She nodded. “I feel wonderful.”

It was all because of him, too, and she couldn’t thank him enough for all he had done. After opening her birthday presents, they went back to bed and cuddled while watching movies. It was the perfect day, and she was sad to see it was almost at an end.

“No more of those Braxton Hicks thingies?”

She shook her head. “I’ve been good, but let me tell you, if those were just a little preview of what is to come, I’m not going to make it.”

Erik laughed as he shook his head. “We still have Lamaze classes to take, which should help prepare you for the delivery, and I’ll be there.”

“I’m about to say eff it and do the epidural.”

“Is that what you want?”

“I don’t know. Audrey isn’t using it but Fallon is. Elli didn’t get to with the first two but with the boys she did, and Harper was a champ, almost pushed Ally out in the car. So I don’t know.”

“Well, whatever you choose, you got me to claw at,” he said with a grin.

“This is good to know and I will hold you to that.”

He nodded as he pulled her legs up, bringing her closer before laying her legs across his. Taking her chin in his hands, he placed his lips to hers softly as his other hand rested at her side. Kissing her slowly, he drew out the kisses, sweeping his tongue in an erotic way. He made her toes curl and her heart race as she kissed him back, her own fingers tangling in his hair, trying to bring him closer.

God, she wanted him.

She took in a deep breath, her teeth sinking into her bottom lip as her heart raced at speeds only he could precipitate. “You’d better be careful, Mr. Titov, I might try to have my way with you on this bench.”

He moved his nose along hers. “You wouldn’t dare.”

She took in a sharp breath, tangling her fingers in his hair. She wanted him, and she wanted him now.

When the sign came up for Sweetbriar, Erik almost cried out in relief. Driving quickly through the town, he did a wide turn into the driveway and was surprised he even shut the car off before hopping out to open the door for Piper. Once she was out of the car and in his arms, he kissed her up against the car. His c**k was pressing against the zipper of his slacks, begging for her, and as he pressed himself into her, he was rewarded with a sexy groan.

Lifting her up, she wrapped her legs around his waist as he carried her into the house. Nudging the door shut with his foot, he pressed her against the wall, pulling the front of her dress off before he buried his face between her swollen br**sts. She cried out, her fingers tangling in his hair as her center rubbed against him. Groaning, he bit down on her taut nipple before swirling his tongue around it, bringing her breast into his mouth as he trapped her body with his. He was rewarded with her cries of passion, her fingers pulling the back of his hair as her legs squeezed his waist.

He wasn’t going to make it.

She pulled at his shirt, up and over his head, before throwing it to the side. Her mouth moved down his neck, kissing his chest before running her tongue along his ni**les. He hissed out a breath as his hands bit into her hips, thrusting himself into her. Not able to take any more, he held her close, bringing her mouth down to his as he carried her down the hall to the couch. He set her feet on the floor and watched as she unzipped the dress, pulling it down with her panties. His hand shook as he removed his pants, his c**k springing free.

Piper lay on the couch moving her legs apart as Erik settled between them. She moved her wet center up his swollen c**k and it took everything for him not to push into her and f**k her until he couldn’t see anymore. Instead, he pulled away, taking her arms in his hands, bringing her into a sitting position.

“Stand up,” he groaned out.

“Huh?”

“Stand up, one foot on each side of me.”

She looked confused as her chest rose and fell but she did what he asked, putting her in the perfect spot for his mouth to devour her. Gripping her fine ass, he buried his face into her center, tonguing her as his fingers bit into her skin. She tasted so sweet and it made him harder than a rock while her screams filled the room. Her fingers held on to the back of his head, pulling his hair as he flicked his tongue along her taut clit. When she pulled away, bending over for support, his hand smacked her lightly on her ass, surprising her as she screamed out.

“No, stand up,” he said against her swollen lips.

“I can’t take it!” she cried, her body quivering under his touch.

“Yes you can,” he said before moving his mouth quickly, back and forth through her lips. When she fell again, his hand came down, slapping her ass cheek again. She was breathing so hard, her body shaking as he moved his tongue along her lips, dipping the tip of his tongue inside her, tickling her hole before lapping at her. Going back up to her clit, he slid his finger inside her before she shattered, her nails biting into his neck as she screamed out his name.

Kissing her thighs, he continued to f**k her with his finger, her body squeezing him as he moved his fingers quickly in and out of her. Bringing his other hand up her body, he took hold of her breast, squeezing and molding it as he continued to kiss and lick her thighs. Her breathing was labored; her body was shaking and red from the pleasure he was giving her. He wanted this to last forever.

Moving his lips along the inside of her thighs, he moved under her, until he was looking at her perky ass.

“What are you doing?” she breathlessly asked, looking over her shoulder at him.
