“You have the most adorable baby bump. Seriously. You look just like…”
“The picture of Isla when she was pregnant with Mason,” they said in unison, laughing.
“Exactly,” Alexis grinned up at her. “Let me know if something doesn’t feel good, or you need more or less of something, okay?”
“You know my body.”
“Indeed, I do.”
And indeed Alexis did. She wasted little time teasing Blake and instead went in for what she knew Blake liked. Even with the pregnancy hormones coursing through her body, having Alexis’s fingers inside her felt amazing to Blake. With each thrust of her fingers, Blake could feel her body coming undone. There was no way in hell she’d ever wait months to have sex with her wife again.
Alexis knew Blake’s body better than she knew her own. She knew what Blake liked and needed before Blake ever said anything. Which was why Blake wasn’t surprised when Alexis began sucking on her clit.
“Lex,” Blake moaned as her back arched off the bed. It had been so long since her last orgasm that Blake’s body seemed to be on heightened edge. Each flick of Alexis’s fingers or tongues made her moan. Sometimes so loud she worried she would wake the kids.
“Babe, you’ve never been this loud before,” Alexis smirked up over Blake’s belly. “I love it.”
“Your hands are magic.”
“I love a good compliment.” Alexis’s fingertips still grazed Blake’s wet center, and she knew exactly what thatmeant. She was waiting for Blake to get ready for round two. “Let me know when you’re ready.”
“I’m ready.” Blake didn’t hesitate, though she was still breathless from the first orgasm.
“You want a strap?”
Blake set up on her elbows. “Can we do that?”
“Yeah.” She sheepishly grinned up at Blake. “I asked Mason before you got pregnant because I know how much you like it.”
“I love you so much.”
She watched as Alexis hopped off the bed and slipped on Blake’s favorite strap-on. Her center pulsed in anticipation as Alexis got back into position, however painstakingly slow. It had taken them some practice to get used to the strap-on, but once they mastered it, there was no stopping them. By the time Blake orgasmed again, her entire body was exhausted. Alexis dramatically flopped down beside her after taking the strap off.
“Wow.”
“Right.”
“You’re amazing.”
“Your body is so responsive right now.” Her finger drew invisible circles on Blake’s breast as she talked. “It’s so sexy.”
“If you hadn’t worn me out, I would repay the favor, but I’m exhausted.” Putting her hand on her belly, Blake rolled over toward Alexis. Alexis scooted closer to her, pressing her belly into Blake’s. “What are you doing?”
“I remember Emily and Callie talking about doing this. Callie could feel Finley that way. I was just wondering if it would work for us.”
As they lay beside each other, Blake couldn’t get over how beautiful Alexis looked in the post sex glow. She looked so at peace, so happy. Blake started to scold herself for making the last few months so hard on everyone out of her own selfish anger, but instead, she decided to let it go.
Today was going to be the first day of her future. A future that didn’t involve dwelling on the pain of the past. She wouldn’t forget the past; it would always be a part of her. But it was time for Blake to move forward with her amazing family. Not just Alexis and their kids, but Isla and Vera as well. And all of Blake’s siblings, especially Mason. It was time she let herself be fully embraced by the Mackenzie’s, even if they didn’t share that last name.
Alexis tenderly caressed her face, and she smiled at her. “What’s on your mind?”
“Just thinking about what it would be like to be a Mackenzie.”
“Youarea Mackenzie.”
“No, I mean,” Blake squeezed her eyes shut as she tried to explain her thoughts to Alexis, “I’d like to have the last name Mackenzie.”
As she watched Alexis prop herself up on her elbow, Blake thought she’d crossed a line. Why had she ever said that when she’d taken Alexis’s name after they were married? Blake had taken Holland as her last name because that was Harper’s last name. It made the most sense to Blake to change her name to match the other two people in her family.
