“Weird. I couldn’t even imagine living that way. Banni doesn’t want to live underground, does he?”
“No, he’s hoping to get an apartment above ground someday.”
I played with her hair. “I was thinking that we should show him Alaska while he’s here. Or the Rocky Mountains. We could invite some of the others and take a trip before the summit.”
“I don’t think Belle would want to go. With the size of her stomach, I still can’t believe that she’s not expecting twins.”
“Maybe she is. Isn’t her likelihood of having twins bigger with Mason being a twin?”
“Since he’s not the one producing the eggs, that would be a no. Still, we don’t know if either of Belle’s parents were twins, so we can’t know if she’s likely to have twins herself.”
“But wouldn’t the doctors have told her if she was expecting two babies?”
“I would assume so.”
“That’s what she gets for choosing a mate like Mason. His size should have warned her off.”
Aubri stretched and winked at me. “There’s a chance of us having twins. Would you like that?”
“Hmm… sounds like hard work.”
“I thought you loved children.”
Playing with her hair, I held a lock to my nose and sniffed in the amazing scent of her. “I do love children, but one at a time is fine with me.”
Rolling to her back, Aubri mused, “The idea of twins appeals to me, but maybe that’s because I am one.”
“Are we discussing having kids now?” I moved to lay with my torso on top of hers. “I thought you said that you didn’t want to talk about it.”
“I said I didn’t want to talk about it until we were married.” Wiggling her eyebrows, Aubri held up her hand to show me her ring again.
“But you have the implant.”
“I know.” She caressed my face. “Obviously, I’m keeping the implant as long as we’re in France. I’m still trying to understand everything that has happened these past six months. I feel like I’m a different person from the Aubri who left the Northlands. Maybe it’s because I’m turning twenty-eight this year, but since you and I got together, the idea of children is growing on me.”
“You know I’m up for it, so why am I sensing a ‘but’?”
She circled my lips with the tip of her finger. “It’s just that I’m not sure what to do with myself. I wanted to be in the army or a firefighter. Now that I’ve been an Explorer, I know what I’m capable of and I want to use my gifts somehow.”
“You should.”
“How?”
“You’ll figure it out. You’re Aubri, the toughest woman on the planet.”
She closed my nostrils with her fingers and licked the bridge of my nose to tease me.
I pulled back and dried my nose. “Eww,”
“What? I can lick your cock, but not your nose?” She had that mischievous look in her eyes that always turned me on.
“Go ahead, lick my cock, I won’t complain.”
She slid off the bed and challenged me with a grin, “Why don’t you make me?”
A playful growl sounded from my throat as I set off in a chase.
“Are you gonna force me to the floor and stuff your dick in my mouth?”
