Page 96 of Doc

“I know! What about Ellie and Reid?” Excitement gave JoJo a shine. Well that, and being pregnant. “They want a brother or sister for Izzy.”

“Don’t forget me and Colton,” Annie spoke for the first time. “We definitely want another baby.”

“How long have you guys been married?” I didn’t get to spend much time with Annie. I’d loved getting to know everyone over the last few months and I didn’t shy away from asking questions.

“Almost fifteen years.”

Lulu snorted good-naturedly, “Should have started earlier.”

“Lulu!” JoJo scolded disbelievingly. “That was mean!”

“She’s right.” Annie sat up from her lounger and reached for the sunscreen. “And that horse has been beaten more than once.” She began to smooth some lotion over her arms. “But I’m not worried, there’s still time.”

“How many kids do you and Doc want?” Raven asked me. She was sitting on the edge of the pool with her feet dangling in the water. I noticed that Cole was busy with their little one.

Doc and I had talked about that when I’d first gotten pregnant. I smiled when I recalled his exact words.“I’ll fill your belly with as many of my babies as you want.”He’d backed up his lustful utterance by showing me exactly how. Even now it made me feel all tingly inside.

As if he knew that I was thinking about him, he glanced my way from where he was treading water in the deep end. Our eyes locked, and the lazy smile that spread across his face caused me to tingle some more. That man had sexy looks down to a tee.

“Earth to Harlow,” Raven laughed.

Her playful tone and the waving of her hand drew my attention. “I’ll take as many as he’ll give me, but I’ll settle for three or four.” I hesitated before adding, “Maybe more. I’ve always wanted a big family. Neither one of us had any siblings.”

“These men make wanting to have their babies way too easy.”

An unladylike snort escaped Bobbie as she reached for a grape on a tray on the ground next to her chair. “They want to fill the club with the next generation of Desert Rebels.”

Viola snatched up a piece of watermelon. “They’re well on their way.”

“Maybe we should take a vote on the next man to fall instead,” Lulu suggested, while scanning the area of available single men. “We haven’t had a wedding in a long time.”

Several women looked pointedly at me. I in turn glanced down at the large, emerald-cut diamond on my finger, marveling at how the sunlight bounced off the many facets. It hadn’t been that long since Liam had proposed, and we hadn’t set a date for the wedding yet. We wanted to be married before the baby arrived, though, and it suddenly occurred to me that we were running out of time. I wondered how the girls would react to our decision to have a small, simple ceremony.

JoJo broke the silence with an annoyed huff. “Haven’t you and Doc set a date yet?”

“Soon, ladies, I promise.”

A commotion at the pool drew my attention. Someone had thrown a ball in the water, and Buttercup had jumped in for it, splashing some of the club members who were reclining close to the edge of the pool. I smiled at their overacted responses. It didn’t take them long to settle back into what they’d been doing. I caught Liam’s eye again, and he crooked his finger for me to come to him.

“Oh! Oh! Looks like my man wants me for something.” I struggled to get up.

“Let him come to you, you’re the pregnant one.”

I didn’t let Jolene’s suggestion sway me into staying, and gave her a wink as I turned to walk around the pool to where Liam had pulled himself out of the water and was sitting. He was dripping wet and relaxing on a lounger. Bull and LD flanked him. His eyes stayed on me the whole way there, watching me like a hawk as I carefully made my way between lounging couples and playful children. I was wearing an orange bikini with a pretty tiger print wrap tied low on my hips. My baby bump was on full display, and a sexy slit on the side showed off one leg when I walked.

I could see the arousal filling his eyes the closer I got. I could feel the heat of his gaze moving over me, and my body responded. My sex-drive had been in overdrive lately, and we’d taken advantage of it. Not that we needed a reason to get frisky. Liam was a sexy man, and his stamina in the bedroom made me feel so wanted and loved. It gave me the confidence to satisfy him and not be afraid to go a little wild.

A little shiver ran down my body when I reached where he was sitting. He took my hand and pulled me down onto his lap. My eyes grew round when I felt his hard erection beneath my bottom.

“I missed you,” he murmured against my ear, wrapping his arms around me and holding me close.

A husky laugh escaped me. “I can tell.” I wiggled a little, getting a gruff chuckle from Bull.

Liam grunted and kissed the side of my neck. “You enjoying yourself, babe?”

I nodded. A squeal drew my interest to where Frenchie and Lissa were playing in the water. It looked like he’d just picked her up and tossed her. As I watched them for a minute, I felt Liam’s lips gliding down my chest to the swell of my breasts above my swimsuit. When his tongue dipped into my cleavage, I couldn’t control the shudder of pleasure that racked my body.

“You happy?”
