Tim rushed around the car, eager to help Lily out as they pulled up to his house. Without missing a beat, he scooped her into his arms, carrying her inside with a clear destination in mind—the bedroom. His heart raced with anticipation, and the excitement in his eyes matched the grin on his face.

"I’ve been waiting all day and night to get you out of that dress," Tim said with a mischievous smirk.

Lily laughed, her voice filled with playful excitement. "Want to know a secret?"

Tim raised an eyebrow, curious. "What is it?"

"I’ve been waiting all day to get you out of that suit."

Their laughter filled the room as they moved through the house, the teasing words only fueling the heat between them. When they reached the bedroom, Tim turned Lily around, letting her back face him. He slowly brushed her hair aside, leaning in to place a warm, tender kiss on her shoulder. His fingers moved to the laces of her dress, each touch sending shivers across Lily’s skin.

Her breath quickened, the slow rhythm of his fingers against her bare skin driving her wild. The dress finally slid off, pooling at her feet. Tim’s eyes darkened with desire as he took in the sight of her in black lace lingerie. "Mmm... Naughty girl," he murmured, his voice rough with lust. "I like what I see." He spun her around, his hands tightening around her waist as he pulled her close. "Come here."

Their lips collided in a deep, passionate kiss, the kind that made everything else disappear. Tim’s hands were playful, tugging down the strap of her bra as he nibbled on her bottom lip. Lily moaned softly, feeling her knees weaken as warmth spread through her body.

Not one to be outdone, she pulled away from his lips and began to trail soft kisses down his neck. Her hands worked quickly, unbuttoning his shirt and pushing it off his shoulders. Her fingers found the zipper of his pants, a sly smile tugging at her lips as her hand slid beneath the waistband of his boxers.

"You’re not the only one who can be naughty," she whispered.

Tim growled in pleasure at her touch, his restraint slipping. "Two can play that game," he replied, pulling her hand away and sweeping her off her feet. He tossed her gently onto the bed, a grin on his face as he finished removing his pants.

Crawling between her legs, his smile widened. "Are you ready for even naughtier kisses?"

Lily raised an eyebrow, her lips curving into a teasing smile. "What did you have in mind?"

"Let me show you," he whispered, his voice husky with promise.

Tim kissed the inside of her thighs, teasing her until her soft moans filled the room. He took his time, each kiss driving her higher until her fingers tangled in his hair, and she was gasping for breath. She came in a fevered rush. 

Suddenly, Tim had positioned himself above her, entering what he could only name as his heaven. Their bodies moving in perfect rhythm until both were completely spent, sated and satisfied.

Lying in each other's arms, sweaty and exhausted, a contented smile played on Lily's lips.

"Tim?" she murmured softly.

"Yeah?" he replied, half-asleep, his arms wrapped tightly around her.

"Want to know another secret?"

Tim cracked one eye open, curious. "What is it?"

Leaning over, she whispered in his ear, "I’m pregnant."

His eyes flew open as he sat up in surprise. "What?! What did you just say?"

Lily laughed, her heart full of joy. "I said I’m pregnant."

Tim stared at her, his shock quickly giving way to elation. "Really? I’m going to be a dad?"

She nodded, pulling him into a hug. "Yes, we’re going to be parents."

Tim held her tighter, his voice thick with emotion. "I’m so happy right now! You have no idea."

Lily smiled, her eyes sparkling with love. "I’m glad you’re happy. It’s been hard keeping it a secret the past three weeks."

"You’ve known for that long and didn’t tell me?" He playfully pulled her closer, his grin teasing. "Come here, you naughty girl. Someone needs to be punished."

Lily giggled as Tim gently rolled her onto her back, this time taking his time, savoring every moment as he made love to his wife, knowing their lives were about to change in the most beautiful way.
