She took off over the bridge, crossing the river. She didn't stop or look back as she hit the forest. I continued after her and watched as she ran into the forest, kicking up dust as she ran.

"I win," she chirped and turned. Her eyes sparkled as she stared at me as I entered the forest. It was quiet, with just the sound of the wind blowing the trees and birds chirping in the distance.

Once I caught up to her, we walked. I could see her eyes taking the space as we moved. Both of us hadn't been out here. The flowers were blooming, and you could hear animals chirping in the distance. It was peaceful.

"It's calming out here," she said, glancing at me. "It's beautiful."

"Isn't it? Lots of space and with the river near the house… it's a little slice of heaven. I still can't believe we got the house and all this."

She chuckled, and we stopped at a large tree. She shifted back into her human form before she sat down, a smile in her eyes. I shifted and stared at her. "You know, I've been thinking. We pretty much renovated everything upstairs. The laundry room and bathrooms are done. We should probably start working on the rooms up there. Deciding what we want to do with them."

I knew what she was hinting at. We hadn't exactly talked about the future, but we had mentioned it in the past. We both wanted kids but hadn't brought it up.

With the thought of Ivan on our minds, neither of us seemed comfortable with it. But he wasn't an issue now, so nothing was holding us back.

"You know the rooms would be perfect for kids. They seem to be the only missing part of this. We have the marriage, and we have the house. We have the land and the views."

She leaned back on the tree. "If I tell you how many I want, are you going to make fun of me?"

"Is it some insane number like eight or nine? Because I'm pretty sure that Wendy and Ayden are going to get up there soon themselves."

She laughed, shaking her head. "No. I'm not insane. I want three kids. That's it. I want them to have siblings so they aren't alone. I won’t be aiming for anything crazy like Wendy and Ayden seem to be."

I walked close to her, and her eyes scanned over my naked form. "Well, if that's the case, we should probably get started. Everyone else seemed to be ahead of us. We need to catch up."

April sat cross-legged, leaving everything for me to see. She smirked at me as she uncrossed her legs, spreading them wide. "Out here in the forest? What if someone catches us?"

I nodded, walking close to her. "No one is around. And the only one I wouldn't want to see is your brother, and he's at work."

I leaned over, running my nose across her neck as she leaned back slightly. I listened as her breath hitched, and I slid a hand up her leg and between her legs, feeling how wet she was.

She softly moaned, and I bit hard onto her neck. Her moan grew louder, and her arms wrapped around me. Her nails dug into my skin.

I could taste blood, knowing I had broken the skin. I licked her neck, grabbed her legs, and spread her wider. I slid a second finger into her and inhaled her scent.

"Oh god, oh...god…" she softly moaned. "Oh please, I need you in me."

I hoisted her up, hooking my arms under her knees. I slid into her in one thrust, feeling her tighten around me. I quickly turned us, placing her on my hips, deepening her on me. April placed her hands on my chest, and I stared at her. I took in her curved hips and the belly button that dangled. I reached a hand up, rubbing it between my fingers.

I watched the diamond twinkle in the light. "Are you going to have to take this out when you get pregnant?"

She nodded. "Yeah, I will."

"Pity," I said, pulling my gaze up. I took in her breast and pulled my hands up, cupping them. "I'll miss it."

She smirked, scratching her nails down my chest. "I can always have it repierced later if you miss it that much."

I nodded my head. "Oh, please do."

She started to grind on me. I watched her swivel her hips, and I could feel myself hitting her deeper. She softly moaned, her head tilted back.

"I'm yours, April. Yours and no one else's."

She stared at me, and I raised her hand, pulling her head down and kissing her softly. Her mouth pressed against mine for a moment as I slid a hand down, rubbing a finger over her clit.

She moaned loudly, her forehead pressing against mine. "Right there."

I continued moving my finger as she liked. She kept grinding on me, my cock ached inside her. She felt like heaven, and I never wanted it to end.
