“What do you say we head home?” Without breaking his hold on me, he leans back.
“Let’s.” I smile and kiss him one more time.
I open my eyes to Liam kissing and talking to my ever-growing belly. I smile inwardly at the sight of him speaking to our unborn child. The moment we learned we were expecting, he went out and purchased every book he could find on pregnancy and being a new parent. After reading an article somewhere, he swears up and down the baby will recognize his voice and know he’s its daddy. I’m not sure I believe that, but I wouldn’t dare interfere with his dreams of bonding with our son.
“Good morning.” I stretch and say through a yawn, “What time is it?”
“Time to eat.” He smiles up at me.
I push up on my elbows. “Did you cook?” I sigh.
His grin turns devilish. “That’s not the kind of breakfast I had in mind.”
“Ooo. Do tell!”
“I’d rather show you.” Liam snakes a hand up my calf, then over my thigh and up to my center. With his thumb, he traces my clit through the fabric of my panties.
Warmth floods my body as I part my legs, giving him complete and total access to my being. My nerve endings tingle at the pressure he applies with each pass of his finger. When he slips beneath the material and find my folds slick with my juices, he moans, loud and hard.
“I’ll have to get you pregnant more often. I like how she’s always ready for me,” he adds, his voice low and sultry.
I want to give him the stink eye and let him know he’s out of his mind, but I’m too distracted by what’s happening between my legs to protest. Instead, I toss my head back and concentrate on the pleasure he brings. Liam hovers over me and plants a sloppy kiss to my lips while still playing with my pussy. My hands ache to touch him, to feel his girth in my palms while I stroke him into submission. I shift so I am angled enough to do just that. Reaching past the waistband of his pajama bottoms, I find him stiff and ready for me. Beads of pre-cum coat the tip and entice me more. I tease his head with my thumb, loving the slight tremor in his chest when I brush against the underside of it.
“Gahh. Fuck, I need to be inside you now.” He growls and positions himself behind me.
I scoot my ass backwards and drape my leg over his, waiting impatiently for him to give me what we both desire. Liam grips my underwear, pulling them to the side, and I shudder from the rough pressure the movement places on my nub. I crane my neck, watching as he shoves his pants down enough to free his erection. He’s thick and glistening from his own arousal. The sight alone brings me closer to the edge. To see just how turned on and excited being with me does to him is an aphrodisiac in itself.
He lines himself with my center, rubbing his member up and down my slit. Liam nuzzles close to my neck and groans as he finally slips into my throbbing pussy. Slowly, he works in and out of me, still pulling on my panties. The friction from my undergarments mixed with the rhythm of his strokes brings me closer to an orgasm with every thrust.
Liam whispers in my ear, telling me how much he loves me and how good I feel. I love when he talks to me but love it even more when he growls. So I grab my thighs, open myself up to him, and throw my ass back to meet his hips.
He sucks in a breath. “There you go, Lotus. Take this dick.” Liam bites into my shoulder and pounds me, our union sounding off through the cabin.
He moves the fabric aside, replacing it with his two middle fingers, and circles my clit. I gasp from the sensation, but not once do I break our dance. My muscles clench around him, signaling my nearing release.
“Shit. Look at me when you cum.”
I do as told, turning, and dart my gaze to his. My mouth falls open as electricity surges from my core to my legs and back. I shut my eyes inadvertently from the sensations, and he pumps hard.
“Uh-uh. Open them eyes.” He increases his torture on my clit.
“Fuck!” I blurt out, locking my sights on him while bracing for the rapture. That’s what it’s like, an ecstatic wave of ecstasy.
“I’m close, baby. Wait for me,” Liam says, increasing his speed, racing to spill his seed at the same time.
I convulse around him, both his body and mine stiffening from the building of our climax. With our gazes still entwined, we fuck each other like it’s the last thing either of us will do. I explode, soiling our sheets when he devours my mouth and jerks against me. We grow limp and sweaty while struggling to catch our breath.
A smile spreads across my face, and I twist to place my palm along his cheek. “I love you.”
“For forever and more.” He rubs my stomach.
I sigh. “Now about that food. Were you intending on trying to cook for me?” I laugh, but in all actuality, he’s gotten better at preparing meals since we discovered I was pregnant. It’s been his mission to do whatever it takes to spoil me rotten while I bring his child into the world.
He laughs. “No, I figured we’d head over to Ellie’s Diner.”
“Perfect.” I lift an arm out in front of me as if doing so will actually help me sit myself up.
He slips off the mattress and runs to the other side to take my hand, helping me up and out of bed. I’m in the final days of my third trimester and can’t wait to drop this load. Liam’s been amazing during this pregnancy, and the town’s folk, too. After the whole Serena Dembrinsky fiasco, we started fresh. I didn’t want to return to my apartment, not after two men were killed there. Just like Minneapolis, Duluth had soon harbored bad memories that I need to stay away from. I posed the idea of staying in Escape but never really thought he’d agree. Well, he did and rushed right over to Greystone Realty to sign an extended lease on the cabin we have.
We’ve been here a year now, and with Liam’s promotion to Intelligence Analyst and my new role as a Certified Registered Nurse at Escape General Hospital, we’ve earned enough to put down some roots. And with his promotion, he’s home a lot more than when he was an agent, which means he’ll need a designated working space. Paige Greystone helped by finding us a beautiful house in Escape Estates, not too far from Justin. Because of the pregnancy, we’ve taken our time moving, but everyone’s been so eager to help.
“All right, Momma, let’s get you fed,” Liam says once we’re dressed and heading out the door. He helps me down the steps and into the passenger seat of my Hyundai.
As he runs to the driver’s side, I fasten my belt and toy with the diamond on my left hand. He shuts his door and secures himself in place while letting his gaze settle on my fumbling fingers.
“When are we going to set a date, Lotus? You’ll be dropping this baby any day now. I really wanted to make you both Wrights before that happened.”
“We’re already Wrights.” I smile. “But I told you. As soon as Dana and Justin get back from their travels, we can finalize things. I want them to be a part of our wedding,” I say sweetly.
“Yes, ma’am. Well, he needs to get his ass back here now.”
We both laugh as he backs out onto the road.
We approach Main Street, finding a space right in front of the Diner. He puts the car in park and turns to me.
“Ready?”
I grin so hard my nose pushes up to my eyes. “Ellie’s, Ellie’s, Ellie’s” I singsong with my arms raised and dancing in my seat.
