I collapse next to Valerie on the rug and roll her over, draping her trembling body over my chest and wrapping her in my arms. She snuggles closer, kissing my chest and tucking her face into the side of my neck.

We stay like that, curled up together, letting the sweat dry on our skin as the fire keeps us warm.

VALERIE

“Okay, so here’s the thing,” I start, pacing back and forth in front of Enrico.

He’s on the couch, though he looks ready to jump up and defend me at any moment. I love him for that, and I truly believe he’d protect me from anything and everything. This isn’t something I need his brute force for, however.

I take a breath and try to get the words out for the third or fourth time since attempting to start this conversation.

“Whatever it is, you know I’m here for you, right?” Enrico says, holding his hand out to stop my frantic pacing.

I slide my hand into his, my racing thoughts and pounding heart slowing down for the first time since I found out the big news.

“I’m pregnant,” I blurt out, unable to contain my secret any longer. I squeeze my eyes shut and brace myself for his reaction.

When Enrico doesn’t say anything, I peek one eye open to reveal his completely blank stare.Crap.

“We’re having a baby?” he breathes after a few seconds.

I nod while his features morph from disbelief to pure joy. I’ve never seen him smile so brightly.

Of course, he’s excited. I never should have doubted him.

Enrico is on his feet in the next instant, looking from my non-existent baby bump to my face and then back to my stomach.

My knees feel a little weak, and I’m thankful for Enrico’s arm around my waist, holding me up. He scoops me into his arms and carries me through the house and into the bedroom, gently laying me on the bed. He crawls on top of me and kisses my forehead, nose, and lips, working his way down my body in a trail of blazing kisses until he reaches my stomach. Flipping my dress up, he kisses my bare skin before resting his forehead there.

I run my fingers through his hair and tug a bit so he has to look up at me.“Are you happy? No second thoughts?”

He crawls up my body, placing his hands on either side of my head as he looks down at me.“Valerie. You have made me the happiest man on the whole fucking planet. I love you so much, and I can’t believe we’re having a kid together.” He leans down and kisses me, slow and sweet and passionate, proving his words. “I don’t know how I got so lucky,” he says before diving back into my mouth with more intensity this time. “You’re so beautiful, baby. So goddamn gorgeous.”

Enrico kisses down my neck and sucks on my collarbone, pulling a moan from deep inside me. He growls and nips at the tops of my breasts, causing me to buck my hips.

“I need you,” he pants.

“Me too. Please, please…” I’m not sure what I’m asking, but I know Enrico will give it to me.

He chuckles into my skin, and the vibrations go straight to my clit.

“I’ve got you, Valerie. Let me take care of you.”

I nod as Enrico pushes himself off the bed and strips down. I sit up, and he pulls my clothes off gently before guiding me back to the bed. He kneels by the edge of the mattress and grips my ankles, tugging me so my ass is almost hanging off the bed.

I squeal as he nips at my thighs, then giggle and moan when he licks away the sting. He slips one leg over his shoulder, followed by the other. I’m spread wide before him with a thin scrap of lacy panties separating my pussy from his face.

“Jesus, Valerie…” Enrico presses his nose into my panties and breathes me in. “I can’t wait any longer. I have to taste you,” he grunts, sounding as desperate as I feel.

“Yes, plea –Oh!” He rips my panties off and dips his tongue inside my hole, dragging my juices up, up, up until he’s circling my clit.

Enrico’s tongue is everywhere all at once, devouring every inch of my pussy. His tongue, teeth, and hot breath work in tandem to wind me tighter and tighter. He shoves two fingers deep inside me and curls them up. My back arches off the bed, and I scream his name, riding the sweet edge of torture and pleasure, ready to fall into oblivion at any moment.

He continues to thrust his fingers in and out of me as I writhe and buck my hips.

“Yes! Yes! Ohmygod, I’m… I’m…”
