She pressed her hips toward his touch. “Always.”
Luke kissed her hungrily as he began working open her corset. He hurried with her laces and pulled the garment from her body, dropping it over the side of the chaise without breaking his lips from hers. He ran his hands along her bare waist, squeezing and caressing her skin. She ground her hips against his. With a moan, he worked her panties down over her hips. He felt her fingers working deftly to unzip his pants, and as he discarded her underwear, she gave his waistband a swift tug.
“So very impatient,” Luke teased. He shed his pants and boxers and tossed them to the floor.
“Can you blame me?” Rose asked breathlessly. She bit her lip. “Take me. Please.”
Luke let out a growl. For an instant, he considered asking if she was certain she didn’t want to move to the bed, but from where he hovered over her, she seemed pretty damned sure. Besides, they had the rest of the night for the bed. He ran his hands along her legs, not bothering to remove her heels, and he kissed her fiercely as he slid into her and began to move. Rose groaned into his mouth and rocked upward to meet him.
Absolutely perfect, he thought as he felt the bliss of her body surrounding him—the soft brush of her fingers in his hair. He sped up his thrusts. Her legs wound around him once again, and he braced himself with an arm resting beside her head as his other hand rubbed and caressed her breasts in turn.
“Rose,” he breathed against her lips.
“Ohh—Luke—”
With each passing moment, their breathing grew louder and harder, and he reveled in the feeling of her body so tight around him as he rocked. He never tired of it, never found he could have enough of her.
“I love you,” Rose muttered.
“I love—you, too,” Luke ground out, struggling to keep moving past the pleasure threatening to consume him but determined to ensure she reached climax first. He released her breast to grip the back of the chaise in an attempt to steady himself.
All at once, Rose let out a loud moan as she tightened around him. Luke followed her over the edge, and he paused, trying desperately to catch his breath.
She sighed softly. “You never asked why I didn’t want the wine.”
Luke pulled back just enough to take in the sight of her beautiful face. Her cheeks were flushed, and her lips were parted as she fought to catch her breath. “Why didn’t you?”
She held his gaze, and slowly, a smile broke over her lips. “Take a guess,” she said.
A few seconds passed in silence apart from their breathing, and a thought clicked into place in his mind. He blinked. The last time she’d avoided alcohol completely…
“You’re… are you…?”
“We’re going to have to find a fun way to tell Eden she’s going to be a big sister.”
All at once, Luke’s eyes stung with tears, and he dropped down beside Rose and pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly. His little family was already perfect—the love of his life and a daughter he adored. But he couldn’t express how delighted he was by this news. He held Rose close, as he knew he would for the rest of his life. “I love you so much,” he whispered.
