“I hear the heartbeat,” Mark murmurs, his ear pressed to my swollen belly.
We’re on our babymoon—the honeymoon you take before the baby arrives, since afterward there will be no sleep—in a cabin in the Swiss Alps.
The pups are staying with a shifter family in Denver who have kids almost the exact same ages.
I talked to them on the phone this morning, and they sounded like they were having the time of their lives.
I giggle. “Even with shifter hearing, you can’t possibly hear her heartbeat.”
Mark lifts his head and grins. “ Her? Do you know something you’re not sharing?”
I flush. “I’ve been having dreams.”
“Oh yeah?” He strokes a circle around my belly, then over my hip. “What did you dream, babygirl?”
“I dreamt we had her in a cabin like this one—but in Colorado. The pups were there, and you caught her. You held her in your hands and called out, It’s a girl, and all four of us started crying with joy.”
Mark’s eyes get misty, the same way they had in my dream. “Sounds perfect.”
He’s been an amazing father to Angie and Jayden. They adore him. Having an asshole for a father made them completely open and grateful for a father who is kind and attentive. Honorable.
They both did well in the human school I put them in, and I enrolled in community college although I still haven’t decided what I want to major in.
I was planning to drop out when the baby comes, but Mark said I should try to stay in school and just take one class at a time.
I think he wants me to know I have more options than staying home, raising pups and serving my mate.
But with him, it’s never like that. He dotes on me. Takes care of us. All he wants in return is me . Which I can happily give.
He gave up his role as enforcer for the shifter council, and I don’t worry about him too much working for the DEA, since he’s mostly bullet-proof.
I push up to my hands and knees and climb over him. Even though we just had sex a half an hour ago, I’m already needy for more. This pregnancy has me horny all hours of the day. Mark’s eyes glint silver with satisfaction, and he grips my hips, tugging me over his erection. “You look so beautiful.”
I cup my enlarged breasts and let out a husky laugh.
This pregnancy has been easy. I feel beautiful—probably because Mark tells me I am five times a day.
I start to rock over Mark’s cock, taking him deeper, then easing back.
It feels so good, but then, it always feels good.
I went from nightmare to dream life almost overnight.
I drop my hands to his shoulders, so I can work my hips faster. My hair, which has grown long and thick, trails against his neck. “I’m so happy I found my Daddy,” I purr.
His eyes crinkle even though I can see his need mounting in the silver of his irises.
“Best day of my life,” he agrees. He grips my hips and takes over the work, pulling me over his cock, controlling our rhythm.
I toss my head back, arching into the pleasure as he makes me ride him faster and faster, winding the spring up tight before he brings his thumb to my clit and rubs.
“Come all over Daddy’s cock,” he commands.
“Yes, Daddy!” My muscles seize around his dick, squeezing and milking it as pleasure rockets through me from my core out in all directions.
Mark shouts and spears me, lifting his hips off the bed, suspending both our bodies in the air as he fills me with his seed.
“That’s it, babygirl.” He drops back down to the bed, still inside me.
“Good girl.” He pulls my hips over his dick slowly, wringing more little earthquakes from me until I collapse over him in exhaustion.
“Naptime,” he murmurs as my eyes flutter closed. His arms band around me, holding me tight.
“Mmm. Thank you, Daddy.”
He chuckles softly. “You don’t have to thank me for sex, babygirl. Pleasuring you is my job.”
I nuzzle my face into his neck, breathing in his leather and coffee scent. “I love you.”
He eases us to our sides because the position isn’t sustainable with my big belly between us. “I’m crazy for you, angel. You and our pups are all I live for.”
“Same,” I murmur as a well-earned sleep takes over, and I drift into dreamland again.
