to say between her sobs. They watched the rest of the show before strolling hand in hand to the room that Zack had surprised her with. When they got into the suite, Zack threw the balcony doors open to the fresh, salty breeze that ruffled the soft, white lacey curtain. When he turned, Jordyn was standing behind him and she wrapped her arms around his thick waist and laid her head against his chest.
    “I love you,” she whispered.
    “What?” he said and lifted her face to his with a finger under her chin.
    “Zack Hennessey, I love you. I married you not because I needed your protection; we could’ve figured something out,” she said, “but because in my heart I could see myself spending the rest of my life with you. So I love you, Commander.”
    He smiled ear to ear. “I’ve been waiting for that, waiting until I could say it without thinking I would scare you. Damn, baby, I love you more than any man could love a woman.”
    He kissed her long and deep and Jordyn relaxed into his kiss until she felt the wetness of desire pool between her legs. She moaned into his mouth as his tongue slipped between her lips to taste her deeper.
    “I want you,” he said when he lifted his head.
    “Dr. Patel said that it’s okay, just no tricks,” she said in a husky, teasing voice.
    He lifted her easily into his arms as if she weighed nothing even though she was pregnant and she felt like a very heavy, fine piece of porcelain in his arms. He was kissing her along her jaw and neck when he placed her on the bed and leaned over to unbutton the tiny pearl buttons on the front of her shirt.
    “I’m going to make love to you nice and slow like you deserve,” he said as he helped her shrug out of her top and unhook her bra.
    His words alone made her tremble and she gasped when his finger flicked across her engorged nipple after he took off her bra and let it fall to the floor. Her body had changed, her breasts were much fuller. Zack groaned as if an ache was relieved when he filled his hands with the smooth chocolate globes. He finished undressing her, placing kisses in different areas. Zack stood and took off his own clothes until he was very naked and his cock stood erect. Her breath caught as he turned off the light and the moonlight bathed him. He was magnificent with smooth and defined muscles. She wondered how she ever became so lucky to be the woman he loved. He came over to the bed and lay down beside her. For minutes they just stared at each other.
    “You’re beautiful,” he said simply and put his hand on her naked belly. “Thank you for this gift. You and Marianne have filled something in me that was empty for so long.”
    “Thank you for being my hero, for showing me that I don’t have to be alone,” she whispered. “I do love you.”
    “We’re going to be parents,” he chuckled. “I never thought I’d get to say those words.”
    Jordyn laughed softly. “Say that at three a.m. when she needs a bottle and a diaper change.”
    “I’ll sign up for that duty right now,” he said firmly.
    “Now that’s love,” she teased and rested her hand on his cheek.
    Zack kissed her so gently that tears pricked behind her eyes. Jordyn made a soft sound as the kiss deepened with passion. She clung to his thick biceps as his tongue penetrated her mouth hungrily and he rose up on his elbows to take more from the kiss. “I cherish you, I cherish you so much,” Zack repeated the words reverently between kisses. He cupped her sex and she lifted her hips to the heat of his hand. She felt his finger slip between the lips of her pussy and she shuddered in his arms.
    “I’m dying to be inside you,” he groaned against her breast. “It’s torture.”
    “Then do it,” she whispered.
    “Not yet, darling. I’ve waited for this too long to rush it like some randy teen,” Zack said in a voice husky with desire.
    He cupped her breasts and licked at each nipple. After sucking the tip of one into his mouth he made a sound of
