And he didn’t hold back. He fucked me so hard that it rattled my bones from head to toe. “Mine.”

All his. Now and forever.

My orgasm hit so hard, it felt like I’d become bliss itself. My scream of rapture, of love.

Nathaniel growled and cursed and somehow flipped me over onto my hands and knees without fully withdrawing from my quivering pussy. He fucked me from behind and his cock swelled. The knot growing bigger than ever before.

When he finally cried out with his climax, I fisted the blanket as I shuddered with another one. Though I wasn’t sure if it wasn’t the same orgasm continuing on from before. Spurt after spurt of hot seed filled me, and the pleasure seemed like it would never end.

My body went limp and then so did his. His cheek rested against my back as we both attempted to catch our breaths. He then gently turned us on our sides with him spooning me from behind with his knot locked in me.

Nathaniel kissed me softly on the neck as he held me against him. The urgency of my heat eased off, but still pulsed in my lower core.

“This time, I think, my heat is going to be far more intense.” I positioned a pillow under my head. Already my nesting mind was ordering what I needed from online designer stores.

“It wasn’t intense last time?” He chuckled and caressed my abdomen. “No complaints here. Shall I take it you will submit your Omega heat work absence form? Those are officially for two weeks, but I think the boss can double that for you.”

I smiled as my eyes fluttered closed. Exhaustion was creeping up on me. “I’ll still be working here at the house. I need more cushions, blankets, and pillows. Lots more. One of those big Papasan chairs to curl up in. Oh, and beanbags. We’re going to need to the appliances in the kitchen this week. I know the counters and cupboards aren’t in yet, but a fridge at least.”

“That sounds all very bohemian,” Nathaniel commented with a light laugh. “Nesting big this time, vixen.” He seemed immensely pleased by this for some reason. “We’ll make everything happen. You name it, I’ll see it’s done.”

Now it was my turn to feel pleased. “Thank you. Have I told you lately how much I love you?”

“It can’t be as much as I love you.” He kissed my cheek, and when I turned my head, we shared a long and tender kiss.

Sleep was no longer creeping. “Don’t be so sure of yourself.” I wet my lips and let myself settle against his warmth, every part of me heavy and content. “Sleep here with me tonight. Don’t move even when your knot goes down.”

“Anything you want. I love you so much, Avery.” Nathaniel nuzzled the back of my head and pulled part of the blanket over us.

“Love you too,” I murmured, falling asleep somehow knowing that this heat would not only bring us closer together, but add a bundle of joy to our family. Goodness knows that my family already wanted to buy gifts for the nursery for Christmas, and we would have a reason to say yes.

THE END
