I grinned and let out a whoop. Then I was on my feet, pulling him up and into my arms as I swung him around. I kissed him soundly once I had him safely on the floor. His arms went around my neck.
“We’re going to be dads!” I shouted.
My family all looked our way. It was quiet for a moment as the words registered, then they joined in the celebration, offering their congratulations and well-wishes.
“I love you so much,” I said.
“I love you, too.” Jaq’s smile lit up the room, and I lost myself in it for a moment. This man was all mine now. He was the light of my life, and I couldn’t wait to spend the rest of my life with him.
“Sorry.” I realized that he may have wanted to keep that news to ourselves for a while, yet here I was spilling the beans. “I’m just so excited.”
He laughed. “I am too. It’s okay. I’m glad everyone is here to hear it from us.”
After dinner, I took my husband’s hand and led him toward my room. We’d talked about our living situation in the past few weeks. We’d decided to remain in the palace for now. I knew of the estate that came with his title. Perhaps that would be a great place to spend our summers. Someplace quiet and out of the public eye.
For now, I knew Jaq’s work was important to him. He loved being a part of his nephews’ lives, and he would continue as their nanny for as long as he could.
Once we were behind closed doors, I shucked off my jacket and tossed it over the back of a chair.
I pulled him close to me and buried my nose into his neck. His scent was sweeter than normal. I breathed it in. “I just want to hold you forever,” I said.
He chuckled. “Pretty sure we just made vows promising to do that.”
“We did, didn’t we? There is no escaping me now, my love.” I pressed a kiss to his lips, and my hands went to his hips. I tugged at his shirt until it was untucked from his pants. My knuckles brushed over the warm skin of his abdomen.
“Good thing I don’t want to escape.”
He began to unbutton his shirt, but I grew impatient. I gripped both sides of the collar and yanked. Buttons popped and flew in every direction.
Jaq gasped. “Erich!”
“It was the most efficient way.”
He was exquisite with his smooth skin on display. The light dusting of dark hair that trailed from his belly button beckonedme. I wanted to lick every inch of him. But mostly right then, I wanted his cock in my mouth.
“The most wasteful way! How are we going to explain this?”
I kissed his neck, letting my lips ghost over his skin, down his neck and over his chest. He moaned, concerns for his ruined clothes forgotten.
I dropped to my knees and opened his pants the rest of the way. His hard cock strained against his tight briefs. I nuzzled against it and his hips bucked.
“Erich.” My name was like a command on his lips, and I wouldn’t disappoint him.
He must have grown impatient with me, because he pushed his briefs out of the way and pulled his cock out. I wasted no time in wrapping my lips around his length. I used my tongue to tease the underside of his cock.
His hands went to my hair, his fingertips digging into my scalp. He guided my head, moving me just as he wanted, and I let him. I’d given Jaq head countless times over the years, and he was particular about what he liked, and I loved that he wasn’t afraid to ask for what he wanted. His hips thrust, and I opened my mouth, letting him fuck my face in whatever way he wanted. He moaned loudly, and I hummed.
“Fuck, Erich!”
The way his hips jerked told me he was coming soon, and I readied myself for his sweet essence. Then he was coming, his spunk filling my mouth. I swallowed it all down.
Jaq tugged at my hair, and I scrambled to my feet. His lips locked on mine, and he moaned when he tasted himself on my tongue.
“I was hoping that would last a little longer.”
“We have all night,” I said. “Plus, we leave tomorrow for a long, private honeymoon where we’ll be alone. No royal duties. Just us.”
“That sounds amazing, Husband.”
