“Tripp…” More tears fall down her cheeks. “You consider herours?”

Grabbing her hand, I flatten it over my racing heart. “Willow’s a part of you, which means she’ll always be a part of me, too. I witnessed her first ultrasound. The first time you felt her kick. And I hope to experience many more firsts with you and her.”

“You’re unreal,” she chokes out, then shifts her body to theside so the water hits us both. “When did you get this?”

“After we found out it was a girl and you decided on her name. Sorry to tell you, there’s no changin’ your mind now.”

She giggles through the sobs as she covers her mouth with one hand. “I don’t deserve you, Tripp. Are you sure you want this? It’s a lifelong commitment and responsibility.”

“I think you underestimate my loyalty to you.” I press my lips to the tip of her nose. “You’re the love of my life, Magnolia.” Then I kiss the corner of her mouth next. “It’s always been you, and it willalwaysonly be you.” And then my lips brush the other side.

“I’m so in love with you,” she breathes out when my mouth hovers just above hers. “Kiss me.Please.”

Lifting a brow, I smirk. “Since you beg so nicely…”

I give her exactly what she needs, swiping my tongue along her bottom lip before fusing our mouths together. Heat and urgency feed our need to desperately taste each other.

She melts against my touch as I grip her hips and keep her pinned to the wall.

“I’ve missed this so much,” she murmurs when I wrap a hand behind her neck. “I wish there were a way to rewrite history so you were the one to get me pregnant. Then we wouldn’t have lost all this time together.”

I tilt her chin and stare into her sorrow-filled eyes. “We didn’t lose anything, baby. I don’t consider anything with you a waste.”

She nods, though I see the regret across her face.

“If it’s any consolation, now we can play into your little breeding kink without reservations and practice for next time.” I wink.

Her face splits into the widest smile I’ve ever seen, and she laughs. “You meanyourkink.”

“Well…” I glide my hands up the sides of her body. “Whaddya want me to do to you?”

“You already know.” She hears the implication in my voice and goes along with it. “Knock me up, cowboy.”

“My fuckin’ pleasure, Sunny.”

Chapter Forty

Magnolia

Tripp’s body blankets mine as he thrusts into me, careful not to squish my belly as I wrap my legs around his waist. His tongue plunges into my mouth, moaning and whispering sweet nothings as we reconnect after months of staying platonic.

We’re still wet, but neither of us cares. As soon as he carried me out of the shower, and I begged him to fill me up with his cum, he couldn’t wait any longer.

But neither could I.

His hands on my body, tender kisses, and groaning in my ear have me falling apart. Sex while pregnant is a whole different experience but in a good way. Everything feels more sensitive, and my hormones have been out of control, but I can’t stop touching every inch of his body.

“Fuck, Sunny. You feel so good,” he breathes out.

“Take me from behind,” I plead. “You can go even deeper.”

“I don’t wanna hurt you.”

“Trust me, you won’t.”

He sits back on his heels, helps me flip over, and then repositions his cock against my pussy while I arch my back. When he teases his tip up and down my wet slit, I’m close to losing it again.

“Tripp,please.”
