I now stood completely naked, my skin glowing in the firelight.Goosebumps flared on my skin as my hands slid over my body, starting at my collarbone and working my way down.I caressed my breasts, circling my nipples with my fingertips before moving to my rounded belly.
Carter's breathing became more ragged with each passing second.The bulge in his pants was growing steadily, straining against the fabric.
“God, you're beautiful,” he breathed.
I dropped to the floor, settling between his legs and slipping off his sweatpants and boxer briefs.He bit his lip and groaned with relief as his hard length sprang free.
I caressed him lazily, enjoying the way his breath hitched with each stroke.I trailed feather-light kisses along his shaft, teasing him with soft lips and swirling licks.His taste burst on my tongue, and I savored the moan that rumbled in his chest.
I took him into my mouth, reveling in the fullness of him, the faint saltiness of his skin.I bobbed my head slowly, enjoying the way his hips bucked gently, begging for more.His fingers tangled in my hair, urging me on.“Liv...baby, you're gonna make me come if you keep that up.”
I hummed, vibrating around him, my eyes fluttering closed as I imagined him spilling down my throat.But I pulled away, dragging my lips and tongue along his shaft as I rose.
I wanted him inside me.
I shifted.Carter's pupil-blown eyes raked over my body with unrestrained desire.I sat astride him, guided his cock to my entrance then sank down, taking him inch by exquisite inch.His fingers dug into my hips.I wanted to savor this moment, dragging out the anticipation until we were both desperate.
His skin was hot against mine, his breath coming in short, sharp gasps.I undulated my hips gently, delighting in the stretch and fullness I felt with him inside me.
He brought his hands to my breasts and tweaked my sensitive nipples.His touch was reverent as he caressed my curves and belly, worshiping me.
“I love you,” he murmured.“So damn much, Sunny.”
His affectionate words flowed over me like a sensual caress.I rocked my hips, picking up the pace as pleasure sparked through me.
Carter's hands moved down to grip my ass, kneading gently as he lifted me up and lowered me back down on him.The shift in angle had me crying out, my walls clenching around him.
“You feel so damn good,” he panted.
I rose and fell in his lap, meeting his thrusts as we built a steady rhythm.The fire crackled and popped in the background, filling the room with warmth and the scent of burning wood.
I closed my eyes, concentrating on the movement of Carter inside me, the slide of skin on skin, the sound of our labored breaths.My blood sang with the joy of being alive, of loving and being loved.
He flicked his thumb over my clit, and bright, sharp pleasure shot through me.My inner walls rippled around him, and the knot in my belly grew tighter and tighter.My body trembled as the dam burst inside me, and I cried out.“Oh God, Carter!I’m coming!”
The pleasure was overwhelming, tremors of delight radiating out from where we were joined.My inner walls clutched around him, milking him for everything he had.
A strained yell ripped from his chest as he surrendered to his own climax.His hips snapped up, driving him deeper into me, filling me with his heat.
We lay tangled together on the rug, our bodies slick and glowing in the firelight.Carter's hand rested on my belly, stroking it with his thumb.
“I can't believe how much has changed,” I whispered, my voice filled with wonder.
His lips brushed the back of my neck.“All for the better, Sunny.”
I twisted to face him.“I never thought I'd have this—a career I love, a partner who supports me, a baby on the way.It’s like a dream.”
“It's real,” Carter assured me.“You deserve all of it and more.”
A soothing silence settled around us before Carter eventually broke it.“Fuck.I’m going to have to find a new assistant.”

“Look at that little acrobat.They're doing somersaults in there.”
A choked laugh escaped me as I watched our baby move on the screen.It was our twenty-week scan, but it was still incredible to see this little life we'd created wriggling and stretching inside me.Carter's grip on my hand tightened, and tears sparkled in his eyes.
I let myself get lost in the wonder of it all.The ever-present fear and anxiety receded, replaced by a surge of love so powerful it took my breath away.
