He chuckled and glanced over his shoulder. “You make me sound old.”

“I do?” She squeezed him and released her hold on him before moving up and bumping him with her hip. “You're not old, but I think men get sexier with age.”

“You do, hmm?” He leaned in for a quick kiss on her cheek before turning and walking out into the living room. “My wife likes old guys. Interesting.”

She laughed. “I didn't say old guys. I said you.”

“So now you really are calling me old. I see how it goes.” His voice faded as he left her in the kitchen.

The silence was nice, and the lingering smell of garlic delicious. The evening couldn't have gone better. Being alone with Alex for a few hours with the two of them focused on each other was exactly what she needed. No talking about the office or Mark or her parents; just laughing and telling a few funny stories from their childhoods.

Jake moved up and rubbed his body along her leg before sniffing at her feet.

“You hungry buddy?” She walked to the table to get him a piece of sausage from Alex's pasta, but stopped at Alex cleared his throat.

“No feeding him people food. You know that.” He smirked as she turned to give him a look. “I knew he liked you better because you were breaking the rules for him. Typical woman.”

“What? He likes me better because I take him out for walks. He loves MacBane most of all.” She plucked a piece of sausage off her plate and knelt down, feeding it to Jake as she glanced up at Alex. “And don't tell me to follow the rules. It's the one thing that will ensure that I don't.”

“A rebel, hmm? Seems like I might have to break you of that.” He walked toward her and reached out, taking her arms in his hands as he leaned down and kissed her hard.

“Wow. What's all this aggressive bedroom talk about?” She pressed her hands to his chest before pushing his shirt over the thick swell of his shoulders. “I mean, I like it, but it's different.”

“I don't know. I just really like the idea of you being pregnant and belonging to me.” He smirked and leaned down to kiss her a few times. He moved the soft press of his lips from hers to run along the side of her neck.

Chill bumps raced over her skin, and she let out a subtle moan that earned her a growl. His mood was sexy, and something she planned to fully explore.

“Let's get you in the tub.” He moved back and took her hand. “You feeling good enough for me to spend some time reminding you just how much I adore your body?”

“Are you kidding me? I'd have to be on my deathbed to turn down that offer, and even then...”

He chuckled and turned off the kitchen light, tugging her to move up beside him as he intertwined his fingers with hers. “I can't wait until the babies are born.”

The sound of excitement in his voice caused her heart to constrict in her chest. Never in a million years would she have pegged 'Alex Reid - Most Eligible Bachelor' as a guy who wanted to hear the sound of little feet down the hall in the mornings, but that's exactly who he was.

“I can't either.” She paused by the room that would soon become the nursery, and flipped on the light. “I'm ready to start decorating for them. They're going to be here before we know it.”

He wrapped his strong arms around her and slid his hands over her tummy to cup her mound. “I think that's a great idea, but right now I want to practice making more babies. Stop denying me.”

“Deny you? Never.” She pressed her hands over his and undulated her hips, pressing herself against him. “I like the idea of us making babies. You're getting in the tub with me, right?”

“You want me to?” He moved back and tugged at her before turning and walking into their bedroom. She walked in behind him and closed the door as he started to work on his belt.

“Of course I do.” She tugged her dress over her head and slipped out of her panties before walking to the bathroom.

“Damn, you're fine, woman. So wicked hot.” He walked in behind her, surprising her by his nearness as he reached out and caressed her rear.

“I'm worried about gaining weight. It took so damn long to get it off.” She stepped into the warm bubble bath and let out a sigh as she sank down into the warmth it offered. “Damn, I love baths. Get in here before I melt.”

“No melting, please.” He got in behind her, lifting her up a little so he could reposition her between his thighs better.

She snuggled against him and leaned back as his arms encircled her again. The hardness of his erection pressed into her back, and she wiggled a little, trying to find a comfortable position.

“Hey. That wiggling around is stroking me. Not sure if we're being kinky, but whatever is happening, it's working.” He slid his hands over her sides to cup her breasts. His lips grazed her ear, and she shivered and slid back and forth, making more of an effort to tease him now that she knew it was getting to him.

“Good. I like the idea of driving you crazy with lust.” She turned her face enough to gain access to his soft lips.

He pressed his mouth to hers, cupping her chin and working her lips open with his tongue before diving in deep. A moan rolled from her as she arched into his touch and enjoyed the way he made love to her mouth so expertly.
