Stroking my face, he whispers with a heady groan, “I didn’t think this could happen to me. I was waiting. I was waiting for you to open me up and force me to feel something.”

“I know what you mean.” I sit back against the headboard, my legs splayed open.

“Hang on.” He hops off the bed and comes back from the bathroom with a warm washcloth. “Don’t move.”

I lose it when he strokes my aching center with a touch of heaven. “That feels so good.”

“I’ll always take care of you. Treat you like a princess. You may not want to wear a crown, but you’ll be the queen in this house if you stay with us. Me and Sophie.”

“Sure, drag the kid into it.”

“I didn’t say I’d play fair.” He finishes cleaning me, and we kiss again for a few moments, the magical feeling overwhelming me.

I’ve come alive since Darragh found me. I wanted freedom and fell into Cormac’s trap, but Darragh is the man I thought Cormac would be.

He’s offering me the kind of freedom he found, escaping his family.

My baby was the game changer. I didn’t expect to get pregnant. I must think of my unborn son. Now, before myself.

God, will he look like Darragh? I glimpse him kissing my thigh, his nose burrowed against my skin like he adores me.

Maybe… Maybe I’ll have the chance to create a new Bratva, born of Irish blood as well.

Darragh hops off the bed and opens one of my bureau drawers. He takes out the black satin nighty with red stitching he went back and bought me from the boutique yesterday.

“I’ve been dying to see you in this one.”

I lift my arms, allowing him to dress me in the nightgown, enjoying his pampering. Soaking in Darragh’s smile, I notice the box again.

“What is that?”

“Oh…” He picks it up, still naked, as if it’s perfectly normal to walk around looking like a god.

“I ordered this week’s groceries online. They were delivered before I came up here. This, too.” He tears into the box and pulls out something that looks like a big pillow.

“Is that?” My heart races with excitement.

“It’s a pregnancy sleep pillow.” He hands it to me. “Try it out.”

I lay back and tuck the pillow against me.

One, two, three… I just let my body tip into it.

“Jesus fucking Christ,” I moan, my eyes rolling in the back of my head. “That’s… That’s what I’ve been missing.”

“Just that?” Darragh leans across me.

“I didn’t miss whatever this is.” I motion between us. “I never had it with anyone.”

“What’s ‘it’?”

“Trust. Comfort. Understanding.”

“I didn’t think it was possible, but I feel the same way.” He smiles. “Speaking of trust, will you nanny Sophie for me until…”

It’s impossible to see so far out ahead, including having this baby out in the world screaming for my attention.

“I want to help, but I spoke out of turn in fear you’d get rid of me if I wasn’t useful.”
