Chapter 1 Rael
“What are you hungry for, Nylah?” I asked, lowering my head to kiss Nylah’s swollen belly. She was weeks from giving birth to our third child, although this was her second pregnancy. The twins, my rowdy boys, had come first. Gavin and Gage were a handful, but I loved those little troublemakers.
“I’m not sure.”
She thought about it as I rested on my stomach between her thighs, enjoying being close to her and my unborn daughter.
Yeah, a daughter. Me, the father of a little girl.
Man, I was going to fuck up the first person who ever tried to steal her smile or joy. Anyone who dared to make her cry would meet my Reaper. I honestly didn’t give a fuck. Mess with my babies or ol’ lady, and I will unleash hell.
“Babe, you gotta feed our little one. Nothing sounds good?”
She sighed. “Oh, it sounds good until I get heartburn.”
“Aw. What if we get you some Tums or something?” Our little girl had grown in her belly to the point that Nylah couldn’t eat much anymore without getting acid reflux. I felt bad for her, but there wasn’t shit I could do until our daughter was born.
“Yeah, maybe.” Nylah gave me a wicked smile. “Motivation would help.”
“That’s what I’m talking about,” I responded as I reached for her panties, ready to tug them off and feast on her pussy before we went out for a late lunch.
That was the plan... until I lowered my head and Nylah’s belly pushed outward, a clear impression of a tiny foot filling my gaze before it kicked at my forehead. Surprised, I blinked, hopping up as Nylah bit her lip.
“Uh, she just kicked me.”
My ol’ lady giggled before she slapped her palm over her mouth. “Rael.” My name came out slightly muffled.
“Nylah, I just got cock-blocked by my daughter.” I wasn’t even mad about it, just sort of... shocked, then impressed because my little girl was fucking strong.
Nylah tilted her head back and laughed, a full-bodied sound that floated around us, filling our bedroom with its melodious sound. Her hand dropped to her swollen stomach as she patted the surface. “Oh, you’re already feisty, huh?”
Goddamn, I loved my woman.
Seeing her interact with our babies meant everything to me. Because of her, I experienced emotions I didn’t think were possible before we met. Now, I found contentment and love where once my heart had been cold and filled with vengeance.
“She’s as fierce as her mama,” I agreed, leaning over to kiss Nylah’s sweet lips. “Come on. We’re getting food. You can decide what you want while I stop at the store for Tums.”
We finally decided on breakfast food, and I led her into the local pancake house, finding a booth with enough space to accommodate her without the table pushing against her stomach. Once we placed our order, I sat back, draping my arms over my seat as I ticked my chin at my ol’ lady.
“What?” she asked after sipping on her hot tea. “You’re giving me that look.”
“What look?” I knew exactly what the fuck I was doing.
“Rael.”
“What?” I couldn’t help the grin that twitched my lips.
“Stop it. That’s how I got pregnant both times.”
She wasn’t lying. However, my Reaper had a lot to do with it since he liked to show up and flirt with her while I slept. Sneaky fucker.
I snickered. “You’re just too fucking beautiful not to stare at,” I admitted. She needed to hear it. My woman got self-consciousabout her body during this pregnancy, and I wasn’t having it. Every chance I got, I told her how much I wanted her. She always turned me on.
With a sweet smile, she slid her hand toward me, and I took it, giving her soft fingers a light squeeze. “Thank you.”
“It’s the truth. I’ll never stop wanting you. You make my cock hard, kitten.”
The waitress arrived as I said it, placing our food down with a look of disapproval. I didn’t give a fuck. Never censored my words before I met Nylah, and I certainly wasn’t going to start now. Well, only if my babies were around. Gavin and Gage repeated what I said often enough to make me want to try, especially when Nylah glared at me when they did it.
