Adaht brown hair as she lay sleeping Her back was nestled into his chest, her behind cradled in his groin
He allowed his hand to slide from her hair to her shoulder then down her side and over the swell of her belly Underneath his fingers, the baby htened at the fierce satisfaction that gripped him
She stirred restlessly, and he pulled his hand away, not wanting to disturb her sleep She tired easily these days with the baby being due just a few short weeks from now
With reluctance, he pressed a kiss to her head then carefully extricated himself from the bed He dressed then went in search of his brothers
He found Ethan and Ryan in the kitchen eating breakfast They looked up as Ada
“Holly still asleep?” Ethan asked
Adam nodded “She didn’t even stir when I slipped out of bed”
Concern wrinkled Ryan’s brow “She’s been awfully tired lately”

Ethan frowned “Is so?”
“No I just wondered if we shouldn’tteeks at least I don’t like the idea of her going into labor early and getting stuck on the mountain”
“I think it’s a good idea,” Ryan said “The idea of her going into labor here scares the shit out of me”
Ethan nodded his agreement “If you want I can call and book a condo”
“Do that,” Adaeone”

“Good ,” she murmured as she walked over

After a moment, she eased from his ared her tight, his hand going down to tenderly cup her belly
“Mornin’,” he entle kiss
She rested ato Ethan
“How are you feeling, doll?” Ethan asked as he slid his arms around her
“Tired,” she adhts mixed up I’m afraid”
“Kept you up, huh,” Ethan said sy to eat”
She shook her head “I’o sit on the front porch for a bit”
Adalances with his brothers as she headed to the fridge to pour herself a glass of juice She waddled back out of the kitchen, and a few seconds later, they heard the front door open then close
