The next morning, Bastien woke up with Kate curled up in his arms. Their naked bodies were entwined, and a smile spread across his lips, happy about what had happened the night before. He gently stroked Kate’s cheek as she slept; he couldn’t stop smiling. Kate had become his again. He held her in his arms after believing it would never happen again, after thinking he had lost her. Kate had returned to him. He kissed her forehead, and she snuggled closer to his chest.Bastien began to get up to prepare breakfast, but Kate held him back.—No... don’t go. Stay a little longer. —A sweet smile appeared on Bastien’s lips.—I have to make you breakfast, love. You need to take your medicine.—I’d rather have you, just a little longer... like this, naked, like before. —Bastien couldn’t help but smile and embraced her again, kissing her.—We can stay naked all day if you want. I’d love that.—How charming.—Hehe, you started it. —Kate hugged him tighter and kissed his chest—. How do you feel? D

Kate brushed her teeth and put on a small babydoll-style pajama and a thin robe. Then she went to watch Bastien cooking.—Love, I told you to stay in bed. You’re not fully recovered yet.—But I wanted to watch you cook. I love watching you. —Bastien moved around the kitchen, chopping and preparing dinner. Kate watched him in awe. She walked over silently and hugged him from behind, her hands caressing his abs and tracing every line of his muscles—. I love seeing you cook.A smile appeared on Bastien’s lips. It felt so good to be like before again, when neither of them held back, when they could unleash all their desires. His mischievous, demanding woman was back—the fiery woman who drove him wild. He could kiss and touch her as much as he wanted.—What does my princess desire? Just ask, and I’ll give it to you. But after you eat, because you need to nourish yourself and take your medicine.—Alright, Master. —Kate kissed his back while playing with his abs.—Grrr… you want to be my sla

They reached the kitchen, and Ara was hugging Lucca from behind while he cooked, which made Bastien chuckle. She looked like a kitten.— Say yes.— No.— Come on…— No —Lucca repeated.— What does Ara want that you won’t give her? —Kate asked.— She wants to ride the roller coaster —Kate’s eyes widened—.— What?!— I saw on social media that a theme park just arrived, and I want to ride the roller coaster with Lucca, but he won’t go with me.— Maybe because just a month ago you had miscarriage symptoms? Just maybe?— But I’m fine now… —Lucca sighed, turned around, and hugged her.— But I won’t risk it, Aracely. I promise that once our baby is born, we’ll go wherever you want and jump off whatever ride you want. But now, while you’re pregnant... no.— Fine… —Ara lowered her gaze, and Lucca lifted her chin to kiss her—.— Be good, okay? For our baby.— Okay… —Seeing her sad, Lucca sighed—. Love, maybe we can go to the park—not ride the roller coaster—but we can buy cotton candy and walk

After Bastien showed her how much he desired her, Kate lay sleeping naked in his arms. He smiled, caressing her hair and skin, leaving kisses on her forehead. He looked around—their clothes were scattered all over the floor. He was madly in love with his wife. He grabbed his phone, adjusted Kate on his chest, and took a picture of her sleeping, her cheeks still flushed. Just then, a message arrived.Sir, the list you requested is on your desk.“Thanks,” Bastien replied, moving carefully, but Kate whined and clung to him. He smiled and cuddled with her a bit longer. He couldn’t stop touching her skin. Her body had changed, but he still desired her deeply. He couldn’t understand how she didn’t see herself the way he did—she was beautiful. Her green eyes, her soft skin, her wavy black hair... He was in love with every little part of her. He kissed her forehead again and snuggled closer. Kate stirred like a kitten in his arms, then opened her eyes and met his gaze.—Mmm, hey handsome.—He

Days had passed. Kate was happy with the preparations for her shop, the pregnancy was going perfectly, and her life with Bastien was just as wonderful. He and Lucca had been tracking the “Black Widow,” following her hideouts. Kate had designed a dress for the grand opening that flattered her growing belly. While Bastien was in his office, Lucca was with Ara bringing her some milk. The day was cold. Ara looked outside and saw it had started to rain.—Where’s Kate? Is she with Bastien?—Why?—Bastien’s in the office, and Kate was in the studio.—It’s raining.—So?—Kate is outside getting wet. I can bet on it. Call Bastien or she’ll catch a cold.—How do you know?—Every time it rained, Kate would be outside soaking. She loves the rain, and I doubt this is an exception.Lucca texted Bastien. Upon reading it, Bastien immediately ran to the backyard. He couldn’t find her at first, but when he rounded the mansion… there she was, standing outside her studio, spinning in the rain.—Shit —Bas
