I move down the couch and yank on her thighs, forcing her down onto the cushions. “If you want me to get you pregnant again, just say so.”

The leg she has thrown over the back of the couch gets shoved up her body while I guide the other to bend at the knee. She’s dripping down her ass and so, so swollen. I’m a few strokes away from coming, and I know from one look at her puffy slit that she’s even less than that.

The belt around her throat is even prettier from this angle. It’s the perfect accessory as I line us up and shove the entire length of my cock inside of her at once. I black out as I bottom out and hiss at the tightness in my balls.

“Niko!” she cries out, her walls fluttering. “Fill me up. Please. Please!”

I lean forward and press my palm to her belly, hammering into her. “Wanted in your ass, but I’m gonna fill your womb instead, angel. You’ll be fuckin’ pregnant again before we leave this place.”

“Yes!”

It’s hopeless to hold back. She comes wrapped around me, and I follow a breath later. Spurt after spurt of cum shoots from my cock, filling her up just as I promised. It leaks out when I keep fucking into her, and I focus on it with a raw, caveman desperation.

We both know there isn’t a chance we’ll have another baby. It’s all fantasy. That doesn’t make it any less sexy, though.

“Take the belt off, Niko,” she whispers, gliding her nails lightly down my arm.

I jerk into action, pulling out and rushing to her side. Once I loosen the belt and slip it off, I notice the red ring around her throat and wince. With my touch gentle enough to hardly feel her skin beneath my fingertip, I trace the red lines.

“Did I hurt you?”

She rolls her eyes, lips tipping up at the corner. “You never have and never will hurt me.”

“Just makin’ sure.”

“I think you get kinkier every time we have sex.”

“Fuckin’ apparently.”

“It’s nice, isn’t it? We’ll never get bored of one another.”

“Was that a concern of yours?”

Pushing up onto her elbows, she wiggles her brows. “Maybe.”

“Didn’t you learn your lesson yet?”

“Oh, I learned it a long time ago. I just really, really love getting under your skin . . .old man.”

“I’ll give you three seconds, angel,” I drawl.

Her eyes blaze with mischief as she slips off the couch, watching and waiting for me to pounce. “Are you sure you can spare that?”

The moment I shift on my knees, she takes off, leaving nothing but her beautiful twinkle of a laugh behind her. And fuck me, that sound never, ever gets old.

“Maybe you should coolit on the peppermint daiquiris,” Jill suggests, her attention fixed on me and the four empty glasses on the bar.

My tongue lashes against the back of my teeth as I glower at her. Niko huffs a low laugh a few feet down the bar where he’s serving a customer, and I glare at him, too.

Yeah, I might be on my fourth one in only . . . an hour . . . but the baby loves these fucking things. I’m not about to test my chances with getting kicked in the ribs and the kidneys and the bladder. Pretty much anywhere this girl can reach with her tiny baby legs, she’s beating me up. I’ve gotta be black and blue inside.

“Careful, Jill. She’s like a damn raccoon with those things,” Niko mutters before there’s a plate of fries slid in front of me.
