Stronger

Graysons POV

There’s nothing sweeter. Nothing is as perfect. Nothing this nearly as important as what I saw waiting for me as we landed.

She stood there her belly far too big, waiting for me. The time that had passed I could never get back.

The copter landed and the blades slowed as I got out.

“Grayson,” her voice choked and she stumbled forward.

Annette,” I breathed her in.

Her skin was still ungodly soft to r

my touch. She had no marks on her to tell me my worst fears had been confirmed.

She threw away all decorum and jumped up to my l*ps capturing me. I joined her wrapping her up in my arms and keeping my salvation in my hands.

“You” came back,” she whispered, tears being wiped against my shirt.

“Always,” I reminded her grabbing her hips and without thinking picking her up.

Grayson,” she gasped so delightfully. “Grayson everyone is watching,” she reminded me her dutiful mind reminding her of our respectful positions.

“It’s too late to stop,” I returned my mouth to her. “They’ll see us at the feast tonight,”

She was the soothing balm to my crazed behavior. She was the sunshine after the fire had blazed through the night.

I kicked open our door and took her upstairs locking the bedroom from anyone who might disturb my rewards.

“Grayson you look so torn up,” she looked over my b*dy.

“I have you for that,” I grabbed one of her wrists and then her waist pulling her in for a k*ss.

She giggled in excitement as I released her. “Grayson Adams. As much as I am relishing this. You’re filthy. Get in the shower,”

For a second I wanted to get indignant. But then I decided. “Great idea,” I picked her up again and she squealed.

I started the shower and walked back over to her taking off her sweater and then her dress.

I traced my hands along her bump. I suppose it was still small but she looked so much bigger than she had before.

“How’s our babe,” I asked her, holding my hands to her stomach.

“He’s strong. He’s much bigger now he looks like a babe. I took a video and got extra photos but we can go tomorrow if

you so wish,” she rubbed her thumb on my cheek.

“I’ve missed it haven’t I? Watching this take shape,” I looked down at that growing swell on her.

“You haven’t missed a thing,” she shook her head. “He’s been waiting patiently I promise you,” she calmed me taking my face in her hands. “He’s your son after all,”

“Did they see?” I felt a pang of fear and guilt.

“No!” She saw her misstep and froze “no but I know,”

“Hmm you know do you? My all–knowing Luna?” I chuckled.

Even her voice was enchanting me, all I wanted was more of her.

I took off the dirt–ridden, bloody, torn clothes and led her back into the shower.

The grime on me turned the water black as it washed me clean.

“You shouldn’t have had to do any of that,” she pouted slightly looking me over.

That is true, but it doesn’t matter. I’m home,” I ended that conversation as quickly as I could. I didn’t want to think about what else we could have been doing these last three weeks.

She washed me clean and eventually my hands wandered. Then my mouth joined in following the path of her b*dy. I had her in my arms I was going to make the most of it.

Then again we came undone twice before she fell asleep in my arms. After an hour or so of watching her, I drifted off

I woke to her sitting on top of me snuggling into my chest.

“I’ve missed this,” I felt her tears hit me.

“You shouldn’t have to worry,” I felt the guilt wash over me and wake me up like a bitter taste.

“I know but if you blame yourself I’ll smack you,” she sniffled.

“I am the instigator,”

“That dead man is the instigator,” she shoved me.

“How’s your nausea been.” I charged topics back to my worries about her time carrying the baby.

“No new foods have been added to my list to avoid but pork is still going strong as enemy number one,” she rolled her

eyes.

“I’ll have two dozen roasted chickens prepared for dinner tonight,” I declared to her.

“Two dozen?” she perked up an eyebrow. “What will everyone else eat?”

I let out a belly–shaking laugh, “hungry is he?” I placed a hand on her ever–growing belly.

“I’ll get you whatever you want to eat. I’ll have the men carry you around on a bed, so your feet don’t get tired.” I joked.

Sounds lovely,” she godly entertained my idea.

“Hmmm,” she hummed and stretched and got off of me.

“What cruel trick is this?” I glared at her taking her warmth away from me only to dance her bare self in front of my

eyes.

“I have to go out and help people today. I have to teach the new young

ng ones their letters,” she went into our closet.

“And if I decide that you should stay in bed with me?” I laid back annoyed.

“We have duties,” she called back.

“And I’m your alpha. You must do as I say, unruly woman,” I shot back commanding her in a false voice.

saw her back straighten before she turned to me that knowing look in her eye before she stuffed back into the bed.

“And yet I’m the only one you listen to,” she k*ssed me. “Get up,”

Reluctantly I got out of bed and got dressed but I kept her by my side. She pouted once that she had things to do, but only once before settling into staying with me.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

She ran up to her baby brother once she saw him but she slowed her steps remembering all he had done.

“He saved me more than once over the past weeks. He’s still got a long way to go, but I believe your brother and I have bound common ground,” I rubbed her back.

She looked over af her brother the shiniest gleam of hope in her eyes. “Is this true?”

“Minim” he ralled his eyes and shrugged causing me to sigh deeply. Little prick.

“Got me good I know,” he coughed looking around uncomfortably.

“Be careful I told you!” She hit his chest.

“Goddess Anna,” he coughed again at her strength.

We got up to my office after a while of her fretting over her family. I do believe her maternal instincts have started to

grow.

We planned the defenses and the guard. We thought up our weaknesses to protect and where the enemy might strike next and before I knew it was time for dinner.

We walked to the pavilion for dinner hand in hand our people smiling and clapping as they saw us walk.

I sat her down at the main table and raised my glass.

“I know. I look so different,” I smiled at the many laughs.

“To have been gone so long was the greatest burden. To be back with you all, safely,” I looked down at her sheltered

under my roof.

“No greater bounty could I have hoped for,”
