I tug at his shirt, silently urging him to remove it. He pulls back just long enough to yank the shirt over his head before claiming my lips again. The feel of his bare skin against mine is intoxicating.

“I want you,” he breathes against my mouth. “Again. Now.”

Heat floods my cheeks, but I can’t deny my own longing. “Yes,” I whisper.

Josh kisses me fiercely as his hands move to remove the last barriers between us. Then he’s sliding into me again in one smooth thrust, filling me so completely I cry out at the intensity of it.

For a few breathless moments we stay locked together, savoring the connection. I wrap my arms around him, holding him close while I adjust to the feeling of him deep inside me.

“You feel so good,” he murmurs, his voice rough with desire. He begins to move then, slowly at first but building quickly. I move with him, lifting my hips to meet each thrust.

The pleasure coils tighter and tighter within me. Josh’s rhythm becomes erratic as we both near the edge, chasing the sweet release we’ve found in each other’s arms.

When it hits me, it’s like nothing I’ve ever known. Wave after wave of ecstasy washes over me, and I cling to Josh as I’m swept away. He follows soon after with a shout, collapsing against me as we float in the aftermath of passion shared.

Breathless and sated, I relax into his embrace. There is no place I’d rather be than here, wrapped safe in Josh’s arms. And I know without a doubt that this is where I belong—today, tomorrow and always.

Josh kisses the top of my head as our heartbeats slow to a steady rhythm. “That was…”

“Amazing,” I finish for him. I tilt my head up, seeking his lips for a languid kiss.

He hums in agreement, deepening the kiss. By the time we part, desire stirs within me again.

I nod, unable to hide my smile. The thought of falling asleep in his arms and waking up next to him fills me with warmth and joy.

We get up to clean ourselves, stealing kisses and touches along the way. Once we’re settled into bed, he pulls me close against him. I rest my head on his chest, listening to the steady beat of his heart.

The crackling fire casts a warm glow over the room, and the scent of pine from outside mingles with our earlier activities. I breathe deep, wanting to remember every detail of this perfect moment.

“Thank you for bringing me here,” I whisper. “This has been the most wonderful weekend of my life.”

He presses a kiss to the top of my head. “It’s only the beginning, darling. We have so many more adventures ahead of us.”

A thrill runs through me at his words. The future is ours to explore, filled with possibility and promise. But for now I’m content to stay here in this place that has become our sanctuary, finding peace and passion in Josh’s arms.

SURPRISE!

PEARL

The aroma of fresh roses and vanilla candles wafts through the air as Josh leads me into the dining room. My heart flutters at the sight before me. The small table is covered in my favorite lacy tablecloth, two tall candles casting a warm glow over the dishes.

“Happy nine months, baby.” Josh presses a soft kiss to the back of my neck, his lips curving into a smile against my skin.

“You did all this for me?” I turn in his arms, my hands sliding up his chest. “You’re too good to me.”

“Nonsense. You deserve it all.” His gaze burns into mine, dark and intense. “I love you so damn much, Pearl.”

“I love you too.” I capture his mouth in a searing kiss, desire pooling low in my belly. We’re insatiable for each other, always touching, always needing more. When we come up for air, I notice the plates. “Mmm, my favorite. Lobster tail and asparagus.”

“Only the best for my girl.” Josh pulls out my chair and waits for me to sit before taking his own seat. “The meal isn’t over yet either.” His wink and grin make my cheeks flush. I know exactly what he has planned for dessert.

JOSH

Watching Pearl enjoy the meal I prepared fills me with warmth and pride. She’s radiant in the candlelight, her curls framing her face like a dark halo, lips curved in a smile. I can’t believe she’s mine.

Pearl lets out a soft moan as she takes a bite of lobster, the sound going straight to my groin. I shift in my chair, craving the intimacy we’ll share later.
