Five days after I left to attend to business just outside of New York, I’m walking through my front door eager to see Sirena. I’ve missed her like crazy and for the first time in my life I just wanted to be elsewhere instead of inside one of my luxury hotels. The Hudson Group wasn’t as large as the Hilton, but the eighteen hotels that I’d built up around the world had done extremely well for themselves and had a fantastic reputation and a high-class clientele.

Until I’d met Sirena, I was happy to go from hotel to hotel, now though, I just want to be home with the woman who has entered my heart as quick as lightening. I hadn’t been looking for anyone, but here she is, in my heart and soul to stay and I couldn’t be happier . . . or I could . . .

I want everything with Sirena and soon I’m going to have to explain just what I want so that there is no misunderstanding between us. I want the woman first and then I want her child to be mine too. I want to give her everything that the bastard who she’d married should have given her. But his misfortune is my gain.

Placing my bag and briefcase at the door to my office, I quickly search downstairs for Sirena, and not finding her, I head upstairs wondering if she’s taking a nap.

She had no clue that I was coming home today until I’d called her from the airport. I wanted to surprise her especially with how our Facetime call had ended last night. She’d seemed down, even though she tried to hide it. It was seeing her so glum that had finally seen me passing orders on to my hotel manager instead of being there myself. I’d decided that I needed to be home.

The Hudson on the Lake has undergone a large extension so that the hotel could cater for larger weddings, and within the next month it would be completely operational. The new wedding planner and additional staff were currently being trained at The Hudson Grand in Niagara Falls, and would soon be heading back to New York to get everything ready for the opening party. I had a lot on my plate as always, but now I was seriously thinking about cutting back and appointing someone to take over, so that I would be traveling a lot less.

Everything flies out of my mind the moment I push open the bedroom door. I hadn’t even been thinking about sex when I came looking for Sirena, but seeing her in a purple negligee that is transparent enough for me to see the dark areoles surrounding the hard tips of her nipples, sends my brain straight in that direction.

“You don’t need to say it. I look ridiculous. I’m just over seven months pregnant. I’m huge and so not sexy no matter what I wear,” Sirena says, and I finally clear my head of the lust swirling around inside of it when she swings her legs to the side of the bed, struggling to sit up.

I quickly move and drop to my knees in front of her, spreading her thighs so that I can get closer. My hands caress over her belly as her breath catches. Wrapping my arms around her, I kiss the baby bump, which has somehow grown in my absence, and tell her, “You are the most beautiful woman that I’ve ever seen.” I kiss her again. “Seeing you lying on the bed in this,” I grab a handful of the silky garment, “sent all thoughts flying out of my head, and,” I stand and quickly make fast work of removing my clothing, “you made me rock hard. The minute I saw you, my mind went straight to sex. It went straight to your nipples as I wondered what they’d taste like—the same or different.”

Her hand reaches out, wrapping around my erection that throbs and leeks precum at the touch of her fingers. “That feels amazing,” I admit, rubbing the tight buds of her nipples.

My body goes taut when I feel her mouth on the crown of my shaft. “I’m so close to coming. I want you with me.”

Her eyes flare as her hands reach up toward the ribbon holding the negligee together.

“Stop!” I hiss, and soften my tone. “I want to be the one to remove that from your body.” My eyes slowly move over her and my heart beats so quickly that I’m afraid I’m going to have a heart attack. “You,” I urge her back to the bed so that she’s in a lying position, “have no idea just how sexy you are.”

Her eyes widen in surprise. “I’m a lump.”

“Sirena . . .” I groan and kneel between her spread thighs, which is becoming one of my favorite places. “You have the most amazing thing happening to your body—a miracle. I love your shape. I love how your belly quivers at my touch. I love how you open up to me, how you trust me. Don’t ever be shy in front of me, because I’ll only ever love you.”

“What?”

I smile softly and splitting the negligee, kiss her belly as her soft flesh becomes bared to me before I finally reach her mouth. Hovering over her plump lips, I repeat, “I love you, Sirena . . . and if you’ll let me, I’ll love your baby too.”

The shock of my words is clear to see on her beautiful face, but slowly a smile starts to appear and then she’s crying in my arms. I slip down to lie beside her and tug her into my embrace where she cups my face in her much smaller hands.

“I love you Garrett, and you’ve no idea how much it means to me to hear you say that you love me and my baby. I want . . .”

“Don’t stop,” I encourage when she stops and buries her face into my neck. “What do you want, Sirena? Please tell me, I’ll give you anything within my means.”

Her tears slowly ebb, and she says, “I want you to be the father of my baby. I don’t want to keep referring to it as my baby. I want to refer to it as our baby.” She smiles through more tears. “I know it’s a lot to ask of someone but I think that’s what you want, right? I mean I want you to be my baby’s father more than anything, but I don’t want to—”

“Shush.” I dip my head and capture her lips because I have no other words right now. My heart feels full and deepening the kiss, I slowly open the ribbon at her breast and cupping one firm globe, I brush my thumb over a nipple. Sirena arches into my touch as my hand traces over her swollen belly and finds the wet arousal between the lips of her pussy.

“I want you inside of me, but I don’t know how.” Tears hover in her eyes and smiling, I kiss each one before I kneel between her legs.

“I’ll show you how.” Tugging her hips closer to mine, I hold my shaft at her entrance and slowly slide the head of my cock inside of her. Her muscles tighten and clench around me so tightly that my eyes roll. Holding her still, I slowly sink all the way in. At the feel of her surrounding me, I’m afraid one twitch from Sirena will have me coming.

Looking down at Sirena spread out before me while my dick is buried so deeply inside of her wet heat has me excited beyond anything I’ve felt before. Her luscious pregnancy curves make my mouth water and watching her stretch with her hands above her head, has her clenching my flesh so tightly that I feel my orgasm rushing forward like a freight train. Nothing is going to hold it back now.

“Sirena,” I hiss and grabbing her hips to keep her close, I grind against her pussy. “Please come with me . . . I need you to . . .”

She does . . . The tight convulsions around my flesh tell me to let go, and let go I do. My semen is pulled out of me as pleasure takes over my body. My cock kicks and jerks in the heat of her swollen pussy while I gasp for breath amidst the most intense orgasm. It takes minutes for me to get my bearings and when I do, I’m slowly rocking inside of Sirena, my dick only halfway in. The head must be rubbing against a sensitive spot because Sirena gasps every time. I feel her eyes on me but mine are on the rippling of her belly as the baby moves and seems to somersault from one side to the other.

“Our baby is energetic,” I observe, slowly sliding free of heaven.

“I love the sound of you saying our baby.” She bites her lip and continues as I lay beside her, “Are you sure it’s what you want?”

Smiling, I tug her into my arms, and once comfortable, I say, “Let me put all the cards on the table, okay? And, in doing that, I’m also going to admit that your sister told me that I needed to tell you what I wanted because apparently she thought you were depressed not believing that I wanted the same as you do.”

I tilt her chin and kiss her nose and then her sweet lips. “What I want is for you to marry me as soon as you are free to do so. I want to be the father of the baby you are carrying, with my name on the birth certificate, along with an adoption as soon as he or she is born. I want you to continue to look at me the way that you do for the rest of my life, and most of all, I want to make you the happiest wife on this earth. You’ll never want for anything, and you’ll always have my love.”

“Oh,” Sirena mumbles and ends up crying all over my chest for what feels like a long time but is probably only a few minutes. “You always say the sweetest stuff to me, and I’m like a faucet whilst I’m pregnant.” She sniffles into a tissue and finally holds my gaze. “I love you Garrett Hudson, and I want everything that you want too. I’m going to be the perfect wife who loves you more than you’ve ever been loved before. Our son or daughter are going to be so lucky to have you as their father, and maybe in a year or two we can give them a brother or sister.”

I hold her close and kiss her forehead. “I’ll give you anything you want . . . Last night when we spoke, I sensed you weren’t yourself. Was it the unknown future with me that had you down? Or is it something else?”

“I haven’t been able to order anything for the baby other than the clothes you brought home the other week. I wasn’t sure about where to put them, and I wanted to start getting a nursery ready, but didn’t know where I should do that. I just felt unsure of everything.”

“I’m sorry.” I pull the covers over us as I feel Sirena shiver in my arms. “I was waiting for the opportunity, and I’d decided that when I got back from New York that I’d show you where I thought was best for the nursery. I was hoping that it would open the talk about the future as well.”

“I’m glad everything is out and in the open, and from now on can we promise to talk to each other instead of wondering?”

“Yes.” I kiss her forehead. “Go to sleep Sirena. Tomorrow is going to be a beautiful day. First, I get to show you the room that we can decorate as a nursery. Then we’ll see our baby at the ultrasound followed with some shopping. We have a nursery to fill and I have a ring to buy.”
