Vikan would patiently and lovingly calm her down whenever it happened.He would drag her in his arms and whisper in her ear that she was going to be a wonderful mother to their offspring and that he couldn’t wait to welcome their child into the world.He told her not to worry about the future because it was the singular small moments that made up their present that mattered to them now.He told her that they could deal with anything that happened in their future because they had each other.
Taylor ran her fingers lightly over Vikan’s arm, turning slowly so she could face him.God, she loved this alien.
Through their blood bond, she strummed lightly, enticing him to wake.He’d met her in their dreams last night and just for fun, he’d brought them back to one of the caves they’d stayed in during their journey toLopixa.Taylor smiled.They’d gotten up to all sorts of naughty things in that cave and she’d loved every second.
She bit her lip.Another effect of pregnancy was that she was pretty much horny all the time.Not that she wasn’t before she got pregnant, especially when it came to her mate.But now, her need was even more intense.Whereas they’d been mating around three times a day before, they now mated at least five times.
Sometimes, with how busy Vikan was preparing the outpost for the cold season and Taylor’s busy days learning aboutLopixaand meeting its residents and helping in any way she could, it seemed like there wasn’t enough time in the day for sex.But somehow, they always made time for it.
Vikan was still out cold and Taylor wondered what he was dreaming about so intensely, wondering if it was his gift.Sometimes, every now and again, the power of it would rear its head and slip through the cracks of Vikan’s mind, despite the fact that her presence helped him suppress it.Whenever it happened, she knew if it was a bad vision or a good vision based on his mood.If it was good, he’d tell her about it.If it was bad, he’d grow quiet, eventually giving in to Taylor’s pleas to confide in her, because she didn’t want him to go through it alone.She wanted to be there for him, to help him in whatever way she could.
“Vikan,” she whispered, resting her cheek on his chest, listening to his heart beat strongly in her ear.
He started to stir and she smiled when she looked up and saw his eyes open slowly, going from a pitch black to the gray she knew and loved.
Immediately, he sought her gaze out and when he saw her, he murmured something in Luxirian.
“English, babe,” she whispered.Though she was beginning to recognize words and phrases in Luxirian, it would take her a long time to understand the complex language.But she’d get there eventually.
“I saw us,” he rasped, his arm tightening around her, bringing her even closer to his body if possible.Immediately, he groaned, his hardened cock tucked against her belly.
“What do you mean?”
“The Fates…they gave me a vision,” he said.“Aboutus.”
Taylor stilled.Vikan never had visions about those he loved.
“Really?” she whispered.“What about?”
“It is everything we knew it would be,” he said, his voice like dark velvet from sleep.
“What is?”
“Our future.”
Taylor’s breath hitched.“Did you…did you see the baby?”
“Tev,” Vikan murmured, dropping his forehead down to hers.His horns rubbed into her hair.“Many.”
Oh my God.
Taylor let out a disbelieving laugh and then teased, “Guess you convinced me then to have a lot.”
Vikan’s lips quirked, “I used devious methods to persuade you.”
“No doubt,” she whispered, feeling his hands glide over her naked belly.“Is it a boy or a girl?”
“You wish to know?”
“Yes,” Taylor said, smiling.“Absolutely.”
Even as she said that she wasn’t quite prepared for the assault of emotions when Vikan said, “A female.And she will have green eyes and small, black horns.She will be beautiful.”
Damn tears started welling up in her eyes again and Vikan wiped them away when they spilled down her cheek.“Really?”
“Tev,” he growled against her.
He would tell her all about the vision later and she would hound him for every single detail he could remember.But right then, love so intense strummed across their blood bond and with it came need.
