help but to laugh at her. The night had gone so well, and everyone seemed to be in relatively good moods. Even Arnold had managed to keep his opinions to himself and made it through the dinner without making any remarks about Natalie. Thank Urseth.
    “Well, I’m glad that everyone enjoyed the pasta bake. It’s the first recipe I’ve tried out of the cook book your mother gave me. Did you like it?”
    Lorcan turned the faucet off, his eyes soon landing on Presley’s beautiful face as he smirked.
    “Of course I liked it,” he said softly. “But I’m really looking forward to that dessert you promised me.”
    He took pleasure in watching the heat rush into Presley’s cheeks. She was too adorable to handle sometimes. He immediately pulled her into his arms as his lips brushed against her forehead.
    “I’m just teasing,” he mumbled against her smooth skin. “If you’re not in the mood, I won’t push it.”
    Presley pulled back, staring at him with a frown on her lips.
    “Who said I wasn’t in the mood?” She asked. “Believe it or not, I think pregnancy makes me more…..open to the idea than usual.”
    “Oh, really ?” Lorcan asked huskily. He scooped her up in his arms, carrying her bridal style down the short hallway that led to their bedroom. They didn’t have much-yet-but they did have a nice queen sized bed. It was the one he’d had when he lived with Liam in town, but now it was here and that was okay. Of course, that meant Rutley didn’t have a bed to sleep in since he and Dimitri had taken over residency at the apartment, but…..
    “Lorcan!” Presley gasped, squirming beneath him as his lips attacked her neck. “That tickles.”
    He chuckled, careful to keep his weight off her as his knees dug into the mattress. He kissed down to her collarbone and nipped playfully before lifting his head to gaze at her.
    “Do you want me to stop?” He asked, drinking in the sight of her flustered skin and sparkling eyes.
    “I’ll kill you if you do.” She smiled, moving her hand to the back of his neck and pulling his lips down to her own. She kissed him sweetly, but he could feel the hunger growing inside her. The scent of her arousal screamed out to him, and Lorcan would answer the call.
    “Oh, Lorcan.” Presley whimpered as he made his way down her body. He kissed between her breasts, pushing her shirt upwards before planting a softer kiss just above her bellybutton. Their baby was in there. He could hear its tiny heartbeat. It made his heart jump and do backflips.
    “I love you,” Lorcan whispered before lifting his eyes to gaze at Presley. “And I love you, too.”
    Presley was gazing at him. Her green eyes were filled with love and Lorcan couldn’t thank Urseth enough that her love was for him and their cub. He was a damn lucky man.
    “I love you.” Presley whispered, allowing her head to fall back against the pillow as Lorcan carefully unbuttoned her jeans and peeled them away from her legs.
    It wasn’t long before their clothes were piled up on the floor, and Lorcan sank between her legs. He pressed a kiss against her hip bone and traveled back to her lips as he rubbed his pulsating length against her inner thigh.
    “Oh, please.” Presley whispered. Her small, warm hands glided up and down his muscular arms as he caught her lips in another kiss.
    She would never have to ask twice.
    Lorcan pushed his hips forward, burying himself in the heated sanctuary he liked to call home. Presley’s moan was stifled against his mouth as he kissed her again, thrusting gently as the mattress creaked beneath them.
    “Oh, yes,” Presley panted as she raked her nails down his back. “Don’t stop. Please don’t stop, baby.”
    “Never.” He promised. He kept his weight off of her as his hips connected with her thighs again and again. His heart was hammering against his ribcage as he nipped at her jawline, listening intently to the sound of her breathing.
    “Lorcan!” She gasped, arching her back
