Kirin stands behind Eryn, reading over her shoulder. "Oh, this is a good one. How about Miroslawa? That's sure to drive the boys crazy."
"Hey! Don't joke. She's not even born. No dating for her until she's at least a hundred years old."
We go back and forth, eating and laughing at all the crazy Fae names that we've never heard of. Some of them we can't even pronounce, and Dare and his brothers help us with that, scowling when I threaten to name our son and daughter something gods-awful.
"Dare, you don't like Vratislav?" Merriment dances in his eyes but he mock frowns at me. "Come on. It's a strong name."
"It's a horrible name, mo grá. If you keep this up, I'm going to take away your naming privileges." He taps the end of my nose with his finger and I bite at it.
"You can try..." I yawn, ruining any menacing effect.
"Is that a threat?" Dare stands, circling the table and helping me to rise.
"Of course it is. And you know I'll make good on it." I yawn again, covering my mouth. "As soon as I nap." I grab one of the books to take with me and wave to everyone. "Sorry, guys, I'm exhausted. I've got to take a nap before I face-plant in this pie."
"Go sleep. We'll catch up later." Axel and Kirin go back to polishing their blades and Eryn looks up from her book, with a "Get some rest" before shoving her nose back into the pages.
"I think I've been dismissed." I huff in fake affront as Dare and I walk toward our bedroom.
"Don't worry, mo grá, I'm sure when you wake up they'll be right where you left them, only this time with a longer list of abhorrent names for our children."
I lie down in our giant bed, cuddled up to Dare as close as I can be with a giant belly between us and try to get some rest. My body is tired but my mind is going a mile a minute. I sigh.
"Why are you not resting, mo grá?" Dare arches a brow.
"Because my mind won't shut up."
"We can't have that. You need to keep up your strength for both yourself and the babes."
"I'm open to suggestions on how to knock my ass out."
Dare rolls onto his side, facing me. He caresses my side, his large hand starting at my knee and ending at the bottom of my ribs. "I don't think we need to knock you out. Perhaps just tire you out a bit more." He licks his lips, his gaze focused on my mouth.
I roll onto my back and push up from lying down, sitting back on my heels, desire winding its way through me. "I like where your head is at."
Dare grips my hips, lifting me up and placing my core against his. "Come here and use me as you wish."
I grind my pussy over his hard length, shivering at the sensation. "I want you inside of me. Hard and fast, Dare."
"I don't want to hurt you, Ever." He rubs his thumb against my clit, swirling it in circles, and my breath hitches.
"I won't break, Dare." I dig my nails into the ridges of his stomach as I move back and forth on his length, my panties and his pants the only thing separating our flesh.
"Ever..."
"Don't argue with me. I'm horny and pregnant." I bat my eyelashes at him. "Pretty please, Dare?"
"You did that on purpose, mo grá."
I smile at him, pulling at his pants to get them out of my way. "I don't know what you mean."
Dare grunts in response but doesn't stop me from freeing his cock. I wrap my fingers around it, pumping him a few times. "Do you like these panties?"
"Actually—" Rip. The sound of fabric tearing greets my ears and I frown down at him. "I liked those."
"Too bad. They were in my way." Dare rubs a finger against my folds, my wetness coating his digit. "I love the way your body responds to my touch."
I grip his shaft in my hand and lift my hips, angling myself to take him. "I can't help it. You turn me on, goblin."
Dare steadies me with his hands on my hips and I sink down onto his length slowly, teasing the both of us. Inch by inch, until I've sheathed him to the hilt. "Ride me, little tine. Take your pleasure."
I bite my lip, doing exactly as he told me to, moving up and down on his cock. He meets me stroke for stroke, pushing his hips up to connect with mine in a dance designed to pull screams of pleasure from my lips. He moves one hand from my hips, his thumb notching at my swollen nub. Every movement of mine results in sparks of bliss shooting out from my core to my entire body.
"Dare."
"What, mo grá? Tell me."
"Feels so good."
Dare moves his hips faster underneath me, taking over the pace and driving up into me in a way that takes my breath away.
"I can feel your walls fluttering around me, Ever. Are you going to come all over my cock?"
I nod, unable to form words as he pushes me higher and higher toward the edge. Symbols and swirls form on my skin, lighting up the room and casting shadows against the walls. Every time we're together, they take longer and longer to disappear afterward. It's to the point that I can't leave our room for hours once we've sated ourselves. I already feel like my protruding belly is a sign pointing at me, but add in the glowing symbols and I'm a walking billboard for attention.
My pussy clenches hard on Dare's dick when he swirls his hips and I gasp, gripping his hand on my hip with mine. "Dare... do that again."
He chuckles darkly and repeats the motion.
Once, twice, three times and I fly over the edge, chanting his name. "Dare, Dare, Dare."
"You grip me so tight, mo grá. Gods." He thrusts up into me and stills, the warmth of his seed filling me sending another pulse of euphoria through me.
Dare pushes up, wrapping his arms around me so I don't fall backwards and he peppers kisses over my neck and face. I hum in contentment. I don't know how, but every time, it gets better and better. As we learn each other more thoroughly, it's like we set out to see who can give whom the most pleasure at once. It's a game that I'm all too happy to lose most times.
"I love you, Dare." I press my hands on either side of his face, kissing his mouth softly.
"And I love you, Ever. More than life itself."
I snuggle into him, happiness buzzing through my veins as my breathing regulates and my heartbeat slows from a jackhammer to a steady rhythm. "Don't let me sleep the day away, 'kay?" I yawn, my eyes closing of their own accord.
"Whatever you say, mo grá." Dare's large hand brushes up and down my spine and I drift off. My last thought before sleep envelopes me is the love I have for this goblin and the fact that I'd move heaven and earth to keep him by my side.

Shouts wake me with a start and I sit up in bed, a bit dazed at what's happening.
"And I told you she needs her rest. You can train another day!" Dare's thunderous voice practically shakes the room and I wince. Uh-oh. Someone's pissed him off.
"She told me that no matter what, I'm to wake her ass up and get her to train with me." The shrill feminine voice belongs to Kiara, daughter of the Unseelie queen and current guest of the Goblin Kingdom.
I stretch my arms above my head. "Dare, she's right, I did tell her that. Don't be mad at her."
