Faith squeezed her hand. “We’ll help with anything.”

Beth sighed. “I’ll just tell him. Angel’s right. It will be less complicated, and I’d like to see the expression on his face when I tell him.”

The girls nodded.

“I won’t until tomorrow, though. It just might be the last night I ever have with him.”

“I don’t believe that,” Hope said.

God, she didn’t want to believe it either, but she had to face reality. She’d find out tomorrow how much her husband loved her.

Chapter Three

Alastair drew her down, wrapped an arm around her, and pulled her tight against him. It was after dinner, and they were in the family room for an after-dinner drink. Beth soaked up all the affection she could get from him because she was afraid of what was going to happen when she told him about the pregnancy. She listened as he talked to one of his brothers.

She glanced at the girls and saw they were acting as normally as they could, but it was enough not to have the guys ask questions.

Alastair kissed the top of her head. “Are you ready to go up to bed, love?”

She smiled up at him and nodded. “Yes.”

He pulled her off the sofa. She waved at everyone and let him lead her up the stairs and into their bedroom. She heard the snick of the lock and turned to face him. He grinned at her as he started to unbutton his shirt.

“Strip the clothes off, love. I want to see what belongs to me.”

Beth pulled the dress up and off her body. She worried he’d see the differences in her nipples or the slight bulge where the baby was, but he didn’t say anything. It helped that the only low light on was the one by the bedside. She walked over to him when he stood naked and knelt before him.

One of his hands went to the top of her head. “Whoa, love. What do you think you’re doing?”

She smiled up at him as she cradled his cock in her hands. “I want a taste of my husband. You never let me do this.”

“Fuck. Fine, but only for a second. I need to be in your cunt when I come.”

Her eyes stared up at his as she stuck her tongue out and swiped it over the head of his cock, making him hiss and her grin.

“Oh, you like that, do you?” he asked.

She nodded and sucked him to the back of her throat.

He threw back his head and yelled. “Goddamn it, woman.”

She giggled but didn’t release him.

He lifted her to her feet and then his arms. He lay her on the bed and stared down at her as he stroked his cock. “You’re in such trouble, you know that?”

She nodded, and her grin widened.

He rolled his eyes. “Let’s get the bra and panties off.”

He stripped her before coming down beside her. He hugged her to his body and started to kiss her. She knew to open her mouth because he liked to devour her, and it always made her desire rise. They kissed and touched as much of each other as they could while breathing each other’s air.

He raised his head and looked at her. “You are so fucking beautiful.”

Beth ran her fingertips down his cheek. “You’re everything.”

His eyebrows rose. “What does that mean?” he asked and smiled.

“I will never have enough of you, and I could stare at you all day long. Other men don’t exist.” She cupped his face. “The depth of love I feel for you, has no bounds, and grows each day. I didn’t believe in soulmates or destiny before you.”
