“Ineedyou, Luka.”
The.Best.Word.Sheneededme.Well, there were three I was desperate to hear from her lips, but Millie needing me was pretty good.
I smiled against her neck before I gently bit at her pulse then laved the sore spot with my tongue.Millie whimpered my name.I growled hers as I slid my hand down her back and gripped her ass in my hands.Millie had one of the best butts I’d ever seen.It was round and firm from her jiu jitsu but lush enough to bounce when she walked.I had a mighty big thing for her butt.I ground my pelvis against her belly to get some much-needed friction.
But then I stopped, my eyes wide as a thought crossed my mind.“Will Bree know?”
“That you’re rubbing your dick on my belly?”Millie’s eyebrows shot up.“No.She won’t.People have sex all the time while pregnant, Luka.”
“I don’t want to traumatize our kid…”
“You’re traumatizingmeright now,” Mille snapped.“I haven’t had sex since that night with you, and before that, I’d never had an orgasm with a man.Let me tell you, penis-stimulated orgasms are the best.I want one.Now.”
I bit back a laugh, struck by the humor and worry of this situation.“I’m not sure I can do it.”
Millie growled.“No.Sex.In.Eight.Months.”
“I know.”I nodded.“It’s been quite a dry spell.”
“Wait, wait…hold up.Are you telling me you didn’t sleep with another woman?”She gaped at me.
I stepped away from her, offended.“No.”
Her eyes widened so much I worried they’d bug out of her head.“You…”
“I was faithful to the woman I wanted,” I clipped.“Who wouldn’t give me a fucking chance.”
“Luka.”She breathed my name like a prayer.“Really?”
Anger sizzled over my skin and through my veins.“Why is it so damn hard to believe I could be devoted to you?”I turned away, only stopping at the sting of her nails against the flesh of my forearms and the wild look in her eyes.
“B-b-because you’rebeautiful,” she said.Her voice was raw, a little shaky—as if the answers were yanked from her very soul.I stilled, barely breathing, desperate for her next words.
“You’re fun, funny.You really listen, not just pretend to.You put me at ease with a smile.And you’re so damn sexy.And…and you make me come harder than I thought possible.I saw stars last time.”
My dick and my ego rose to the metaphorical stroking.
Millie
So many wordshad exited my mouth.Words I hadn’t been able to control or keep inside.My cheeks burned, my throat ached, and my body thrummed with awareness.
Wanting Luka the way I had—did—left me slightly crazed.He was everything I dreamed of in a man, but always outside my reach thanks to my sheltered upbringing, my innate shyness, my issues with Trent.
His eyes smoldered as he heaved a breath, then another one.“We’re connected already, you and I, forever.”He laid his hands on my belly.I bit my lip as I nodded.
“But this is more than our love for our daughter—you understand that now?”He eased closer to me, his big body sheltering mine.
With Luka, Ialwaysfelt safe.Now wanted.Maybe one day loved.
I licked my lips, noting his eyes tracking my movement.My breath stilled, my heart pumping.“Luka.Please.”
I wasn’t sure, exactly, what I was begging him for—to ease the tension between us, to show me he cared, asking him to take me, flaws and all, and hold me forever.
“I got you, Millie.”His eyes sparkled.I loved how he brought us back around to our first meeting.His hands flexed on my belly and slid upward to cup my breasts.I whimpered as I pressed more firmly into his hold.
“We got this, together.”He bent his knees, bringing his face closer to my level.His gaze searched mine, eyes filled with emotions I couldn’t process.“You and me and Bree.We’re a team.The most important team.”
He flicked his thumbs over my nipples, and my knees turned to water.I didn’t worry, though.Luka would hold me up, keep me safe.That’s what he was promising right now, and I desperately wanted to hand him control—not just of my body but of the craziness that was my life.
