MasukWe resumed walking, slower now, with my fingers laced through his. He mentioned the house and the nursery they'd finally finished painting in light red because I liked the colour. Besides, we didn't want to follow the normal blue for boys and pink for girls. Hell, I don't mind if my baby boy likes pink and my baby girl loves blue or even black. “The crib came yesterday,” he said. “I put it together myself. Took four hours and I only swore twice.”“I'm sure it's perfect.” I knew he was waiting for praise. That's my damned lover. He might act as if he didn't care for every little thing, but he liked it whenever I appreciated every damned little thing he did. Talking about cribs, he told me this last night before I went to sleep, so I already knew what would come next and how to respond to his questions. He didn't disappoint my expectations at all. “It's crooked. One side is higher than the other. But it's sturdy.” He grinned. “She'll never know.”“Of course, she won't,” I agreed. “Sh
LYLAHTwo Months LaterThe mirror is definitely lying. I can't prove it, but I know. I can't be the woman in this mirror. She looked so unlike me. My face was rounder, and my body was now bigger than it had ever been. The baby had dropped low, and every movement I made felt like I was having a damned freaking battle with the Grim Reaper. “You're beautiful,” Kielan said from the doorway, and I turned with a raised brow. “You can't be serious.”“Of course I am.” He smiled, looking at me with awe. His eyes were practically sparkling as he looked at me.“My feet look like something a frog spat on,” I muttered as I waddled toward him. “And I haven't seen my ankles in three weeks.” It was frustrating when I couldn't even do the basic things I used to do. Everything I did felt like a fucking damned chore. When I got to him, he knelt without hesitation. His hands were gentle as he slipped my swollen feet into the soft slippers he'd bought after I complained about the ones I was wearing pre
KIELANI didn't wait to be told twice. You could say I was addicted to her taste. I'd been between her thighs a hundred times before she carried my child, but now, she tasted different. It could be because she was fuller now. Her scent had deepened into something I couldn't name, something that made my mouth water before I even touched her.I helped her out of the cotton maternity undies she was wearing. Despite making it sound like she didn't want to do it, she was already wet; so fucking wet. I spread her open with my thumbs and stared at the pink folds before I lowered my mouth to my feast and dragged my tongue up through her slick folds in one long, slow taste.She gasped. That first taste, fuck. It was Sweet and salty and her. Her hips bucked, and I pressed her back down.“Fuck,” she breathed. I took my time. I dragged my tongue from her entrance to her clit, feeling every ridge and every flutter of her muscles. She was clenching desperately for contact, and I gave it to her.
LYLAHThe days that followed were the best. Kielan kept me on the bed most of the time, and I made sure I fed him. I had Jack employ a cook just so he wouldn't have to make his meals himself. I needed him fed enough so he would return to how he was before chemo. So far, there had been improvements. I hadn't seen his ribs for days now. Compared to how slim he looked when he returned from the hospital, he was getting healthier by the day.“What are you thinking of?” he asked the moment he stepped into the room.I was sitting on the bed, staring out the window while thinking of him.I grinned. “You.”“Of course, I already know that.” Smirking, he closed the distance between us, got on the bed and placed his head on my thighs. He placed his hands on his chest and closed his eyes.I rubbed the hair on his head. It was growing, even though it wasn't at a faster pace. In a month or two, it would be full enough for me to tug on them without—Wait a damned minute. In two months, I won't be thi
“Faster,” she breathed. “Please, Kielan, faster.”I gave it to her faster. “I'm close,” she gasped. “Don't stop, don't please — “I didn't. I kept moving and thrusting with my eyes fixed on hers, and when she came, it was like watching something break open, something beautiful and raw and utterly hers. Her body arched, her cry filled the room, and her pussy clenched around my dick. The wave of the pull dragged me under, and I came with her, my release buried deep inside her, my mouth finding hers, my arms wrapping around her and holding her as I'd never let go.We stayed like that for a long moment. Breathing, shaking, and holding each other. Her fingers traced patterns on my back, and I pressed my face into her neck, smelling her.After a while, she shifted. “You're heavy,” she said, but she was smiling. She tightened her arms around me and didn't let go for some seconds.I pulled out slowly and rolled to the side, gathering her against me with her back to my chest, and my hand on h
We both had a bath after resting. We didn't talk, but we kept touching each other as if we couldn't get enough of one another. Lylah was more touchy than she had ever been. When we got back to the bed, I thought she would let me rest, but she raised a brow. “Don't tell me you're done?”I frowned at the question. “Why?”She glared. “Who was the man who promised not to let me out of the bed until he's finished with me?”I smiled. “What did I just train?”“A sex-crazed monster.” She grinned. “Besides, I've been lonely since you were admitted. Don't you think you should reward me for being the best lover any man could ever ask for?” She lifted a brow. “So, you're not sore?”She shook his head. I smirked at that. “Don't complain tomorrow.”She made a face. “That's if you know how to work your dick.” She looked down at my body. “It's hard already. Just use it well, and I'll be happy.”“Who am I to refuse my beautiful lover?”“It better be worth it.” “Don't dare me.” She grinned. “What
I yelped when he dragged me away from Sam, pushing me back before I heard a snap of bone. Eyes wide, I screamed, scrambling to my feet. Kielan's eyes blazed with fury, his face twisted in a snarl as he loomed over Sam. I felt a shiver run down my spine, and my heart raced. I positioned myself betwe
LYLAH After wiping the blood off his palm and applying ointment, I placed a bandage on the wound. I didn't ask why he had a first aid box lying around. After taking care of him, I returned to the bed and covered myself up with the blanket. I felt the bed dip as he joined me. “I'm sorry I woke yo
LYLAHFrom the moment he stepped out to take that call outside, I knew something was up. Why else would that bitch call him so late at night when she knew he might probably be asleep? I paced the floors, occasionally stopping to look at the window. I didn't want to step out to the balcony so it wo
LYLAH I need to leave. That was all I thought about when he left me in the car. I knew the doors were unlocked and that I could run away, but I couldn't bring myself to do that. Why did he leave the doors open? Is this a trap? What if it's a sick game of his? To chase me? I could still recall tha
