“All by yourself?”

“I might have a little help,” I said with a smirk. “But you shouldn’t doubt my skills after what I did to your home back in the other realm.”

She laughed. “Good point.”

“We can design it together,” I continued. “Make plans and...” I swallowed. “I would love to do this as your husband.”

“Yeah, I can see it now. We can...” She then stopped and her brow knit together. “Wait...what?”

There was no taking it back now. “I want you to be my wife. Katerina, will you marry me?” I reached into my pocket and pulled out the simple yet elegant ring I’d purchased in town earlier with Dymitri.

I slowly got down on one knee. “You’re all I’ve ever dreamed of, and I would be the luckiest man alive to call you my wife. I’m already so fortunate that we’re starting a family. Let’s make this dream official.”

She brought a hand to her mouth. “I... Lucian... of course! Yes, yes, I’ll marry you!”

She wrapped her arms around my shoulders and leaned down and kissed me. I got to my feet and kissed her, not holding back any of my passion. I lifted her into my arms and carried her over to a blanket I’d spread out over the grass. The goal had been to recreate the picnic she had made for me the day she’d told me of her pregnancy.

Katerina picked up on it right away. “You remembered every detail.” She gasped. “Even the color of the blanket.”

“I remember everything you do,” I admitted. I set her down carefully then joined her. “Especially something so kind.”

Tears pooled in her eyes, and she kissed me. “Never leave me again, okay? Even if I say something stupid, I can’t stand the thought of you going.”

“As you wish.” I crushed my mouth to hers again, hungry and desperate to show her the depth of my love.

It was summer in my realm, and although it was still cool, this unusually warm day made my plans to seduce her very possible.

Words were not always easy for me, but actions? With those, I could get my message across. The dragon inside of me was burning for his mate, and I couldn’t agree more. We’d waited long enough.

I put my hand up her skirt and pulled down her panties, pleased to feel her wetness against my fingers as I did so. Then I ripped open my pants. She helped release my cock from his confines and climbed on top of me. I let out a quiet growl as I pulled her down the fullness of my cock, impaling her fully. She let out a soft whimper of pleasure.

I cupped her full breasts as she rode me. Her fingers dug into my chest, and mine swept over her curves. Her waist, her swollen belly.

She moaned against my lips as she leaned down and kissed me. I cherished every touch. I pulled off her blouse and freed her breasts from her bra.

We loved one another until we were spent.

I panted, breathless and tried to keep her on me for as long as possible. She slowly, reluctantly, rolled off and laid down beside me.

“I’ve missed you,” I said. “The taste of you. The feel of you.”

“Now I feel like we’ve officially made up,” she said with a sigh. “Is that weird?”

“Not at all.” I felt exactly the same way.

She kissed my nose and pulled her clothes back on. Katerina carefully adjusted her blouse, and much to my disappointment, returned to being fully dressed. “I had something I wanted to talk to you about.”

“Ah, yes, you did mention that earlier,” I said as I rolled onto my side to face her.

“Yes, and you almost successfully distracted me from it!” She giggled, then her expression went serious, and I couldn’t help but worry. Katerina cleared her throat. “When I was at the doctor, they took a lot of pictures of the baby. They also were able to find out the sex.”

My eyes lit up at the idea. “And?”

“I haven’t actually looked,” she said.

“What stopped you?” I asked quietly.

“After you told me how hurt you were for not being involved, I decided it should be something we should do together or not at all.” She reached over for her purse and pulled out an envelope. “What do you think? Should we find out? Or be surprised?”
