I shove the empty bed away and mold myself to her body, gently devouring her mouth.
She returns the kiss and wraps her hands in my hair, then pulls back, her irises shining with an inner glow. “The baby’s kicking. Do you want to feel it?”
“I’d like nothing more in the entire universe.”
As she guides my hand to the exact spot he pummels, I close my eyes and pull her closer.
Thank you, whether you helped or not, whether you’re real or not, thank you.
