Kate shakes her head. “Oh, no, you don’t.”

I raise my brow as I push the back door open with my foot. “I don’t get to practice?”

“You can practice all you want, but I will not be carrying the football team in this body.”

“Why not? I think you’ll look hot pregnant when your belly gets all round.”

I could see it already in my head. Kate with a big belly. Kate with a small bundle in her arms. She’s going to be a wonderful mother.

Entering our bedroom, I turn on the switch, the dim light illuminating our room. Somebody came in to clean after Kate got ready. The sheets were new, with rose petals covering the bed.

“I’m serious, Emmett. I’m not birthing a whole football team. You can get two.”

“Five,” I counter instantly, placing the box gently on the nightstand before placing Kate on her feet. I tug off my tie, tossing it away along with my jacket.

“Three.” Kate’s eyes gleam with desire as she watches me unbutton my shirt. “And that’s your final offer, Mr. Santiago.”

“You sure?” I ask, grabbing the back of my shirt and pulling it over my head.

Kate hums, her gaze glued to my abs. “I know what you’re trying to do, and it’s not working. I’ve seen it all, Mr. Santiago. Actually, if I have it correctly,” she moves closer, her hands roaming over my burning skin. “All of this? It’s mine already. Three kids. Take it or leave it.”

“Fine. Three. Now…” I turn her back to me, my mouth placing a kiss on the side of her neck. “Let’s get to practicing, Mrs. Santiago.”

Slowly I work my way down the buttons on her back, each flick of my wrist revealing a new patch of skin. I kiss inch by inch of her back, enjoying the little shivers that pass through her as my breath tickles her skin.

“I wanted to do this since the moment I saw you,” I whisper as I gently turn her to face me, helping her get out of the dress and letting it fall on the ground.

“You hated the dress that much?” Kate asks jokingly.

I take in her almost naked body. She’s wearing a pristine white lacy bra, her breasts spilling over the edge of it, and a matching pair of panties. Looking at her now, I could see the subtle changes to her body already; how I didn’t notice them until now, I’ll never know.

“Oh, I loved the dress, but I love you more out of it.” My eyes roam her, taking in every inch of her body. “So much more,” I whisper, my eyes falling down to the ground.

And boots.

Freaking fuck-me cowboy boots.

I let out a loud groan, and I can hear Kate chuckle. “You like these?” she extends her leg, showing off the freaking boots.

Picking her up, I place her on the bed. “We’re keeping these on.”

Pressing my knee on the mattress, I lean down and kiss her. Kate lets out a soft moan, her arms wrapping around my shoulders as she pulls me closer. I let my hand slide down her side, feeling the curve of her body, her still flat stomach, the fullness of her breasts.

Her back arches off the mattress, so I use the moment to unclasp her bra. Breaking the kiss, Kate lets out a small sigh of relief. “That feels good.”

“I didn’t even do anything yet,” I chuckle, sliding my mouth down her neck, licking and nibbling as my hands cup her full breasts, making her groan. “Hurts?”

“A little,” she admits. “They’ve been so sensitive lately.”

Leaning down, I press my mouth against the valley between her breasts before moving to her right one and gently sucking on her nipple.

Kate’s fingers dig into my shoulders as she pushes into my touch, her nipple hardening almost instantly. I tease her a little longer before switching to her other breast, repeating the process all over again.

“Shit, Emmett, I need…”

Her breath hitches as I graze my teeth over the sensitive flesh, pulling back. “What do you need, baby?”

She gives my shoulders a squeeze before moving her hands upward, her fingers sliding into my hair. “You.”
