Nadine kissed me again, heaving breaths as she drew away. “So sexy. Maybe you could remind me how you did it.”

I laughed playfully as I dipped my hand into her pants and squeezed her ass. “Is it safe? I don’t want to hurt the babies.”

Nadine patted her stomach. “They’re safe in here. Everything else is free game.”

I cocked an eyebrow. “Everything?”

A wide smile spread across her face. “Are you willing to try something new with me?”

She was going to be the mother of my children. Honestly, Nadine could do anything to me right now and I’d lay here and let her.

I nodded eagerly. “Anything.”

Chapter Sixteen

NADINE

My heart hammered in exhilaration as I rolled off the mattress to search through the box of sex toys we kept under the bed. I’d been nervous about them at first, but now I was excited to give them a try.

I withdrew the box and set it on the bed.

Lucas laid down, placing his hands behind his head as he beamed at me. “What did you have in mind?”

“I don’t want to be scared of taking things further together. I want to try it all.”

“Perhaps we should start slow.” Lucas rolled over to peer into the box. He picked through it for a moment, then pulled out a vibrator and a few different types of lube. “Let’s start with these.”

As I was putting the box away, I spotted nipple clamps, and I pulled those out as well. “And these,” I added, before sliding the box back under the bed.

He gazed up at me with a wanting look in his eyes. “Anything else?”

“I want to do a ritual with you.” I turned to the bottom drawer of the nightstand and withdrew our wedding gifts—the candle Chloe had given me at my bridal shower; the Alchemy crystals, herbs, and spell book Onyx had gifted me; and our Wedding Wand.

“Will you brew a potion with me?” I asked as I set the items on the nightstand. “We’re going to be a family. We have a lot to celebrate.”

“Absolutely.” Lucas sat up and came to the edge of the bed to sit beside me.

Onyx had said this potion was safe, even for pregnant women. I found a lighter in the drawer, and Lucas took my hand so we could light the candle together. I gave him the Wedding Wand, while I took the Alchemy crystals and began to crush the herbs in a small bowl they came with. I poured in a small amount of water and mixed it all together. It smelled really good, like roses and cinnamon.

“It came with an incantation,” I told him. “Together?”

He nodded. “Together.”

Lucas pointed the Wedding Wand into the bowl, and I placed my hand over his. The magic in the Alchemy crystals intensified as I withdrew it to perform the spell.

We speak this prayer tonight

To celebrate our union

May our hearts be opened wide

And our souls come together as one

Magic filled the bowl, leaving it glowing with a pretty pink light. I handed the potion to Lucas. He took a sip, before lifting the bowl to my lips and helping me drink the rest.

Almost immediately, my body began to buzz with a frequency that magnetized me to Lucas. His whole form seemed to have an ethereal glow to it that I wanted to be a part of, to literally melt into and become one with. His eyes shone brighter than ever before, and I noticed the deep crevices of his muscles in a way that I hadn’t in the past. Heat pooled between my thighs at his mere proximity.

Lucas’s infatuated gaze roamed over me, like he was desperate to touch my curves and feel my body on his. He reached out to place his hand on the side of my face. That simple touch did something to me. A spark ignited between us that made us both go wild.
