And that was exactly what we got.
I planted my hands on my hips while staring at the unlabeled boxes. “Juriah?”
“Yes, little wolf?” He poked his head over the landing above my head where the ceiling vaulted past the second floor. “Something the matter, dear?”
“It’s hot in here. Is it hot in here?”
He shuffled back, poked at something, and then reappeared. “How about now?”
Cold air tickled the back of my neck. As it washed over me, my body relaxed, muscles unclenching that I didn’t know were clenched. Moving was such a hassle. So was being pregnant.
Ugh, why did I agree to do this?
“Juriah, could you come down here?”
“Yes, darling.”
Well, that’s one reason, I thought with a grin.It helps that he’s so hot.
Juriah approached me with a mischievous grin. “Are you imagining me naked again?”
“I don’t need to when I could just ask you to take off your clothes.”
“Would the lady like a dance?” He teased the waistband of his gray sweatpants—which I had to say were making his package look incredible today. “Or does she need assistance with something else first?”
Lust warped my original intention for calling him. “How about both?”
He laughed while peeling off his shirt. “I’ll start you off with an appetizer.”
“Rude.”
“You like it.”
His smile grew when he winked. I tried to shake off the desire to jump his bones, but it stuck around like a bad cold. Not like it was bad to desire my mate or anything. I just didn’t know how to handle being around such an attractive guy when my hormones were all over the place.
Speaking of which—
“Juriah,” I said for the millionth time, “will my pregnancy be normal?”
He hummed. “That depends on your definition of the word.”
“Don’t pull an Izzy thing on me.”
He pointed to an unlabeled box. I nodded, inspiring him to haul it into the kitchen without so much as breaking a sweat.
Which was disappointing because I liked it when he broke a sweat without his shirt on. “What are Elderling children like?”
“They’re like any children, I believe.”
“Do they get their powers early? Should we be worried about the baby flying or something?” I shuddered as I stared at the vaulted ceiling. I justhadto have that, didn’t I? “Should we take the fans out?”
He popped open the box and started unloading it. Dishes piled on the counter. Then pots, then pans, and then enough utensils for the whole town to use. “They develop their wings young but can’t use them until they’re older.”
“Will it be like…?” What was I trying to ask him? I’d never been pregnant in my damn life. “Oh goddess, am I cut out for this?”
“You’ll be a wonderful mother.”
I frowned. “How do you know?”
