Finally, it was my turn. “Four, left corner pocket.”

I leaned over as far as my pregnancy belly would allow and gave it my best shot. It got halfway across the table and stalled. No surprise.

“Ugh.” Stomping my foot, I stared down at the table, feeling Jared’s appraising gaze on me.

The pregnancy hormones had me initiating sex more often than he did lately, and that was saying something. After six months as a married couple, we’d be adding to our family in a few months, and I couldn’t wait. But I would miss being able to rip his clothes off and have him inside me almost every time he walked through that door.

“Moving this pool table to the bonus room was a good idea,” he said, looking around.

He’d created a man cave up here, complete with a beer fridge, big-screen TV, and comfortable seating area. He had some guys from the logging crew over pretty often, including his little brother Jude, who I was dying to fix up with my sister.

“It was your idea,” I reminded him. “I was fine with leaving it in the living room.”

“Well, this is far enough away from the kids’ bedrooms that we can play pool any time we want without the kids overhearing.”

This cabin had only three bedrooms. We planned two children, one for each of the two extra bedrooms. Those two bedrooms were far enough away from both the primary bedroom and the bonus room to give us privacy when we needed it.

“Besides, there are things we can do on this pool table,” he reminded me, moving closer, the pool cue clutched in his right hand. “And you aren’t very quiet in bed. I love to make you scream with pleasure.”

“The screaming might have to become more of a whimper once the baby’s here.” I slid my hand over my belly. “But there’s always the option of getting your brother to babysit.”

“My brother will be a great babysitter.” He stopped just two inches from me and leaned forward as though to capture my mouth in a kiss. But he stopped short. “Six ball, center pocket.”

He moved around the table, quickly clearing the way for what I knew would happen next. Then he came around and took my pool cue, sliding them both into the rack mounted on the wall nearby.

“You know what we haven’t tried yet?” he asked.

“What’s that?” I asked, already feeling a little breathless.

“This.” He lifted me onto the pool table and set me down on the felt. As he spoke, he lifted his shirt over his head, then reached for his belt and began removing the rest of his clothes. “I always thought I wasn’t a missionary-style type of guy until we found that angle.”

I smiled and shimmied my loose-fitting dress up over my head. I’d worn nothing underneath it, knowing well in advance where this game would lead.

“You didn’t tell me you were naked underneath that dress,” he said as he climbed up on the table.

He hesitated for a moment, probably to make sure it would hold up under both our weight. It didn’t even creak.

“I wanted to finish the pool game first.” I smiled teasingly up at him. “But really, it turned me on just knowing there’s nothing standing in your way.”

Holding himself up on one arm, he slid his fingers inside and smiled at what he found. “You’re definitely wet for me.”

He kissed me as he brought me to orgasm the first time, then parted my legs to slide inside me and work on a second one. By the time he finished, we were in each other’s arms, too weak to make it to the bedroom.

“Think we can sleep here all night?” he asked.

“I’d love it if we could just stay here forever, in this cabin, and never leave.”

He ran his hand over my baby bump. “Close enough. We get to raise our family in the best town around.”

“There’s that.” I sighed, lazily tracing my fingers over his forearm. “I’m so glad I read that article. I came here looking for a hot mountain man, and I definitely found one. I just had no idea he’d end up being my soulmate.”

“Glad it was me walking across that parking lot that day.”

I shook my head. “I would have found you anyway. I would have turned away any man I met until you walked in. There’s no one but you.”

He lifted his head and looked down at me, his eyes filled with love and a hint of renewed arousal. Yes, we’d definitely be going for one more time before we left this pool table.
