“Let’s talk to Layla about it first, okay?” Jesse compromised.

Lucy’s face fell at not getting an immediate ‘yes’ but she nodded. “Okay,” she gave in. “Can I see her now?”

“I think we can get back there.” Jesse nodded at me and Lucy rushed to say goodbye to her friend before following Jesse out of the waiting room.

Moments later Lana and Emmie entered the room, looking marginally less stressed than they had been when I had seen them last night. My body instantly reacted to being so close to Emmie. I grasped her by the waist and pulled her down onto my lap, burying my face in her neck.

“Hey,” she breathed, running her fingers through my messy hair. “I missed you.”

“Me too.” I kissed her neck, glorying in the fact that she couldn’t hide her reaction to me any more than I could mine to her. “Are you coming home tonight?”

“As soon as I get security set up outside of Layla’s private room when she’s finally moved, I’ll be home. Promise.”

I rubbed my hand over her flat stomach. “Have you eaten today? How’s the morning sickness?”

“I was able to keep down some cheese crackers and ginger ale. But my appetite still isn’t that great. No vomiting though.” I let out a relieved sigh and she rolled her big green eyes at me. “I’m fine, Nik. So is Jagger.”

“Jagger?” Harper and Shane asked almost at the same time. “What?”

“That’s what Em is calling the baby,” I told them with a grin. “She’s convinced that this one is a boy and has already named him.”

“But what if it’s a girl?” Harper asked with a frown. “Won’t you be too used to calling her Jagger by then?”

“It’s a boy,” Emmie told them, that stubborn tilt of her chin telling them not to argue.

Shane reached out and touched his hand just above where mine still lingered. “Welcome to this crazy family, Jagger.”

I was only half asleep when I felt Emmie slip into bed beside me. A quick glance at the clock told me it was just before midnight. She was wearing one of my shirts as a night gown and her hair was damp from the shower. Sighing, I pulled her against me and kissed the top of her head. “How are they?”

Emmie yawned. “As good as can be expected. Layla was settled in her private room and I made them put a cot in there for Jesse because he still refused to go home. The twins are still having sleep apnea issues, so even if they do get moved into the nursery they are going to be in the hospital until that stops.”

“It could be worse.” I shuddered at the thought of just how much worse it could have been. Tucking her closer I let my hand brush over her lower stomach. “Promise me you’ll take better care of yourself, Em. I’m terrified of this happening to us.”

She pushed herself up onto her elbow and looked down at me. She had forgotten to turn off the bathroom light after her shower—like always—and I could see her beautiful face clearly from the glow. “I promise I’ll be careful, Nik. Honestly, I’m fine though. I’m already starting to feel better. The morning sickness isn’t anything like it was with Mia.”

“I don’t know what I would do if something happened to you, baby girl. You’re my heart and soul. Don’t you ever freaking leave me.”

Her hand lifted and she traced her fingers over my brow, down my cheek and then around my lips. “I don’t plan on it, babe.”

“Come here,” I whispered and pulled her down until my lips met hers. She tasted like toothpaste with hints of that sweet flavor that was completely Emmie.

I deepened the kiss, needing more of that taste more than I needed my next breath. My left hand tangled in her long auburn hair while my right developed a mind of its own and cupped her breast. A small whimper escaped her and I dove my tongue deep inside of her hot little mouth, devouring her with my kiss.

Emmie’s hands were just as restless as my own. The nails of her right hand bit into my bare shoulder even as her left hand caressed down my chest. Lower it traveled, over my abdomen, making my stomach clench because I knew exactly where it was going. My dick, already painfully hard, twitched against her thighs and I felt the tip dampen with the proof of how much I wanted her.

As her index finger skimmed over the tip, smearing the drops of liquid desire over the head of my throbbing cock, she smiled against my lips. “Mm. I’ve missed you, Nik.”

“I bet I missed you more.” I growled, burying my face in her neck. Inhaling her sweet, clean scent and my heart rate increased even more. “I want you so bad, baby girl.”

“I bet I want you more.” She spread her thighs for me. I pulled back enough so I could watch as her hand left my dick and caressed over the lips of her pussy. A groan left me as I watched her dip two fingers inside of herself.

Emmie bit her lip, but it didn’t stop the moan as she touched herself. My dick hardened even more as she played with her wet pussy. She lifted her hand, rubbing her damp fingers over my bottom lip. I licked my second favorite taste from my lips before capturing her hand and sucking those two delicious fingers hard, making sure I got every drop off of her.

“Love you, baby girl,” I breathed as I flipped onto my back and pulled her over me, sliding deep with one smooth thrust.

Emmie cried out and pushed up into a sitting position. She pulled my shirt over her head. Her hands pressed into my stomach to balance herself as she road my dick until I felt her thighs quivering. I was lost in the feel of her hot, wet pussy clenching around my dick and the sight of her perfect tits bouncing up and down as she rode me. I wasn’t even close to finishing while she was already coming all over me.

I gripped her hips to keep her in place as I thrust harder. She breathed my name, cupping her breasts and pinching the nipples as I pushed her toward another orgasm. “Oh gods, Nik. You feel so good inside of me. Don’t stop.”

“Never,” I promised, my voice gravely with need.

“Fuck…” Her head tossed back, making her hair fly around her shoulders. “Fuck, I’m coming again.”

“Yes, baby girl. Come all over me.” I sat up without dislodging from her. Her arms instantly wrapped around my shoulders, her tits pressed against my sweat drenched chest. Her legs wrapped around my waist. I slowed my thrusts so I could savor the feel of her pussy walls convulsing around me.

Turning her head she kissed me, thrusting her tongue deep. Possessing me just as I was possessing her. Sharp nails scraped down my back, causing a pain that was purely euphoric. My hands rubbed up and down her back, skimming lower and lower until I reached that one spot that I knew would drive her over the edge over and over again.
