“Oh.” Levi met Cole’s eyes. Cole stared at him in bewilderment.
But that mansion... it was a place full of memories. And maybe... they could make more memories there, too. Levi gulped.
“We’ll live in the guesthouse,” he said quietly, glancing at Cole. “At least, until Bryce gets older.”
“Sounds good.” Cole squeezed his hand, lifting it to kiss Levi’s wrist. “Thanks, Gran. We really appreciate it.”
They pulled Gran into a tight hug. Over her shoulder, Levi saw his friends and family with smiles, Cole’s warmth pressed firmly against him.
Then Cole leaned in, kissing Levi on the ear. Levi’s heart swelled.
“Here’s to a new life together,” Cole whispered.
With Cole’s nightmares finally gone, with Micah’s blessings releasing them from the accident, and Bryce a healthy, happy child, they had started on a path to a better future. A future that contained no more doubts, and no more guilt.
And maybe, in the distant future... who knew? They might have a second baby on the way. Levi wasn’t as broken as he thought he was.
In the midst of all the congratulations, Cole leaned in, kissing Levi again, his eyes so bright.
This? It was the perfect beginning to a whole new chapter of their lives.

THANK YOU!
Thank you so much for reading The Pretense! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did writing it. :) Cole and Levi’s story veered away from my usual tropes - stepbrothers and age gaps and all things forbidden ;) - and yet it was so much fun!
What’s next, you ask? Well…. here’s a secret:
Micah’s book will be released end-May/early-June 2019, so be sure to join me for another hell of a ride! :D
In case you haven’t read Ollie and Eric’s book, that’ll be Stepbrother’s Secret. :) Or, for an age-difference MMM story, check out Harris, Valen, and Sam’s book! (Two Alphas, One Omega)
