"Sorry, I'll let you get back to sleep."
Before I can slide out of the bed, he's reached over and grabbed me around the waist and pulled me against his warm, sleepy body. Eyes still closed, he fluffs the sheet back over the both of us, burying his face into my shoulder.
"Don't leave."
"I was just going to let you sleep some more. And maybe make us some breakfast."
"I said, don't leave. Ever."
"Okay, I won't. Sleep, baby. I'll be here."
That seems to placate him, and soon his breathing is soft and regular again.
The feel of his body against mine, his breath against my neck, his arm around me brings me more comfort than I ever thought I needed.
And I fall.
To sleep.
And other things that I should know better than to fall into
We sleep for another hour and wake up to the sun overheating our bodies through the window.
Kylian kicks the sheet off of us and points the remote to turn the ceiling fan up. "Good morning, Kiki."
"I think it's closer to lunchtime."
"Good morning, lunchtime, afternoon, evening and night!” he shouts, obviously refreshed from his sleep.
"That's a lot of gooding."
He chuckles. "Have you always been this sarcastic?"
"Poor Kylian, you really think that Nathan is the most sarcastic one in the family? You obviously weren't around my mother that much."
"Enough to know she was no shrinking violet either. You're definitely her daughter, though. Nathan is your father's son."
My face freezes, refusing to react. He hadn’t meant anything by it. It’s true. "He is Dad’s clone, through and through. I wonder if he'll meet someone who will knock him off his feet and love the playboy right out of him."
"You mean like you did to me?"
I feel the blush spread and hide it in a pillow.
He climbs under the sheet with me, kissing me in a way that's different to every kiss between us that's come before.
I fall into it, ready to lose myself in him.
And then a rumble permeates the sound of the bedroom.
"Um." He pulls away and stares down at my stomach. "Was that you?"
I force the blood rising up my cheeks to go back down. "Was what me?"
"That sound!! It came from you!"
"I'm pretty sure that I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about."
He grins and reaches over and pokes me in the belly. "I think it's time that I put something in there."
