breathing and frowned.
Maybe it was the duvet that touched—“Alec!” I shouted, interrupting my thoughts.
Alec chuckled like a youngster as he wrapped his arms around my body and pulled me backwards until my back was moulded into his front. He rolled his pelvis into my behind and as soon as I felt the hardness of his length I knew sleeping was out of the question. I allowed him to turn me onto my back, and I could sense his smile when I turned my head and kissed the closest part of his body my mouth could reach, which turned out to be his collarbone.
“I knew it was you who touched me,” I murmured.
Alec leaned down and brushed his nose against mine. “Whenever something touches a part of your body when we're in bed, it's a ninety-nine-point-nine percent chance it's me, not Storm, looking to cop a feel.”
I lightly snickered. “I can never be sure, a few times Storm has come into the room and nudged me as he snuck up onto the bed.”
Alec scoffed. “An overweight German Shepherd shouldn't be able to sneak anywhere. I'm serious about setting up cameras to see how he's so stealthy when he's creeping around.”
Joy filled me as Alec's antics pushed away the worry and nagging fear leftover from my nightmare.
I grinned. “He is a ninja dog.”
My new codename for Storm grated on Alec's nerves.
“Ninja dog, please. More like suspicious dog. I swear he was a human in his past life.”
I laughed then and flung my hand over my mouth to keep quiet.
“Why are you being quiet?” Alec asked. “It's only us here.”
I nodded in the direction of the hallway. “Storm's asleep.”
Alec hated when I was quiet in our bedroom.
He groaned. “A man shouldn't have to worry about keeping his woman quiet in the bedroom, he should worry if she's not loud enough.”
I smiled, but remained quiet.
“Are you going to spread your legs and give yourself to me... or are you going to make me beg?”
I pretended to think on it.
“Come on, Kitten, I only have God knows how long before we have kids and sex is nothing but a fond memory in the back of my mind.”
I bit down on my lower lip as I reached out and placed my hand on Alec's bicep. I ran it all the way up to his shoulder then curved it around the back of his neck and pulled his head down to mine.
I gave him a whisper soft kiss then murmured, “Do you think you can make me scream, Playboy?”
“I fucking know I can,” Alec growled.
Then, like a snap of my fingers, he was between my legs.
I licked my lips and lifted my pelvis up so Alec could slide my underwear from my body.
“I don't understand why you even bother to wear these to bed,” Alec muttered to himself as he flung my knickers over his shoulder.
I rid myself of my tank top and tossed it somewhere in the room. I was naked, and spread wide as I waited for Alec. He reached over and flipped on the lamp on his bedside locker so he could see me. He squinted for a moment then smiled down at me with his big blue eyes when he could see me clearly.
“There's my pretty Kitten.”
I flushed.
Alec then scooted back a little and lowered his head to my pooch aka my stomach.
I groaned when he kissed the spot above my belly button. “Why is it always me belly you kiss first? The one part of me body I hate and you—”
“Show you that I love it just the way it is.”
Silence.
Damn him for being so bloody cute.
“It's fat. I'm fat.”
Alec looked up at me with pained eyes then moved up my body until he was resting on his elbows as he hovered over me. “Are we going to have this talk again ?”
Yes.
I shrugged. “I've gained a stone since we started datin', don't try and tell me I haven't gotten bigger. I know I have, me favourite pair of jeans not buttonin' up anymore is a clear sign.”
Alec leaned his face down and brushed his nose over mine. “You aren't fat, you gained some weight, but not enough to even border on being fat. You look healthy.”
I scoffed and gripped my belly
