“No.” I shake my head, stepping closer to her. “No, you don’t. You don’t know that you’re the first thing I think about when I open my eyes and the last thing I think about when I close them. You don’t know that I’ve been in love with you since the first moment I saw you.”

“Wait... not... since then?”

“Since always.” I step even closer, and she doesn’t back up. I put a hand on her hip. “I’m in love with you, Olivia Carter.”

“Oh, Damien,” she whimpers, crying again, but she wraps her arms around my neck.

“I want this baby to be mine so badly, but even if it isn’t, I’ll be here for you. You know that, right?”

“I know,” she says softly.

“I want us to be a family.”

“What about Dominic? And Sebastian?”

I shrug. “They’re friends, now. I don’t care if they’re in our lives.”

Her pale green eyes widen. “You can’t be serious.”

“I am serious. As a heart attack, Olivia. I want you, no matter what that looks like.” I pause, panic making my throat tight. “But if you don’t want me...”

“Of course, I want you. But?—”

I stop her words with a kiss, and she doesn’t stop me, sighing softly against my lips and putting her hands on my chest.

My breath catches in my throat as arousal rips through me.

“Olivia.”

“Yes, Damien?”

“I need you. Right now.”

“Not in the nursery,” she teases, her voice singsong as she grabs my hand, leading me to my bedroom.

I follow easily, my heart pounding, thinking about all the ways I want to take her.

She removes her clothes as soon as we’re in the bedroom, and I look at her hungrily, the curve of her swollen stomach just making her more attractive to me.

I shuck off my clothes, nearly tackling her to the bed, and her giggle is music to my ears.

“I love you, Olivia,” I breathe when she bites my collarbone, and she lifts her head, her pale green eyes wide.

“Can’t get used to hearing that.” She kisses me, her tongue sliding against mine and making me plump.

I spread her thighs, caging her in with my arms, impatient, guiding myself into her.

She gasps when I bottom out, and I roll my hips.

She keens. “Damien, fuck, that feels so good. I’m going to come so fast.”

“Fuck, I love how sensitive you are.” I ram into her, and she trembles all over.

“More. Harder.”

“Anything for you, baby.”

“Yes, please, just a bit more.”
