Accept my love?

Blue, green, yellow, orange...

My brush curved and twisted through different colours as I painted in my son's nursery. Leaf green stained the newly decorated walls, leaving me with a perfect background. Damien's nursery was small and cosy, perfect for him. It being next to Zander and I's room was just a bonus.

A mahogony cot was pushed against the left wall, the darkly stained wood helping to create more of a jungle theme. A matching wooden rocking chair was situated next to the cot, wardrobes spaced behind it against the right side of the room.

Wild animals were being hand painted onto the walls by myself, providing me with a calm, reflective feeling as I trailed my free hand over my growing bump.

Just as I had finished the last details of an elephant's trunk, the door creaked open, revealing my mate.

Sweat was dripping down his bare chest, slowly trailing to the low band of his jeans. His tattooed muscles were bulging with every heavy breath he took, teasing me evilly. Messy brown curls were hanging close to his tired eyes. He looked so... masculine. So sexy.

"Are you still painting? It's getting late sweetheart," He stated, sauntering over to where I sat. "Come with me, I've missed you." He added, pouting.

"You only saw me this morning." I giggled, standing up.

"Yeah, this morning. It's the evening now. I can't stay away from the love of my life that long, even if it's for the gym." He cheesed, pulling me closer to him by my waist.

"Look who's going all romantic on me." I teased, looping my arms around his neck.

"Mmm." He hummed, as I played with his hair. "You deserve romance. You deserve to get wooed everyday for everything you do for me. For everyone."

The blush I had come to hate creeped up my neck, staining my cheeks a deep shade of red. "Mr Reid, you sure are a charmer." I whispered, melting as his glistening eyes flickered to mine.

"Only for you." He mumbled against my cheek, kissing the area after.

Smiling, I slid my arms from around his neck and down his torso. "Somebody needs a bath." I taunted, feeling his firm, sweaty body beneath my fingers.

"Care to join me?" He questioned with a smirk, leaving me no chance to answer as he picked me up and carried me to our bedroom.

"Zander!" I squealed, clutching to his shoulders as he finally placed me down in our bathroom.

"Strip, baby." He grinned, pulling down his joggers.

"No! What-Zander!" I exclaimed, watching dumbfounded as he ripped the clothes from my body in a short, powerful tug.

"Just helping out." He said innocently, keeping his eyes on my face like a true gentleman.

Narrowing my eyes, I walked past him towards the tub. A gasp escaped me as a slap landed on my butt. Zander chuckled behind me and moved so his front was pressed against my back. Slowly, his arms trailed around me, leaving a trail of fire in their tracks.

"Bathtime." He mumbled, kissing my shoulder.

Of course, there wasn't just soap and bubbles involved.

"It smells like sex." Logan said loudly, tumbling into our bedroom.

"Logan, what are you doing?" I questioned, peering at his half naked body confuesedly.

"You got a condom I can have?" He asked, ignoring my question with a smirk.

"Gross." I groaned, pulling the covers over my face.
