  I unlock the door and quickly punch the numbers into the security system so the alarm doesn’t wake Tamzin, shutting the winter chill out and entering the warmth of the house. A week in Paris on business and visiting my brother Harry has dragged like a bitch, and all I’ve wanted since the moment I left is to have my love in my arms. London is our home and the main place of business where I now run my dad’s recruitment company full time since he retired last spring. Following in his footsteps, I have many firms of my own based in the private sector scattered around the country, but Paris and Chicago are the only two overseas. I’m fortunate enough to have an excellent workforce around to take control of those while I stay here but I often head out and crack the whip if need be. This time was one of them.

  Only it wasn’t as straight forward as I hoped. Kicking off my shoes and removing my winter coat, I unfasten my tie and walk through the dark house towards the bathroom ready to wash off the flight home. The smell of Tamzin’s flower perfume hits my senses and I instantly feel at home. My body aches for her. I’ve missed her so much and not being here when she needs me the most, almost killed me. I’m yet to tell Tamzin of my plans but the reason for my trip was to head out and settle a few loose ends before selling the business, only things weren’t that easy. Documents have been misplaced, there’s an atmosphere I don’t like and my gut is telling me something is off. I just need to work out what the fuck that is before I can go any further in selling.

  After drying off, I slip on some boxers and head to the bedroom. Laid like the angel that she is in one of my jumpers and her long winter socks, Tamzin’s curled up on the bed with her blonde hair spread across the pillow. The bedside lamp highlights her flawless curves, but it doesn’t stop the twist of guilt in me when I notice she’s been crying. Kneeling beside her I gently smooth my hand over her hair, I know from her breathing she’s awake but I can’t help but absorb her beauty.

  “Would you stop ogling me and kiss me already?”

  I laugh softly as she lies with her eyes closed. “I was just observing how beautiful you are.”

  “You’re home two days early,” she whispers, and I’m eager for her to open her eyes.

  “It’s December 1st. We spend this month together remember? Do you really think I would stay away?” I couldn’t do that to her. Not after everything we’ve been through these last few months. Reaching out, she takes hold of the back of my neck to pull me towards her, keeping her eyes closed as though she’s too tired to open them. Her soft lips place mine and it’s enough to make my cock twitch and my skin burn. “My God, I’ve missed you,” I whisper.

  “I’ve missed you more,” she smiles, finally flashing me her silver-grey eyes. Her thumb smooths over my cheek, a look of longing in her stare before she whispers so boldly. “But now I need you to fuck me.”

  I raise a brow and grin. “A little forward don’t you think? Don’t I get any small talk first?”

  She bites her bottom lip and sits up. That naughty look is in her features as her fingertips trail down my bare chest, transforming the burn across my skin to chills.

  “Hi, my name is Tamzin King, I’m twenty-seven and undeniably sexually aroused to the point that every nerve ending is screaming and waiting for a certain man in my life to fuck me senseless. Any takers?”

  I look behind me and tease. “Can’t see any.”

  “Arsehole.”

  I kiss her again, removing the jumper she’s wearing to reveal her naked body. My hands cup her full breasts and I lightly stroke my thumbs over her nipples knowing how sensitive they are. Her soft cry hit my ears as I continue to trail my hand over her gorgeous ever-growing stomach. “How are you feeling?”

  “A little tired.”

  “I hope you’ve been resting like I ordered?”

  “Yes, sir.”

  “Good, girl.”

  I place my lips on her small but perfectly formed bump. Tamzin was a little apprehensive at falling pregnant so soon into our relationship. I on the other hand was over the fucking moon. Before Tamzin, the thought of becoming a father scared me—to a degree it still does—but I was too young then and not in the right head space to hold responsibility for a tiny human. The pregnancy hasn’t been straightforward at times but our baby is a little fighter and that’s what we’ve held on to. “And how’s our little Dumpling?”

  “Dumpling is fine, Mummy however is not.”

  I look back at her with a raised brow. “Oh?”

  “Mummy needs sex. Lots of sex.”

  “Want to tell me why you’ve been crying first?”

  “No.”

  I pull back to look at her and I’m provided with an eye roll. She’s never been able to hide her emotions from me. “I may have had a little break down earlier.”

  “You wanna talk about it?”

  “
There’s nothing to tell. I just didn’t want to spend another night on my own. A pregnancy pillow doesn’t quite cut it.”

  “And I went to all that effort in drawing my face on it.” I grin.

  Kneeling up on the bed, Tamzin kisses across my chest before pulling my nipple between her teeth. She holds my gaze, the silver in her eyes turns liquid as the pulse in the dip of her throat vibrates against her skin, matching my heart that’s beating rapidly. My breathing picks up when she hooks her thumbs into my boxer briefs and in a torturously slow move, she rolls them over my arse. My cock springs free and as her nails tease my groin, I have to control myself—stop myself from throwing her down and fucking her so hard the bed breaks.

  “I’ve not stopped thinking about you,” she breathes, moving to bite my other nipple. “About fucking you.”

  My abs tighten, and I growl when her hot tongue licks a wet trail down the centreline of my stomach.

  “Have you thought about me, Noel?”

  “I thought of you every second, and I fucked you in my mind all the damn time.”

  That little grin on her sassy mouth from my words has the blood rushing through my body as her mouth continues to drag across my skin.

  Sex with Tamzin has always been hot and racy, but her pregnancy hormones have practically been on fire since she peed on the stick.

  “Jesus, Tami,” I hiss. Her cool hands wrap around my hard length as her tongue swirls the tip. Taking me to the back of her throat, she digs her nails into my arse cheeks as she sucks like her life depends on it: hard, fast and so fucking hot. My head falls back, my lips parting, as I fist her hair in a tight grip. Fuck me. This is some homecoming. I’ve barely been in the door ten minutes and I’m blazing.

  “Angel, you need to stop,” I groan. Her greedy mouth and little moans will have me shooting off before I can control myself and the last thing I want is to offload first. My girl always gets the first release.

  “Mummy was enjoying that,” she breathes when I pull out with a pop and push her down to the bed.

  “Mummy will have her reward in a better way.” I kiss her recklessly, pulling her bottom lip between my teeth before dipping my head to suck her collarbone. “God you’re so fucking sexy.”

  Tamzin is my undoing, she ruins me in all the right ways and with just a touch I’m addicted like I’ve never been before.

  “Noel…”

  “Tell me what you want, Tami.”

  “I want your head between my thighs.”

  Sighs of pleasure escape her as I work my way lower to her hot pink pussy; her pants are fast and breathless. Pulling off the long fluffy socks she loves to wear, one at a time, I lock eyes with her. Teasing them off in a slow and playful way that has her falling heavier into the mattress and squirming with need: my beautiful Tamzin laid bare and ready as the sign of our unconditional love grows between us.

  “Oh God, Noel. Please,” she cries with a jolt as I flick her clit with my finger.

  I grin with her plea: I’ve missed hearing her beg. “You’re so wet, angel.”

  Shifting her to the edge of the bed, I spread her wide and inhale her glistening arousal. I blow on her clit and she bucks before I lick her softness top to bottom. Her deep cry echoes the room in desperation as I hold her in place. Working my tongue relentlessly in figures of eight to bring her to a breaking point that will have her withering. There’s nothing I love more than going down on my girl. She tastes like pure fucking gold: sweet, sexy and mind-blowingly addictive. My scalp prickles with the intensity of her fingers that pull and twist on my hair as I kiss and eat her pussy like I’ve been on a seven-day famine.

  “Yes,” she cries when I plunge two fingers inside. Her legs quake with the pleasure that builds as sinful words escape from her lips. She’s hot and dirty, just how I love her. It doesn’t take long for her to come undone and I take every last sweet drop.

  I lean over and kiss her long and hard, not letting her catch her breath. Her arms envelope my neck as I rest my forehead on her and let her heart rate settle.

  “I cannot tell you how good that felt,” she pants.

  “I have a pretty good idea.”

  “I love you, Noel Thompson. I’m so glad you’re home.”

  I’m glad too. Being without her is like losing half of who I am. I never knew a love could be so strong until I met Tamzin. It’s overwhelming, captivating and so powerful I often ask myself how I got so lucky. Her eyes drift close as I watch her. She’s tired. She should be resting, and here I am ready to go all night. “I need to be inside you, angel, but we can stop if you’re tired?”

  She looks at me as though I’m crazy. “Are you kidding me? I’ve rested the whole week in preparation for the best fuck of my life. I’m not quitting now.”

  I grin, kissing her nose and helping her shift up the bed for her to lay on her side. “You prepared well, because I’m about to give the best fuck of the year.” I place a pillow under her hips to support her back and stomach, kissing her once more as my cock teases her entrance. “Are you comfortable?”

  “Yes,”

  “Good, because I don’t think I can hold back.” I push inside her and groan: the feel of her hot and slippery around me instantly has me lost in everything that she is as my head falls to her neck and I whisper. “Fuck I’ve missed you.”

  Tamzin.

  The fullness of Noel pushing deep inside me makes me see stars and causes a band of hot tingles to cascade over my body, hitting the sweet spot that sends me wild as his drives are powerful and strong. I never realised how much I’d actually missed him while he was away until now. Where I thought I was coping just proves how wrong I was as I instantly feel safe and that vulnerability that hung over me has gone. His trips to Paris or Chicago would normally have me accompany him, but as I’m due at the end of next month he didn’t want to risk either me or the baby’s health by travelling. Now that he’s back, I’m lost in him all over again.

  The scorching rush rips through my core like a spitfire, leaving my body a trembling mess as perspiration speckles over my skin. His hot breath hits my neck causing my nipples to tighten even harder than they are as he pulses deep inside me. I lock my arms around him and kiss him with adoration. I love sex with this man, but holy hell pregnancy sex is off the wall. Whoever said you lose your libido was talking shit because I swear to God I’ve got mine and someone else’s.

  “I’m so glad you’re home,” I whisper to him again.

  “Happy Anniversary, angel. Two years ago today I met the love of my life.”

  “Bet you didn’t bank on me being sick at your feet.”

  He grins, his brown eyes full of awe, love and honesty. “It was from that moment I knew you’d be mine.”

  I raise a brow. “You have such confidence in yourself, Noel Thompson. What if I had said no?”

  “Tamzin, I’ve told you before: with a dick the size of mine, it would’ve been impossible to have said no.”

  “Always a smart arse.”

  He kisses me again, softly this time, as I trace lines up and down his back.

  “I’ve never wanted to come home as fast as I did this past week,” he admits, making my heart feel fuller than ever. He shifts onto his side, pulling me close to him and placing his hand flat onto my stomach. It’s not just me that has missed him: our baby has too.

  “We’ve missed you so much,” I murmur, smoothing my own hands over my stomach to entwine with his.

  Being on my own this past week has had its advantages; getting everyone to run around after me hasn’t left me feeling guilty at all. Usually, I’d walk the length of the city and bundle my way through the never-ending crowds of aggressive Christmas shoppers whilst preparing to knock someone out if they should piss me off, but with my best friend, Evie and Noel’s sister in-law, Karen offering to do my gift shopping, who am I to argue? So, I simply played the over dramatic ‘I need to rest’ pregnancy card whilst secretly rubbing my hands together and laughing on the inside. For many years the f
estive season wasn’t my favourite as it brought to many haunts. My grandparents were all I had and when they died a part of me did too. Now that I have Noel, I’ve found strength in bringing back the love for this month again and it’s all thanks to him.

  “So, how was the trip?” I question, even after speaking to him every day while he was gone.

  “I hated every minute.”

  “You wanna talk about it?”

  He sighs, heavily and pulls me closer. “No.”

  I still work at H.T Limited, I kept my position as a desk clerk rather than taking the promotion Noel offered when he officially took over his dad’s company. I enjoy my job, but working on the top floor meant taking on more responsibility to which I’m not interested in. The only thing I am into when it comes to the top floor is sneaking into his office to fuck him in the lunch hour.

  “How’s Alex?” I ask. Alex is Noel’s personal assistant in Paris and has work for him for many years.

  He silent for a moment, causing me to look up at him. “Good. I’ve told him he’s now in charge until further notice.”

  “You sure that’s what you want to do?”

  “He’s pretty much been doing it anyway. I can’t run three businesses and look after my family. I’ll still have a lot of input in the Chicago firm as it’s bigger, but any business that Alex needs discussing with the Parisian one can be done via video call.”

  Family means everything to Noel. Knowing how important it is to him makes my heart full of so much love. He takes my arse with a squeeze and kisses the top of my head. “Besides it’ll give me more time to spend with you and the baby.”

  “Noel, you only visit Paris like three weeks in a year.”

  “And that’s twenty-one more days I get to fuck you if I don’t go.”

  I roll my eyes and he lifts my chin to kiss my lips. Lying silently, I watch the movements in my stomach as the tiny human inside stretches and turns. It’s such a beautiful yet alien-like feeling, and no matter how rough a day I’m having, it always brings a smile to my face on how strong it has become. Chills suddenly cover my skin from the late-night air, or it could be from the heated gaze of Noel’s eyes on me. I love how he watches me and adore the fact he loves my body and is aware of the slightest change even before I am.
