Alec rolled Max to her back and knelt between her thighs as she cocked her head to the side, watching his expressions change. He smiled a big goofy smile, surprised at everything she'd just said. "You sure?" he asked, his eyes twinkling with deep passion.
Max couldn't help but mirror his elation, a wide grin splitting her face as she nodded. "Absoultely."
Drifting over her, Alec started a soft, languid kiss. Max's hands wove into and pulled him by his hair as she parted her lips to deepen the kiss. Scooping around her lower back, Alec felt the room grow hotter, their kissing becoming more breathless, until he broke away to pull off his shirt.
Max smiled at the sight of him bare-chested. "Now I'm wearing too many clothes," she countered, partially sitting up to remove her t-shirt.
Alec leaned back town, touching his skin to hers. Max felt the pressure of his erection pushing against his jeans and against her center. "Really sure?" he asked, eyes and smile both shining bright.
Max grabbed his ass with both hands and pulled him closer. "Really sure."
Excitedly, Alec backed off of her, stood, and removed his jeans and boxers, keeping his eyes on Max's body as she also divested herself of the remaining clothing. For a moment, they were silent, staring lovingly at one another.
Finally, Max gave in. "Get over here."
"Yes ma'am," he replied, crawling between her knees.
In one fluid motion, he pushed up into her. Her eyes fluttered in pleasure as they began a steady rhythm. They made love for hours, until Alec's fast metabolism demanded sustenance to continue, and despite the momentary eating break, for hours after that.
At 3AM, the pair lay in bed tangled and spent, and stared into one another's eyes.
"You really meant what you said, didn't you?"
Max's nose crinkled playfully. "About wanting to start a family? About being the mother of your children?"
His eyes lit up with the promise and hope of being a father, and Max being his children's mother, of Max being his wife, his Mate.
"One hundred percent."
Alec craned his neck to look to her abdomen. "You think there's a little Alec junior in there? Or a Max-" he paused, eyebrows quirking up. "What's 'junior' for girls?"
Max leaned forward and kissed him softly.
"No, really, what do you call a girl named after her mother?"
Max pulled at the back of his rib cage with one hand. "Come here, Alec. These babies aren't gonna make themselves!"
"Babies?" he asked. The prospect of multiple children with Max… well, it was like a dream to him.
She nodded.
Alec lowered his head and rested his forehead against hers.
