As the intensity eased, he slipped out and picked her up, carrying her through to the bathroom. He set her on the counter and ran them both a bath. The humidity in the room grew heavy, the rushing water the only sound.
“Did I hurt you at all?” He took her hand and led her to the tub. They eased in together, the water warm, soothing all her aches.
“I don’t think I sounded hurt, do you?” She turned in his lap, straddled his waist, and wrapped her arms around his neck. His big, hard body continually amazed her. “Never do that to me again. I love every single part of you.”
“What are we talking about?” he asked.
“You ignoring me and avoiding me. I don’t like it, and you don’t need to do it.” She stared into his eyes and smiled. “What did you think I was talking about?”
“Sex. Maybe the anal.”
She chuckled. “No, I wasn’t talking about sex.”
“You’re really okay with the wolf?” he asked.
“More than okay with it. He helped to save me. So he’s in my good books.”
“You realize we’re the same person, well, you know what I mean.”
Rebecca kissed him.
He leaned back, holding her waist in his hands. “I want you to move in with me.”
“I thought I already had.”
“No, officially. I want to go and get the rest of your stuff. No more apartment. You’re mine, and I want to take care of you. You and our baby.”
“We may not have made one just yet.”
He placed a hand to her stomach. “I wouldn’t be too sure about that.”
“But…”
“I didn’t use protection any time that I’ve been with you.”
She placed a hand over her stomach. “You mean?”
“I think you are. I’ve noticed you smelled a little different the past few days. I didn’t want to alarm you.”
Was she holding her breath? She was in shock. Rebecca wasn’t fit to be a mother—or was she? “You’ve known all this time?”
“Well, not all this time.”
“We’re going to have a baby?”
“Yes, and I want lots of them. I want to fill this house with them. You think you can handle that?”
“With you by my side, absolutely.”
He wrapped his arms around her and held her close. His lips took possession of hers, and she moaned, kissing him back with the same passion he showed her. She didn’t lie to him. This was where she wanted to be.
This was home.

Five months later
“I don’t like this,” Rebecca said. “What if someone sees?”
“You need to relax. The doctor said so, and it’s dark. The full moon is up, and you need to cool off. The heat isn’t doing you any good.” Liam removed his shirt and shorts, staring at his wife. She wore a giant dress that hid most of her body.
They had discovered just the other day that she wasn’t having just one child. Nope, his woman was going to give him twins. Two boys.
He was so fucking happy and proud right now.
In the moonlight, his wedding band glinted up at him. He was a happily married man, expecting twins, and completely at peace.
Grabbing the bottom of her dress, he started to lift it up.
She put her hands out to stop him. “No. You’ll see me naked.”
“Baby, I was the one that did this to you. I want to see my wife, pregnant or not.”
“I don’t know.”
“You’re the sexiest woman alive. My mate. My beautiful, sexy mate.” He ran his hands down her back, gripping the edge of the dress and then tore it open, throwing the discarded pieces of fabric to the ground.
“Liam!”
She went to cover her body, but he wasn’t having that. She didn’t need to hide from him. Taking hold of her hands, he held them away from her body. The light coming from the moon showed her body to perfection. Her rounded stomach was ripe with his children, and he couldn’t ignore those massive tits. His cock hardened just looking at them.
“Please,” she said.
“Look at me, baby. I love you.”
He took one of her hands and placed it over his rock-hard cock. “This is what you do to me. You are sexy as fuck. There’s no way in this world that you’ll ever repulse me. You’re perfect.”
“You keep saying that.”
“Because it’s the truth.” He led her toward the lake.
The cool water touched his legs, and he helped her in. The last few months had been perfect to him.
His pack were out patrolling the borders to keep them safe, not that he expected any other threat. Payne had been taken care of, and anyone who tried to take his female again, wouldn’t succeed. He’d fucking kill them.
She wrapped her arms around his neck, and he saw her pout. “My stomach is touching you.”
“I love it.”
In the past few weeks she’d gotten a little self-conscious about her body. She couldn’t sit up. Their babies were growing so fast. Of course, she was also bigger as she was carrying two children. They were big babies, which came with a whole host of problems. He wasn’t thinking about them now, but he was planning. There’s no way he’d ever be able to handle his woman leaving his side. So her care and attention had become the priority of the pack.
