As he made the sweetest love ever to me that morning, I couldn’t deny my feelings for him anymore. I loved Axel Broxton. I had only ever loved him, but for some reason that was beyond my scope of comprehension, I couldn’t say the words out loud to him. He didn’t complain about it, though I knew he wanted to hear it, and his patience made me fall just a bit deeper. We came together, our lips melded together in a steamy kiss as we moaned softly into each other’s mouths.

We lay together with no words being spoken for a long while until Ax finally kissed my cheek and smiled down at me. “Let’s go talk to our baby girl.” It made my heart full to see him so excited about it.

I went and took my shower while Axel made coffee and put some biscuits in the oven. I started cooking bacon and eggs while he showered, and when he came down, we had breakfast together. “I could get used to this,” he said, smiling over at me.

“What?” I asked.

He picked up my hand and kissed my knuckles. “Having breakfast with you every morning.”

“It’s one morning, Ax. Don’t get ahead of yourself,” I cautioned.

“Okay,” he said, smirking into his coffee cup. Cocky bastard.

I stood and put my dishes in the dishwasher before writing down my address on a pad beside the refrigerator. I kissed Ax on the top of his head as I headed to the bathroom. “That's my address. I’ll go home and get Carrie up, and you can come over in about an hour.”

“Okay. Blaire?” he called as I started to leave the kitchen. I turned, and he asked, “Do you think Carrie will like me?”

I came back to him and wrapped my arms around his shoulders as he lay his head against my belly. “I know she will. We just have to take it slow and let her adjust to the idea. She’s a pretty easygoing kid, but this is a big deal.”

He had his arms wrapped around my legs, and he looked up at me with worry in his eyes. “Do you like me?”

I kissed his nose and said, “Nope. You’re ugly and you’re horrible in bed.”

He chuckled and released me. “That’s not what you said last night.” He put on a high-pitched voice, saying, “Ohhhhh, Axel. You make me come so hard. Put your big cock in me, baby!”

I smacked him playfully and said, “I didn’t say all that.”

“Yes, you did. Several times, in fact,” he said, slapping my ass as I walked off.
