She licked at it eagerly. “Thank you.”

He bent, knee thudding into the carpet.

Struggling onto her elbows, she gave him a quizzical look. “What are you doing?”

He spread her thighs, exposing her slickness. “My cock may need a moment, but my tongue is ready for more.”

Giggling slightly, she flopped back onto the bed. “Do your worst, then.”

He intended to do his best. Warren gathered her wetness on his tongue, eagerly swallowing everything he could find, enjoying her chorus of sighs. “Oh kitten, I’m just getting started.”

“Enough!” Kate cried, pushing his head away.

Warren rose, licking his lips. His fierce erection had likely stabbed through the mattress by now, but he was in no hurry to put it to good use. “Never,” he whispered, kissing her bump. “It’ll never be enough. I need you too much.”

“Then take me. I’m yours.”

He rose to kneel between her legs, his hands landing on his thighs. “I don’t want to hurt you.”

Lips pursed, she grinned. “Yes, you do. I believe you said something along the lines of it making you hard.”

“I don’t want toreallyhurt you.” His hand skimmed her bump—and the child beneath it. “Or her. My girls.” They were everything to him, and the past couple of months had been abject hell. The sleepless nights. Thepointlessnessof everything.

“You literally had me choking on your dick half an hour ago.”

“Your mouth isveryfar away from our daughter.” He stretched his body out over her, careful of her stomach. “Kate, I am nothing without you. Ihavenothing.”

Her expression finally sobered. “I’m allowed to have sex, Warren. The midwife says it’s fine. If it hurts, then I’ll tell you to stop.”

He knew. He’d read so many books on pregnancy and childcare that he could have likely repeated what the midwife said word-for-word. Even so…

There was the hypothetical, and then there was reality.

“I love you,” Kate’s soft voice came. He groaned when her hands settled around his neck, pulling him down further, until her lips were at his ear. Their bodies came together, his hips angling towards hers. “So make love to me. Show me what we’ve been missing.”

He was lost.

Warren slid inside her, drawing moans from them both. Rough and smooth, a melody that was uniquely theirs.

“Sing for me, kitten,” he rasped, setting a slow, steady pace. “Let it out. I want to hear it. Ineedto hear it.”

He leant back on his haunches, his thrusts coming harder and faster. “I love watching my cock disappear into you,” he grunted. “I love seeing you spread beneath me. All mine. Say it. You’re all mine.”

“I’m yours, Warren—oh!”Kate cried out when he tilted his hips. “There, there,there. Don’t stop.”

Warren kept up his steady pace, sheathing himself inside her, letting his ferocity loose. “You’re perfect, kitten. So fucking perfect. This is how we were meant to be, you and I. Together. Locked tight. I was never right without you, boy or man. Every day separated from you was a lifetime. But you… you’re my home, Kate. Always.”

“And you’re mine,” she panted, interspersing her words with moans.

Her thighs hugged him, squeezing his hips. Pain registered on his forearms, and he smirked when he realised his kitten’s claws were sinking into his skin. “That’s it—oh,fuck, I can feel you squeezing my cock. Come for me, kitten. Come for me.”

Kate’s body broke, her spine bending with the sheer force of her climax. Her moan of ecstasy was a high, rasping wail, but her little claws never released him.

Thatwas what took him over the edge.

His body curled into hers, taking her lips and groaning into their kiss, cock pulsing into her as she drained him of his seed. “Mine,” he bit out. “You’re mine, kitten.Mine.”

She bit right back. “I always was.”
