’ll enjoy the peacefulness here and Allison is going to help us get the garden started before they head back home,” she says.

“I guess I know what we’re doing tomorrow,” Kayce says drolly.

Allison smacks his arm good-naturedly. “We can do it, Kayce.”

“You’re pregnant, Allison. You’re not going to be shoveling dirt and moving heavy plots of grass. We can help,” he says, grabbing her hand and kissing it.
