“Perfect. Now tell me everything. Don’t mince your words.” Liv sets up her phone to record him, and we all fall silent as she forces him to talk through his and Callie’s story.
Her Hail Mary.

“Are you going to be able to sleep?” I whisper, brushing my fingers through her hair, massaging her scalp. It’s been a long-ass day, and we have to be up in three hours to get ready to be back in court.
She grilled Nathan for hours and then spent another couple of hours preparing her questions for his testimony.
She’s a heap of exhaustion in my arms, and reluctantly sharing my bed in the bunkhouse. She’d rather be at home, and I would rather have her all to myself. But it’s safer here when we’re exhausted, and she’s doing everything she can to focus on tomorrow’s trial.
“I’m so tired, but my brain is wired. I’ll blink, and the alarm will be going off.” She sighs, snuggling into my chest. “I already feel like I’ve blinked and my entire life has passed by.”
“What do you mean?”
“I was supposed to be settled by now. Starting a family. Thea and I were going to have babies at the same time, but I called off my wedding. Now she’s having another baby without me.”
“Did you tell Thea how you were feeling?”
“No, but I don’t think I need to. I think that’s why she waited to tell me,” she admits solemnly.
“Waited? She’s still pretty early along.”
“Yeah, but with Kate, she sent me a picture of her pregnancy test while the pee was still wet,” she giggles at the memory.
“So, how soon until you can send that type of picture back to her?”
“What do you mean?”
“If we start right now.”
Her body stiffens, and then she whips her head back to look me in the face. “That’s not funny.”
“I’m not trying to be funny.”
“You would want a baby right now?”
“Olive, I would do anything you wanted. If you had called me up after ten years and asked for my sperm to create your own laboratory baby, I would have done it. I’d probably counteroffer doing it the old-fashioned way so that I could feel your pussy wrapped around my cock just once… But I would have done it all the same.”
“You’re insane.”
“Yeah, but you like me that way.”
A slow smile stretches her cheeks. “Yeah, I guess you’re right.”
She hooks her leg over my hip, pulling her body on top of mine until the covers fall away. “So, if I sit on your cock right now and beg you to give me a baby?”
I tip the band of my boxers down, fisting my hard shaft and positioning it exactly where she needs it. “It’d be the easiest answer of my life.”
A soft gasp escapes her as she shifts her hips to line up over my crown. She’s naked under my t-shirt, and the warmth of her pussy cloaks my cock as she sinks down on me. Always the perfect fit.
“We’ve never used any protection, but I am on the pill.”
“I know, baby. I saw them on your bathroom counter. But there’s no harm in practicing.”
She grinds back and forth on me languidly, rolling her neck as she takes her pleasure. “Maybe the odds will be in our favor, and you’ll beat the birth control.”
“Yeah, or I’ll flush them down the fucking drain and fill your womb until you give me twins.” Her walls clench around me, and I grunt. “You belong to me, Olive. Always have. If youwere going to have anyone’s baby, it was going to be mine. Always mine.” I thrust into her from below, cupping my hand over her mouth as she whimpers.
