But as she watched the newlywed couple slow dance together, she thought she could see a similar glow in her sister’s cheeks as Roman’s hand slid covertly to her stomach for the briefest of moments. Her eyes met Olivia’s across the crowded ballroom, her sister’s answering smile telling her all that she needed to know.

‘Are you nervous?’ Cressida asked a while later as she lay cradled in her husband’s arms in the master bedroom of their hotel suite. ‘For the baby, I mean.’
Khal moved his powerful body behind her, holding her tight to his chest as he drew lazy circles on her abdomen with one finger. ‘Of course I’m nervous. But I think most people are, even if they have not been through a loss. My biggest concern is fighting the urge to place you on permanent bed rest and lock you away for the next six months.’
‘Six months in bed?’ Cressida pretended to seriously consider that scenario. ‘Would you be there too?’
‘These hormones have turned you into a sex-crazed hellion,’ he scolded, flipping on top of her. ‘We have already made love twice today and you still have energy.’
Cressida felt a moment of complete happiness wash over her, looking up into the eyes of the man who loved her. It was almost overwhelming.
‘What is it?’ Khal asked, a furrow forming in his brow as Cressida’s eyes welled up with unshed tears.
‘I just realised... I have spent my whole life wanting more and feeling like I would never deserve it. And now here I am with everything that I will ever want or need right here in this bed. I never have to feel alone again.’
‘Never,’ Khal murmured against her lips, drawing her into his embrace. ‘As long as you want me I am yours.’
