The way he felt on top of me, fitted between my legs, was absolutely perfect. Ryker had gradually been able to erase my insecurities and trepidations about sex, helping me heal from the abuse I’d sustained. And now, because of him, I truly understood how beautiful sex was; how it was one of the best ways to express your love for someone, giving every part of yourself to them in the most intimate way possible.

I could feel Ryker’s love for me in every caress of his skin, every press of his lips, and it was the most incredible feeling I’d ever experienced.

Ryker laced his tongue with mine, flooding my mouth with his intoxicating taste. Passion was evident in every brush of our lips as we slowly savored one another.

His cock nudged my entrance as he rocked against me. I couldn’t help but moan as he repeatedly stroked my clit with his thick, hardened shaft.

As he slowly inched inside me, a gasp escaped my lips. I loved how he completely filled me, molding our bodies together flawlessly as we made love.

Clasping my face in his hands, Ryker leisurely pumped his hips against me, prolonging every sensation with each deliberate thrust as he brought me closer to ecstasy. He whispered huskily against my lips, “I love you.”

“I love you,” I responded in a throaty moan as I threaded my hands in his hair.

He nipped my jaw as he drove deeper into me. His rough hands left my face to caress my skin as he trailed them down my body, sending a shiver through me. I arched against him, so close to unraveling from his divine touch.

“So perfect, baby. So fucking perfect,” Ryker growled against my neck.

Our lips met again, and after a few more deep thrusts, I cried out in bliss as Ryker brought me to heaven; the only heaven I had ever known.

My body quivered as Ryker continued his strokes, intensifying my orgasm as it spread through my limbs. He stilled and groaned in my mouth as he followed me into euphoria.

He rested his sweaty forehead against mine as we regained our breath. Pressing another sweet kiss to my lips, he rolled off me and pulled me into him. He traced circles on my stomach as he propped himself up on his elbow. “So, we’re having a baby, huh?”

I giggled and stared up at him. “Yeah, we are.”

Our eyes met, and he smiled. He brought his lips to mine, and soon, we were lost in the beautiful haze our bodies created once again.

I called my gynecologist’s office as soon as they opened the next morning to make an appointment. They were able to fit me in that afternoon, so I sent a text to Ryker to let him know.

Me: The dr can see us today at 430 :)

Ryker: Great baby I’ll pick you up

Me: Ok :) I love you

Ryker: Love you too Warrior

Ryker had the day off, so he had dropped me off at work. I had meetings all day, along with a couple of presentations that were interspersed in between. I was so eager to find out more about the baby that I knew work was going to drag on and on until the appointment. My head kept snapping back and forth to the clock on the wall throughout the day as I waited and waited until four o’clock finally came around.

When Ryker picked me up, I could see the excitement all over his face, especially in his huge smile and shining eyes. Once I got in the truck, he asked. “How was your day, babe?”

“Long,” I groaned in displeasure. “I’ve been so anxious all day for the appointment.”

“Me too,” he replied as he put the truck in drive and merged onto the street. “Where’s this place at?”

I gave Ryker directions to my doctor’s office, which was only a few blocks away from my work. We parked in the parking garage across the street before heading to the elevator. Ryker threaded our fingers together. “You nervous?”

I looked up at him. “A little. I have no clue what I’m doing. I know nothing about being a mom.”

He stroked the back of my hand with his thumb and gave me a reassuring smile. “We’ll figure it out together, Warrior.”

Some of the tension and unease filling me were alleviated with Ryker’s words. He always knew exactly what to say when I needed it most.

Once we checked in and I filled out the extensive paperwork, Ryker and I waited in the waiting room to be called back. Thankfully, it only took a few minutes for the nurse to come for me. “Kaiya Marlow?”

Ryker and I both stood, but the nurse stopped him. “We only need Kaiya for this part.” She smiled politely. “I promise I’ll bring her right back.”

Ryker glanced at me reluctantly. “Okay.”
