He lifted his head, her nipple coming free from the suction of his mouth with a pop. He circled her clit again with his thumb, harder, faster, drawing out her pleasure and then removing his finger right before she went over the edge.
“Fuck me already,” she begged.
He didn’t know if he could have held out much longer anyway, but he liked teasing her, liked having her so on edge she was pleading with him. Pressing his mouth onto hers, he felt her shake. He swallowed her cry of pleasure, feeling his own need to be buried inside of her mounting. Jace found himself pressing his hips against her.
When her body stopped shaking, he moved into position between her splayed thighs. He wasn’t going to be gentle, not when he was so wound up.
He placed a hand on each of her legs, feeling the delicate flesh of her inner thighs slightly damp from her need for him. He was harder than any other time before. Placing the very tip of his cock at the entrance of her cunt, he lifted his eyes to her face. He pushed into her, filling every succulent inch of her pussy with his cock. Her mouth opened, and her back arched. It was the most erotic thing he had ever seen.
Fuck. Yes.
Jace pushed his dick into her, looked down between their bodies and watched as he moved in and out of her pussy. He smoothed his hand up her belly and over her arms, and back down to her waist. He fucked her for several more seconds before he pulled out and flipped them over so she was the one on top of him now.
“Ride me, baby.” Her wetness coated his shaft and her inner thighs, and he was riveted to the sight, loving that he could see his cock disappearing into her body then reemerging.
Jace was about to come, and as much as he’d like to keep this going all night, there was no fucking way he could hold off any longer. The fact she was so damn wet, and also the view of her riding him, had him using all of his strength to keep his control.
“Fucking hell, Lexi.” He tightened his hold on her outer thighs, squeezed her flesh as his orgasm started to rise, and wasn’t going to stop himself from getting off. He couldn’t, not when it came to Lexi. She was his weakness in every sense of the word. He started really fucking her, thrusting his hips in and out, pounding himself into her, and needing to reach that peak. And then like a volcano starting to erupt, he finally reached that climax. He started to come, watched as her tits shook, and lifted his hands to take hold of them.
“Fuck,” he groaned and tilted his head back as pleasure slammed into him so forcefully it took his breath away. He roared out his release. “Oh shit, baby. That’s it.” Once their highs receded, Lexi collapsed on top of him, and they both breathed out, neither speaking.
She rolled off of him, now on her back, naked, sweaty, and so fucking hot he could have popped another boner. Jace reached out and smoothed a hand over her belly, wanting this woman to be his always. He wanted her as his wife, wanted her to be the mother of his children. She was it for him, and even if it had been such a short time since they’d gotten together, he’d never felt this way about a woman. This was the real deal.
“How do you think Travis will handle the baby?” Lexi asked and rolled onto her side, facing him. She smiled, the happiness on her face over that clear.
“I think he’ll have his hands full if it’s a girl.”
She chuckled. “Yeah, but I think they’ll make incredible parents. I may not know them extremely well, but from what I do know and have seen, they will shower that little baby with love.” She lifted her hand and covered his cheek.
“I think we’d make incredible parents one day.” Yeah, he’d said that, and he wasn’t going to take it back.
She didn’t speak for several seconds, and for a moment he felt like he might have jumped the gun and fucked up, but she leaned in and kissed him, having his heart rate calm a bit.
“I think we would, too, Jace.”
He pulled her in close, held her, and told himself he would not screw this up.
“I love you, Lexi baby.” He pulled back and kissed her on the forehead.
“I love you, too.”
He was not going to let her go, not when, for the first time in his life, he realized he was exactly where he was meant to be.
****
Lexi had slipped out of bed a few minutes ago to get something to drink, but now she found herself standing in the living room. The blanket she’d wrapped around her kept the chill in the air away, and she pulled it tighter around her body. She stared out at the property, could see the mountains on one side, and rolling hills on the other. The other two brothers’ houses were in the distance.
This place was beautiful, and although she’d known Jace since she was a girl, she had only recently really gotten to know him personally.
“I think we’d make incredible parents one day.”
What he’d said played back in her head, and she looked down, pushing the blanket away so she could look at her belly. She placed a hand on her stomach, knowing she should have told him then that she was pregnant. But she’d just found out earlier today, had taken three tests just to be sure, and her fear over it all had her keeping it to herself, at least right now. But she loved Jace, and she knew he loved her, too. They’d only really been couple for the last few months, she had her newer place, and she worried that this was so fast.
It is, but there isn’t anything to do about it. You’re pregnant with Jace’s baby.
That had her smiling, but also feeling so worried. What if he didn’t want this?
“Baby?” Jace said behind her, his voice thick from sleep, deep and soft.
“I’m coming back to bed now.” She said and turned around. “I just got up to get something to drink—” Her focus went to what he held—one of the pregnancy tests she’d taken early in the day.
Her throat tightened, her heart started beating fast, and she shook her head, not knowing what to say.
“Lexi?” he said and took a step closer. “Baby…” The word was thick, and his expression was genuinely confused and dare she say … happy?”
“I just found out, and was trying to think of how to tell you.”
He was in front of her and had her in his arms seconds later. Jace held her, whispering how happy he was, how much he loved her, and she closed her eyes and smiled.
“I thought you’d be upset.”
He pulled back and cupped her face, his expression changing from happiness to concern. “Upset?” He shook his head. “Hell no, Lexi. I love you.” He placed his hand on her belly, and leaned down to kiss her. “I fucking love you, want you to be my wife, the mother of my children.”
“It’s so fast,” she said between kisses.
“Yeah, but I love you, you love me, and we can make this work.” He started kissing her again, and she let her worries over it all fade away. “When you’re ready we’ll tell my brothers and your parents.”
She nodded. “Yeah, my father might give us shit,” she said and chuckled.
“Hey, if he didn’t I’d be worried. He cares about you, and getting on my case to make sure you’re taken care of is what dads do.”
She looked up at him and nodded. “Are you sure you’re ready for all of this?”
He was silent for a moment, and she felt her pulse race faster, but then he smiled and she felt everything else fade away.
“Everything will be okay. Everything will work out, baby, I promise.”
And she believed him because since being with Jace she felt like everything was right where it needed to be. And it was a damn good feeling.
Epilogue
Eight months later
Lexi held onto her lower back and breathed out as she had another Braxton Hicks contraction. She was due in about a month, and she’d been having the false labor pains since she was five months pregnant. But it wasn’t the tightness in the contractions that gave her the back pain, but the way their little daughter was curled up inside of her.
Jace came up behind her, gently pushed away her hand, and started rubbing her back, easing the pain.
Placing her hands on the kitchen counter and closing her eyes, she couldn’t help the sigh that left her. “You have magic fingers,” she murmured. He chuckled and kept massaging her.
“Are you scared?” he asked, his voice by her ear, his fingers doing wonderful things to the tension in her lower back.
She opened her eyes and looked out the kitchen window, seeing Travis’s truck pulling up the driveway. Lexi didn’t answer right away, just stared out the window and watched. Travis got out of the truck, walked around to the passenger side to open Pearl’s door, and then Pearl went to the back passenger side door and got the car seat out. They’d had their son, Collin, and Lexi couldn’t help but smile. Turning around and looking at Jace, she wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned up to kiss him.
“I’m not scared,” she murmured against his lips and pulled back to look in his eyes. “Are you?”
He shook his head. “I’m not afraid to be a dad, but I will tell you this,” he said and cupped her belly. He got down on his knees, pushed up her shirt, and kissed her huge stomach. “You’re not dating until you’re thirty, little girl, and even then I’ll be holding my shotgun waiting for the asshole to come knocking.”
