“I’m pregnant! I cry at the drop of a hat now.”
I pulled her against my chest and pulled the comforter over our naked bodies. “Let’s go to sleep. If you wanted sex, you could have told me before we went to bed. You didn’t have to hump my leg until I woke up.”
She glared at me. “I was not humping your leg!”
I kissed her neck and nuzzled into her. I wrapped my arm around her and laid my hand on her belly protectively. “You were totally humping my leg. You gonna tell me about the sex dream?”
“Ha! You wish!”
I kissed her neck again. “Goodnight, future Mrs. MacGregor.”
She sighed and snuggled down into my chest. My chest felt tight as I watched her fall asleep, curled up beside me. Her in my arms, in my bed, and wearing my mother’s ring was like something out of a dream. I had to keep pinching myself to make sure it was real.
Chapter Eleven
AVERY
The sunlight shone through Nolan’s bedroom and forced me awake, but I didn’t want to open my eyes. I heard a soft murmuring of whispers and felt a hand rubbing across my stomach. I slid one eye open and looked down to find Nolan talking to my pregnant belly. I didn’t have the heart to tell him that the baby couldn’t hear him yet or recognize his voice. Instead, I strained my ears to hear what he was saying.
“Your mama and I can’t wait to meet you, Peanut. I’m gonna be the best daddy I can be. Maybe then I can prove to your mama that I’m good enough for her.” He kissed my belly, and I tried not to flinch.
I didn’t understand what I overheard. How could Nolan think he wasn’t good enough for me?
I shifted in the bed, and Nolan’s brown eyes slid up to look at me. I placed my hand on my stomach, right next to his bigger one. The engagement ring on my finger glinted in the sunlight and reminded me that last night I agreed to become Nolan’s wife. He was willing to give me everything I wanted. I just had to take a chance on him.
“You awake?” he asked.
I nodded.
He slid up the bed, threaded his hand through my hair, and kissed me good morning. If this was how our marriage would be, I could get used to it. When he slanted his mouth on mine, it felt like we fit, like our lips were made to be locked together.
“How do you feel?” he asked after he pulled away. He shifted onto his side, but his hand stayed on my belly.
“Tired. Sorry, I woke you up for sex last night.”
He chuckled. “I didn’t mind. You tell me anytime you want this dick, it’s yours.”
I laughed. “You’re a dirty old man.”
He ran a finger across my cheek lovingly. “You love it.”
I gestured to my growing belly. “Clearly. That’s how this happened.”
“No, we created Peanut because you wanted to ride my cock, and I wasn’t stopping you.”
I laughed. “Sorry, beard rides melt my brain.”
He rubbed said beard against my neck, which made me laugh. “When do we find out the sex?” he asked.
“After the new year. Do you want to find out?”
He nodded as he peppered my neck with kisses. It felt like an arrow shooting down to my core when he touched and kissed me. Pregnancy was so weird. I’d never been hornier in my life. I shifted onto my side, so my back pressed against his chest, and his enlarged cock poked my ass. I was grateful we never put our clothes back on last night because I wanted his dick inside me again right now. Like right fucking now. I needed him to fill me up and press deep inside me, or I was going to explode.
I ground back against him, and he chuckled low into my neck. “You need something?” he whispered in my ear. I placed his hand on my breast, and he massaged it lightly. “S’okay?”
I nodded and moaned while he continued to kiss my neck and massage my tender breasts. “They feel so heavy,” I groaned.
“Damn, I didn’t think your tits could get bigger. They’re amazing.”
