“Yeah, we just need a condom,” I respond, before he brings his face up to mine with a look in his eyes like I just told him the Easter Bunny isn’t real.

“Oh, come on, Baby. I’ve haven’t been inside you with one of those since our first time.”

It’s true. After that, we’ve never used them. Unfortunately, as I was getting things in order to come out on this tour, the pharmacy was low on my supply of birth control pills and could only give me a two-month supply. I forewarned Jack when I arrived two weeks into the tour that we’d need protection when I ran out as it would be a bitch trying to find a pharmacy in a random city, especially without attracting unwanted attention.

“I know, but I ran out of my birth control, remember?”

“Yeah, I know,” he whispers as realization falls over his face before he goes back to kissing along my jawline, presumably trying to keep the mood going. He’s hard as steel against my clit and he rolls his hips to grind himself into me. “But...” he speaks to me between kisses, “what would you think… about… letting nature take its course?”

Uhh… what?I squint at him and pull my face away from his lips to bring him into focus.

“Jack, our life is crazy,”

“Only for a couple more months,” he reaches down between us to gently massage me, hell bent on keeping me in the mood. It’s working. “And then you know that we don’t have another tour planned. It might be the perfect time… to see what happens.” He brings his mouth down over mine and delves his warm, soft tongue into my mouth, pulling me deeper down with him and making me whimper into his mouth.

“So you’re ready to…” I ask dazedly when he pulls away.

“See what happens,” he finishes for me. “Yeah, I’m ready.” He hovers over me, his dark blue eyes searching mine, trying to see where I’m at. “Are you ready?”

“We’ve never talked about it before…” he squints at me incredulously.

“What are you talking about? Sure we have.”

“We never talked aboutwhen,” I prod him, widening my eyes. That earns me a sheepish grin.

“I know, but… I’ve been thinking about it.”

“You have?” I ask, in quiet surprise, before giggling in disbelief. “When have you possibly had time to think about that?”

“When am Inotthinking about you, and all the things I want with you?” he rasps before capturing me in another deep, entrancing kiss. “It doesn’t matter what I’m doing,” he conveys after pulling away to kiss back down my neck. My heart glows at his words, hearing that I’m always on his mind and that he’s thought of this. I have too, but I was happy to wait for the time to be right, which he apparently thinks is now, and… wow.

“So you really want to?” I ask, still blown away at this as I play with the end of his necklace that dangles between us. His eyes are warm as they look down into mine. He’s not just trying to get out of putting on a love glove; he’s serious about this.

“If it’s meant to happen now, yes, I want to let it,” he says gently, having seemed to abandon all seductive maneuvers. “And if it’s not meant to happen yet, then I keep being happy with you and our life while we wait for the time to be right.”

I can’t believe how he’s still able to weaken me with his words and make me fall so in love with him after these last few years.

“What do you think, Sweetheart?” he asks, smoothing a hand down my hairline. “You want to try to have a baby with me?” Oh my God. And then he asks me to make a pivotal life decision with him in the same sweet and nervous way he would as if he were asking me to the prom. I’m dying here. Those dark blues continue to search my face, and they are swimming in hope and his love for me.

“Yeah…” I finally let out.

“Yeah?” he smiles and his eyebrows lift.

“Yeah,” I smile back up at him and a giggle escapes. I can’t believe this is happening. I want it to. I always knew I wanted to have kids with Jack one day, I just had no idea we werereadyto… until just now.

“No pressure though, right? We’re just going to see what happens?”

“We’re just going to see what happens,” he confirms in a whisper, his voice slipping back into a bedroom tone as he starts to kiss up my shoulder to my ear before adding, “No harm in starting now though, right?”

The bliss immediately sweeps over me like a wave and my body takes over, responding to every touch and kiss Jack places on my skin. My arousal, which had been temporarily put on cruise control, starts revving again as he rubs himself against me and kisses across my breasts. Every movement elicits a sound from me, and I don’t even try to hold back. I get goosebumps every time I feel his breath on my skin.

The occasional passing light from outside continues to flash across the bed as I thread my fingers into his hair and let the feel of his mouth on my body take over my senses.

Jack sits back and pulls me up with him to straddle his lap, and his strong arms go around me. It makes me feel safe and protected and it turns me on beyond belief.

“I love taking you like this,” he whispers into my neck as his strong hands grasp my back before going to my knees to arrange my legs around his waist. I love it too. I love the closeness, and how, like this, we can touch each other everywhere.

Jack grabs my hips to lift me up enough to position himself at my entrance, and our foreheads drop together as I slowly slide down his length. We take a few seconds to enjoy the connection before we start moving. He pulls down on my hips as he pumps up into me while he works my chest, his lips and tongue not missing an inch. I moan out as I tilt my head back to give him access to continue up my neck. He groans against my skin, causing a subtle vibration that makes each spot his mouth touches buzz with warmth.
