I rip off my pants and climb onto the bed, gripping her around the waist and hauling her naked into my lap. Her skin is velvety soft against mine, and I long to taste every inch of it.

“Fuck me however you want, angel,” I growl. “I’m yours.”

Ava’s lips part in surprise, and her reaction makes my cock twitch with delight.

As alpha, I’m used to dominating every room I walk into. Every word and gesture is a subtle power play designed to keep my siblings and pack members in check. It’s in my nature to take charge in the bedroom, as well, but there’s no greater kink in the world than letting Ava take control.

Straddling my lap, Ava fumbles as she tries to find a comfortable position. Her breasts are heavy from the pregnancy, and her whole body has this glow that makes her look as though she really did drop straight from heaven.

Gripping her around the waist, I lift her up and guide her down onto my cock. A cute little crease appears between her brows as she seats herself down on my length, stopping with me just a few inches inside her and biting her lower lip.

“Fuuuuuck,” I whisper, squeezing my eyes shut before opening them again. I need to fuck her so badly.

Gripping my shoulders for support, Ava slides down my throbbing shaft, taking every inch of me inside her. I let out a low groan, watching her mouth form a tantalizing “O” as she adjusts to my girth.

Ava starts to move up and down along my length. Her movements are tentative and awkward at first, but that just turns me on even more.

“That’s it, angel,” I whisper in her ear. “Fuck me however you want.”

Something in my words seems to stoke her fire, because she lets out a needy little moan and rolls her hips into mine.

I feel it when she begins to move on instinct, grinding her clit against my pelvis and taking her pleasure from my body. She reaches up to stroke her own nipples, and the sight nearly makes me blow my load.

I distract myself by exploring every inch of her I can reach, cupping her breasts in my hands and squeezing her juicy ass.

When she closes her eyes and rises up on her knees, only to slam back down on my shaft, I feel an explosive heat tingling at the base of my spine.

“I’m gonna come for you, angel,” I whisper, grabbing the side of her head and capturing her mouth with mine.

Ava moans against me and bucks her hips. As her tight heat clenches around me, I explode inside her — filling her with my seed.

She slows her movements to languid thrusts, and I pull her against me as that delirious sense of release overtakes my body. “So sexy,” I whisper, keeping my eyes half closed as I trail kisses down her neck.

“Even pregnant?”

“Especially pregnant.” I open my eyes fully and meet her gaze so she can see just how much I want her. “I can’t wait to see you full and ripe with my seed.”

Ava swallows, and that adorable flush creeps up her neck. I know she’s not used to dirty talk, but I also know it turns her on.

Shifting onto my knees, I lay her down on the bed and curl myself around her, breathing in her scent. I can’t wait to see what else turns her on.

Ava rests her head on my biceps, and I reach around to run my hand over the bump that is our growing pup.

“Baby’s kicking,” Ava whispers. “You should be able to feel her soon.”

“Her?” I ask, my voice breaking as I raise my head off the pillow. “I thought you didn’t know —”

She shakes her head. “I don’t. It’s . . . just a feeling. It could still be a boy.”

A wide grin spreads across my face, and my chest feels as though it might burst. Ava and a pup — our own little family.

“You’re smiling,” she whispers, her mouth breaking into a goofy grin to match my own.

“I’m just happy,” I say with a shrug. “I . . . didn’t have the greatest childhood, so this sort of feels like a second chance at a family.”

I can count the number of special memories I have with my own family on one hand. Mostly, I spent my early years wishing I was someone else.

Ava’s expression softens, but she isn’t looking at me with pity. She’s patiently waiting for me to continue.
