“You didn’t before?”
 
 “I was best described as a meatavor.”
 
 He chuckled.
 
 She whispered, “Don’t you dare say anything.”
 
 He grinned.“I believe that Demuel and I would like to take you out for dinner.”
 
 “Make it after shift breakfast, and I am in.I would have to tell my roomie, but I can go for breakfast.”
 
 “Fine, but it will be both of us.”
 
 “Great.This time, I get some warning.”
 
 He grinned again.“I like you in this seeming.Your dark fae body is delightful, but the human appearance is cute.”
 
 She huffed.Her phone chirped.“Right.I am going to see if I can visit the woman I flew last night.”
 
 “Not before I taste you again.”
 
 “That is a weird caveat to my heading to work.”
 
 Myor laughed.“If you wonder, he doesn’t act like this with other ladies.”
 
 “I wasn’t wondering, but thanks.”
 
 He smiled.“So, a kiss?”
 
 “Oh, thank god.Yes, a kiss is fine.”
 
 Jennel burst out with a blast of laughter, and Myor went, “Oh.”
 
 Nylora put her hands on his arms as he lifted her up.He held her against him and grinned.
 
 She stared at him and took in his deer-like features, thick neck, and ears that could wiggle on their own.Nylora remembered hanging onto those horns for dear life, and the hours had flown by.His horns were more elk than deer.They had a lovely fuzzy covering.
 
 Solor murmured, “My eyes are down here.Stop staring at my rack.”
 
 She stopped remembering screaming and using the horns for leverage, and her gaze jerked to his.He was smiling softly.She leaned in and kissed him quickly.He stomped and pulled her in tight.The kiss turned into the pressure that she had offered, and she held his arms as he tilted his head, wrapped an arm around her, and gripped her tight ponytail with the other.
 
 At this proximity, he could definitely feel the bump under her concealment.His arm shifted as his tongue stroked hers, and her belly was in firm contact with his.He might be able to feel the kicking, but she wasn’t sure until one energetic wallop.The kiss froze, and he leaned back.He blinked.“There’s a baby in there.”
 
 “Yup.I know.Bump reminds me at every opportunity.”
 
 “Bump?”
 
 “Yup.Bump.Twelve more weeks until show time.”She smiled.
 
 Solor stared at her and said, “You are beautiful.”
 
 “Oh, pregnancy glow.It just means that I have a lot more blood than I used to, so I am all shiny.”She wrinkled her nose.“Also sweaty.”
 
 He smiled.“Gorgeous.”
 
 The next kiss was slow and thorough.She remembered his taste, the feel of his tongue, and the scent of his skin.This was just what she had been trying to avoid.Lust was rising, and it wasn’t hesitating.
 
 When the kiss paused, she tried not to press her thighs together.She swallowed and said, “I have a shift to get to, and so do you.Please put me down.”
