Page 60 of Be My Baby

She almost pinched herself to make sure this was real. Max wanted her and wanted their baby, after all. She bit her lip to contain the growing grin. She was so happy she thought she’d burst from sheer joy.

He squirted some shower gel on the washcloth and worked it over her back in slow, gentle swirls. She bit her lip again and closed her eyes.

Oh, yes.

Yes, indeed.

He swiped it down over the curve of her ass, then around to her waist and up, circling her breasts, frothing them both in suds. Goosebumps erupted all over her as he kept the washcloth moving over every inch of exposed skin.

“Do you like looking at me naked?” he whispered in her ear.

Millie twisted her head back to whisper in his. “Yes. I particularly like looking at this.” She reached down and behind and slid her knuckles up his shaft, gently, barely a caress.

His breath caught and the cloth dipped between her legs. She fought hard not to react. He let out a light laugh, almost pained.

“Nice to know it’s appreciated.”

Millie chuckled, leaned her back into his chest and pressed a kiss to his neck. “It’s difficult not to appreciate such a beautiful package.”

Max gave up any pretence at helping her bathe and took her mouth in a searing kiss, turning her and pushing her into the tiled wall.

Her arms slid up around his neck and he hit the tap, shutting off the water. He lifted her and carried her out of the bathroom to dump her onto his bed, kneeling above her. Raven-dark, wet hair flopped forward to hang over his forehead. Hunger and pain in equal measure echoed in his haunted eyes.

“I thought I’d screwed everything up. I don’t know why I thought pushing you away would be the right thing to do. I need you, Millie. I need you by my side.”

She reached up and stroked his cheek with her thumb. Max bit his lip and his eyes closed. He tilted his face into her touch.

She tilted her head to let him kiss her neck. She slid her hands into his wet hair.

“As long as you’re inside me at some point very soon, I don’t care what else you do to me. Do anything, just so long as I getyou.”

Every muscle in his body tensed. “I’m going to hold you to that. And I’m going to do so many things, make you come so many ways. You’re going to beg for dawn just to get some rest.”

She huffed a laugh. “Well, hurry up and start.”

Max pushed up and stared at her a moment, then released a slow, sexy grin. “As you wish.”

He started at her neck, kissed his way down her body, pausing to lick both breasts so that she was panting by the time he left them, continuing down past her belly button to push apart her thighs. Millie’s eyes flew open as his tongue stroked her and found that bundle of nerves guaranteed to make her scream.

“Max!”

“Shh. I’m concentrating,” he rumbled against her flesh and pushed her legs wide, settling between them.

She shoved her hand into his hair and bucked on the bed, right against his mouth. She wasn’t sure if she needed him to continue this, or if she was going to pounce on him and take him herself.

“Please, I… I want…”

He lifted his head, glazed bright blue eyes staring at her. “Believe me, you’re gonna get it. But first you’re gonna come like this.”

A long, low moan wound out of her as he licked then wrapped his lips around her clit and sucked hard. Light exploded behind her eyes and she arched into the air. She’d missed this so much that she was super-sensitised and aching before he’d even touched her.

Orgasm hit with blinding intensity. She cried out breathlessly and pulled on his hair.

“Now,” she gasped. “Get inside menow.”

Max moved up her body then pushed inside her so slowly she wanted to kill him. Kill him or scream in absolute ecstasy. Shudders rippled through her entire body, his expression of sheer concentration blitzing her mind as he slid deeper.

His passion-drenched gaze lifted to hers. “You are perfection.”
