Early the next morning, Alek rolled over to kiss my naked shoulder. It was going to be another exhausting day of meetings, especially considering that neither of us had slept at all during the night. I groggily smiled at him as I thought about the way that we had spent the night making love. As soon as we had spoken about having a child, we had started practicing for when it was safe to actively make one, not that it would be any different. We never used protection or tried to prevent pregnancy. If I were honest, the thrill of feeling him inside of me with nothing on was almost more than I could bear,“I could get used to you being the first thing I see when I wake up every morning,” I murmured as I gently placed my fingers on his cheek.He chuckled before kissing my fingertips. “Just like I could get used to you being the last thing I see before I close mine.”“How long will it be before you are officially retired?” I asked.He tugged me onto his chest, wrapping his arm around my sho

Tawnie, it is!”She grabbed a bathrobe off the hook beside the door before rushing out of the apartment with me hot on her heels.“Storm, wait! Please! You shouldn’t do this! It’s going to ruin everything!
