I spin on my heel and take six large steps into the bedroom, careful not to disengage. I don’t want to break the spell. Don’t want to lose this connection.

I have to though, at least temporarily, as I lay her down on the bed. Softly, gently, as if she’s a fragile piece of crystal. Willa is anything but fragile, a fact that she’s reminded me of plenty. One I’m sure I’ll be reminded of even more as her pregnancy continues. But she is that valuable.

More than valuable.

Being able to say that Willa is mine is like getting to say that I won the World Series, the Super Bowl, World Cup and whatever other sporting events you can think of all at once. And maybe better still.

I take a moment to drink her in, her beauty so perfectly on display. I’ve seen her like this a thousand times, but that doesn’t matter. I’m in awe every time. Everything about her is perfect. There is no other word for it.

Her gaze meets mine, lip getting caught between her teeth as she smiles at me. It’s mischievous, yet almost insecure. Like she’s concerned that I don’t like what I see. As if that were even possible.

“You have no idea how magnificent you are, do you?”

I drag my eyes up and down her body, my mouth watering with each new inch of skin.

“Enjoy it now, ’cause soon enough I’ll resemble a beached whale.”

“Doubtful.” I fix my stare on her, placing one knee on the bed, followed by the other, my hands on either side of her head, caging her in. “But even once you have that big ol’ baby belly, you’re still going to be gorgeous. Willa, there’s never been a time when I haven’t thought you were the most stunning thing I’ve ever seen.”

She opens her mouth to object, but I stop her with a kiss. She moans softly, nipping at my lip.

“And before you argue with me, remember that I’ve not only seen you when you first wake up, but I’ve held your hair while puking. And yes, you were still stunning even then.”

“Nash…”

“Willa.”

Pressing my lips to her neck, I nibble at the soft, tender skin. Arching her back, Willa pushes her chest forward, her breasts calling my name.

In time, beauties…in time…

Slowly, I make my way down her body, peppering kisses as I go. Her skin is sweet, like the sugar rim on a drink that is going to go straight to my head. Which is exactly what Willa is. I linger at her clavicle, finding the super sensitive spot I know gets her every time. Sure enough, she squeaks when I hit it, making my whole body come alive.

I’m already on fire, raring to go, and I haven’t even reached her tits. The fact that any woman has this kind of effect on a man makes me wonder how we men manage to function at all.

My kisses go from soft and sweet, to open-mouth and purposeful the closer I get to her nipples. The taut peaks beckon, and who am I not to comply. I take one in my mouth, the other in between my fingers, laving and toying leisurely in a way that I know is driving her crazy.

But I don’t stay long.

I can hear the frustration in her murmurs. I have some place better to be though. My plan is to worship this woman, and that can only be done from one place.

“You taste so good, baby. And I haven’t even made it to the best part yet.”

Wiggling her hips, she tries to move me down faster. I tsk, shaking my head, letting her know that isn’t how this is going to work. I’m the one calling the shots. She just needs to sit back, relax, and let me pleasure her until she can’t move.

Placing my hands on her knees, I shift her legs open, giving me all the access I need. It takes a strength I’m not entirely sure I have not to dive right in. Her pussy is calling to me like a siren song, but I must hold out.

There’s still teasing left to be done.

Starting on the inside of one knee, I kiss my way north, alternating sides as I go. Each new press of my lips earns me a new moan, my cock twitching in time with her cries.

“Please…”

“Well, since you asked so nicely.”

I give her a wink, lowering my mouth to her core. Anticipation radiates off her, her ragged breathing audible as I inhale deeply, savoring the moment. That is, until my tongue hits her pussy, licking from base to top, hitting her clit with a sharp flick.

“Shit!” Willa cries out.
