She swallows hard. “She was scary. Beautiful, but real cold. She said leaving me and dad was the best thing—maybe the only good thing—she ever did. She knew we were two real good people, and she was just gonna screw up our lives. She said Zach did a great job of raising me.”
At last, Kayla lifts her head and meets my eyes. “I know you’re supposed to be together. I think I knew it even as I was freaking out back there. You’re just right for each other. Any fool could see that.”
“Thanks, Kayla, that means a lot,” I reply, my heart lifting.
We spenda long time at the dinner table, eating and catching up, then Kayla stays the night in her old room.
The next morning, she leaves, promising to bring her mate the next time she comes.
Zach and I watch her negotiate the snowy road in her truck. Then we return to the cabin. Our cabin. And fall into each other’s arms.
I feel his chest rise and fall. “Thank goodness,” I say.
He strokes my hair with his big hand. “That was the missing piece, the only thing I was worried about.”
I tilt my head back. There’s something different in his eyes. A brand-new peace. His soul is lighter, too. I feel it in my own—that charge of electricity connecting the two of us.
I stroke his beard with my fingertips. “Everything’s perfect now,” I murmur.
“It sure is,” he says happily. Then he sweeps me right off my feet and carries me along the passageway. Back to finish what we started.
EPILOGUE
Three months later
“Will you still be attracted to me when my belly’s all big and swollen?” I say. We’re lying in bed in the cabin, and Zach is snuggling me in his massive arms, nuzzling my neck with morning kisses.
“More than ever.” He runs his big hand over my stomach. “It’ll be so sexy.”
Tingles of delight run through me. I can’t believe how much he wants me. He takes me at least three times every day, and the desire in his eyes only gets stronger. Under his gaze I feel like the most beautiful woman in the world.
“What about when my boobs get really big?”
“Uh huh.” He cups them, chafing my nipples in that way he knows drives me wild. “I can’t wait until they’re full of milk.”
I bite back a moan. “How about when my pussy shuts down?”
He stills for a beat, uncertainty flickering in his eyes. “That part doesn’t happen.”
I giggle. “It might. When she gets bigger, there won’t be space for your johnson.”
“Is that right?” He flips around, and suddenly, my legs are spread, and his stubble is grazing my thighs. “There’s not a whole lot of space anyway.”
“There’s just enough—” I sigh as he plants kisses on the sensitive skin of my inner thighs. He’s so big, but somehow my pussy manages to accommodate him. Because it was made for him, as he likes to tell me.
“Or, if you’re worried, I could just go down on you until the baby comes.” He dips his head and lashes my clit with his tongue.
“Ohhh—” I moan. “Remind me what that’s like?”
With a growl, he dives right in. His skillful tongue rides my arousal, driving me to the brink. It’s not long before I’m clutching at his hair, and crying out his name as Iexplode. Sunlight is coming through the curtains, but all I can see is stars.
“Nope,” I say, a minute later.
Zach raises himself up and gives me a questioning look.
I take him in, his huge, hard cock jutting out between his muscular thighs, and a grin spreads across my face. “I still need your johnson.”
A feral sound escapes his lips and in another second, he’s on me, eyes blazing with lust. He holds me down as he impales me with his thick cock. Just how I like it. My sexy older mate, possessing me again.
