Liam’s eyes widened at the realization. “I have a nursery to build.” He chuckled at the thought and gave me a big smile. “I get to build a nursery. This is incredible.”
Laughing along with him, I pulled him back in for another hug, over the moon with how everything had unfolded.
I couldn’t have asked for a better partner, and I did not doubt that Liam was ready for what was ahead. If he was that enthusiastic about putting together the baby’s bedroom, then I could only imagine how he would be once they were born.
With his arms around me, I felt so incredibly safe and grateful. We had come a long way from where we started, and I never wanted to forget what we had worked toward.
“Not that I’m not excited, but I was hoping we’d be able to tie the knot before any little ones came along,” Liam admitted, pulling back as he reached for my hand.
The ring he had proposed with sat beautifully on my finger—a symbol of his commitment—and it never failed to impress me.
The proposal had been such a massive thing for the two of us, and while getting married was something I very much wanted, the secret I had been keeping put those plans on hold in my mind.
“We can wait, right?” I asked, hoping we could reach a compromise easily enough. “I don’t mind having a little one at the ceremony with us. I think it would be great.”
Liam brightened at that. “I can get on board with that. If you don’t mind, we can hold off until after they arrive.”
Heart swimming with love and excitement, I nodded. “It would be perfect.”
Mirroring one another’s bright smiles, there was no doubting just how happy we both were about the whole situation. Never in a million years did either of us think we’d be in that very position, yet we were so profoundly fortunate.
He looked at me lovingly, and I couldn’t help but think about how beautiful Liam was. Not only were his eyes something to marvel at, but the way he gazed at me always had my stomach in nervous knots—as if I was something worth looking at.
“Even if you couldn’t surprise me as you hoped to, thank you. This is the best gift I could ever receive,” Liam said, voice soft and appreciative.
Before I could let my emotions get the better of me, he hooked a finger underneath my chin and pulled me in. His lips were on mine in a warm embrace, bringing me back to every other kiss we shared before.
My chest vibrated from the tender embrace, aware of how content our bond was. I held him in return, feeling just how much I needed that attention after all the discomfort I had endured earlier. I soaked in every moment of that kiss, aware of the mounting joy and relief within me.
As if the news had been an aphrodisiac of sorts, Liam’s hold on me continued as he deepened our connection. His mouth molded perfectly with mine like we were made for one another—in essence, we were.
That thought only made it more intense for me, and I found myself craving him.
It didn’t take much for us to get lost in it, taking in every moment we had together.
When his hands started to wander, a shiver ran through me, and that mutual desire clicked into place immediately.
While Liam gave my lips as much attention as possible, he pushed the thin straps of my lounge top down my shoulders, letting the silky material glide down my body.
Without needing to look, he cupped my breasts and pulled a gentle moan from me.
I had been so stressed about keeping the pregnancy from him that I had been resisting intimacy as a result, but with the news out in the open and feeling so completely in love, I gave in.
That simple sound of appeasement seemed to do a lot for Liam as he pulled me closer, bringing me onto his lap. His big hands gripped my backside, forcing a squeal out of me.
He chuckled against my mouth, wasting no time as he pulled the matching shorts down until I was able to kick them away.
Feeling a streak of boldness, I reached for the hem of his tee and pulled the fabric up to reveal those remarkably gorgeous muscles, then discarded it without care. Before he could do anything, I pushed his shoulders back, forcing him to land on his back.
Liam’s brows went up in surprise, but he didn’t discourage me. Instead, a satisfied smirk crept onto his lips as I mounted him, moving closer to reconnect our lips.
We both sighed into the kiss and let it grow feverish, mindlessly searching one another’s body as if for the first time.
Usually, Liam took control on top when we were intimate, but finding myself in that position was almost liberating. It gave me an even bigger spark of courage, influencing me to grind my hips against him.
He stifled a groan into the kiss and let his hands fall to my waist. With an encouraging squeeze, he guided me forward to create that friction all over again.
As pleasure rippled through me, I found myself wanting more. Needing more.
