He pulled her into his lap, her legs wrapped around his as he kissed her neck. "You have no idea how happy I am right now." He smiled as he spoke, unable to hide his excitement.

She smiled at him, her eyes looked at him with newfound happiness. A happiness he always wanted to see in her. He didn't want to see her looking distraught as he had so many times before. "I imagine very."

He smiled at her, nodding his head. "Over the moon." He kissed her once more and held her against his chest. He cradled there for a moment as she relaxed in his arms. He wondered if she felt safe with him. He hoped she did. That was all he wanted.

"We will lay low for a few days. Let this mess settle before we see what to do in the future." He rubbed circles on her back, and she hummed in his ear.

"And during the meantime?" She asked gently as her fingers fumbled with a button on his shirt.

"Rest." He chuckled at her, "You need it. After the past few days, you've had I'm sure you're exhausted."

She kissed his neck and smiled. "You do realize that women get very horny during pregnancy, right?"

This was news to him. He really should have thought about this stuff before all of this. He didn't knock jack shit when it came to pregnant women.

"Is that so?"

"Yes, very horny." She smirked against his neck, "And it would be mean of you to refuse me something I want."

He chuckled once more, he was still rubbing circles over her back. He liked the sound of whatever she was implying. "Whatever your wish is, it's my command."

She leaned away, looking into his eyes. She smiled at him, with happiness sparkling in her eyes. He loved it and never wanted it to go away. He would give her anything to keep it there.

He kissed her and pulled a hand up to cradle her neck. She wrapped her arms around his, and she pressed against him. He liked the closeness, having her in his arms like this.

He could feel himself growing hard and his dragon wanted out. He tried to hold him back, not wanting a repeat of last time. As great as the sex was, he wanted to talk to Gretchen. He wanted to know her on an entirely new level.

He reached for a button on his shirt and undid it. "So, tell me, what else about pregnancy do I need to know?"

She watched his hands, her lips curled into a smirk. "Well, you're going to have to help me put my shoes on. Pick up items I drop. Probably dress me too."

He smirked as he undid another button. "Undress as well?"

"Well, considering I may want it all the time, yes." He loved to see her confidence in herself. He wanted to build her up in every possible way he could.

"Alrighty, you still have yet to tell me where you grew up."

She tilted her head, "You wanna talk during this?"

He undid the last button and pulling his shirt off. "Oh, yes." He pulled her down onto the bed as he threw his shirt onto the floor. "I'm going to know you inside and out by the time we are done."

Gretchen blushed as he reached for the hem of her shirt. "Alrighty, I grew up in Seattle before I moved here when I was nineteen. My parents still reside there happily married. I have yet to know how they will feel about a grandchild."

He slid his hands up her stomach and relished the way she shivered under his touch. He watched as her breath hitched as his fingers grazed her skin.

"You haven't told your parents?" He pulled her shirt farther up before he pulled it up and over her head.

She gave him a side glare, "I haven't had much time to tell them."

"Fair." He threw her shirt over his shoulder and took in her body. She was wearing a white bra, one from the closet, and she watched him. He bent down, kissing her stomach, and smiled, "Tell me about your mother."

"My mother is a nurse, has been for twenty years." He kissed her stomach again and made her freeze for a moment. Her breath hitched, "My dad is a fireman. He coaches soccer for the high schools on the side."

"Is he how you got into soccer?" He slipped his band back behind her and unsnapped her bra. It released, and he slid a hand up and cupped her breast.

Gretchen gasped under his touch, her eyes filling with lust. She nodded her head, "Yes." She bit onto her lower lip and closed her eyes for a moment.

He smiled, kissed up to her breast before he flicked his tongue on a nipple. Gretchen squirmed, and he bit onto her breast. He loved the sounds she made and the moans that came out of her.
