"Your roommate?" He gestured quizzically toward the door but shook his head, "No? Why?"

"Nothing, never mind," I said with a short shiver. Cason closed the door behind him. I held my breath, wondering if I'd ruined every chance I had with Cason at this point, and he was here to tell me that co-parenting was the best option after all.

There was something about him that seemed stronger, more decisive, and hotter, which seemed impossible.

He strode to me, stopping short to pull me toward him. I swayed into his embrace, swallowing as my heartbeat kicked up a notch. "I've got things to say to you and you're going to listen."

Heat curled inside my body, licking my nerve endings with languid strokes as my gently rounded belly pressed against him. "What do you want to talk about?"

"I want you, Starlie," he said, slowly pulling me toward my bedroom, where we'd first hooked up that fateful night after karaoke. The saliva threatened to dry up in my mouth as everything suddenly got wet. "I've wanted you since the moment I laid eyes on you up on that stage, singing your heart out to a sparse crowd in an old bar that smelled like corn chips and wet dog. You opened your mouth and belted out the notes like you were born to sing to a sold-out crowd at the biggest arenas in the world, and I was hooked. Then, I saw how goddamn beautiful you were, and I was lost."

I opened my mouth to protest, but he didn't give me a chance, stealing the words with the hunger of his kiss.

His tongue danced with mine. Heat raged between us like it always did when we were within two feet of each other. I lost myself to the red-hot sensation of being utterly devoured by the man who ignited my soul and tempted me with a future that was both exhilarating and terrifying.

"Cason," I breathed, a moan escaping my lips as he traveled down the length of my neck, his hands filling with my ass cheeks and anchoring there as if the meaty flesh could save his life.

"God, I've missed you so much, Starlie," he groaned. "I need to taste you, baby, right now."

It wasn't a plea, it was a desperate plea that left no room for any other answer aside from an enthusiastic yes — and I was eager to give it to him.

Before, I'd been nervous about being naked around Cason with my changing body, but now, I felt nothing but sexual freedom. My clothes were off in an instant, and when I was lying there, splayed to his hot gaze, he didn't disappoint.

He quickly jerked his clothes off, his cock springing rock hard from a short nest of dark blonde hair, stealing my breath.

I'd never seen Cason so aroused. Every inch of him was made from steel, and I couldn't wait to feel that hard length inside me.

His gaze, hot and adoring, raked my body, hungrily roving as if he couldn't get enough and didn't know where to start first because he had to taste every part of my body, or he'd die.

"Jesus-fucking-Christ," he murmured, coming to me. "You're the most beautiful woman alive."

And the way he said it, I believed him. His gaze made me feel like a goddess.

Cason's hands slid slowly up my arms, leaving a trail of goosebumps in their wake. He gazed deeply into mine, filled with more tenderness and longing than I'd ever dared to believe belonged to me.

"I've missed you so much, Starlie," he murmured, brushing his thumb over my cheek.

My heart fluttered wildly. "I've missed you too," I admitted, tears springing as pure emotion washed over me. This man was everything to me. How could I have been so blind to what I truly wanted?

He drew me close, one hand gently cradling my pregnant belly. The firm warmth of his touch made my breath catch. I nuzzled into the crook of his neck, surrounded by his familiar, intoxicating scent.

As tender as the moment was, the hot prod of his cock at my pussy lips was a reminder of what we both wanted. I reached down to grip the solid length, reaching up to pull his mouth to mine.

The playful dance of our tongues sparked that white-hot chemistry between us. Yet Cason kept the pace slow, focused entirely on savoring each sensual sensation.

I trembled at the love shining in his eyes. This was no desperate hookup but a homecoming between souls.

"I love you, Starlie," he whispered. "You and this baby are my whole world. I'll never leave you again."

Tears of joy pricked my eyes. I knew without doubt that he meant it. I wasn't scared anymore.

"I love you too," I breathed, closing my eyes as he gently pressed soft kisses down the midline of my rounded belly. I gasped as he lifted my lips and positioned me so that he could sink between my thighs like a man starving.

I lost myself to the pleasure that only Cason could create in my body, but this time, it was far more powerful than anything I'd ever experienced before.

Good God, what was happening to me? I gripped the bedding as I started to shake. Cason's mouth and fingers worked a dark magic on my hot spots, pushing me to even greater heights as wild pleasure arced through me.

My nipples hardened to peach pits, and my toes curled as the most exquisite orgasm of my life threatened to send me into the sweet hereafter on wave after wave of intense ecstasy.
