He pursed his lips and brought them to mine, kissing me softly, tapping, turning me on. He pulled away, “Why the hell are you walking around the house dressed like this? Someone might like it…” He jarred, teasingly.

With my hand on his chest. “Only you, my love. Speaking of which, I have something to tell you and it worries me greatly,” I said as I looked deep into his eyes.

He rubbed his thumb over my delicate pouting lips.

“No secrets, we have talked about this.”

Taking his hand that was caressing my face and dropped it down, sensually, and slowly down my body. I had no idea what his reaction would be and personally, he didn’t have much choice. His hand was now on my abdomen, his eyes glued to me. He cocked his head to the side as I held his hand rubbing the area, he furrowed his brows and his stare turned intense.

“Princess…” his words were soft and elegant.

“Yes?”

“Are we going to have mini us?”

I smiled. A large grin took over his beautiful face. It was that second that he picked me up and spun me around.

“Oh, my goodness, we’re having a baby!”

“We sure are,” I cried in delight.

He lowered me down and pressed his lips firmly to mine, kissing in fleets before moving all around my face and down to my chest.

“Oh my, this is amazing. I. Am. Super. Excited,” he said between kisses.

Tears ran down my cheeks pleased his reaction was the way it was.

“This means you need extra protection. Extra love.”

“Seriously? I get enough.”

He stepped backwards to gawp at me with horror.

“Shit, we need to move the wedding forward, we need to be married before this little one arrives,” he said and without hesitation, he rushed to his desk and picked up his phone. “Call an urgent meeting, we have to bring the wedding forward.” He slammed the phone down, the person didn’t have time to even answer him.

Moving towards him, smiling, speechless at his behaviour.

“Oh, I almost forgot, I have a gift for you. Well, I should give it now before I take you over the desk and I want everyone in the house and estate to hear you.”

Quirking my brows. There was no stopping this man.

He reached into the draw and pulled out a wrapped gift with bows and ribbon. He passed it to me as he wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me onto his lap. I sat and wiggled to get comfortable, with his hand resting on my tummy. I smiled, so pleased he was as excited as I am about the soon-to-be new arrival to the Conti’s.

I began to unwrap the gift, all I seemed to be getting these days were gifts from him if it wasn’t bunches of flowers, clothes, sexy underwear, a baby and now this. I have to say I am so pleased he allows me to go and see my parents once a week, it fills my heart with desire. Of course, I must be escorted, but that doesn’t bother me. Mamma has a new headstone and I’ve managed to contact Paul’s family, I have a large family, as he had a sister and two brothers, both his parents are alive and what made it more remarkable is they were told about me. Paul, my papa, had told them I existed, and they waited for me to knock on the door. I have a family, a loving, caring family who I talk to daily.

Spending along time at their graves and tell them all the wonderful things Antonio was doing. Now I had special news for them that they were going to be grandparents.

I carried on unravelling the gift, smiling, aware I would love it.

It was a photo frame. I spun it over to find a picture of my mamma and papa together. I held my hand across my mouth and heaved my breath as tears welled in the corners of my eyes.

“Oh my God Antonio,” I sobbed, I turned slightly placing my hands around his neck and hugging him delightfully.

“It’s fine. I am so pleased you like it, now they can be at our wedding, and I had arranged a large painting of them for wherever you wish them to be,” he told me.

Kissing him all over his face, there wasn’t enough I couldn’t do for this man. He was my heart and soul and never having him by my side, would kill me.

“How?” I asked.
