“Embrie’s asleep…”
“And?”
“And I’d like to practice making her a little brother or a little sister.”
Lacy’s breath hitched. “You know it’s just practice. I still have my birth control implant.”
“I know.” He kissed her cheek as his thumb brushed over the spot on her arm where the birth control had been inserted. “But I hope, one day soon, we can talk about what steps we have to take to get that removed.”
Nash had brought it up a few times in Montana, joking that the fresh air would definitely make her more fertile. Something that she laughed at at first, but then immediately feared once she met all of Nash’s cousins and their kids. He had to be right—there was something in that open, expansive air.
His hand landed on her belly, and he lowered his head, pressing a kiss directly between her hips. “I never understood why Gunner is so obsessed with Lily being pregnant, but the thought of you carrying my child…”
“Nash.” She giggled, raking her fingers through his hair.
“It just does something for me. My wife, big and round with my baby. Getting to make Embrie a big sister. Growing our family. I’m so excited for it all.”
Lacy pushed against his shoulders. “Go over there.” She pointed to the chair in the corner of their bedroom. “I can’t think when you touch me like this.”
“Maybe that’s all part of the plan.” He winked, but still followed her command, sinking into the chair with a huff.
“A baby… It’s so much responsibility—a ton of work. I barely survived it. And I’m scared. I didn’t even birth her and it almost killed me. I know you want to be a dad and experience that?—”
“Hey. I get to be Embrie’s dad—Iamher dad. And that’s the best gift I’ve ever been given. But she’s coming to me as this incredible nine-year-old human solely because of you and your love. I know you had to do it all on your own the first time around, but this time, we’d be doing it together. All the late nights and early mornings, I’d be there for. Hell, I’ll take all the night shifts while you sleep and recover. I won’t pressure you into it, but I’m very serious when I say that taking care of you, and our children, is the greatest honor to me. It’s the single most valuable thing I’ll contribute to this world.”
Lacy blew out all her breath and nodded. “Well, sailor. We better practice a few more times before we officially start trying. Wouldn’t want to not be on our A-game when the time comes.”
“That’s my girl.” Nash stood, a gleam in his eye. But she wasn’t going to give it to him without a little hard work.
She shook her head and watched him freeze, his eyebrows drawing together in confusion.
“How bad do you want a baby?” Lacy smiled as she captured her bottom lip with her teeth, pulling it through slow enough that she could enjoy every warring emotion on her husband’s face.
“Bad.”
“Bad enough that you’re willing to beg?”
“If that’s what it takes.” The corner of his mouth tipped up in a smirk.
“Well,husband… I think your wife would like to see you down on your knees. What do you say to that?”
Nash lowered himself to the ground, never once taking his eyes off of her. Lacy’s stomach fluttered with need, her thighs squeezing together as Nash’s gaze raked over every last inch of her.
“Yes, ma’am.” He held out his hands as soon as his knees hit the floor.
“No. You’re coming to me, handsome. Crawl.”
“Wife.” The fire in his eyes was matched by the ache deep in her core.
“Crawl to me. Beg. Show me how much this means to you.”
Nash’s deep chuckle filled the room. “Lace. I fucking love this side of you.”
“That’s good. Because I have no plans of shrinking myself anymore. So… Crawl. To. Me. Get that god-like cock over here and fuck me so good my birth control doesn’t stand a chance. Ipromise to reward you once you get over here.” She lay back, spreading her legs apart and letting her hand drift down her body.
“Don’t you dare touch yourself. You’re mine. All mine.”
Her eyes lowered to watch her husband crawl towards her, an apex predator about to devour his prey. And she couldn’t wait.
