“I’ll do whatever you need me to do.” He smiles at me.

“Shit, Ren.” I feel my body go rigid, and this time when I push I feel something slide.

“The top of her head is right in my hands, baby, you just have to do a little more work and she’ll be here.”

I grip my knees and bear down again, pressing my chin into my chest.

“That's right, Kitten, push harder. Keep pushing for me. You’re doing it.” I can hear the excitement building in his voice, and when I glance up and see how happy he looks watching our daughter come into the world, it encourages me to push even harder. Suddenly, I feel all that pressure release, and when I hear a loud, wailing sound come from between my legs, I notice Ren just staring at his hands.

“She’s here,” he tells me, like he can’t quite believe it. “She’s here and she’s beautiful.”

“Well, let me see her, then.” I laugh through my tears as he lifts her up and places her on my chest.

“I told you she had your nose.” He picks up his suit jacket and places it over her to keep her warm as he moves to stand beside us. Then, gently sliding the tip of his nose along my cheek, he softly kisses my temple.

I look down at our little girl, smiling and crying at the same time.

I knew I’d love her from the second I saw her, but I never imagined it would feel like this.

“She really is beautiful.” I cradle her little head in my hand, rocking her gently, and when she stops crying, I kiss the top of her slimy head and look up at Ren with relief that she’s here and she’s safe.

“Of course, she is, Kitten. She came from you.” He kisses the top of her head and wraps us both up tight in his arms.

ELEVEN MONTHS LATER

“She can’t be asleep already!” Eloise looks shocked when I step into the bedroom and start stripping out of my clothes.

“She always goes down like a good girl for her daddy,” I tell her, moving to the wardrobe and getting out the red velvet box.

“You know who also goes down good for Daddy?” She crawls to the bottom of the bed, looking down between my legs and licking her lips. My cock is already hard and ready for action. I’ve been craving her pussy all fucking day.

“Turn around and grip the headboard,” I order, taking the knife out of the box, and pressing it under her chin so she raises her head for me. I could tell from the look in her eyes over dinner that she wants to get dark tonight, and I’m all in.

Doing as I command, she turns her body and crawls all the way back up the bed, looking over her shoulder and watching how I follow behind her.

I wait until she’s in position before I bunch her hair all up together in my fist, and pull the top half of her body up straight so it’s flush with my chest. Her body shivers when the coolblade of the knife touches against her stomach, and I’ll bet she’s soaked between her legs at the same time.

“You know, I think it’s time for us to give Lexi a little brother,” I whisper in her ear.

“You should also know that you don’t get to dictate what we have.” She laughs at me and I chuckle against her neck before I suck on it.

“I’ve gotten everything else I’ve wanted so far, what makes you think this would be any different?" I remind her, as I admire the red mark I’ve made on her skin.

Our sweet little girl won’t be one for another month, but I know Eloise already misses having my baby inside her. Just lately, I’ve noticed the way her hands stroke her tummy absentmindedly; she’s missing the way it swelled as much as I am.

“What do you say, Kitten? Do you want to be bred tonight?” I kiss the other side of her neck while my hand brings the blade to her shoulder and carefully slices through her skin. The gasp she makes has my cock straining against her spine.

“You bleed good. You bred good. Is there anything you can’t do perfectly, Eloise Ashcroft?” I drop the knife onto the bed, catching the blood with my tongue as it drips down her back and trailing it all the way back so I can lick her wound better.

“Grip the headboard, baby. I’m gonna fuck my son into this pussy.”

I slide my finger through her blood, then twist her head to the side so I can paint her lips with it.

“Look how pretty you are.” I thrust my cock inside her, making her gasp for me again. Then, kissing the blood off her lips, I hold still inside her, reminding her just how deep I can reach. She takes my finger and sucks it into her mouth when I pull back and slam into her again, causing her to make that purring sound that earned her her name.

“That's a good girl, squeeze it inside you. Make sure you take it all. You want another baby in there? Show me where you want it, Kitty.” I talk to her in that patronising voice that never fails to get her wetter.
