She laughed. “I told you, I would. You didn’t have to ask again.”
“I wanted to do it right.”
She held up a finger. “Wait a second, that wasn’t her ring, right?”
I shook my head as I slid the ring on her finger. It fit her perfectly, like it was made for her. “It was my mother’s.”
She put her hand on her heart. “Oh, Nolan.”
I put my hands on her stomach and kissed her growing bump. “I can’t wait to meet you, Peanut.”
“Nol, you’re gonna be such a good dad.”
“I want to be a good husband,” I admitted.
“You’re the best friend a woman could ask for.”
That wasn’t exactly what I was going for, but I would take it. “Will you move in here now?”
She nodded.
“Okay, let’s go get your things.”
She laughed. “Slow your roll, buddy. One thing at a time. I have to call my landlord and give him my notice, but I’d like to stay here tonight… with you.”
I kissed her again. “Perfect.”
I shook awake at the sound of whimpering. When I slid my eyes open, I smiled at the woman in my arms. Avery was clutching onto me. Her arms were thrown over my bare chest, and one of her legs was tangled against my meaty thigh. She was whimpering in her sleep. No. Moaning. And grinding against my leg.
Was she humping my leg like a dog in heat?
I squinted at my phone in the dark and saw it was one in the morning. I wanted to let her sleep, but hearing that noise made my dick lift in interest. I nudged her softly. “Avs, wake up.”
“Nolan,” she moaned.
“Hey, I’m right here. What’s wrong?”
Her eyes slid open and then widened when she realized her hand was reaching for the very thing that loved her moans. She shifted onto her back.
“You okay?” I asked.
She shook her head but wouldn’t look at me.
“What’s wrong?”
She put a hand on her face like something embarrassed her. “Nothing’s wrong.”
“You were whimpering in your sleep. Did you have a bad dream?”
“Not a bad dream,” she said, her words muffled by her hand over her mouth.
“Okay…”
She pulled her hand away from her face. “I was having a sex dream.”
“Oh.”
“I’m very horny.”
