I laughed and gasped as his thumb pressed against my clit. “Me too. I like being married to you.”
He thrust up from below, and I let him take control. “I like being married to you, too.”
“I like being Mrs. MacGregor.”
“I love that you took my name, that you’re mine,” he growled.
He arched up into me again, hitting me so hard he sent my tits bouncing.
“I’m yours, baby,” I moaned as I tipped my head back and gave in to the pleasure once again.
“Avery,” he moaned as we moved together in unison.
I clenched his shoulders tight as he hit me deep. His upwards thrusts were erratic, like he couldn’t get enough of me.
“So good,” I cried out as another orgasm wracked through my entire body.
“I love you,” he moaned into my ear, and then he roared out his release.
I didn’t process what he said until I was sprawled out across his chest in recovery. He kissed the top of my head and stroked my hair. I laid there quietly, lost in my thoughts. Did he mean what he said? Surely not. You didn’t tell someone you loved them seconds before you orgasmed. That was just heat of the moment sex talk.
“You hungry?” he asked.
I nodded, but my mind was still racing at what he said. He hadn’t repeated it, so maybe I just imagined it. I was too scared to ask him about it.
“Your dad said he has a grill out back. I’ll fire it up and make burgers. You want that?”
I nodded into his chest.
He tilted my face up to him. “You okay, baby?”
I nodded, but instead of answering, I kissed him and let him take care of me for the rest of the night.
Chapter Twenty
NOLAN
Avery got weird last night after I told her I loved her. Maybe she didn’t believe me since I said it during sex. The nagging part of my brain kept screaming at me she didn’t feel the same. That she only agreed to marry me because we were having a baby together. It was trying to convince me she settled for me.
When I woke up alone, the doubt crept in even more.
I walked downstairs to find my pregnant wife snuggled up in a blanket on the couch with a cup of coffee. She had the book I bought her for Christmas in her lap. She looked so cozy and cute, and she was mine. She was wearing the ring that told everyone she was mine for life, and I had to make sure she knew that.
She craned her head up at my approach. “Hey, sleepyhead,” she teased.
I rubbed a hand through my beard and smoothed down my bedhead. “What time is it?”
She glanced at her watch. “Just about noon.”
“Shit, Avs, I never sleep in that late.”
She smiled when I bent down and gave her a quick kiss. “I know, but you needed the rest. Might as well get our sleep now before Peanut gets here.”
“Avs, you’re ice cold,” I said and rubbed my hands across her arms.
She shrugged. “I’m okay. I put the heat on, but yeah, it gets drafty in the cabin.”
I pulled away from her and ran back up the stairs.
