Slowly, she runs her hands over her stomach and reaches for the straining hem, playfully drawing it up and over the swell of her. Then she crosses her arms and tugs the shirt over her head, dropping it to the floor. Her breasts are so swollen, they press against the confines of her bra, causing cleavage to spill over the edge.

My gaze roams from those large breasts to her even larger stomach, and I press my palm to her tight skin, running it up over the giant bump.

“You’re so beautiful, Neve. You simply take my breath away.”

Her cheeks flush and she tilts her head, like she doesn’t exactly believe me, but she doesn’t fight the compliment either.

“Last turn,” I say, gently spinning her in front of me, spreading my hands wide so I can feel as much of her skin as I can. I tug her hips, pulling her flush against me. The hard length in my boxer briefs strains to get at her. When her back hits my chest, a sizzle runs over my flesh.

“I can’t concentrate like this,” she says, her voice tight.

I gently rock forward, tapping her backside with my front.

“Better make it count,” I state, ignoring her lack of focus.

This woman makes me lose sight of everything else.

She lets her dart fly. It hits the board and should stick, but instead it pings off the cork and lands with a thud on the floor.

I hang my head, almost as disappointed as she is.

“Can my favor be that you remove those briefs?”

With my hands on her hip, I lean around her. “Only if you want it to be. Choose wisely, though.”

She bites her lip again and shakes her head.

I wrap my arm around her upper chest and take aim over her shoulder. It doesn’t matter to me if I hit that board one last time, I’m getting both of us out of our clothes and into my bed.

Still, the dart hits the mark right next to hers. A bull’s-eye and a favor.

Neve slowly turns to face me again, waiting for my command with a pouty lip.

“Gonna promise you that neither of us are losers in this game.”

Her mouth slowly curls.

“Now lose your bra. And my request is, let’s head to my bedroom.”

CHAPTER 26

[Neve]

Ireach around my back to unlatch my bra. The doctor recommended I start wearing the nursing one to get comfortable with the fit. It’s the least sexy article of clothing I own. And when I struggle to reach behind me, Tate slides his hand up my back and pinches the material, instantly releasing the clasps.

The bra falls forward, and I shake my arms to free it.

Then I stand there. Engorged breasts. Swollen belly. Naked. Bare as I’ve ever been.

Only the slip of underwear that cuts into my hips, buried beneath my stomach, remains.

Tate steps back, staring at all of me, and there’s a lot to see. He admires my breasts, which pebble tighter under the heat of his gaze.

But the real shiver comes from the way Tate takes his time to glide his gaze over my round belly. The stretched skin. The pop of my belly button. His expression reads like he truly hasn’t ever seen something so marvelous, so wonderful, so beautiful.

“Seeing you with my baby inside you might be the sexiest thing I’ve ever seen.” He says it with so much reverence and awe, I can’t argue with him.

My doubts before we started the game came from comparison I rarely feel. I couldn’t shake how different Lisa and I looked. How different I’m certain we are in temperament and personality. And since Tate and I were first drawn together by attraction, I questioned how attracted he might still be to me. As I am. In this state.
