Her body tenses as her whimpers grow frantic. “That feels amazing.”

“I know it does, Kitten,” I murmur. “I want to be the one who gives you all the pleasure you can handle and then I’m going to give you even more until you’re drowning in it.”

It doesn’t take long before she’s dancing on the precipice. The sound of her orgasm crashing over her is sweet music to my ears. Knowing I get to hear it for the rest of my life soothes me in a way nothing else ever has.

It’s like the tumblers on a safe finally falling into place.

When her body turns pliant, melting into the mattress, I press one last kiss against her pussy before making my way up her body. My mouth brushes against hers, sealing the moment with a kiss that communicates everything we don’t need to speak out loud.

Her eyes are heavy-lidded and her expression is blissed out. The sight of her contentment makes my heart swell.

“Feel good?”

“Incredible.” She smirks. “Although, I’m pretty sure you know that.”

“Maybe I just like hearing you say it,” I murmur, brushing my thumb along her cheek. “I always want to make you feel loved. Cherished.”

“You do, Laiken. More than I ever thought possible.”

When I roll onto my back, she lets out a small squeak as I carefully pull her on top of me until she can straddle my hips. Even though her pregnancy is still in the early stages, I keep every movement slow and controlled.

The last thing I want to do is hurt her.

Not now or ever.

I cradle her sides, keeping her steady beneath my hands. “Are you ready to feel me deep inside you?” I ask. “Filling you all the way up?”

Instead of responding, she shifts, maneuvering herself until her pussy slides over my hard length. The pleasure is so intense, I bite down on my lower lip to keep from groaning.

“I’m starting to think you enjoy teasing me.”

A knowing smile curves her lips. “Maybe.”

“Just remember,” I say, tightening my grip, “that I’m going to return the favor.”

She rolls her body again, sliding against me before leaning forward to brush her mouth across mine. “Did you ever consider,” she whispers, lips hovering long enough to make it torture, “that it’s exactly what I’m hoping for?”

The challenge in her tone only makes the heat coil tighter in my chest.

Just when I can’t take another moment, she angles her hips over my cock before sinking onto it. We both sigh as I slide into her.

It doesn’t take long for us to fall into an easy rhythm that feels instinctive, our bodies aligning without effort. Arousal builds all over again as I reach up, cupping her breasts, playing with her pretty little nipples. Even though it feels like I’m precariously close to tumbling off the edge, I hold back, needing to give her one more orgasm. Within minutes, she’s rocking her hips faster and throwing her head back. As soon as my name tears from her lips, I let go so we can come together. There’s nothing better than the feel of her cream coating my cock as my seed paints her womb.

Her lips curve into a satisfied smile as she collapses against me, molding herself to my body. She fits so naturally, it feels like she was made for me. Or maybe I’m the one who was made for her. After a moment, she moves closer, nestling her face into the crook of my neck.

I breathe her in, that familiar sweet scent wrapping around me. Her chest rises and falls steadily against mine, the rhythm soothing, lulling me into contentment. I hold her close, letting the quiet settle over us.

Kia traces idle patterns along my chest, her touch unhurried in a way that speaks to true comfort. The kind that comes from knowing you’re exactly where you’re meant to be. I press a kiss to her temple and then her hair before resting my cheek against the crown of her head.

I think about my little girl sleeping down the hall, and for the first time, my thoughts aren’t knotted with worry about what comes next. There’s only a calm certainty that Elody is safe. That she’s loved and surrounded by people who’ll continue showing up for her every single day.

This closeness and sense of belonging is exactly what was missing from my life.

Home.

Family.

A love I never thought could be mine.
