THE BILLIONAIRE'S SURROGATE BABY

Chapter 34

                     PHOENIX 

    The softness of lips on my neck roused me from my slumber this morning. As I blinked away the remnants of sleep, the soreness between my legs and the tiredness in my body reminded me of the passionate night we had shared.

   I felt Rome caressing my stomach as he planted kisses along my neck. With a smile creeping onto my lips, It was clear that we had made love last night, evidenced by the disheveled bed and the scattered clothes strewn across the floor.

"Good morning, sunshine," Rome greeted me, extending the kiss to my lips. I returned the gesture, forgetting for a moment that we hadn't brushed our teeth yet.

"Good morning," I replied, attempting to stretch despite feeling his presence behind me.

"I could barely sleep last night," he confessed, a wide smile adorning his face.

"Why?" I inquired, wrapping my arms around his neck.

"Well, you practically caused it," he teased, rolling his eyes playfully.

"Me?" I asked, feigning innocence.

"Yeah, you kept pushing your ass towards my dick. That little man was active throughout the night," he explained, causing me to burst into laughter.

"You think this is funny?" he asked, joining in my laughter.

"Yeah, it is. Besides, that little man isn't so little," I retorted, making him gasp before we both erupted into laughter again.

"Do you want some more?" he asked, moving closer to me.

"I want, but look," I said, pointing to my stomach.

"Oh yeah, I keep forgetting. When is he going to be out so we can do this the proper way?" he mused, sparking another round of laughter from me.

"I thought you said I look sexier when I'm pregnant," I whined playfully.

"You look sexier in both ways, darling," he assured me, sealing his words with a kiss.

Feeling incredibly fortunate, I couldn't help but wonder how I got so lucky. Luck had never been on my side, but with Rome by my side, it seemed I had hit the jackpot.

  After our refreshing baths, we carefully selected our outfits for the day. Rome had his usual work commitments, while I eagerly anticipated a day spent with my closest friends. To my delight, Fiona, Camilla, and Beatrix had all agreed to join me, especially meaningful as Beatrix's graduation from high school was just around the corner.

I couldn't help but feel a surge of happiness for Beatrix; she was on the brink of leaving high school behind for good.

"Take care, and if those Pest start bothering you, don't hesitate to call me. I'll drop everything and rush over," Rome said, planting a tender kiss on my lips. He wasn't entirely thrilled about my plans to hang out with my friends, but we had already made arrangements.

Little did I expect that Rome and I would end up... well, you know.

Once Rome departed, I indulged in a solo movie session, popping some corn and settling in for some much-needed relaxation. However, despite the on-screen entertainment, my mind kept drifting back to the events of the previous night with Rome. Lost in my thoughts, I absentmindedly munched on popcorn, completely oblivious to the movie's end.

My reverie was abruptly interrupted by Camilla's arrival. "Spill it," she demanded, plopping down beside me with an eager grin.

"Spill what?" I replied, still wearing a contented smile, my gaze lingering on the blank TV screen.
