“Now’s as good a time as any to get some.” He’s undoing his jeans and lifting his hips to push them down with his underwear. He doesn’t get them all the way down his legs. I help him drag them off over his feet—they’re not nearly as easy to pull off as thesoft fabric of his palace clothes—and when he’s yanked his shirt off over his head, he’s as naked as I am.

It’s weird, seeing him naked like this somewhere other than our room at the palace. Being naked in the open air.

When I shoot a quick glance toward the house, Gabriel interprets it correctly. “We can hear the gravel crunching from here. We’ll know if they come home early in time to put our clothes back on. But I promise they’re not coming back for hours.”

My brief nerves relax immediately at the gentle assurance on his face. With a smile, I swing my leg over his body so I’m straddling his thighs.

He gazes up at me. Adoring. But instead of making a move, he says, “Can we talk about one more thing?”

“Of course.”

He licks his lips in a very slight show of nerves. “Do you want to have a baby with me, Jess?”

“What? Of course I do! I’ve told you before?—”

“You’ve mentioned having a family before, but what you’ve actually said to me clearly is that it was up to me. It’s my decision. And it’s not. That’s not what I want. I do want to have babies with you. I want a family. But I only want it if it’s truly what you want too. Foryou. Not because you’re trying to please me.”

I rock with feeling for a few moments before I can contain it. “I do want it.”

“For you?”

“For me. I never thought about it much before because I was so fixed on being a partner. And life as a partner isn’t… isn’t domestic. But now that things are different, I can really… see it. Imagine it. And I want it. I want that life with you so much.”

His face twists briefly. His chest rises and falls with a shuddering exhale. “Okay. Because I want it too.”

We smile at each other for a minute until his gaze grows hot again. He lifts his hands to cup my breasts and then teases my nipples with his thumb.

I’m already turned on from the extended kiss, so it takes almost no time for the momentum of my arousal to return. Soon I’m lifting myself up on my knees while he holds his cock in place. He helps to ease me down so I’m sheathing him.

I gasp, make a few whimpering sounds as my pussy adjusts around the penetration. Then Gabriel holds my hips while I start to ride him.

It feels so good. So free that it’s almost disorienting. I re-angle a few times until I find one that feels best, and I rock over him with the rhythm my body demands.

He pumps his hips up as I move above him, and his eyes never look away, shifting from my face to my jiggling breasts to the place where his cock is moving in and out of me.

It’s a heady feeling that he’s so into this. That he loves me so much. That I can see it so clearly.

It’s a gift and a joy and a deep responsibility that he wants and needs and loves me with everything inside him. The emotions are so powerful they briefly distract me from my rising orgasm, but Gabriel is growing more urgent. He’s gripping my hips, guiding my motion.

A responding need takes fire inside me. I make a loud, helpless sound as I ride him faster and harder. He’s fucking me vigorously from below and grunting with a base carnality that thrills me.

“Fuck, baby,” he mutters. “I’m going to lose it soon. Can you come?”

“Yes. Yes. Yes. I’m trying.” My words burst out choppily with the tempo of my bouncing. If he weren’t holding me in place, his cock would have slipped right out of my pussy from my eager motion.

“Jess. Baby.” His neck arches dramatically, and he lets out a long, low moan. His hips jerk, starting to fall out of rhythm.

I move one hand so I can rub my pussy, and the extra stimulation pushes me right over the edge. I cry out as the rush of pleasure surges through me. Shake and shudder above him.

Gabriel lets go just after me. His body rocks like a wave as he falls into release. He’s groaning and holding me down on his cock as we quake through the last of the spasms. He ejaculated inside me, and I feel his semen filling my pussy.

I’m about to fall down on top of him when he mutters, “Hold on, baby.” Then he grabs me and rolls me over onto my back, moving with me so he’s on top now. He bends my knees on either side of his hips and then supports himself on his forearms.

His face is close to mine. He’s smiling down on me.

“What was that about?” I ask, blinking up at him in fond confusion.

“That was so everything didn’t leak out of you. You do still want to have a baby, right?”
