Hey my lovelies! Thank you SO SO SO much for your reviews last chapter and your continuous support!
You guys are my rock! You're amazing! Thank you!
Special thanks to Kelly whose words literally melted my heart.
Okay, enjoy. Extra long chapter for you guys.
After dropping Steffy at her apartment, Liam remained parked there several minutes contemplating his next move. He wanted Steffy back, and he knew of only one way to get her back: breaking it off with Hope… for good; leaving her hopeless as far as a possible future together was concerned. He needed Steffy… desperately… His body longed for her and his heart ached for her painfully. He couldn't spend another day without her by his day: each passing day without her was like a blade that cut right through him. That is the reason why, after wracking his head and after dialing her number but not letting her phone ring, once and then a second time, Liam finally took his courage into both hands and actually called Hope. He reached her voicemail immediately so he left her a message:
"Hi Hope, it's me. I need to talk to you. Meet me back at my place as soon as you get this message please. Kiss."
Then, he started up his car to head for his house, but not without doing one last thing.
'Here's SOS, need company. For a sexy model in lingerie, press three.' Steffy answered in a provocative seductive voice.
Liam's eyes widened at the introduction sentence and he burst out laughing. It was mission impossible to find somebody as crazy as her in the world. There was nobody quite like her. 'The doctors are sure that you have nothing?' he inquired.
Steffy joined Liam in his laughter over the phone.
'Please tell me you don't answer to everyone like that.' He asked in a begging tone.
She laughed once more. 'I saw your name on the screen.' She told him.
He nodded and hummed.
'So what is it?' she asked. 'I thought we agreed I needed to rest.'
'We did.' He confirmed. 'We do. I just wanted to make sure you were okay.' He explained.
She creased her eyebrows. That was weird. 'You left me three minutes ago.' She pointed out.
'True.' he said. 'But you never know what might happen in three minutes.' He declared. 'You can twist your ankle, you can fall down the stairs, you can burn yourself in the kitchen…' he rambled.
'Ok.' She stopped him. 'Thank you for all those positive thoughts but I am fine. Then again, you might want to call in three minutes to check.' She suggested.
He sighed. 'Sorry for the rambling.' He apologized. 'I'm just worried about you.' He said. 'You promise that you're okay?' he made sure.
Steffy smiled: Liam was acting weird, really weird but it was utterly cute. If he was like this now, just worried about her, she couldn't imagine how he would pamper her when he would know she's carrying his child. He would be intent on her every move, and treat her like she was made of sugar! Oh my goodness, she thought to herself. It would be a living hell. She smiled at her own thoughts.
'I am fine, Liam, I promise.' She assured him. 'And I will be even better when you come and pick me up.'
He smiled. 'I'll talk to you later.'
'I'll take to you later.' She said back.

After Liam's phone call, Steffy took one vitamin with a glass of fruit juice and got herself into a thick pajama constituted of a pullover that kept warm and sweats, both blue and matching the nail polish she wore –always fashionably that Steffy, even alone in her bed. With a bit of luck, this would be the last time she slept alone… she hoped so.
Today had been an eventful day to say the least: she got a passionate kiss and even a wild make out, a tour at the hospital, AND a love declaration as a free gift: a full day for Steffy Forrester.
To say that Steffy was surprised when Liam told her he loved her and she was the one he wanted to be with would've been the greatest of understatements. Her first thought was that it was only his recent fright of losing her talking. But the honesty she heard in his voice and the sincerity she saw in his eyes when he told her the sole reason he wanted her back was his love for her made it obvious that he really meant it. This was a very first for them, for her: it was the first time Liam showed her SHE was the one. He wanted to be with HER, he had actually chosen HER… and over Hope moreover.
Her life was finally getting back on track! She just hoped Liam wouldn't chicken out once facing Hope; she knew the latter's effect on him. Confronting her would be the hard part. The blonde had this… hold on him that was simply infuriating. It was as though they were linked or something, like they were intrinsically part of each other: they couldn't stir clear of each other for more than a few days; she called and he ran to her. He couldn't help it; he couldn't turn his back on her. She was like essential to his life and in all honesty, Steffy wasn't sure she would be able to caution such a relationship for the rest of her life. She needed a real commitment from Liam; she needed to know he was devoted to her and ONLY her –well, and to their child. She couldn't spend the rest of her life doubting him and questioning his commitment; she wouldn't.
/
After he arrived home, Liam collapsed on the couch, exhausted. The only thing he wanted was to crawl inside his bed and fall asleep with Steffy by his side, there arms tangled around each other. It had been a tiring day to say the least, and it was nowhere near over. He still had a blonde to deal with and a raven-haired to reconquer; the latter requiring the former.
He glanced at his watch; and anxiety filling him, he stood up and started pacing back and forth in his living room waiting for Hope to ring at his door and already dreading the conversation to come. Liam really didn't know if he would succeed in ending it with Hope. He knew he had to, but he didn't know if he would be capable of it.
Thinking about it, he realized he had never ended their relationship, not a single time. They broke up multiple times, on various occasions, but… it had never been on his move. Hope was always the one to end things, to walk out on him, to give up on them. He, he had never had that courage, that strength…
His doorbell put a pause to his pacing and torturing. He stopped and slowly raised his head looking forward. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath then, went at the door. He opened it for Hope.
"Hi!" She greeted with the biggest smile on her face.
"Hi." He greeted back timidly. "Come on in." He invited stepping aside.
She did. Once in the living room, she turned around to him. "So what did you want to talk about?" Hope inquired.
"We should sit down." He suggested advancing towards the couch. He settled there and the blonde imitated him, suspicious.
"You seem extremely preoccupied." She noticed. "Are you okay?" she asked him, concern evident on her face.
Indeed, Liam looked like he was carrying the world's weight on his shoulders.
"Liam, what is going on?" she insisted.
He eventually looked up at her and as his brown eyes met her blue ones, his breath caught in his throat and he sighed inwardly. He'd never manage to get the words out. How could he give up on her? She was the one he was supposed to be with. Being with her, spending his life with her, growing old together… That was the plan.
"Steffy was at the hospital this afternoon." He let out.
Hope's eyes widened. "What?!" she exclaimed. "Why? Is she okay?" she threw interrogations at him. She seemed genuinely worried. But that was no surprise to Liam. That was exactly who Hope was: always looking out for others, always thinking about other people's feelings.
He nodded. "Yeah, yeah, she's okay." He responded. "She felt a sharp pain in her stomach." He explained.
"But she's better now, right?" She made sure.
"She is." Liam confirmed.
She let out a soft sigh of relief. "Good." She nodded.
Liam continued to stare at her a few seconds. But then, he looked down trying to find his words. He closed his eyes an instant. This was so hard, way harder than he had expected.
For all he couldn't imagine his life without Steffy, he still didn't want to have to live without Hope either. She had been in his life for as long as he could remember and he didn't want it to change. He didn't want to lose her affection or respect and he knew because of what he was about to do, he very well might.
He looked up at her. "Hope, I love you." He told her.
The blonde looked back at him and creased her eyebrows. She moved closer to him on the couch. "I love you too." She reciprocated as though the declarations were obvious. She pulled him to her by her hold on his neck just under his hair and brought his lips to cover hers. She gave him a sweet kiss then, pulled back but kept her face close to Liam's. She raised her gaze so she would look into his eyes. She frowned at HIS look: there was something lonely about it, almost lost. She pulled away a bit more to study Liam's expression. He looked down. There is something wrong, she immediately thought to herself. He looks like he's wrestling with different feelings. Little did Hope know that was an understatement.
She dropped her left hand from his face and let it fall back to her knee. "Liam…" she said in a rather questioning matter, in an unsure voice.
His jaw clenched and his breath tightened in apprehension.
"Liam…" she reiterated equally.
He reluctantly looked up at her.
Hope straightened herself and brought her hair backwards with a rapid jerk. "Liam, will you please tell me what's going on?" she asked him coolly.
"I love you Hope." Liam said again. "I always have and I always will." He declared. "And I love Steffy." He contrasted. "I love you both and I highly doubt that's ever gonna change." He avowed and she looked away inhaling deeply.
Her mouth drew open as she fought to hold back the tears that were threatening to fall down her cheeks. "Are you putting an end to us?" she asked turning her face back to him but not quite facing him.
There was a moment of silence as Liam considered his answer, weighed his words. She shifted so that she would look at him from the shoulder.
"I want to make my life with her." He finally let out.
"Oh my God." She breathed looking away.
"When I learned that she was at the hospital, for a couple of seconds, I got a glimpse of what my life would be like without her and…; and I don't ever want to live that life." He told her honestly.
Hope's face became contorted and her usually so bright complexion turned pale. She couldn't retain her tears any longer and they ran down her face. She started to breath with difficulty.
"Hope." Liam called. He reached out to touch her wanting to comfort her and soothe her pain, but she backed away from him. She looked at her feet, her face scored with drizzly tears. "Hope…" His voice was faint. He examined her face sadly.
More tears streamed down her face. However, she managed to keep her sobs in her throat. She closed her eyes and shook her head as though she was trying to wake up from a bad dream. But it was no bad dream, it was no nightmare; it was the bitter and tough reality.
She grabbed her purse by her side and stood up to leave.
"Hope!" he called out before she had reached his door-step. She didn't turn around. But she stopped, waiting for Liam to say what he had to say.
"I'm… I never meant to hurt you, Hope." He stuttered. "I'm hoping that we can still be friends." He confessed.
Hope huffed. "Friends?" she repeated disbelievingly turning around to him; and she caught the hope-filled but devastated look in his brown eyes. She shook her head. "I don't think I can be your friend, Liam." She told him honestly.
And after a last lingering look, she walked out of the house.
/
Once in her car, just after shutting her portiere, Hope broke into a passion of tears. They streamed down her face uncontrollably, without her being able to do anything about it, upsetting her breathing. She brought her hands to her face upon her nose in an attempt to calm down, vainly. She sniffed.
She couldn't believe it. She couldn't believe it was really over this time. What was she going to do now? How would she overcome this excruciating ordeal? She didn't even know how to live without him anymore: he was her life. Her whole universe literally revolved around him: her personal life, her business life, her line Hope for the Future. She felt like… she had nothing left to lose. She felt as though… there was nothing left of her…
Tears kept falling and ruining her beautiful face. And she just couldn't stop them. She felt like her heart had been ripped out of chest and stomped on and… she couldn't breathe. She closed her eyes and shook her head. It couldn't be real, it wasn't real. It couldn't be. How could you get past losing the one person you love? The one person you thought would always be there by your side, no matter what happened?
How could he give up on them like that? She belonged with him, and he belonged with her.
She uttered a heart-rending sob, and started trembling like an aspen-leaf with tears. All their life together flashed before her eyes… painfully fast… as though there was nothing she could do to retain those wonderful, perfect moments with the one she always regarded as the love of her life.

Steffy was comfortably lay down on her bed, her head resting on her bed board, her computer –on which she was working on –on her knee, when she heard her doorbell ring and a knock at her door. She put down her computer on the cover, stripped off the blankets from her and got out of bed. She headed for the staircase hopping like a child. She descended them slowly then, went to the door.
Her mouth drew open. "Liam!" she said, surprise dripping from her tone of voice.
"Hey… Can I come in?" he asked.
She glanced behind her. "Sure." She answered opening the door wider and he entered her apartment.
"What's up?" she asked him.
He turned to her and took in her appearance. "Did I wake you?" he asked.
She creased her brows and as Liam pointed to her outfit with his look, she looked down at herself. "Oh, uh… no." she responded. "I was just working in my bed."
Liam nodded slowly. "Aren't you supposed to get some rest?"
Steffy narrowed her eyes. "In Steffy's book, getting some rest equals being in bed." She responded.
"And it's normal that you're talking about yourself at the third person right now?" he rhetorically asked.
"Do you have a reason for being here?" she questioned raising his eyebrows after shaking her head.
He stared at her without answering her for a moment. "Can I have some water please?" he asked her.
"Of course." She said turning to take a glass in one of the cupboards. She moved to grab the carafe full of water on the living room's table.
"I talked to Hope." She heard Liam's voice say as she was pouring him some water into a glass and she nearly dropped and the glass and the carafe. She put both down on the table not trusting her hands to be steady enough for an accident not to happen.
"You did." She stated, surprise crept in her voice.
Steffy really didn't think he would talk to her so soon. It had only been four hours, barely. She wondered if it was good news or bad news.
"I did." He re-affirmed.
Steffy brought Liam his glass of water on the couch and settled next to him. She didn't press him and decided to let him talk whenever he would be ready. She looked at Liam and studied his expression: he seemed sad and… distraught.
"I told her you're the one I want to be with." He told her.
Her mouth drew open and her eyes widened in surprise. A smile started to form on the raven-haired woman's face but she managed to wipe it off and kept her joy under control not wanting to come out as indelicate, though Liam knew her better than that.
"How did she take it?" she asked.
"How would you have taken it?" Liam asked back.
She narrowed her eyes. "I thought I had made it clear that Hope and I have very different reactions to life's events."
Liam lowered his head.
She ran a hand through her raven hair and heaved a sigh. "BUT if her love for you is nearly as strong as mine, then she must be devastated." She conceded.
"She was." He confirmed nodding.
"She probably still is." Steffy stated in a compassionate tone of voice. "But I don't think it would help if you called." She added.
He cocked his head in a sort of agreement.
She let her hands search his dark hair softly. "How about you?" She gently cupped his face and brought hers nearer. "You okay?" she asked him, concern written on her face and perceptible in her voice, while continuing to rummage his hair.
He looked up into her green eyes. "No." he admitted and she looked at him in a sorry way. "But I'll be." He promised. "We'll be better than that." He added emphasizing on the 'we'.
Steffy stared at Liam, moved, and happy tears welled up in her eyes. They brought their foreheads together and she held on to him for dear life.
/
Still in her car, though her face was dry, Hope's heart was crying. She had been in her car for more than an hour. She was out of people to call or to go to, but she was well aware she needed the support.
She could have gone home but she knew instead of just comforting her, her mother would have made comments and hypothesis about what if –and though she would have meant well, it wouldn't have helped. An alternative would have been her aunt Katie; however, the latter had enough on her plate at the moment. It was completely out of question that she went to Rick for obvious reasons: his betrayal and lack of loyalty. As for Bridget, she had a little son to take care about and moreover, they hadn't seen or talked to each other in a while so sure being her sister, she could just go and ring at her door but, it didn't seem right.
No, thinking it through, Hope could only think of one person who she knew would find the right words. And that is why she had driven up to her friend and biggest supporter Oliver's place.
She brought her hair back behind, grabbed her purse and got out of her car.

Steffy was in her bathroom getting ready for bed. After washing her face, applying some lotion on her face, brushing her teeth and combing her hair, Steffy looked at her beautiful self in the mirror and just couldn't help the half-smile half-laugh that her lips suddenly pulled into. She was home… She was finally back home. It had only been a few days but she had missed this place so much and she was sure there were no words to express how much she had missed Liam. Her world finally had sense again.
She couldn't imagine anyone on earth being as happy as she was. She hoped Liam felt the same way. She knew he loved her, certainly not as much as she loved him but then again… what could she do about that? She knew they had something special, something… out of the ordinary that only the two of them could comprehend, but he and Hope had something pretty amazing too; at least in their minds they did. Hope was the love of his life after all, if you could say so. She had taught him true love and, it was really hard for Steffy to vie with that. She may not give that impression but the raven-haired woman was far from being self-confident as far as Liam was concerned.
Oh and screw it! No more thinking about Hope. He had chosen HER. He wanted to be with HER so perhaps it was time to stop questioning his motives and start living her life. Tonight was to be solely about them: her and Liam and their baby… no one else.
She came out of the bathroom and Liam turned to look at her. He blinked in awe: Steffy was wearing a red spaghetti strap nightgown and she looked absolutely exquisite.
He delicately slid his new IPhone 5 on his nightstand not unhooking his gaze from her however. He approached her, and she slowly moved towards him as well. Once at her level, Liam put his hands over her bare shoulders and ran his fingers along her arms causing goose bumps to appear on her body; she unconsciously raised her shoulders. He lowered his face towards hers, brought his lips closer to her pink ones and Steffy felt a thrill of anticipation travel her. And just when she thought his lips would cover hers, Liam decided to tease her and brushed them against hers before directing them to her right cheek and kissing it sweetly.
Steffy let out a soft moan and closed her eyes to relish in the feeling. She held on to the nape of Liam's neck to not lose her balance. How was it possible for him to awaken her body like that with a simple, innocent touch?
"You are so beautiful." Liam told her sincerely over the shell of her ear, his voice hoarse, before he sucked right the spot where her skull met her neck, her sensitive spot as he had discovered the very first night they made love after he proposed to her, and Steffy nearly lost it. He brought his lips back to her and finally kissed her. It was an urgent, passionate, almost desperate kiss and Steffy felt like her heart would explode because of too much emotion.
He moved one hand to her back and pulled her flush against him while the other held her head. She pressed their bodies even more together, eager for more contact. Liam drowned in the taste of her as he moved them towards the bed.
He turned them around and she collapsed on the mattress.
"Oh…" she heaved a sigh. "I missed our bed." Steffy confessed bringing her hands up on the pillow beneath her head.
He got on the bed too. "It missed you too." He said moving up her, his body hovering over hers, and she laughed. He reached her and cupped her face. He gazed right into her green eyes and confessed in return. "I missed you in it."
She held his forearm and lightly lifted herself on her shoulders. She pulled him back to her and kissed him tenderly. He kissed her back and his tongue found its way inside her mouth meeting hers in a warm and sensual embrace as he slid his left hand up her right leg making her shiver.
/
Hope freed herself from Oliver's comforting embrace but remained very close to him, their shoulders in contact.
"I'm sorry, Oliver." She apologized to the dark-haired man gesturing with her hand. "You have better things to do than spending your time consoling me."
"Stop it. I wouldn't want to be with anyone else." He told her and she huffed sadly, unconvinced.
He was too sweet.
"Everyone has their problems, Hope." He pointed out.
"Maybe so but you don't need mine!" she replied, frustrated at herself, turning to look at her feet.
Oliver tilted his head and stared at Hope sadly. He shook his head imperceptibly. Didn't she see? Didn't she realize that her mere presence by his side, no matter the circumstances, was sufficient to make him feel great?
"Hope…" he tried but she didn't budge. He cupped her chin and turned her head back to him. He looked her dead in the eyes. "I would share everything with you." He confided and she merely stared back at him. He looked down at the small space between them briefly then, looked back up at her; she hadn't taken her pretty, deep blue eyes away from him. "…if you would let me." He added.
Hope closed her eyes and mentally slapped herself. How was it even possible to be so tactless? She was perfectly aware of Oliver's feelings. However, it never stopped her from running to him whenever in a crisis with Liam. She shook her head, amazed by her very own stupidity. She kept confiding in him like he was some sort of human diary or something; since they had broken up, she hadn't ceased treating him like he was her best friend! When he wanted to be so much more…
She opened her eyes, in all the senses of the expression. She pressed her lips together and stared at him gloomily. "I am so sorry, Oliver." She apologized sincerely. "I have been…" she tried to find the right word. "… SO insensitive towards you." She completed closing her eyes again before she re-opened them. "I haven't stopped… pouring my heart out to you and whining about Liam to you when I KNOW how you feel about me." She explained. "I am so sorry, Oliver." She reiterated.
"Hey! Will you stop apologizing to me?" he asked. "I love being that guy for you." He told the blonde.
She shook her, disbelieving. This is exactly why she had come to Oliver. She knew he would find the exact words to soothe her pain. And he had, exceeding her expectations. "You're always there for me." The words came out as a revelation as though she was realizing it in the instant.
"And I have every intention to always be." He declared.
She smiled softly. "I don't deserve you." She said, her voice half-broken, on the verge of tears.
He nodded. "No, you surely don't." he falsely agreed pulling her back to him.
She fell back on his chest and cuddled up against him inhaling in his amazing male scent. She wrapped her arms around his waist. He lifted his hand to her hair and caressed it in a comforting way.
Being there with him, not only did she feel appeased but she felt safe and secure, and that was more than she had come looking for in the first place.
/
"Steffy, you're alerting me." Liam told her honestly, his concern growing. "What is it?" he asked her again. "Aren't you okay?" Perhaps, her health wasn't as good as she had pretended it to be!
"No, no, I am." She reassured him shaking her head lightly.
But something was clearly troubling her. "Alright then…" he spoke in a questioning matter waiting for her to continue.
How was she supposed to announce him this? It's not like they had ever talked about having children! Sure, they had mentioned it once or twice during their relationship but it was just like that, in passing! It was some hypothetical! This baby in her belly was very much concrete…
She took a deep breath and sighed. And instead of telling him what she had to tell him like Liam expected her to, Steffy kept beating about the bush. "Promise you won't freak out." She asked him.
Freak out? Why? Why on earth would I freak out?! Okay, now she was seriously making him panic.
"I won't." he promised.
She nodded. "Okay, um…" she cleared her throat. She was trying to tell him but the information just wouldn't come out. Oh and crap, why not let the baby tell its father itself.
She took Liam's left hand and placed it over her stomach. Liam frowned, confused. What on earth is going on?
And then he felt it.
His eyes widened.
He felt a kick on his left hand.
He felt something move in her belly.
"Oh my God…" he breathed, deeply moved, utterly overwhelmed.
He moved his hand on Steffy's stomach wanting to feel that sensation. The Gods hearing him, he felt another kick. "Oh my God…" he repeated.
Steffy brought her right hand to cover his left one on her stomach. He looked up at her and as he saw the emotions in her eyes, he knew her face was the perfect reflection on his own. "We're pregnant?" he asked her in an uncertain voice though he knew the answer, just because he needed to hear her say the words.
She nodded. "We are." She confirmed and a single tear fell down her cheek. Liam caught the teardrop in his right hand. "Are you happy?" she asked him, anxiety laced in her voice.
He looked and raised his brows at her. Was he happy? She wondered.
Steffy who was nervously waiting for his answer was completely thrown off when he gave it to her: he cupped her face and crashed his lips against hers. He kissed her so hard Steffy actually breathe her last into that embrace. She responded by grabbing him by the nape of his neck and pulling him closer to her. Liam poured his heart and soul into that kiss. He had never kissed her like that. She guessed he was happy.
And before she knew it, he was laying her back on their bed, his mouth never leaving hers. The kiss grew more and more passionate and his tongue explored every inside of her mouth. He broke away and Steffy tried to keep his lips on hers before she let her head fall back at his kisses. He softly kissed her cheekbone –an interesting contrast to what their kiss had been like mere seconds –then her cheek, followed by her jaw.
"Thank you." He said, his lips moving down her throat. "Thank you." He said and kissed her jugular making her cry out at the onslaught of sensations. "Thank you." He repeated blissfully before another kiss of his set Steffy's core on fire.
She tangled her hands into his dark hair and let out a loud moan of pleasure letting him know just how much good he was doing her. She ran her right hand up and down Liam's spine making him flood with hunger. She felt his gentle hand roam over her body: starting from her right leg up to her inner thigh causing goose bumps to appear upon her delicate skin while his other hand was caressing the side of her neck. He brought her nightgown up to her hips and she raised her hands so he could remove it.
Liam steadied on his fists to gaze at Steffy almost naked underneath him, if it weren't for her lacy panties. He gazed at her as if, as if he was seeing her for the first time, as if… he was discovering a whole other part of her… and seeing his brown eyes filled with lust and love, Steffy was sure they were a pure reflection of her green ones.
Her raven hair cascaded down her shoulders and partially covered her breasts. She was so beautiful he could have stayed like that contemplating her forever. "I love you so much." He told her genuinely. And the next second, she was pulling him back to her pressing her lips to his. She kissed him hungrily up to nip at his bottom lip. If she didn't verbally reciprocate Liam's feelings, she seemed to be showing him in her own special way.
She broke away and flipped them over so she could be on top of him. She started laying wet open-mouth kisses over his bare chest and sucked each of his nipples and Liam lost himself in the yet usual feeling of her sweet lips and tongue on his skin. She went further down on him causing Liam's breathing to grow jerkier drawing his plane abs and the hollows of his fine ribs with her gentle fingers ripping a deep groan from his throat.
However, as she attempted to slide his boxers down, he seemed to disagree and rolled her back under him. She gasped and he covered her lips with his. He put an end to the passionate kiss and headed for her chest. He lavished attention on her right breath grazing its tip before licking it and then taking it inside his mouth. Steffy moaned Liam's name impudently and arched her back to the man as he inflicted the same painfully sweet torture to her other breast. "Liam…"
Hearing his name escape her lips like that, hearing the enjoyment she was feeling, Liam couldn't help the own groan that escaped him.
He reached Steffy's stomach where their child was growing and pressed soft kisses all over the sensitive skin. She brought her hand inside his hair and caressed it.
Liam got rid of his boxer shorts and gently opened her legs to settle between Steffy. He steadied himself and positioned his manhood at her entrance and stared right into her green eyes as he pushed into her for the first time. Steffy cried out and let her head and hands fall back on the bed. He started off slow and tender then gradually increased his pace. He began to thrust into her faster and deeper finally letting the passion he felt for her show through, making her tremble underneath him like a snake.
Needing, craving and loving, Steffy started to rock her hips against him meeting each and every one of his trusts with her own movements and Liam prayed for her to come undone soon before he lost it.
"Liam… I'm coming…" she warned him, her voice low and throaty.
Those words and the voice that accompanied them caused him to thrust into her one last time hitting her clit and pushing her over the edge at the contact. She screamed out his name and he immediately followed her spilling himself inside her.
Liam gently fell against her and remained within for a minute as they both recovered their breaths in sweat. He placed a feather kiss upon her left breath and removed himself out of her. He took her in his arms and brought the blankets up to cover her.
"Get some sleep, darling." He told her and listened as her breathing evened out and she drifted off to sleep.
He brought his left hand to her stomach and ran his thumb along the soft skin. He pressed a lingering kiss upon her forehead and then buried his face in her raven hair thinking of how unbelievably lucky he was.
Tonight had been beyond the reunion he was expecting. It had marked the beginning of something new, the promise of a better future for them… for all three of them.
So... did you like the chapter? Hope/Liam? Steffy/Liam? Hope/Oliver?
I am so sorry for that last scene. I cannot write smut to save my life! So sorry.
Hope you enjoyed anyway.
Can't wait for your reviews.
