The charity ball was still going on in full swing. The exclusive dinner and auction had passed, thank fuck, and the crowd finally seemed to relax as people continued to chat amongst each other while others danced on the dance floor. My eyes wander around the packed room as I take a sip of my drink before turning back to Lexi. She's standing a few yards away, talking to some actor. By now I got used to the attention she got. Most of them were just curious about how she was doing since we'd been living on the down low. They had seen the covers across the front pages, but to my surprise most of them didn't put much faith in them and what had been written about the two of us. They we're more interested in the real story instead of the gossip. It shouldn't have been so unexpected since they probably had dealt with the same issues in the past. They were all curious to meet me as well, but after dragging me around for three hours Lexi decided I'd earned a break. She knew me better than I did myself. I tried to decline, not wanting to leave her alone but I couldn't help but breathe relieved either once she beckoned Rebekah to help out and drag me away. It's a lot of unwanted attention I'm definitely not used to... I think to myself seeing Lexi drift alongside the dancefloor to someone else.

A middle aged woman hugs her tightly and I'm sure I've seen her somewhere before. A television show, maybe? I ponder, same as I did with the last five people she talked to. The amount of well known people all stuck in one room made me uneasy at first. But luckily the masks make it easier to handle since I noticed I'm not the only person having trouble to identify people around me. A lot of people were scanning the crowd intently, trying to figure out who they know and who they don't.

Apparently Lexi and I were the only ones that truly stood out from the crowd. Even in here word spread like wildfire as soon as some people had recognized her. Me being the talk of the day since this was the first time we were together in such an event. I had no clue the beginning of the night how big of a deal that actually was, until the seventh or eight person we spoke to said the exact same thing as the onces before him. It must be serious if you're bringing him here, Lexi. You've never brought a plus-one before. I knew Lexi wasn't the kind of girl that had dated dozens of men before me, I admired that about her. But hearing she'd never brought anyone but her sister to an event made it seem like this step was even more important than our actual engagement. I quickly learned that being in propaganda and being together on events like these were two very different things for everyone that lived in this world. This was Lexi making an official statement, this is my man.

I catch her glancing at me every few minutes to make sure I'm alright as she continues to talk happily with the woman next to her. Her attentiveness bringing a smile to my lips as I wink at her to let her know I'm doing fine as I take another sip from my drink. Rebekah and Tyler had wandered off somewhere a little while ago wheras Alex had actually managed to get Néomy to dance. Barefoot though. I couldn't help but bark a laugh that she didn't even cared people were staring at her the second she threw those spiked heels in a corner. Owning her decicion like a boss as she strolled over to Alex in her bare feet before heading over to the dancefloor together. Alex didn't seem to mind either, if anything he looked even more lovestruck. Nothing was going to dim her fire down, not even a posh party like this. Néomy was Néomy and people just had to deal with that. I chuckle to myself as I watch the two of them. Since she is nowhere near a ballroom dancer Alex had ushered her to stand on his feet, leading her around the room like a dad would do with his daughter. Luckily for the both of them most people didn't seem to notice because of the long dress she was wearing, and even if they did, I don't think they would've cared. They were enjoying themselfves nevertheless what other people might think of them.

'Why are you standing over here like a wallflower with a dog at your feet?'

Ryan giggles as he strolls up to me, Kendall at his side. I glance down at Bear, before turning back to them as I chuckle.

'Lex decided I could take a breather. Bear is just a lazy old pooch who's more than happy to keep me company.'

'That poor dog had so much attention this night! He deserves a good sleep.'

Ryan laughs before clashing my glass against his. Bear briefly opens his eyes, looking up at Ryan with a huff as if he knows the conversation is about him before checking up on Néomy. His eyes following her for a few seconds to make sure she's alright before nuddging his head back down to sleep.

'Yeah, he got even more attention than I did.'

I laugh with a sigh, emptying my glass before setting it down next to me. The guys do the same, nodding their head at my words before Kendall asks.

'How are you coping with that?'

I shrug my shoulders, wishing everyone would just stop asking me that because it only reminds me that I don't fit in as I mutter.

'I had people recognizing who I was before I started dating Lex, but those were mostly people from the business. This is on a whole other level, but so far everyone seems nice.'

'Of course, everyone seems nice. That's what we do, handsome. We all appear as the perfect version of ourselves at these events, we can't afford to look bad.'

Ryan chuckles amused, earning a scowl from Kendall as he mutters rocking his head in disapproval.

'You make it sound like we're all stuck-up bastards out for blood.'

'Most of these people are and he should know! It would make us bad friends if we didn't at least warn him to be on his guard. It would be like throwing a cub into a fucking lion's den.'

Ryan snaps to Kendall who can only huff a sigh, not able to deny it either as he turns his head to me and mutters.

'Ryan is right about keeping your guard up, not everyone is as nice as they may seem. But most of us aren't half that bad. Just trust your gut feeling and you'll be fine.'

'Hmph, my point in case...'

Ryan mutters in a low voice, annoyedly gesturing over to a woman who's on her way over to us. Kendall doesn't seem too amused either recognizing the determined gleam in the woman's eyes as he quickly whispers to me in warning.

'He's right, definitely watch your back with this one...'

He finishes just in time before the woman comes into earshot. Flashing all of us a dazzling smile before kissing Kendall's cheek as she giggles overly excited.

'Darling... I had no idea you were going to be here! I see you've brought Ryan too... And who's this?'

She questions her lips perked with interest. They didn't even have to warn me to begin with... I think to myself since the woman quickly gave herself away. There wasn't a soul around here who hadn't heard I was Lexi's husband to be. I fake a smile, stretching my hand as I tell her trying to sound sincere.

'Matt Blackwell. Nice to meet you miss.'

She gives it a soft shake, smiling brightly as Kendall reluctantly introduces her to me.

'Matt. This is Jinney Bianchi. She's an Italian supermodel who I've worked with several times in the past.'

'Nice meeting you, Jinney.'

I tell her with half a smile before pulling my hand back. Not liking the way she's eying me over in the slightest. She reminds me of Charlotte, she has the same sneaky gleam twinkling in her eyes... I grumble to myself, the hairs on the back of my neck instantly standing on end. She's trouble... Just like Charlotte would do Jinney ignores the hostile vibe around her, laughing softly as she replies.

'Nice to meet you too, Matt. If the others don't mind, would you please be so kind to share a dance with me? I haven't had the chance yet and maybe that would give us some time to ...get to know each other?'

The shameless way in which she almost forces me to be her dance partner is almost commendable. I look over to the men, hoping they'll come to my rescue but they both usher me to just do as she says. Thanks, fellars! I groan inwardly as I hold out my hand for hers to take. She greedily accepts, almost tackling herself against my frame the second we step onto the dancefloor. Swiftly I draw back a bit, creating a bit more room as we start to dance and she murmurs with a hint of astonishment.

'You're good at this.'

'Yeah, took lessons as a kid.'

I mumble back trying to look anywhere but her. It's not that she isn't beautiful, she's a model for a reason. But there's nothing about her that draws me to her. I never understood how people found these tall bony models attractive. I sigh, glancing through the room between our twirls looking for Lexi but I can't seem to spot her. I'd rather have my tiny curly minx with me right now... I breathe. Her curves are something I can at least hold onto. I think unable to suppress a smile. I love the way she normally has to stand on her toes to even come close to my face.

'You look like you're enjoying yourself.'

Jinney hums as she tries to pull me closer. Luckily for me, strength is on my side and I manage to keep our positions. Keeping her claws away from me as far as humanly possible while I mumble with a bored tone.

'It's fine... You're not too bad yourself.'

She barks a laugh, as if I've just told her the best joke she's ever heard before she whispers huskily.

'It helps when the sturdy man holding you knows what he's doing... Tell me Matt, are you the kind of man who knows how to treat a woman both in public ...and in closed quarters?'

Her question and sultry tone immediately cause for a shiver to run over my back, and not the good kind! I clear my throat, wrecking my brain about how to get out of this situation asap when I suddenly hear a familiar voice from behind us making me stop in my tracks.

'He undoubtedly does, Jinney. I hope you don't mind if I cut in? I've barely danced with my man all night...'

Thank fuck! Perfect timing, love. I breathe relieved as I turn around. The possessive sneer in Lexi's voice is unmistakable as she graciously pulls me back to her side. Damn, your sexy whenever you're jealous. I think as smile down at her, pecking her cheek before the both of us turn our attention back to Jinney. She continues to smile, although her eyes betray her. Glaring at Lexi as she says with a clipped voice.

'Lexi... I had no idea this was the man everyone was going on about. You certainly managed to find yourself a diamond in the rough.'

'Precious he is... Rough too, if I want him to be.'

Lexi smirks before plucking me away, tangling herself in my arms when the two of us start to dance. Mmm... When you want it, huh? I smirk as she grumbles something under her breath, resting her head against my chest and I can't help but laugh.

'Real smooth.'

I tease before twirling her around. She gives me a victorious grin as she swirls back to me, hugging me tight to her as she cussed through clenched teeth.

'Like I care. The bitch should be glad I didn't slap her pretty face.'

'I gotta commend you... I honestly expected you too.'

I proudly beam down at her. She rolls her eyes, laughing softly as she mumbles burying herself deeper against my chest.

'Too many cameras around... Not to mention the lawsuits for damaging her money-making goods. They're a real pain in the ass, trust me. It's not worth it.'

I chuckle amused hearing that's what she's worried about as I lace my arm underneath her back, dipping her back while I drag my other hand over her cleavage and whisper.

'So seeing me dance with another woman isn't worth the hassle?'

Her burning eyes catch mine and I adore the dominant glimmer inside of them as she squints before bending her way back to me while she scoffs.

'She isn't a woman but a goddamn skank... And believe me, I was hanging on by a thread the second the boys came scurrying my way and told me what was going on. She has fucked three-quarters of the men present tonight, ruining more relationships than you can imagine.'

'Don't you trust me?'

I breathe against her ear. My low voice causing her muscles to relax in my hold as she cups my cheek with her hand, making me look down at her as she replies honestly.

'With every bone in my body... Jinney on the other hand, I just trust her as far as I can throw her.'

I smile at her answer, pecking her lips as she moves her body against mine. Her eyes holding me captive behind her sparkly mask, bringing me back to the night of her birthday party. You're even more captivating than back then, no one who could ever lure me away from you... I breathe as twirl her once more, catching her back to me just as easy when the song comes to an end and I murmur.

'Walk with me?'

She nods her head, drawing back so I can guide her. Lexi's hands tangled around my arm as she leans her head against my shoulder while we walk towards the garden together. The both of us suck in a deep breath as soon as the chill evening air brushes against our skin. The music in the background starting to dim down the further we stroll along.

We both admire the diversity of flowers until I stop in front of one of the benches, ushering her to come and sit with me. She happily delves into my arms, sitting next to me while I draw her legs over my lap. Caressing them softly as her feet dangle in midair and she turns just enough so she's able to look up at me. So beautiful... I breathe as the lanterns around us cause her eyes to twinkle, making my heart tremor as she whispers sweetly.

'I love you, Matty...'

'Hmhh... What did I do to earn that out of the blue?'

I ask with a teasing smile. She nudges me as if to say "stop complaining and kiss me already", making me smile even harder as I tell her fondly.

'I love you too, beautiful...'

She sighs content, her fingers playing with my mask as she says with a wistful tone in her voice.

'This sure takes me back... Can I tell you a secret?'

'Always...'

I reply, holding her gaze as I do the sam. Letting my fingers brush past her sparkly mask while she leans into my touch with a smile playing on her lips and whispers.

'I've probably watched Zorro over a hundred times over the past years... At first, I used the excuse that you were pestering me about the fact I didn't recognize what you were supposed to look like in your costume. But in truth, I just watched it because it reminded me of you that night...'

'I did make a pretty decent attempt, didn't I?'

I joke, remembering all the work I did to get my look spot-on. Only to get scolded by my little queen of hearts since I hadn't been wearing the damn hat! I chuckle softly, briefly looking up at the sky. Which wasn't even my fault since the dog we had at the time decided it looked good for supper. Lexi laughs, the memories of that night playing through her head as well while she says humoredly.

'I felt like I was gonna pass out when I saw you standing there in that tux.'

'I feared you wouldn't like it at all... If I recall correctly you even accused me of wearing a shirt with two holes around my head...'

I grin, knowing all too well she liked what she was seeing that nighf. Your fiery cheeks told me so. I think as she slaps my chest, her complexion flaring now as well while she snorts.

'I had to keep up my act of defiance somehow, didn't I?'

I tilt her chin up, tracing her lower lip with my thumb as I keep my piercing gaze on her and murmur.

'I wish you hadn't...'

'I know...'

She sulks, admitting that clearly hadn't been the right move back in the day before planting her lips on mine. I eagerly return her kiss, plucking at her lip earning a soft moan which gives me the opening to delve my tongue inside her mouth. God, I wish either one of us had found the courage to kiss the other back then... I groan as she hungrily kisses me back. All the things I had to miss out on because of that damn night... I swear silently, even if I wouldn't change a thing looking back on it. We'd overcome so many hurdles together. The good and the bad had all led up to this... We wouldn't have been the same couple without it ...in hindsight, I think it only made us stronger towards the end. I break away from our kiss, panting heavily as I murmur in a soft tone.

'You know... You weren't the only one remenicing about that night...'

I smile at her while I get down on my knees before her. Her eyes follow me with wonder as I pull out a little box from the pocket of my slacks. Holding it out to her as I whisper.

'Since I didn't get to do this when I asked you to marry me, I figured this would be a great way to make up for it...'

She clasps her hands in front of her mouth, her eyes glazing over as she tries not to squeal with excitement when I open the box. Her pendant necklace laying inside with a new chain placed around it. I've carried it with me for quite some time now. She'd asked me numerous times when she could get it back, but I wanted to give it back to her at a special moment. The engraved side turned upward this time around as I tell her, my voice laced with emotion.

'I should've done this the first time around... Lexi Davins... My beautiful little vixen, I love you more than words could ever describe. The second you leave my sight there's an emptiness inside my heart I could do my entire life without. I get drawn to you like a magnet. Every movement you make fascinates me... Your wittiness and snarky comments make me laugh like no one else can. You're the only woman who has ever managed to piss me off and rile me up at the same time, but I wouldn't want to have it any other way. You are my one and only love, so would you please do me the honor of accepting this necklace for a second time? This time knowing fully well the meaning it holds behind it? Since I am, and forever will be, yours to have and to hold. You're the one that possesses my heart and all I can ask for is that you'll never let go of it again. Like I promise to devote myself to you completely. Swearing I'll do everything in my power to fill your life with joy and happiness until I've taken my last breath on this earth. '

She rapidly nods her head, unable to hold back tears as she tackles me by throwing her arms around my neck. I chuckle, steading the both of us before we tumble onto the ground. Her fingers cling onto my collar and hair trembling ever so slightly as she croaks out between her snivels.

'Of course, I will you silly! You're my one true love and I'm not going anywhere without you... God, Matty! I love you so damn much...'

I brush her hair, willing her to look up at me as I hold out the necklace and ask.

'Can I do the honor?'

She smiles before turning in my lap so I can place the pendant back around her neck. I peck her cheek, as she plays with the chain. A faraway look in her eyes as she whispers merrily.

'You're getting more and more romantic by the day.'

'And you're getting more and more emotional.'

I joke kissing her shoulder when I notice her muscles jolt slightly. I fur my brow, wondering what's wrong as I turn her face so she'll look at me. She bites her lip looking away again as if she's fighting some kind of internal battle making me even more anxious. Even if you just said you aren't going anywhere, you look like you're about to run for the hills right this second. I think as I draw her up to me, kissing her once more. Plucking that damn cute lip from between her teeth in the meantime, trying to show her that whatever it is she's struggling with she can tell me.

'That's unfair...'

She huffs averting her gaze, looking even more vulnerable than before. You should be excited right now, not down in the dumps... I wince as her demeanor now seriously starts to worry me and I try to shift her so she's facing me. But she shakes her head, delving her face in the crook of my neck as she whispers barely audible.

'I can't keep anything a secret from you anymore, can I?'

'Babe, just tell me what the hell is going on... You know you can tell me anything, right?'

I tell her, trying to soothe her as I rub her thighs with the palm of my hand. She makes a sound and I'm not sure whether she's laughing or crying as she starts talking in a soft voice.

'I haven't been feeling good lately, so I went to see the doctor the other day...'

I look down at her, my entire world coming to a standstill as I even forget to breathe for a second. The doctor? Wh-What? I blink as my muscles start to shake forcibly, causing my hand to twitch against her skin while I clear my throat. Trying to get rid of the lump before I force the words out of my mouth, begging to God I'm wrong.

'Please don't tell me you're sick and are going to die on me, because I'll lose my shit if that's what you're trying to say...'

This time I'm sure she's laughing, giving me the slightest sense of relief as she shakes her head reassuring me that's not it. Then what?! I wonder as I try to make her look up at me, but she sternly keeps her head tucked down. Grabbing my hand away from her face and bringing it down, softly placing it over her stomach with hers on top of it as she blushes.

'I'm this kind of ill, Matty...'

I blink again, completely dumbfounded as she carefully peers up at me. My mouth hanging open as I'm trying to say something, anything, but I come up empty. Y-You're... I shake my head. My silence scaring her as she quickly averts her eyes again, tears burning inside them as her fingers quiver over mine and she croaks.

'I k-know we haven't talked about th-this... I didn't even think it was p-possible, but... It's just~ Please say something, Matt! I didn't know h-how to tell you and now you've gone c-completely numb on me and it's f-freaking me out!'

She yelps, burying her head in her hands. I shake my head trying to tear myself out of my stupor as I grab her hair forcing her head back up. Y-You're... I stammer silently. Still tongue-tied and unable to utter a common phrase, even in my thoughts, looking down at her in awe before crashing my mouth on top of hers. W-We're... I breathe, kissing her with all my might as I continue to protectively clamp my hand over her stomach. She cups my face with both of her hands, her movements desperate as she hangs onto my lips like it's a lifeline. I keep my other hand tangled up in her hair, gently drawing her back after a minute or two while I ask breathlessly.

'You're ...p-pregnant?'

'Yes...'

He answers, her voice barely a whisper. I shake my head again, still incapable to wrap my mind around it.

'You're bearing ...my child?'

I implore, my brain in need of a more specific validation that this is really happening.

'No, I'm pregnant with the deliveryman's child! Of course, it's yours Matty!'

She scoffs with a laugh, yanking at my hair in the process. I'm unable to read her features as it's now my turn to break down. Crushing her against my chest, sobbing like a fool as I shower her head with kisses and stammer completely captivated.

'Dios Mio, you're not joking? H-How is that even possible? I thought you said you couldn't~'

'I didn't think it was possible either, but the doc showed me. I even heard a little heartbeat, Matty...'

I hold her even tighter, tears pouring down my face as I keep giving her doting kisses. Feeling as if my heart is about to explode from bliss.

'So I take it you're n-not mad?'

Lexi mumbles against my chest making me stop in my tracks as I force her to look up at me and bawl.

'Mad?! Sweetheart, you're going to give me the most precious gift anyone could ever grant me in this entire world! Why would you even consider that a possibility?'

'Well... It's just that I had no idea if you even wanted kids to begin with. My IUD should've prevented this, but then the damn thing fell out without me noticing... I know we didn't exactly intend for this to happen so I had no idea how you'd feel or react. I've been silently freaking out for days about it!'

Lexi rambles like a mad woman, all of the worries and fear she had pouring out like a waterfall she's not able to hold back but all I can do is laugh as I murmur.

'You're telling me you lost your IUD?'

She eyes me, confirming that she's not kidding about that. Only causing me to laugh harder as I give her a playful kiss and snort.

'I can totally see that happening after some of the nights we had.'

She giggles too, her cheeks ablaze as she mutters not able to look me in the eye.

'Yeah, erm, that was what I was thinking when the doc told me about it. Imagine how mortified I was trying to explain to that him.'

My chest rumbles with laughter, picturing Lexi at the doc's office trying to justify how she hadn't noticed something like that transpiring. I'm guessing the guy wasn't even asking for an explanation, which only makes this all the funnier. I chuckle to myself, capturing her face and kissing her again. My God, I'm going to be a dad! I breathe, the two of us still sitting on the floor in front of the park bench. Weeping and laughing like a bunch of crazy people.

'How about we get out of here?'

I whisper, cradling her in my arms not in the mood to mingle any longer. She nods in agreeance, her fingers tracing the wet fabric of my mask as she bites her lip eager to tare it off. I must look like a complete idiot with my bloodshot eyes and frazzled hair, smiling so hard it feels like my face is about to break. I think to myself. By now glad that I've still got my mask on as I stand up, carrying Lexi in bridal style towards the parking lot.

'Matt, I can walk!'

She giggles, not even making an effort to break loose as I mumble lovingly.

'I don't care, you're not gonna.'

'What about my stuff?'

She protests, her actions doing the exact opposite as she tangles her arms around my neck. Planting her nose in my neck, drawing a deep breath.

'You done making excuses yet? I've got my phone with me I'll text the others, it'll be fine.'

I chuckle, kissing her head as I walk us both along the outskirts of the venue. Not even putting her down when I hail us both a cab. Luckily for the both of us all of the paparazzi are still inside, trying to gather pictures of fraternizing couples giving us the time to get away unseen. I look down at her, making sure she understands we're not going back in there under any circumstances making Lexi chuckle.

'Fine, abduct me. Make sure to text Bhek's though... She already knows and is dying to tell everyone else.'

'Is that why she was acting all weird this afternoon?! You told her before me?'

I try to sound offended but failing miserably at it while I keep her tugged against my side.

'She kept questioning me about our wedding date! I had no choice but to come clean since I knew I wouldn't be able to fit in my dress by then!'

She lifts her hands giggling, pleading it's not her fault before giving the cab driver our home address. Meanwhile, I pull out my phone from my pocket shooting Rebekah a text. *Taking my gorgeous baby mamá home with me! Can you make sure to take our stuff with you when you leave? Lex said you already knew, sneaky shrew... For all I care you go and scream it from the rooftops now you've received this. God knows, I will!* I grin, pressing sent before tugging my phone back into my pocket.

***

The second we arrive at home I pick her up again, carrying her all the way up to the bedroom. Carefully I place her down on the bed, my hands enticed as I gently caress every inch of her skin and breathe.

'I love you so much...'

My burning gaze holds her prisoner as I tower over her, being careful not to place any weight on her belly afraid it could hurt our little baby.

'You've made me the happiest man on earth. God, I wanna make love to you all night long beautiful...'

I whisper, cautiously slipping the mask off her face so I can finally see her face. She whimpers blissfully in response, her eyes damp with tears as her fingers move frantically over my face trying to get rid of my mask as well. Calm down love, it's still me underneath. I smile as she cusses in frustration, the wet material making it harder for her to remove. Her breath immediately gets caught in her throat the second she does, her trembling fingertips drying the skin underneath my eyes as she whispers affectionately.

'I'm so happy, you're happy...'

Happy doesn't even come close to what I'm feeling right now! I think to myself placing feverish kisses all over her face. She tries to delve her hands in my hair but I capture them both, gently placing them above her head. Kissing from the corner of her eye, down to her jaw and neck.

My mouth is still busy sucking and licking at the crook of her neck while I drag her up against me so I can unzip the back of her dress. The sensation of my mouth and beard, along with my gruff hands sliding down her back causes her to moan in pleasure. You're so goddamn sexy! I groan as I place her back down on the bed. Taking my sweet time as I slowly peel the dress off her body, my mouth following at the same paste. Kissing and licking my way down, making sure I admire every inch of her exposed skin.

She writhes under my touch, panting feverishly as she clutches onto the sheets beneath her. Absolute goddamn perfection! A soft growl leaves my lips the second I spot the black lace lingerie she's wearing, flicking my tongue over the fabric before I grunt.

'Damn, you really weren't kidding when you said you were wet enough to change underwear.'

Referring to the red piece she'd been teasing me with earlier tonight. The knowledge of that turning me on even more as she groans in response. I drag my fingers along the curve of her breasts before rolling the dress further down her body, placing heated kisses all over her skin until I reach her abdomen. I glance up at her before placing a tender kiss just over her belly button while I whisper.

'Your mommy and daddy already adore you so much little one... Dios Mio, I'm going to spoil you rotten from the second I get to hold you in my arms!'

I rumble the last sentence, tickling her skin with my mouth causing Lexi to giggle. When I glance back over to her she tilts her head, a delicate smile on her features as she drags a hand through my hair and sighs.

'I like the sound of that, you ...being a father.'

'Sweetheart, I swear if she's is going to be a tiny version of you? She doesn't even have to try to wrap me around her little finger ...because I'd be whipped from the very start.'

I groan, cradling her stomach with my hands. Kissing it over and over again making Lexi squirm in a fit of giggles. Digging her fingers through my hair, tugging on it until she manages to capture my face. Her hands compel me to gaze back up at her while she whispers stroking my beard.

'You know... There's also the possibility he's a handsome little boy... Resembling his daddy with raven hair and shining green eyes.'

'Baby I don't care whether it's a boy or a girl, I'm going to treasure that little one either way... Knowing we managed to create such a tiny miracle together? ...I still can't believe it.'

I tell her beaming with pride as I brush my lips past her abdomen once more. A sudden realization bringing me to a screeching halt as I look up at her and ask.

'It is one, right?'

Since she and Rebekah are twins... I suddenly wonder if she could be pregnant with two babies as well. Dios Mio... She laughs at the thought, propping herself on her elbows as she says.

'As far as the doctor could see it's just one... He couldn't be a hundred percent certain though. Are you sure you're ready for that if it turns out we're having twins after all?'

'Baby, I'm from Spanish heritage. For all I care you wanna breed an entire football team! I'd cherish every single one of them.'

I grin, cupping her face. One, six, nine? Darling, as long as they're ours I want them all! My heart hammers against my ribcage with the thought of having our own little bunch of minions crawling around the house. She smiles back at me, her eyes glimmering with joy as she leans into my touch. Her hands gripping onto my waistcoat causing me to tumble on top of her as she pulls me into a kiss. A part of me instinctively jumps knowing I'm leaning my full weight on her, but she only holds onto me tighter snickering against my mouth.

'Don't worry Matty... Just because I'm expecting doesn't mean I'm fragile all of a sudden.'

'I'm just worried I might hurt you or the baby... Are you sure you're alright? Can we even~'

I mumble like an idiot, causing Lexi to chuckle even harder as she places her finger over my mouth in order to shut me up. Her nose brushing past mine while she whispers teasingly.

'Babe, stop. You're not going to hurt either of us and we can be intimate just fine. Not even you are that big.'

I lift my brow at her last comment, deciding I'll let it slide for now before I turn my attention back on her body as I groan against her ear.

'Well, I guess that's good news...'

I gently bite the soft spot on her neck, knowing how it drives her crazy whenever I do that while I let my hands trace down her body. Continuing where I left off, I wrap my fingers around the fabric of her dress which still clings on her hips.  Holding it there as I kiss my way down over her breasts, then over her precious belly until I reach her pelvic bone. My mouth and fingers driving her crazy as I inch the dress down revealing her black thong.

I plant a kiss on the little bow in the middle before glancing down, noticing they're soaked. The gorgeous sight works like an aphrodisiac, turning me mad with lust as I tear the last part of the dress off her. Hungrily kissing and biting her thighs, earning a frantic moan in return before I dive back onto her panties. She delves her hands back into my hair, and this time I don't bother to stop her as I focus on the little straps clinging onto her hips.

You know bloody well how to drive me crazy... I groan, wishing nothing more but to rip the teasing fabric off of her. But I refrain myself, remembering the last time I did that and she scolded me for ruining all of her most expensive underwear. You're asking for it though... You know exactly the impact that kind of lingerie has on me and what happens if you wear it. I heave against her bare skin, admiring her taste. Three black straps tying a minuscule piece of lace together can barely pass for everyday underwear. Provocative and alluring, yes. Modest, hell no. I groan, kissing her hip before tugging my teeth at the frill. More like fucking pornstar material. I grunt, unraveling them one by one. Not that I'd ever allow it. I grin, my slow movements causing her to shiver as I first focus on the three tied to the right, before turning to the ones on the left.

Purposely holding them in place with my thumbs, not allowing the fabric to slide down once it comes loose as I position myself between her crotch. Fuck! I breathe, her arousal so strong I easily catch her scent before I bury my face between her legs. Not able to suppress a growl as I inhale deeply. Carefully I slip my tongue past the semi-see-through lace covering her sex, earning a moan in return. You taste so good! I think as I glance up at her, my eyes filled with a carnal lust. My demeanor makes her suck a deep breath as she looks back at me through her hooded laches.

'Oh, fuck!'

She pants as soon as I delve back between her legs, sucking on her clit through the fabric of her panties. The gruff feeling of the material caught between her pussy and my mouth causing her to shudder as she tilts her head back in delight.

'So damn sexy...'

I groan against her skin, kissing along the line of her hip before ripping the fabric aside completely. Without warning, I slip a finger inside of her to examine how turned on she truly is. Jesus fuck.

'M-Matt~'

She whimpers at the sudden sensation. Hollowing her back as she presses her hips tighter against my hand. Like that? I bend my finger, pressing against her weak spot before drawing back and smacking her ass as I demand.

'I thought I told you not to say that...'

She whines at the loss of my touch, squirming underneath me as she murmurs frustratedly.

'Y-You can't be serious... Please, I need more...'

I kiss my way back over her belly, biting down on her nipples through her bra hard enough to make her yelp. I grin triumphantly, driving my crotch against her soaked pussy while I grunt.

'Deadly serious, beautiful.'

She tries to hold my hips captive with her legs, moaning as she feels my raging hard-on pressing against her through my jeans. But I won't let her get her way as I smack her ass again and tell her in a low voice.

'On your knees, now.'

My strict tone leaves no room for her to argue as I easily flip her over. A definite pro of having a tiny girlfriend, I can easily toss her around the bedroom. She plops down with an "Oof", instinctively propping her ass up. You're only acting this obedient with me when you're horny... I grin, her actions making me chuckle while I rub the palm of my hand against one of her cheeks preparing her for what's to come.

'Admit it. You like it whenever I get rough with you...'

'Never.'

She breathes, her thighs already quivering in anticipation. Little lier... I smirk bringing down my hand on the spot I was massaging.

'A-Ah!'

She gasps at the impact, her muscles spasming as I go back to rubbing the soft red spot and whisper.

'You even admitted it earlier at the party to that girl ...Jinney was it?'

She cusses at the sound of her name, but before she can snap her head back in my direction I smack her ass again in the exact same spot. Slightly harder, causing her to groan and shudder.

'If I recall correctly you said~ Precious he is... Rough too, if I want him to be.'

She whines at my words, her chest heaving frantically as I slide my hands along her hips, over her spine, and down to her breasts. Giving them both a tight squeeze as I press myself against her and inquire, my voice low.

'So I'll ask once more... Answer me truthfully this time. Because I'll know if you're lying, beautiful. Do you like it when I teach you a lesson?'

'Ahh! Y-Yes!'

She screams, slamming her head against my shoulder when I pinch both her nipples at the same time. Meanwhile, her ass briefly digs in my groin while I tackle her neck with my mouth. Now we're getting somewhere. I grin, playing her body like a puppet master. One hand still busy with her breasts while I slip the other between her legs. Giving her a brief moment of pleasure, my fingers circling around her wet clit before I force her back on all fours and ask.

'Yes, who?'

She looks over at me, her eyes pleading to end this torture before she whispers.

'Yes ...M-Matteo.'

I tilt my head, a smile on my lips hearing my full name roll from her luscious lips but still not entirely satisfied.

'Common now... You know that won't do. Yes, Matteo ...what?'

I breathe against the tainted spot on her ass, pressing a soft kiss on it as soon as I'm done speaking before smacking my hand across her other cheek.

'Oh, G-God! Yes Matteo, i-it fucking t-turns me on when you sp-spank me!'

She yelps between a moan, her body jolting in response. Mhmm, that's more like it. I groan kissing the tingling red spot that's now on her other cheek, drawing another whimper from her mouth.

'Just the spanking?'

I rasp, scraping my teeth over her ass as I slip one of my fingers past her slit. She quivers in delight, digging her head in one of her pillows trying to refrain herself from making another sound. Fuck, darling... I grunt against her ass, aware she's even more drenched than before. A few more slaps against that tight ass of yours and your juices will be running down your thighs. I grin as I continue teasing her entrance with one of my fingers until she finally yelps at the end of her whits.

'F-Fuck, baby! No, n-not just the sp-spanking! Your f-flirtatious kisses, a-also those t-t-teasing strokes... Wh-Whenever you're gentle ...or take me r-rough. Everything you do dr-drives me wild, M-Matteo!'

She cries the last part, breathing heavily as she lifts her head back up so she can look at me while she screams my name. That's what I wanted to hear. I grunt in response to her words, grinning shamelessly as I slip two fingers in and out of her.

'Mmhm, a-ahh-rgh!'

She almost cusses at the immediate loss of my touch, making a chuckle erupt deep within my throat. Her stormy eyes still burn into mine as I bring my hand up to my mouth dying to have another taste of her. She watches panting feverishly as I slowly lick her delicious honey off my fingertips.

'So damn delicious...'

I moan, driving my crotch against her ass. She clutches the sheets, trying not to break eye contact as her muscles shake excitedly against me. Begging for more attention as I gradually start unbuckling my pants. The torturous slow paste in which I'm moving compels Lexi to ride her damp pussy against my pants while she moans.

'You better h-hurry that hot ass of yours ...or I'll make myself c-cum riding your pants.'

'You'll do no such thing.'

I growl, grabbing her neck and hoisting her up to me. She grins, her ass still buried against my raging boner, who's begging to be set free from my pants as she leans back against my chest and breathes.

'And here I thought you were afraid to manhandle me...'

I maintain my grasp around her neck, bringing my face next to her ear. Softly nibbling on her earlobe while I shove my pants down and murmur.

'You assured me you could take it.'

She groans, winded with excitement as she covers my hand around her neck with hers. Her pussy teasing my boner the second it manages to spring free as she rocks her hips, willing me to enter. Not before I say so... With my loose hand, I grab her side forcing her to stop. Taking back control as I glide my cock past her soaking lips and ask in a deep baritone.

'Can you take it, gorgeous?'

'Y-Yes!'

She whimpers, her hand diving between her legs. Forcing the tip of my cock inside of her, desperate for me to fuck her. God, you're the perfect mixture of submissive and domineering. I growl against her neck. Pulling her down on top of me in one swift move, giving in to her desires.

Her warm slick walls instantly clench onto my cock once I'm all the way inside her, making us both groan and moan in ecstasy. You're everything I ever wanted! I grunt as I take a moment so she can adjust, yanking her bra loose in the meantime and quickly throwing it aside. My hand instantly back to her neck the second that last restriction is gone, the other playing with her breasts while I slowly drag my dick back out. Leaving just the tip inside of her before jamming it all the way back in.

'M-Mattheo!'

She gasps as I stretch her out again. A perfect fit. I grunt, kissing her neck. Relishing in the delicious sounds she's making as I continue to work my way in and out of her. My fingers stroking and pinching her hardened nipples causing her muscles to twitch involuntarily as she moans wildly.

'Ahh, Lexi!'

I groan as I slide my hand from her breasts down over her abdomen, cradling it before I start increasing my paste. Slamming into her with short, hard strokes as I grunt against her ear.

'Fuck! You're going to be the sexiest mamá to ever exist.'

She brings her arm up over her shoulder, grabbing the back of my neck. Trying to hold me even closer against her as she hollows her back, giving me a perfect view of her bouncing tits as she cries between ragged breaths.

'Damn, Matty... You're so ...hot.'

I give a roguish smile before pulling her in for a kiss. Delving my tongue into her mouth as I continue fucking her. Her butt slapping against my thighs every time I drive back into her while I tower over her shoulders.

Her frame almost completely disappears in mine as she breaks away from our kiss, panting for air while she starts rolling her hips matching my rhythm. I know she's on the verge of her orgasm when I feel her walls start to contract around my member and she begins to move even faster. Not so fast, darling. I growl, my dominant side quickly taking control as I tightly grasp her body against mine, pressing my chest against her back even harder refraining her from further movement.

'P-Please...'

She whimpers at a lack of better words, ravenous for her release. I shush her, dragging my lip past her jaw more than willing to give her what she's hungry for. Only on my terms though. She continues to squirm for another few seconds until she begrudgingly surrenders herself within my hold.

'Mhm, good girl.'

I rasp against her skin, gently biting down on her shoulder. She shudders from anticipation, her trembling thighs begging me to move. Any second now, beautiful. I think, and the second I feel her loosen up around me I start to pound into her at a relentless pace.

The sudden ferocity causes her to cry out in pleasure as I bury one of my hands between her legs. Attacking her body on all fronts. My fingers rotating around her clit as I keep increasing my speed. So damn tight! I grunt as her pussy clenches around me, nearly making me come with her.

'Ah-ahh! Mm~'

She groans as she comes undone, spilling herself all over my cock. Not nearly enough. I breathe harsly, determained to give her an orgasm she'll never forget. I continue to screw her as wave after wave of pleasure rolls over her, my fingers rubbing her swollen clit even more furiously.

'F-Fuck, don't!'

She screams as she instinctively tries to close her legs, but I force them to stay open. Leaning back slightly as I spread her legs even wider, hooking them behind mine as I bury myself balls-deep inside of her. Moving my fingers as if my life depends on it until her body starts to shake even more violently.

'...Ah-aaah!'

She squeals in ecstasy. Her eyes flying wide open as a second orgasm hits her so hard and intense she starts squirting on the bed. Drenching me in her sweet cum as well. Mmm, that's new... I growl at the sight, flicking my fingers against her clit once more.

'Oahh~ Ah-mmm!'

She yelps as another stream gushes out making my cock throb inside of her. The continuous loop of pleasure leaves her gasping for air and I slowly pull my fingers away as she rides out her high, not sure how much longer I can hold on myself.

'Now that's what I call hot!'

I groan, earning an exhausted chuckle in response. Her hips still rolling slowly as if she's in a trance, persistent to drive me over the brink as well.

'Still haven't had enough?'

I smirk at her before tossing her forward. She reacts just in time to catch herself on her forearms, only for them to be plucked away again to get tucked behind her back as I align myself behind her once more. Sweet lord, if this is what it's going to be like now you're pregnant I'm all for it! A hungry grunt leaves my lips when I see her wet thighs, her muscles quivering for more even if she's already completely drained.

'Don't worry, love... I'm not done with you yet.'

I promise as I tease her sticky lips. The veins on my cock pulsing with the need to cum, nearly ready to blow by just looking at the gorgeous sight in front of me. She bites down on her pillow, almost as if that would help her to stay alive while she begs her voice husk and raw.

'Then fuck me, Mattheo...'

She doesn't have to repeat herself as I instantly slam into her. Still holding her hands captive as she cries out against her pillow in shock. Damn! Her slick pussy vibrates around my cock, coaxing a string of moans from my lips as I bang her from behind. Admiring the view as I watch her pleading body beneath me. Her ass needily sticking in the air while her face and breasts are pressed down into the mattress. The submissive position she's in and the sound of her slippery slit sliding over my dick, along with her delicious ass smacking against me is enough to drive me over the edge within a matter of seconds. I let go of her hands grabbing hold of her hips and harshly driving into her one last time causing me to ejaculate deep inside of her.

'F-Fuck, sweetheart!'

I curse as my dick continues to pulsate inside of her making her whimper in contentment. The sound of our moans mixing together as we each struggle for air making it even more intense. She rolls her hips one last time, causing me to shudder against her while I grip her ass more tightly and groan.

'Goddammit, Lex!'

She breathes a laugh, forcing her head up so she can look at me. Her eyes watery and drunk with passion as she wobbles on her hands and feet, murmuring condescendingly in between uneven breaths.

'Now you kn-know ... how I ... f-felt.'

She curls her hips again making my still ridgid cock jerk with satisfaction, enticing another moan from my lips. Fuck! She grins wickedly at my demise and I'm sure she just made come some more. God, you tantalizing little thing... I grunt as her eyes shine with the desire to do it again, but I won't permit it. Steadying her hips with my brusque hands as I slowly drag myself out of her. She sighs, both relieved and dissatisfied as I lean back. Using my arms for support as I briefly glance down to my crotch, unable to suppress a chuckle.

'Look what a mess you've made...'

I tease with a naughty grin, pointing at my doused trousers which are still hanging on my hips. Not even bothered to wave over to the rest of the bed as she slumps down, completely worn out and murmurs laughingly.

'Your fault...'

'Mmhmm~ I'll gladly be the cause of that any day...'

I rumble, sprawling down next to her. Kicking off my pants before drawing her to my chest. She blushes, a smile playing on her lips as she pecks mine before she starts lazily unbuttoning my waistcoat. I don't complain, I've wanted to get rid of this thing as soon as we walked through the door but lacked the patience to do it. I heave as her fingers swiftly work their way down, continuing with the blouse. Brushing her nails over my skin, following the lines of my chest tattoo until she places her palm over my heart. Laughing quietly when she still feels it thundering from pure and utter bliss. And that my love ...is your fault. I give her a cheeky smirk in return, kissing her temple before shrugging the fabric down my arms and tossing it next to the bed. I pull her tight against my chest as she plays with the features on my face and whispers.

'Matty... I'm so happy...'

'So am I, beautiful...'

I breathe, planting a loving kiss on her lips before turning her in my hold. She sighs content, curling up as I spoon her from behind. I can't wait to see that precious belly of yours grow... I think joyously, wrapping my arm around her middle. My fingers tracing the line of her stomach as I bury my nose in her hair and whisper.

'Go sleep my gorgeous baby mamá... You've earned it.'

She smiles softly, her eyes already closed as she nudges closer against me. Her arm folded over mine when I place another kiss on her cheek. The two of us slowly drifting off to sleep together while I murmur tiredly before slumber takes me over entirely.

'...I love you.'
