“Got a call that you were on the way up. Long time no see.”

“What’s up Ari.”

“Don’t ‘what’s up Ari’ me nigga, what the entire fuck?” I stepped off the elevator and sighed. I knew what this was about. I had talked to Brodie quite a few times, and I knew they pillow talked.

“I’m already knowin.”

"You fucked up," she reminded me. “Real bad.”

"I know."

She studied me for a second before her expression softened. "She misses you like crazy you know."

Before I could respond, the elevator dinged. I turned, my heart jumping in my chest as Serenity stepped inside, laughing with Averi and Egypt. Then her eyes locked on me and for a moment, we just stared.

Ari, Averi and Egypt excused themselves. And before either of us could speak, I closed the distance, pulling her into my arms. She stiffened at first. Then—slowly—she melted into me. I held her tight, breathing her in.

That’s when I felt it—the curve of her belly. I pulled back, looking down. "Can I?" I asked, voice barely above a whisper.

She smiled softly, nodding.

I placed my hand over her stomach feeling the warmth, the life growing inside her.

"Damn," I whispered. "That’s really our baby in there."

She chuckled. "Yes, Creed. If you’re lucky he or she might start kicking and you can feel them."

I swallowed hard, stunned. "I didn’t get this with Gio," I admitted. "Not like this. Not up close."

“I remember.”

“Fuck, this shit is real.”

“Very real. I’m gaining weight like crazy.” I couldn’t tell, besides the small curve of her belly she looked exactly the same. In fact, she was glowing, as beautiful as ever.

She tilted her head. "What are you doing here? The appointment isn’t until tomorrow." I looked at her, really looked at her.

According to Arielle, Serenity had missed me. Yet, she was still keeping her distance, but she missed me. I don’t know how, but I felt that off her. I felt her need for me as much as I needed her.

"I came early ‘cause I needed to see you," I told her truthfully swiping a loose curl from her face. "Hoping we could spend time together." She hesitated. “Please baby, I missed you so fuckin much. I need this, need you, bad.”

“Okay.” She whispered, closing her eyes briefly before looking back at me. “Okay I’d like that.”

I wrapped my arms around her again, running my fingers through her curls and nestling my face in her neck. Her familiar vanilla scent invaded my nostrils. My hands roamed her curves, as if I was trying to recommit her body to memory, but there was no need. I had been tangled in her so many times. I knew her; deeply.

I pulled back from our embrace and placed a kiss on her lips. It was a soft peck, testing the waters to see if she would let me. When she didn’t stop me, I kissed her again, and again until our lips were smashed into each other, tongues dipping in and out of each other’s mouths the obvious yearning in both of us.

Serenity was the first to pull back lust fully displayed in her eyes.

“Come on.” She grabbed my hand and pulled me towards her bedroom, but not before I grabbed my small duffle.

Once inside her room, she closed the door and again her hands and lips were on me. Her movements were swift, aggressive but I wasn’t about to stop her. I wanted her just as much as she apparently wanted me.

We took turns disposing of each other’s clothes and in her nakedness, I saw the fullness of her breast, the extra cushion she had in her hips and thighs. Not that she didn’t have a nice body before, I loved her shape but now; pregnant with my seed inside her, Serenity had never been sexier.

I pushed her back on the bed before pulling her panties down and spreading her legs. Her scent was familiar, arousal and desire seeping out of her. The first flick of my tongue caused a groan from both of us. The pleasure I got just from eating her pussy would never get old. The second swipe had me savoring her essence and her holding my head burying my face deeper between her legs.

I slipped a finger inside of her eliciting another sexy moan. I looked up at her as I feasted on her, watching her play with her nipples.
