“Are you okay?” I ask as the handsome man rises, his head almost brushing the ceiling. “Are you connected and able to get all your meetings in over Zoom?”
Liam grins.
“Yeah, don’t worry, sweetheart. My business is fine, and honestly, the EV car company can run itself. I have a lot of good people working for me, and they don’t need daily supervision.”
I nod.
“And how do you feel about resigning as CEO of your rocket ship company? I know that you founded it and it’s your baby, so it was a big step to let it go.”
My man shrugs, his expression rueful.
“Honestly? It was time. Again, being CEO of two corporations simultaneously isn’t a good idea, and the stress was driving me out of my mind. Plus, I want to focus on us,” he says in a serious tone before pressing one big hand to my belly. “You’re having my child, and you and the baby are my first priority.”
“At least for now,” I say with a loving smile at my boyfriend. “You know how kids are. They grow so fast, and before you know it, they’re teens who want nothing to do with you. Like all good parents, we’ll have to step back and give them the freedom to fly on their own.”
“Yes, but that’s eighteen years down the line, and right now, our baby has yet to be born,” Liam growls before pressing another kiss to my plush pout. “Besides, don’t think you’re going to get off so easy, sweetheart,” he says with a glint in those blue eyes. “I plan on having more children, so get ready to be continuously pregnant for oh, about five years or so.”
“Five years means two more children. Three, max,” I smile.
“Yeah,” Liam growls. “I’ve been working with my therapist, and I think I could have more because I’ve pared down my work schedule, and I’m in a good place mentally. Plus, I like seeing you pregnant, baby girl,” he rasps, his big hand traveling up my thigh. “You in lingerie is always a delicious sight, but you with a pregnant belly in lacy panties and a bra? Damn, I become an animal, sweetheart.”
I laugh.
“You’re such a beast, Mr. Carrington,” I giggle. “An absolute wild man.”
“You know it,” he rasps before lighting up for a moment, as if remembering something. Then, Liam strides to the kitchen before coming back with something hidden behind his back.
“What is it?” I ask with a smile. “Let me guess. The farmer’s market finally had that pumpkin apple cinnamon strudel you’ve been rhapsodizing about, and you saved me a small morsel.”
My boyfriend shakes his head.
“No, guess again.”
I smile whimsically.
“They had those wooden bird houses you’ve been describing, with different size perches for different size birds, and even a special feeder for bees in the summer.”
Liam grins.
“No, although we should get that before the weather changes. I know you love animals, sweetheart, and I’m sure the baby would get a kick out of the birds and bees.”
I giggle.
“Okay, what is it then? I’m out of guesses.”
Liam brings his hands around to show me, and my eyes go round.
“Oh my god, the blue eggs! And the purple Japanese yams! They had them at the market finally!”
My huge mountain man nods before leaning in to press a kiss to my plush pout.
“Yes, after a couple of weeks, I was finally able to track these babies down, and I want you to enjoy them, Avalon,” he rasps. “You are the love of my life, and our relationship began here, on Mount Tamalo. It’s only right that the mountain feeds and nourishes us, especially now with a baby on the way.”
I throw my arms around his massive shoulders.
“Of course, because you’re my mountain man,” I whisper against his lips. “I was gifted to you, but in the end, you belong to me.”
Liam kisses me, his big hands smoothing over my bulging belly.
