Chapter 67
“The greatest thing you’ll ever learn is to love and be loved in return.” – Natalie Cole
Aiden’s POV
“She really should be resting, Mom, she’s already pushed herself enough for one day,” I admonished as Mom insisted we open the presents from the baby shower earlier today.
“She also needs to have some fun,” Mom countered, arms full of gifts, standing her ground in my foyer.
“You’ve apparently had all the fun sucked out of you, so someone needs to make her smile.
” Mom then glanced at Rose. “Get some rest, Rose. I’ll just put these in the nursery, and you can go through them later. ”
Rose smiled thankfully at Mom who disappeared up the stairs and towards the nursery.
She walked over to me as I stood back stoically, arms crossed, leaning against the far wall in the foyer.
Rose then placed both her hands on my upper arms before standing on her tip-toes. giving me a kiss on the cheek.
“Carry me up?” my mate whispered into my ear sweetly.
Immediately, I lifted her into my arms bridal style like she was as weightless as a feather. Rose’s fingers skirted the nape of my neck as she leaned into me contentedly.
“I remember how hard it was to keep myself from touching you when you picked me up like this during my heat,” Rose murmured, her lips brushing against my neck.
“Mmm it might be better if you keep yourself from too much touching. At least for tonight,” I joked.
Rose looked hot in her maternity dress. I’d wanted to rip it off her all day. But now she was tired. She looked pale and the shadows under her eyes indicated her exhaustion.
Plus, I was a little edgy about doing something with her now that she only had a month left in her pregnancy.
It was usually the last month that was the hardest for she-wolves.
The baby grew the fastest and was ready to be born any day after crossing six months.
Rose was always uncomfortable and moaning about how she couldn’t breathe because the baby was kicking her ribs.
Sex was probably the last thing we should be involved in these days.
But instead of agreeing, Rose pressed a kiss to my neck just as I passed the threshold to our room.
“Please, Aiden,” Rose moaned.
I could feel her longing for me.
“Is it…safe?” I couldn’t help but ask stupidly.
Rose giggled. “Of course, silly.”
“But…I think you should rest,” I said adamantly, setting her down on the settee in front of the dresser. I pulled out a set of pajamas for her to prove a point.
Rose yawned again. She really was tired, no matter how much she tried to deny it. Looking at me innocently, she pulled her hair to one side, exposing my mark. She knew that always got me hot. I narrowed my eyes on her.
“Help me change.” Rose looked up at me with wide innocent eyes. I raised an eyebrow. Was she really too tired to do this herself?
"Unzip me?" Rose asked softly, standing and turning her back to me expectantly, hair still swept to one side. .
I eyed the smooth expanse of peaches and cream skin exposed from the deep scoop of the back of her dress. With a resigned sigh, I got to work deciding I wouldn’t let her win out. I could and would control myself.
But in retrospect, I really should have known by now when Rose wanted to seduce me, she usually wonin the end.
With shaking hands, I reached for the zip on the back of her dress only to have Rose lean into me. She smiled knowingly when she felt my arousal poke her from behind. I cursed when she shimmied that perfect ass of hers against my cock.
“You need to get some sleep,” I grit out, hands automatically wrapping around her torso, enjoying the feel of her generous hips, and the softness of her satin dress clad form emanating body heat against my fingertips.
“Bite me.” Her pleading was my undoing. And maybe it would get her to finally go to sleep?
“Ah…ahhhh.” Rose’s voice was a throaty timbre as my tongue swirled around her mark before letting my canines puncture her skin.
It made my skin buzz with want, making my erection, already digging into her backside, even harder. Her hand came up to fist the hair above my temple. I kept kissing and sucking on her neck, hoping it’d be enough for her. But it wasn’t. If anything, it seemed to revitalize her.
“I’m so hot for you,” Rose said breathily once my canines retracted and lips began to work their way across her shoulder. “I’m knocked up with your child and begging for more,” she teased and wiggled her bottom. “Are you really going to keep me unsatisfied?”
“Ah fuck,” I muttered, giving in. We would go slow…and I’d be gentle.
“You asked for it,” I said under my breath.
Rose smirked in triumph.
“Watch yourself,” I said gruffly, inclining my head towards the mirror that was conveniently long enough to show my fingers trailing over her belly to rest against the satin over the triangle between her legs.
Rose moaned, leaning forward, hands flat against the dresser table to spread her legs enough for me.
Her pajamas on the table fell to the floor.
I tugged at her dress, pulling it down and springing her full breasts open, exposing them to my eyes.
My hands went around to cup them, to squeeze them. I sucked in a breath.
“Look,” I instructed again and Rose’s eyes widened as a little bit of milk leaked across my fingers.
“Sorry,” Rose squeaked out. “The doctor said that I might start leaking.”
“Rose, don’t be sorry about producing milk for our baby.” I kissed the side of her neck. Letting my hands massage her breasts. “Maybe I’ll have a taste one day too,” I teased into her ear.
It was the first time Rose blushed ever since she got her memory back. Oh, how I enjoyed it. I unzipped her dress, letting it pool at her feet. Her stomach was bigger, rounder and it made me want her more.
“Fuck, you’re growing my pup inside of you and it turns me on,” I moaned against her ear.
“Please,” Rose begged, widening her stance further. I angled myself to enter her from behind.
“Watch me fuck you,” I growled. And looked in the mirror to see Rose’s breasts bounce and belly move on every thrust. “You need to let me know if I need to slow down,” I panted.
“It’s fine. I need you to fuck me harder,” Rose breathily demanded.
She tried meeting my thrusts, tried slamming against me but I held her hips still, trying to go slow. I was afraid I might hurt the baby.
“Goddess, Aiden, if sex wouldn’t have been advisable at this time, the doctor would have told us!” Rose panted, moving her hips impatiently. “Aiden, please! This isn’t going to work unless you fuck me hard.”
“I’ve got you,” I assured softly. My fingers found her clit and began to move.
“Aiden” —Rose bit out— “I love you but if you don’t hammer into me like I know you want to, I’m going to kill you.”
She slammed her palm on the dresser for emphasis.
I chuckled, picking up the pace but only slightly. She’d gotten used to a harder rhythm.
“More!” Rose demanded.
She jerked her hips out of my grasp and slammed herself against me. My mouth went slack from pure bliss.
“Yesss like that!” Rose closed her eyes in satisfaction, enjoying the pleasure coursing through her.
I cursed. Her breasts jiggled fervently as I watched her reflection in the mirror slam into me again and again. And again. Oh fuck.
The crown of roses in her hair had come undone and petals fell to the floor around us as I began to piston into her, bottoming out.
“Yes! Oh! Yes!” Rose leaned forward some more in ecstasy, allowing me to go deeper.
Soft petals were floating onto her shoulders before falling to the ground as she moved.
“Keep watching yourself,” I instructed. I gave her butt a light slap. “Don’t close your eyes. Look at me fucking your pregnant body.”
And Rose opened her eyes to watch my dark eyes staring at her body as it jerked with my thrusts before my gaze alternated to watch my dick slide in and out of her from behind.
“You seem to like mirrors a lot,” Rose purred, shaking from my rutting.
Her pussy clenching around my cock felt so so good.
“Princess, I like to be able to enjoy both views.”
For emphasis I squeezed her ass before my hands came around to squeeze her bouncing breasts only to have milk leak over my fingers. Some rose petals began to stick against her protruding stomach once they became wet from the sheen of sweat on her skin.
“Fuck,” I cursed and slammed into her. Harder this time.
The dresser rattled, and Rose moaned. I squeezed her breasts harder, flicking her nipples, wet from leaking milk. More rose petals lightly brushed against her body, some sticking some falling.
“Oh, oh, oh, ohhhhhhhhh!” Rose spiraled into her release just as I burst inside of her, hot spurts of my seed filling her.
Once Rose caught her breath, she stood and leaned back into me, eyes going to the mirror again.
We both looked at her in the mirror, her upper half peppered with milk while her thighs were wet from my cum. Fucking perfect. I leaned forward and kissed her cheek.
“I like horny pregnant Rose,” I chuckled against her cheekbone before pulling her into the shower in the bathroom to clean her off. “No more funny business,” I warned and began to wash her body while we stood in the shower cabin naked. “You need to sleep after this.”
Rose shot me a wry smile. “Aiden who loves sex so, so, so much actually saying no?”
I gently kissed my mark on her neck and then pulled her out of the shower. Then wrapped a towel around her.
“I’ve said no before,” I commented in my own defense. “And each time it’s been for your own good.”
“You mean like that time I was in heat?” Rose asked as I helped her into her pajamas, batting her hands away when she tried to put them on herself.
I laughed.
“I wanted to knot inside of you so bad,” I admitted. “But I didn’t because I wanted our first time to be special. Not something done out of a biological need.”
“Is that what you meant?” Rose queried. She now lay next to me in bed as my finger twirled a wet curl around my knuckle. “When you said, ‘not like this’?”
I nodded, kissing the tip of her nose. Rose’s eyelids began to droop shut.
“Sleep, Princess.” I spoke softly against her temple.
“I love you, Aiden.” Rose yawned.
“I love you too, Rose."
We fell asleep holding each other, utterly content.
