I’d like to squeeze something else right now, preferably his neck if he keeps teasing me with mere brushes against my clit.I reach back and dig my nails into his muscled thigh.
“Fuck,” he grunts and his hips falter.
Pinching my clit in a delicious way, I finally spiral into a sea of bliss.I moan his name, giving credit where credit is due, and feel him root himself deep as his cock starts to thicken and pulse.
Completely exhausted I fall face-first into the mattress and feel his body shift above me.His arms come around my body to keep me plastered against him as he slightly rolls us to the side.
I close my eyes to doze off with a huge smile on my face.Best way to start the day.Right up there with a cup of coffee, and sleeping in late.
“Time for coffee,” Sevrin states, as if the man can read my mind.
“Shower first,” I mumble, and reluctantly swing my legs off the bed.
Sevrin chuckles as he reaches for his jeans.“I’ll go to the kitchen and see if there’s any coffee left so I can bring you a mug.”
“Good man,” I manage and freeze when I take one step into the bathroom.“What time is it?”
Sevrin checks his phone.“Almost eleven.”
“Oh, fuck,” I snap.“Why didn’t the alarm go off?”
Sevrin moves closer and gently cups my cheek.“I turned the alarm off.You need your rest, and besides, they’ve been riding for hours, darlin’.I’m sure they’ll want to freshen up first.”
I glare at the man.“It’s our home they’re visiting, Sevrin.She’s your family.We should be welcoming them as soon as they ride through the gate.”
Both hands are on my cheeks when he rumbles, “I fucking love you.”
“Yeah, well, I would love you a hell of a lot more if you woke me up with your mouth an hour earlier than you did,” I grumble.
Lifting myself on my tiptoes, I give him a hard kiss and shove his chest.“Now, go to the kitchen and get me some coffee while I take a shower.”
“Yes, ma’am.”He grins and reaches for his denim vest before slipping out of the room.
Dammit, I need to hurry.Handling my business, taking a shower, getting dressed, all of it will take me at least fifteen minutes.I wish Sevrin didn’t kill my alarm.On the other side, I feel completely refreshed when I step out of the shower.
I do need more sleep with the pregnancy draining me.The past three weeks seem more like three months of pregnancy where my belly has grown unexplainably fast.It’s also why I quit my job three weeks ago.
We knew this pregnancy would evolve at rapid speed.Besides, like I mentioned, it’s been draining me and I couldn’t imagine staying on my feet for hours to do an autopsy, let alone do fieldwork.
I take the now empty mug Sevrin brought me while I was in the shower, I head fully dressed to the kitchen.A woman with pink, fluffy hair is pouring herself a cup of coffee.
“Can I have some more?”I question.
Silver eyes, the same as Sevrin’s, focus on me.
“Sure,” she quips.
I smile at the woman, knowing exactly who she is.“Norie, I presume.I’m so excited to finally meet you.”
She fills my mug.“Same here, Sevrin has told me so much about you.Sorry we couldn’t come sooner.Oh wow, you’re showing already.Sevrin told me you guys were pregnant, but...you guys weren’t together until...”
“There you are,” a man grunts.“Hey, you must be Fosca, Sevrin’s old lady.I’m Swade.Come on, Norie, let’s go to the main room where everyone else is.The prospects will be here soon with a load of treats from the coffee shop in town.”
He ushers her out the door and she walks in the direction of the main room.
Swade turns to me and lowers his voice to a mere whisper.“There are certain things Norie knows when it comes to her DNA, while ninety percent stays a mystery.I’ve kept Senna’s secret for decades, even if it meant Norie not knowing I was her father for almost all her life.”He points at my belly.“Congrats.I can’t wait to hear what explanation Sevrin will come up with to hide that one growing fast.”
He rumbles a laugh and I find myself chuckling along with him.
