“I don’t think so.”
I smiled. “Either way…everything will be different. I’ll look different.”
“Right. Sexier.” His hand slid down the side of my neck. “Since you look sexier every day.”
“You’re incorrigible. You know what I mean, James. Stretch marks.”
“You don’t have any yet.”
I shook my head. “He’s barely a bump. I’m sure I’ll get them.”
“And I’m sure I’ll love them.” His hand wandered down, past my breasts, to rest on my stomach. “They’ll remind me about the gift you’re about to give me.”
It was the perfect thing to say. But I didn’t really believe him. “They’ll be ugly.”
“No. They won’t.”
I exhaled slowly. “Some women’s feet grow.”
“That’s okay. Your feet are too small if anything.”
I laughed. He just wasn’t getting it. “I’ll have leaky boobs.”
“Leaky boobs?” He put his hands on my breasts. “I don’t think that sounds right. Because I’ve been doing some research and I’ve read they get even bigger.”
I laughed.
“And that the milk is rather sweet. I’m kind of excited to try that.”
I laughed harder. “No, that’s so weird.”
“Is it?” He pulled down the front of my tank top. I refused to wear a bra while I was writing. I needed to be comfortable in order to work. So when he pulled down my tank top, there was nothing to hide my exposed breasts. “You don’t seem to mind when I suck on them now.” His lips fell to my nipple. But instead of being gentle, he bit down and tugged.
Jesus.It was like the action had a direct line to my clit.
He slowly swirled his tongue around my nipple.
“James.” I was trying to get his attention, but his name was more of a moan. I couldn’t help it. His mouth was magical.
He shifted forward, letting us fall to the couch. He was careful to catch himself so that he wouldn’t smush me. Although, I waspretty sure he was more worried about smushing our unborn child. I loved when he was rough with me, and I could already see him being more tentative. Things were already changing.
He tilted his hips, pressing his erection against me.
I desperately wanted to just rip his clothes off. But I had something important to say. I put my hand on his chest before he went any further. “Wait, this is important. What I was trying to say was that we should really make every moment special before the baby is born. Especially the holidays. All the holidays should be extra sexy. Really, all our days should just be riddled with sex. Five months of crazy seduction. Before my body is ruined.”
He smiled down at me.
God I loved that smile. I’m pretty sure my heart still skipped a beat whenever he flashed his smile at me. I hoped it never stopped. “Does that sound good?”
“Are you seriously asking me if I want all holidays and all days to be extra sexy? Because that’s a ridiculous question. Of course my answer is yes. I’ll take your five months of seduction. But I raise you a lifetime of it.” He leaned forward, placing a gentle kiss against my lips. “Because your body is not going to be ruined.”
“What if it is?” I knew James loved me with all his heart. I knew that. And yet…I was a lot younger than him. He fell in love with me in part because of the way I looked. Yes, we were perfect for each other. But our sexual tension is what started everything. Hence the three sex scenes in my book so far.
“I will love you always and forever. Even when we’re both old and gray.”
“You’ll be old and gray a lot sooner than me.”
“Very funny.” His fingers found the waistband of my sweatpants. “I should punish you for that comment.”
