Cohen remarks with a chuckle, “Indeed, we can pause to visit Gramps and Gran before returning home.”
“Hooray!”She emits a high-pitched sound. Ava and Beckham have embraced Alyssa as their granddaughter, showering her with affection and indulgences. In the absence of my parents, I contemplated that Alyssa might never have grandparents. I reclined, and my eyelids felt exceedingly weighty.
Upon awakening, the clock indicates it is 12:02 PM. I slept for two complete hours, which I required. I currently feel significantly improved. I feel rejuvenated. I descend the stairs, where Cohen and Alyssa are in the kitchen; Cohen is reheating leftovers for lunch.
“You appear improved!”He smiles and approaches to embrace me. I inhale his enticing aroma and relish the sensation of his body pressed against mine.
“Mmm.” Thank you for permitting me to rest. I acknowledge that I feel significantly improved now.
“Inform me whenever you require a respite.” I am indifferent to the nature of my meetings, whether they pertain to packing or business. I will either cancel or reschedule. “I do not wish for you to feel fatigued and deprived of rest,” he adds. I consider myself the most fortunate woman on Earth to have a supportive and compassionate partner.
“I appreciate it,” I exclaim with enthusiasm.
We convene to partake in lunch collectively. I made a dinner reservation for tonight, as I thought we could have family dinner night a few days early this week. Cohen informs me, “I have an occasion I wish to celebrate.”
“What is the occasion for your celebration?””
“It is an unexpected revelation,” he exclaims with a mischievous grin. That smile is alluring. I experience highly sensual thoughts regarding my attractive partner. The actions of those lips profoundly affect me and my physique.
“Babe,” he laughs, interrupting my impure thoughts.
“Indeed?”“I inquire.”
Your gaze, coupled with your lip-biting and the manner in which you regarded me. “What occupied your thoughts?” he whispers with a playful grin, raising one eyebrow.
I laugh softly, feeling slightly embarrassed for being caught fantasising about him at the kitchen table.
“Caught!” “Perhaps we could request Brandon or your parents to supervise Alyssa while we dine alone,” I propose. Given the current circumstances, it has been some time since we enjoyed any solitude.
“Certainly, we can transform it into a date night rather than a family dinner if that is your preference,” he concurs.
I am uncertain about the occasion we are commemorating this evening, yet I am exhilarated at the prospect of enjoying uninterrupted solitude with Cohen. The recent events have been overwhelming, making this respite essential. I intend to dress elegantly for tonight, so I donned a charming black lace dress that accentuates my upper body. It subsequently cascades softly from my waist to mid-thigh. The dress completely conceals the small protrusion that has emerged. It is merely a small one, which could be mistaken for a food baby; nonetheless, it remains significant.
Pups develop rapidly during a six-month gestation period. The dress is not low-cut; however, with my enlarged pregnancy breasts, I am wearing this dress more confidently than ever before! I apply makeup, straighten my hair, and style it in a high, sleek, tight ponytail. I select red high heels that coordinate with my red lipstick. Upon exiting my wardrobe, I observe Cohen emerging from the bathroom.
“Impressive!” He exclaims with wide eyes and halts abruptly. “You truly took my breath away,” he exhales a shaky breath and approaches.
He is recently showered, attired in dark blue dress trousers and a white dress shirt, complemented by a brown belt and brown dress shoes. All items are impeccably tailored and fit him precisely as intended. “You appear stunning,” he remarks as his fingers locate my waist. I cannot suppress my joy at the manner in which he gazes at me.
“I appreciate your assistance, Alpha.” I concede that you appear quite handsome. We exchange a kiss while smiling. As we separate, Cohen disrupts the silence with his husky voice, which is slightly deeper than normal.
“Let us depart promptly to expedite our return.”
His tone alone causes me to tense my thighs. I nod while maintaining eye contact to convey the impact of his words on me.
—
Cohen holds the door open for me, and we enter the restaurant. “This appears appealing,” I concede, and he grins, placing his arm around my waist as we proceed together. We are positioned at a more secluded table, and immediately I enquire, “What is the surprise?””
“Let us place our order first,” he states, radiating enthusiasm. I am absorbing his energy and experiencing a sense of exhilaration, despite being unaware of the cause of our excitement. I take the menu and begin to examine it. I am eager to discover the reason for our celebration, so I select the first option that attracts me and close my menu.
“That was swift,” he laughs.
