Chapter 280 The Murderer

Joyce's fingers brushed against the scorching heat and she jerked back, startled. She shot him an annoyed look. "What the heck are you doing? Dad's still outside."

Sebastian pulled her close and kissed her forehead. "Did I freak you out? It's not like you haven't seen it before. It's been extra excited lately; must be missing you. Babe, how about tonight..."

Before he could finish, Joyce clamped her hand over his mouth. "Nope, doc said third trimester's a no-go for sex."

Sebastian kissed her palm. "Just messing with you. I can keep it in check. Once our baby arrives and you're all healed up, we'll leave him with his grandpas and go on our honeymoon. You wanted to see the Northern Lights and hit up Radiant Canyon, right? We'll do it."

Joyce's mind was already drifting to happy places. She imagined snuggling with Sebastian, awestruck by the Northern Lights. They'd be on the other side of the world, soaking in the Grand Canyon's epic views.

She stood on tiptoe and kissed his chin.

'How much must Joyce love me to put up with all this?' Sebastian felt a bit moved.
