She bit her lower lip as tears welled in her eyes. “If I don’t get to Christian soon the window of my fertility may close, Sevan. I can’t let that happen, and I sure as the hell cannot allow you to father a child with me only to leave. In the end it will be Christian who raises the child, so it should be he who fathers it,” she said, whispering the last part so softly, Sevan knew she didn’t believe her own words. She wanted him but had been conditioned to believe that if the time came, she should run to another.

Growling, Sevan pulled at Lorelei’s vest, freeing her ample breasts to him. He cupped one harder than he should have but he didn’t care. She needed to hear him. “Lorelei, I am not going anywhere. I’ve spent six months thinking I was going mad. Thinking I was in love with a dream. Now that I’ve found you, I’m never letting you go. If you decide that here is where you want to be, then here is where I’ll stay. No man but me will raise my child, and trust me when I say it will be my child that grows in you.”

“Sevan,” she whispered, raking her fingernails over his skin, sending his cock into duress. It needed in her soon. “It’s too deadly here for you.”

“Do you want me to go? Do you want to push me out of your life?”

“No.”

Exhaling, Sevan rolled her nipple between his thumb and first finger. “I’m not going anywhere, baby. When the ship is fixed, Jordan can take over.”

“You’d say goodbye to your brother so easily?”

He shook his head. “It won’t be easy, but I can’t leave my mate behind. I can’t. Especially not since she’ll be carrying my child in her very soon.” Dipping his head down, he captured her nipple with his mouth and moaned.
