Oliver grasped my wrist, gently but firmly pulling my hand away. "Stop it," he murmured. "It's nothing like that."

"I'm worried," I confessed, my voice muffled against his skin.

He tilted my chin up, forcing me to meet his gaze. "Please don't be. Don't let this ruin our vacation."

I took a deep breath, willing myself to relax. "I'll try."

We spent the day lounging in the pool, basking in the sun and each other’s company. The cool water was a refreshing contrast to the summer heat. Every so often, Oliver would reach out, his fingers gliding over my lotion-laden arm. Each touch sent chills down my spine, igniting a familiar desire.

“Oliver?” I murmured, my voice barely above a whisper.

“Yes, sweetheart?” His eyes met mine, a hint of curiosity in them.

“Can you take me upstairs?” I asked, my tone laced with a hint of mischief.

“Now?” He sounded surprised, a playful smile tugging at his lips.

“You sound surprised,” I teased, arching an eyebrow.

“We had sex three hours ago,” he reminded me, amusement dancing in his eyes.

“I want more,” I admitted, my gaze unwavering. “Don’t deny me.”

“Are you pregnant?” he asked, a mixture of concern and curiosity in his voice.

“I just got over my period, so I think the answer is no,” I replied, rolling my eyes.

“Right. I hadn’t thought of that.”

“We didn’t have sex for three days,” I pointed out, a mock pout on my lips.

“And that means I have to make up for lost time?” he teased, a grin spreading across his face.

“Mr. Fox, you have three months to make up for,” I said, my tone turning serious. “No time like the present.”

“Very well. You talked me into it,” he said, standing up.

“Excuse me?” I slipped off my sunglasses, looking at him incredulously. “I doubt I need to talk you into sex.”

“You’re right, you don’t,” he admitted, a chuckle escaping his lips.

Without another word, Oliver scooped me into his arms, making me squeal in surprise. He carried me to the French doors, fumbling with the handle before pushing it open, ignoring the blast of cool air that escaped. As he climbed the stairs, I wound my fingers in his thick hair, anticipation building with every step.

"Mmm, that was so good," I sighed, lying boneless next to a naked Oliver, my skin still tingling from our lovemaking.

"I aim to please. Are you pleased?" Oliver asked, a playful glint in his eyes as he turned his head to look at me.

"Very much," I replied, a contented smile spreading across my face.

"You were quite tasty today," he teased, brushing a strand of hair from my forehead.

"Just today?" I quipped, raising an eyebrow.

"Every day. I love you so much," he murmured, leaning in to kiss my shoulder.

"I hope I get pregnant soon," I confessed, my voice soft but earnest.

Oliver turned to me, his expression shifting to one of surprise. "You do?"
