Page 38 of Mate Match: Curtis & Jae
I felt vindicated at her words. While I understood Jae’s concerns, I had an outsider’s perspective. These weren’t bad people, just cautious and trapped by tradition.
“We’ve got time until the baby comes to work it all out. I’d be grateful for your help.”
“So would I,” Jae said from the doorway, a loving smile on his face. “Thanks, Mom. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you sooner, about the baby and the book.”
I didn’t hear the words Haneul said to her son when she embraced him. All I knew was the look of relief on Jae’s face was worth it all.
Seventeen
Jae
Nowthatwe’dpassedthe twenty-week line, I had a sweet bump and more of my energy back. Pregnancy agreed with me, apparently. My skin was glowing. I felt happy all the time, and the movement of our little bean? Adorable. Sure, I was told that would change when they decided to use my bladder as a football, but I was enjoying it for now.
One thing I really liked was the return of my libido because it had abated some after twelve weeks. Wanting sex more often was something I liked to take advantage of in the early mornings with my man. It was our time to spend together before the day got busy and life intruded.
I snuggled deeper into his arms, brushing my ass against his groin. Curtis muttered something sleepily, pulling me tighter against him. He pressed a kiss on the scent gland on my neck. One where I hoped to have a mating bite in the future. Only from Curtis, though. He was it for me.
My cock hardened in my briefs. I wriggled again, feeling a hardening in the cleft of my ass.
“You starting something, baby?” Curtis sounded more alert. He nipped at my gland this time, following it with another kiss.
I moaned, feeling slick leaking. “Yeah. I need you.”
“How bad?”
“Really bad!”
“Bad enough to ignore morning breath?”
I couldn’t help my laugh. “Absolutely. Give me your knot. Please, I need it.”
He turned me, so I was laid on my back, making it easy to kiss me. The kiss was deep and hungry. Even after months of living together, we still had this need for each other.
I was too impatient for his cock to wait. Pulling at his briefs, I slid them over the curve of his ass and pulled him into me.
“Now!” I demanded.
Curtis chuckled, but complied. He helped me get undressed and turned me onto my side.
The recent horny spell meant we were having a lot of sex, so I didn’t need much prep. He slid inside with a groan. He nipped at my scent gland again as he thrust.
Over and over, he nipped and licked at my shoulder and neck, probably leaving marks as he moved inside me. This position was perfect for feeling every damn inch of his dick.
He reached around me to smooth a hand over my belly before he bit my ear. “Love you.”
Even though I’d heard the words before, so many times, they were special to me. “Love you, too.”
His hand wrapped around my cock, stroking me in time to his thrusts. I came before him and then again when his knot stretched my hole.
I luxuriated in the scent of his pheromones, the feel of his arms around me and being pleasantly full of Curtis.
For a while, I dozed, until his knot shrank and the needs of my bladder pulled me from his arms.
Best way to start the day!
The office set-up Curtis had worked out for me was amazing. The chair he had researched was super comfortable and he’d ensured I had the best light for drawing. Most of my commissions were up to date. I’d have to go into the office later in the week to go over a contract in person, but otherwise my day was clear to work on my stuff. I’d sent the final draft of my book away. Soon it would be printed!
I’d just had a snack and was working on a character concept when I got a call from Brady, because he worked for the publisher I was contracted to, I assumed it was a business call. They were considering taking my graphic novel on, another long forgotten project from before Curtis came along.
