“Girl, you better not hide from me. I’m going to smack your sweet little ass and give you a good talking to if you hide from me.”

“I’m not hiding,” I hear her say through the green, lush trees. Everything is wet and dewey and alive under the setting sun.

“Well I can’t find you,” I say, looking over my shoulder.

“What are you going to do if you catch me?” Her sweet voice echoes between the trees, bouncing around among them, like it’s part of the landscape.

She is. She’s part of the landscape of my heart, of my mind.

“If I can’t catch you, you’re going to get a stern punishment. And if I can...then you’re going to get a stern punishment.”

I turn around again when I hear her laughing, and I can see her bright smile in my mind.

“Promise?”

Val pops out from behind a tree, pointing her paintball rifle right at my chest.

I laugh, putting up my hands slowly.

“You’re the boss,” I say, “and you’ve got me painted into a corner. So I’ll do whatever you tell me to do.”

“I think shooting you would be too much of an empty formality,” she says, pointing her rifle away from me and starting to walk toward me. “I don’t need to shoot you.”

“What do you want to do instead?” I say, linking arms with her. “Hot bath? How about some of my famous pasta?”

“I was thinking of something else,” she coos, her fucking sexy voice teasing me. “I was thinking something to commemorate our first day together. It was a year ago.”

“You say that like it’s even within the realm of possibility for me to have forgotten. And anyway, I thought this outing you organized was to commemorate our first day together.”

“Oh, I see,” she teases me, giggling. “Well that’s fine, if you want to just go to bed when we get home.”

“Fuck no,” I say, spinning her around and kissing her. “Fuck. No.”

She jumps up on me, wrapping her legs around my waist, putting her arms around my neck, and I get hard as a fucking diamond when I feel her little body grinding against mine.

I push her against a tree, our mouths crushing together, our tongues slipping against each other’s in a kiss that is fucking hot and wanting and needing as our first. And it’s warm out tonight, the air is like silk dancing against our skin, and I put her down on the ground so I can slip her little black panties to the side.

She gasps as I push my fingers against her skin, finding her clit.

“You are already soaked,” I growled. “I still make you fucking wet.”

“Here, though?” she mewls sweetly, biting her bottom lip.

“This is my mountain, and you are my queen. Now get down on your knees baby.”

And she drops down against the tree, her luscious blonde hair flowing wildly between my fingers as she yanks my zipper down and pulls out my cock.

It’s a fucking glorious sight to behold as she opens up her lips and sucks me into her mouth, my precum coating her tongue, her throat.

She pumps at me furiously before getting up, and I scoop her ass up into my hands, pinning her against the tree again.

“I am going to fuck you senseless, and I am going to paint the inside of your pussy with my seed. You ready, baby?”

I push into her tight cunt and she gasps, throwing her head forward into my shoulder as I push her legs open.

“I want you to cum deep inside me, Cole. Deep. But...”

“But what, love? What is it?”

“I...I am already pregnant.”

“What?”

My heart fucking soars.

We had her go off birth control last month because we wanted to start trying. But we didn’t think it would happen right away. Not during the first month.

I had no fucking idea it would happen right away.

And this is my dream come true.

“Val, I love you,” I growl into her ear, my sweet lovely girl holding onto me tight. “And even if there’s already a baby growing inside you, that’s not going to stop me from pumping my cum deep inside you. I want to mark you every single chance I get.”

“Please do it Cole, please,” she begs. “Please. Make everyone know I’m yours. I’m so...happy.”

I reach down between us and I catch her clit against my fingers, and as I feel her cumming, my cock explodes deep inside her, depositing my seed deep inside.

And I’ll never stop. I’ll never stop loving her.

She’ll never stop loving me.

She’ll never stop being my Val. My Valoria. My Valentine.

And right now, we’re only just starting.

But wait! Val and Cole found their HEA, but there’s more plenty more for you to read. Turn the page - two steamy bonus novellas are coming up next!
