“It had to be the right one.”
“Well, did it ever get better?”
He nodded. “In a few weeks she was alright. Since then—” his eyes met mine “—my pinky promises are my most serious promises.”
“That’s sweet.”
He smiled ruefully.
We returned to the meal, and I prayed he'd forgotten about the beer.
When our plates were clear of dessert, I hopped to my feet, relieved. “I’ll help you clean this up.”
We stocked the fridge with the leftovers. Liam insisted on washing the dishes himself.
When he was done, he took my hand. My eyes narrowed, but I followed his lead.
He took us upstairs, past all the empty rooms, to his bedroom. Seeing the space where we’d made love last night had my body on fire.
But Liam didn’t stop by the bed. He walked straight through to the bathroom. It was pristine, unsurprisingly, and had a giant tub.
“You must be tired.” He stopped by the door, taking in my face.
His hands didn't caress my skin, but I felt him everywhere.
“I’ll run us a bath. You must be sore after the long day you’ve had. Take off your clothes.”
My breath caught in my throat. I moved into the bedroom to do as he asked.
My hands shook with every button I unfastened.
The light from the bathroom spilled out, and I looked up. Liam was undoing his cuffs and buttons, but his eyes were on me.
We watched each other get undressed. And with every inch of his skin that was revealed, my center grew a little wetter.
I was ready to put a fingertip there to ease the ache, but he reached for my hand.
In the steaming bathroom, he helped me into the tub, and a gasp left me. It was hot; almost too hot.
I leaned against the side, my muscles relaxing in the heated bath. It felt so good.
Liam got in the other end, and I glimpsed his hard length before he sank under the water. His arms rested on both sides of the tub, his chest wide and strong.
My pulse quaked. In my neck, my tummy, my center.
The water felt good, maybe a little too hot due to my pregnancy hormones. What I really wanted, though, was to be in Liam’s arms.
He leaned his head back and closed his eyes, exposing his glorious muscles. His Adam's apple bobbed, and the sudden need to lick his neck clutched my insides.
Before I could talk myself out of it, I moved toward him.
My thighs brushed his, and his eyes opened, head tilting up to look at me. Biting my lip, I crawled onto his lap.
A moan fell from my lips as my center grazed his shaft. I bobbed in the water, rubbing my folds against the underside.
Liam groaned and wrapped his arms around me, flattening my body against his chest. I licked his throat, tasting a hint of floral bath wash and a unique taste that was all his.
I kissed his smooth jawline all the way to his ear. His mouth claimed mine then, a sharp exhale leaving him.
