Chapter 304 Bloom

    As their lips met, Lucien found it hard to pull away.

    “Honey… did you wear perfume today?”

    Kaia, breathless and a little dazed from the kiss, blinked slowly. “Huh? No.”

    Her lips parted slightly, her breathing uneven. “I’m not wearing any perfume.”

    Lucien’s eyes darkened with desire. “So sweet…”

    He leaned in again, brushing his mouth over hers. His voice had turned low and husky. “Must be the milk then. Let me have

    another taste.”

    “Stop talking nonsense…” Kaia murmured, eyes squeezed shut

    in embarrassment.

    The babies were both on form now–there was no way it was

    the scent of milk.

    But Lucien didn’t seem to care. He licked his lips like he was savoring it. “Don’t believe me? Try it yourself.”

    Without waiting, he captured her lips again in a deep r, moreз2

    possessive kiss.

    As Kaia felt her knees giving out, Lucien caught her just in time and lifted her effortlessly into his arms–never breaking the

    kiss.

    “W–where are the babies?” she asked weakly between kisses.

    Lucien’s eyes glinted with mischief. “With the matrons. You don’t need to think about anything else right now.”

    He swallowed every sigh, every soft moan she gave, his kisses a perfect mix of restraint and fire.

    Kaia didn’t wake up until the next afternoon—as expected.

    The first thing that came to mind startled her.

    Lucien walked in just then, dressed infy loungewear. He sat at the edge of the bed and ced a gentle kiss on her eyelids. “Awake?”

    “Yeah…” she mumbled. Then quickly asked, “Wait–did you use a condomst night? I really don’t remember. If not, I need to take the morning–after pill.”

    She looked at him seriously. “I can’t handle a third baby.”

    Lucien remained calm. “No need. There won’t be a third.”

    Kaia blinked. “What… what do you mean?”

    Lucien smiled faintly. “Just what it sounds like. From now on, only the two we already have.”

    Her eyes widened in shock. “You got a vasectomy?”

    Lucien nodded. “Yep.”

    “Don’t worry,” he added, his tone light as he brushed a finger along her cheek. “Doctor said it won’t affect performance.”

    He leaned close and blew a soft breath into her ear, voice teasing. “Didn’tst night already prove that?”

    Kaia flushed and gave him a yful punch. “When did this happen? Why didn’t I know?”

    Lucien grinned. “While you were still recovering. Pills aren’t good for your body, and I hate using condoms.”

    Kaia stared at him, momentarily speechless.

    Lucien had a talent–no matter how serious the moment, he always knew how to twist it into something flirty, something that made her heart flutter.

    “Thank you,” she whispered.

    Lucien raised an eyebrow, clearly pleased. “No need to thank me. If you insistb, /bsave it for tonight.”

    There he went again–never missing a beat.

    *****

    When the twins turned one, the family gathered for a special photoshoot.

    Kaia cradled their son, while Lucien held their daughter close with a look of quiet pride.

    “All eyes on the camera!” the photographer called out, eager to capture the perfect moment of this remarkably beautiful family.

    Kaia offered a radiant smile, poised and confident.

    But Lucien–true to form–didn’t look at the camera. Instead, he turned slightly, eyes fixed on Kaia, a soft, loving smile tugging at his lips.

    The shutter clicked, freezing that fleeting, tender nce in

    time.

    After the shot, Kaia walked over to the screen, her lips pouting

    in mock protest. “Lucien, really? You were supposed to look at the camera!”

    Lucien simply grinned. “Honey, how could I? You looked too beautiful. I couldn’t look anywhere else.”

    The photographer nearly choked. This kind of open affection caught himpletely off guard.

    Standing there awkwardly, he suddenly felt like an uninvited guest to something much more intimate than a photoshoot.

    He cleared his throat. “Uh, Mrs. Graves… honestly, that shot’s a winner. Family portraits don’t always have to be traditional.”

    They moved outdoors for a second round of photos, where the real surprise of the day awaited: the twins were absolute angels. Not a single cry, no fuss–just wide eyes and gentle

    COOS.

    On the drive home, Kaia squeezed their chubby cheeks and cooed, “You two were so well–behaved today!”

    Lucien smiled, brushing his fingers lightly over their daughter’s soft curls. “They know how to make their mom happy.”

    Kaia turned to him with a yful glint in her eye. “What about 576

    Lucien caught her hand and pressed a kiss to her palm. “I’ll go the extra mile… to make sure you’re the happiest woman in the

    world.”

    His rose had finally bloomed–vibrant, strong, and surrounded by the love they had grown together.
