“Does this mean you’ll give me a baby?” she asks as she looks over her shoulder with heavy eyes. My cock releases at her command and I give her what she’s asking for. I will always give in to her desires, no matter what they are.
She squeals as I roll us over so that she’s on top and facing away from me. She rolls her hips as I continue to cum and she leans back. Her body moves as she takes what she wants and I’ve never seen her look more beautiful. She’s powerful on top of me as she moves the way she wants and extracts what she desires.
I sit up so that my chest is to her back and I kiss along her shoulder. When she tilts her head to the side, I graze my teeth along the edge of her neck, and the urge to bite her is bearing down on me.
“I love you,” she says as she reads my mind and offers herself to me.
“I love you too,” I say, kissing along the tender skin before I do as she’s begging me to.
The connection between us grows tighter and I feel her climax on my cock. The release is hard and she cries out, but I wrap an arm around her waist to hold her steady.
Her skin is hot and she tingles all over as I cum deep within her. A quiet falls between us, and in that moment, I can sense a change. Our connection is heightened and it’s sharper than ever before, and suddenly I know that she will have my child. A seed is being planted as we stay joined, and she will give me the miracle I’ve always longed for. I never dared to dream of having a family of my own when it meant cursing a child with this burden. But now that the threat is not between us, the world is full of possibilities.
She hums softly as she relaxes and leans against me, neither of us speaking for a long time. I lay us down so that I don’t have to pull out and we cuddle in bed together.
“Could this be possible? Have all of my dreams come true so quickly?”
“Yes,” I answer simply, because I know it’s true for me.
To have such a gift as Ariella is more than I deserve. But I’m a good man and I will take care of our family. I place my large palm on her belly as we lay there, and I close my eyes picturing what our child will look like. I hope if it’s a girl it’s exactly like her; and I hope the same for a boy, too. Everything she touches turns to gold and I’m lucky that she chose me.
We may have had to convince everyone else to get on board, but eventually she was mated to the Reaper.
Epilogue
Ariella
Two years later…
“I can’t believe it’s a girl,” my mom says with a smile. “We need more girls in this family.” She tucks a piece of my long dark hair behind my ear.
“We really do,” I agree. I love all my cousins and uncles, but they outnumber us. Normally it wouldn’t be a big deal, but they can all be super overprotective.
My mom rubs my baby bump before leaning down and kissing me there. It’s not too big yet and only a little bump shows. It’s hardly noticeable with the dress I’m wearing today.
With our son I was so big and I’m still not sure if it was because my mom cooked for me as if I were a small army she needed to feed, or the fact that Grim is a big man so his boys would come out big. Asher was the biggest in our makeshift family so far. Both my parents and Grim were worried, but I wasn’t. Grim was my mate and we were made for each other, so I knew that I could carry his babies and be fine. Fate paired us together and I wouldn’t let myself believe anything else. I still think they forget that I can heal as fast as them.
Mom gives me a kiss next before I leave. I was supposed to go straight home, but my mind keeps wandering to the bakery that’s next to the university. It isn't far and I have my car with me. I could pop in and get me something and then get extra for Grim and our son before they get back home. Grim and my dad have taken Ash to the animal shelter and I have a feeling they’ll be coming back with a kitten. Grim has been talking about getting a dog, but Ash loves kittens.
I slide into my SUV and put my purse on the passenger seat before getting myself situated. It’s still strange getting used to driving. I’ve been doing it for a couple of years, but it feels weird at times. With everyone living so close we usually run from house to house. Heck, most of us have underground passages, but Grim doesn’t want me running them while I’m pregnant. If it was up to him I’d be on bed rest, so the car is an easy compromise.
