I was trying to take care of everyone that had taken care of Emma until she had found me. Without them, I wouldn’t have her in my arms right now, my life at peace.
“Artem?”
“Hmm?”
“I’m pregnant.”
My entire world stopped and tilted sideways. “What?”
She turned to face me, biting her lower lip in a nervous gesture. “I’m pregnant. I’ve confirmed it with a doctor in town. I’m about three months along.”
I stared at her still-flat stomach, wondering how the hell I had missed her symptoms. “Pregnant.” She was having my kid.
Correction, Emma was having our kid. Emma reached out and took my hand, laying it over her stomach. “You feel that, little one? That’s your father that I’ve been telling you about. He’s so strong, and I hope you have some of him in you.”
My throat worked, but I couldn’t form the words on my tongue. My Emma was having a baby. In six short months, I would have a son or daughter that hopefully would be the spitting image of his or her mom. “Shit, Emma,” I finally said. “A kid?”
She met my eyes, concern flickering there. “That’s what happens when you have as much sex as we have, Artem.”
Yeah, well, we had a lot of sex.
“Are you happy?”
Happy didn’t even begin to describe what I felt. “I’m fucking beyond that, Em,” I told her, sliding my hand around her waist, and pulling her close. She had given me so much, and now she was giving me a family. “Fuck, I love you, woman.”
“I love you too,” she whispered, clinging to me.
A new sensation rolled through me, kicking up my protectiveness of her by ten million. “Are you all right? I mean, is the kid all right?”
She laughed, pulling away. “Everything’s fine, Artem. We are both fine. Please don’t go all protective mode on me now.”
Oh, I was already there.
“But,” Emma said, straddling my lap. “As much as these lights are awesome and I am so happy that you are happy about our child, there’s one little thing I need from you.”
I arched a brow. “Little?” I would show her how little it was.
She rolled her eyes, her fingers already playing with the buttons on my shirt. “All right, it’s far from little, but I still need it, Artem. I missed you so much.”
I growled and captured her lips with mine, letting all my love flow through that kiss. She was going to be the mother of our child. She was my wife, my partner, my heart. Without Emma, this life didn’t make a hell of a lot of sense.
Somehow, I got my cock freed and her sweatpants disappeared, goose bumps breaking out over her legs as she sheathed me inside. “Oh God,” she moaned, gripping my shoulders hard. “Artem.”
Yeah, I knew the feeling. My hands found her hips and I guided her to her first orgasm, her cries carrying across the still night. Her shirt joined her sweats and I cupped her breasts, noting the heaviness to them. Suddenly I was picturing Emma ripe with my child, how she would fucking glow with each passing month.
It was enough to make a man cry. “Come for me,” I told her harshly as I angled my hips upward, the emotions nearly too much to handle.
I hit the spot she loved, and Emma fell apart in my arms, bringing me to my own earth-shattering climax a moment later. Fuck me, I had missed that.
Emma collapsed against my chest and I hugged her close, attempting to chase away the cold. “We are going to have to do something different with the basement,” she mumbled against my chest.
I laughed, unable to help it. “Hell, no, that room is off-limits.” We used it frequently when we weren’t having sex outside.
She raised her head. “Artem! But what if he or she wanders down there? I mean, that would just be horrible to know that your parents have a sex playroom.”
I touched her nose, the grin on my face unable to be removed for now. “The room is off-limits, love. I’m not giving it up.”
She rolled her eyes, laying her head back on my chest. “Fine, then you better get a different key code.”
My laughter carried far into the night.
