Julian's own smirk answered her. "It seems Grandma is already carrying the proof of my… service." His tone dripped with cocky amusement. "A symbol the entire village might envy."
Her fingers moved in circles over her stomach. "Envy? "Oh, they sure will, Julian," she murmured, patting the space beside her. "Come closer. I want you to feel the life you've planted."
Julian stepped towards her, his presence towering over the bed. His hands slid to her belly, feeling the soft pulse beneath them. It was true; there really was life blooming inside her.
"You've only just begun, boy," she whispered. "The night will repeat; there will be many. And you will give them all what you gave me."
Julian's grin deepened. "Then I hope the village is ready," he said, his hand lingering over her, "because I don't plan to hold back."
"But remember…" Rael's grandmother cut him off, leaning closer, "No matter how much you enjoy yourself tonight, no matter how deep you lose yourself in the pleasure…"
