Max leaned his forehead on hers. “I was waiting for you, and I didn’t even realize it.”
“I’m so glad you waited for me. I would’ve been crushed if you’d married someone else.”
“Never even came close to marrying anyone else. But I do plan to marry you. As soon as I possibly can.”
Her eyes filled with tears that made her laugh. “Does pregnancy make people an emotional disaster area?”
“It does. My mom said she cried nonstop the whole time she was pregnant with us, which was years when you add it all up.”
“She’s a superstar.”
“Indeed, she is.”
“Do you think I’ll be a good mom?”
“You’ll be a great mom. You have a great mom—and grandmother.”
“Yes, I do. They’ll be so excited. It’s nice to give them something happy to think about after all the years of hell we went through together.”
“The baby will make all the hell worth it.”
She nodded and then raised her head to kiss him.
“You need to get some rest, baby mama.”
“I need you more than I need sleep.”
“What’d they put in that IV?” he asked with a smile, noticing she had a bit of color in her cheeks and had eaten a good dinner when they’d stopped for food earlier.
“Whatever it is, I feel so much better.”
“I’m glad you do, but you still need your rest.”
She hugged him tightly. “I missed you so much these last few weeks. I kept waiting for something to happen to mess up our plans.”
“Nothing will mess up our plans.” He fell into a kiss that managed to be sweet and sexy at the same time. “All this time… I was waiting for you. Now that I have you back, I’ll never let you go.”
Lexi worked the T-shirt she’d changed into up and over her head, leaving her bare except for panties.
Max sat back and took a greedy look at her. “You’re already curvier than you were,” he said, cupping her breasts and teasing her nipples. He bent to touch his tongue to the left one, and she nearly levitated off the bed. “Is someone extra sensitive, perhaps?”
“Yes,” she said, sounding breathless. “It’s never felt like that before.”
“Let’s see if it works on this side, too.”
It did. In fact, she was sensitive all over, which Max discovered one kiss at a time until she was writhing under him and pushing on the boxer briefs he’d left on for bedtime.
“Is my baby mama feeling needy?”
“Very. Hurry up, will you?”
Max choked on a laugh. “Is this the kind of wife you’re going be? Demanding that I service you on a moment’s notice?”
“Yes, can you deal with that?”
Grinning, he said, “I think I’ll manage somehow.”
“Could you start now, please?”
