But as Ari continued to ravish me, hitting that perfect angle again and again, mingled with the sparks stimulated by his fingers, I couldn’t help but clench on him as my throat closed around my splintered moans.

It was all too much to take at once as everything within me came undone, and my legs wobbled as my orgasm tore through me.

I cried out for him, leaning against the wall as he caged me there, pumping me through that blissful high. I continued to squeeze him, resulting in his guttural moans, and that release broke me down completely.

Ari cursed to himself again as he put his arm out to catch me, pinning me to his body as he rutted several times before spilling inside me, chasing right after me.

As his movements slowed to lazy strokes as we rode out that high together, he held me close and made sure I didn’t fall due to how shaky my legs were. He leaned over of me, supporting us both with a strong arm against the shower wall while we caught our breath.

I was aching from his intense thrusts, feeling overstimulated until he softened and slipped out of me, still attentive to me even as he did his best to calm down.

In my pleasant haze, I hardly noticed as he turned me around and pressed his forehead against mine while the shower continued to rain down around us. He pulled me to him and wrapped his arms around my back, dipping down to press his soft kisses against my lips.

I savored the taste of him and how perfect his mouth was, feeling delirious after the fact.

But if I knew anything about Ari, it was how seriously he took aftercare.

To my great relief, he wasted no time pressing those kisses to my skin, moving from my cheeks to my forehead, and back to my lips again before he brought his hands up to my hair.

With careful precision, Ari massaged my scalp, making sure my hair was thoroughly wet before he reached for the shampoo and lathered it through my locks.

Eyes closed, I took in the addictive feeling of his soothing fingers and melted almost completely.

Ari’s chuckle reverberated to me through his chest as I leaned against him. “Remind me to do this more often.”

“Please do,” I sighed, aware of how scratchy my voice sounded from crying out for him.

Regardless, he seemed to take great joy in washing my hair, and before long, we were both exchanging soap between our bodies as he took care of us both.

The soft foam made our skin slick as we stood there beneath the water, and unable to resist it, Ari pressed a tender kiss against my lips, causing us to both smile lazily into the embrace.

With his gentle touch and the confirmation that he was completely on board and happy with the pregnancy, my worries dissipated, and I allowed myself to enjoy everything about that moment.

Chapter 21 - Ari

That paternal instinct was deeply ingrained in me, and with the exciting news, it was all coming back to me again like not a day had passed since the last diaper I changed, or the last bottle I fed.

Even if I knew the pregnancy was very real and it was something we had to prepare for, it almost felt too good to be true. But the test was proven to be correct as we stood in the clinic and that cold gel was spread across her belly.

I stood by Vivian’s side and held her hand as the scan was underway, letting her know I’d be there through it all. It was her first visit, and the first time we were getting confirmation since Vivian told me. We had both been excited yet nervous about the appointment, but at that moment, all worry faded immediately.

The technician ran us through everything as she got to it, pressing the transducer against her lower belly and searching for our baby.

As a first-time father, it was a lot to digest, but I did my best to take it in. I was far too excited about it all to miss out on even a second.

It was an impossible thing to fathom.

I had wanted to be a father for years, and to have the pleasure of being called Dad by my little one. I wanted to know what it was like to grow my family and to take pride in knowing I was furthering the Levov name.

For the longest time, it felt like a fantasy. I didn’t think I’d be able to find a woman who could look past my hard exterior to get to that place. I assumed my work would be too much, and I’d never have the time to develop that deep of a connection with anyone.

I hadn't been sure I was a man anyone could love, but knowing I was changed everything for me. Even if our marriage didn’t start in the best way, and we had more than enough ups and downs in a short amount of time, everything had me feeling optimistic about us lately. We were on the right path, and I did not doubt that.

We made good strides to better understand each other, and we were developing more trust with every passing day. We cared about each other more than I thought possible, and I was beyond grateful for it.

Plus, with the baby on the way offering us another way to connect, I was sure everything would be fine.

“Alright Vivian, so far I can see one embryonic sac,” the technician said as she looked closer until her brows went up, and there was a sudden lift to her voice. “Oh. It seems we have a bit of a surprise today.”
