“Ryan, you’re being ridiculous. I’m not even showing yet.” His glare is enough to scare the crew, but this is me. I don’t back down. Not from anyone. Including the man I love.
“You’re going to take time off. I just want to you get through this first trimester.”
“And what do you know about getting through this? You’re a man.” Crossing my arms in front of my chest, I meet his glare with one of my own. He’s going to be as bad as Callum.
“I’ve Googled.” He retorts indignantly.
“Ugh, you’re insufferable,” turning, I head into the studio to grab my laptop. He’s not going to stop me from at least sending out our marketing emails, as well as sorting out the hotels for the next few shows.
“Baby,” his voice is low behind me, but I don’t turn around. I feel his body heat behind me and before I know it, his arms are wrapped around me. His big hands splay on my belly as he circles it with the gentlest of touches. “I just want you and the babies safe and healthy.”
“I know Ryan, but I can still do my job.” Turning in his arms, I meet his gaze that’s filled with so much love I’m breathless.
“I want to show you something. Sit down,” he gestures to the sofa, then makes his way to the keyboard that’s set up for the recording session later.
“What are you doing?” Furrowing my brow, I watch him settle behind the instrument. When those dark eyes pierce me with a stare that’s filled with amusement, I can’t help wondering what he’s hiding up his sleeve.
“Just listen,” he murmurs, then starts playing.
Friends turn to lovers,
Fragile turns to forever,
I chose you,
I want you
Between want and fear,
I need you more,
No more what ifs,
No more another time,
Because it’s ours
Between want and fear
You’re mine now
Maybe turns to Yes,
You’ve given me all,
Release your fear,
You want me too
Between want and fear,
I need you more,
No more what ifs,
No more another time,
Because it’s ours
Between want and fear
You’re mine now
When he stops I can’t breathe. My heart is erratic, beating its way from my chest wanting to mold itself to his. “Ryan, I…”
“It’s something small. I don’t normally write, but…” He shrugs, then meets my teary gaze. “I wanted to tell you how much I love you in words. In a song that will be immortalized forever.” He rises from the piano stool and reaches for my hands.
“You’re amazing. I’m sorry it took me so long to let you in. I’ve always been scared. Losing someone I love isn’t something I’d ever want to go through again. Losing you, I’m not sure I’d survive it.” I tell him honestly.
“I’ll always be here, baby. For you and our babies.” Leaning up on my tip toes, I crash my lips to his earning me a low growl. His hands trail down my hips, gripping the cheeks of my ass, he lifts me up against his body. Walking us back toward the desk, he sits me down settling himself between my legs.
“Ryan, we can’t in here…” I whisper when he finally breaks the kiss.
“Baby, I’ll worship your body anywhere I want. Sit back, and spread those pretty legs. I’m starving and I’d like to devour my soon-to-be wife’s sweet pussy.” He growls with a low rumble as he places hands on my thighs, splaying them. “Such pretty panties,” he murmurs as he slides the material to the side.
“Ryan, we—”
“Shh, baby, all I want to do is eat you until you’re screaming. So, the only words that are going to be falling from those rosy lips will be my name, or “oh God more, Ryan”. Is that understood?”
I nod. I can’t find words to respond when his mouth then crashes down on my core, lapping and licking at the arousal that’s just for him. His fingers tease, his tongue taunts, and his warm breath has me teetering on the edge suddenly needing release.
The man completely consumes me. He feasts until I’m shuddering, gripping his hair tugging him closer as my hips undulate against his face and my cries echo around us. And as he ordered, it’s his name that the whole house has now heard me screaming at the top of my lungs.
My man.
My love.
My forever.
