Fuck, I loved her—and her pregnancy hormones.

I took her mouth in a rough kiss, my tongue angling long strokes against hers. Her fingers fumbled for the waist of my pants, her soft moans mingling with pants of frustration.

“Let me take care of you,” I cooed, lowering my mouth down the side of her neck as I turned her toward the glass, forcing her to release me.

Her head tipped back onto my chest, letting my lips have their way with the soft skin above her pulse while my hands went to the hem of her shirt.My shirt.They were all she wore around the house, and I couldn’t get enough, especially the way her growing body filled them out.

One hand laid a possessive claim over where our baby grew inside her, and the other went to her breasts. They were even bigger now. More lush. They overflowed from my grasp in a way that drove me wild.

I continued to kiss the side of her neck as my hand on her stomach moved to her underwear, tugging them down over her hips. She tipped forward, holding on to the rail as I got the fabric just far enough to where my fingers could slide between the backs of her legs to find her wetcenter.

And if she was responsive before the pregnancy—“Kit!” She buckled at the first brush of my fingers. I pinched the sensitive bud and then worked my thumb over it in firm strokes until she was coming apart on my hand.

“I’ve got you.” I kissed the side of her neck and pushed two fingers inside her, soaking them with her desire and then drawing them back to the heavy length of my cock.

She whimpered, bending forward a little more as I moved my own clothes out of the way and notched myself at the entrance to her body.I had to be careful from this angle. From behind, I could go deep—uncomfortably deep for her right now—but there was no way in hell I was going to lay her on the dirty floor right now.

“Fuck, you feel incredible,” I groaned, pushing the tip of my dick inside her and then forcing myself to stop. “Move back on me, sea star. Take my cock slow until it’s comfortable.”

Using the rail as a lever, she pushed herself back slowly on my length. Meanwhile, I gritted my teeth and rubbed my hands on the outside of her hips, forcing my body to remain perfectly still while she impaled herself on me.

“Kit…” she moaned low when the head of my cock rubbed her G-spot. “Right there.”

I gripped her tight and rocked into her body. Thrust after thrust. Deeper and deeper. Within seconds, she was coming apart on me, her cries filling the small room as her body milked my own release free.

“You’re incredible,” I muttered several moments later, acutely aware that she couldn’t be comfortable like this. With a groan, I slid from her, put us both back together, and then drew her to me.“You okay?” I rasped. “I didn’t hurt you, did I?”

“No.” She smiled and locked her arms around my neck. “Never.”

“Good,” I rumbled. “Let’s go down.”

Her arms tightened. “Will you miss it?”

“The lighthouse?”

“Yeah.”

I lifted my gaze to the horizon, staring at the panorama I’d been surrounded by for the last decade, and then looked back at the woman in my arms.Yeah, there was nothing that compared to her. Nothing that ever would.

“No,” I answered her with a smile. “You’re my haven. My shelter. You’re my lighthouse, now.”

“Does that make you my keeper?” she murmured huskily.

My smile widened, and I lowered my mouth to hers as I said, “No, it makes you mine. The keeper of my light.”

The End.
