Dominic followed Alexis back into the house, and into their room, where he immediately decided that the best option was to sidetrack her from her anger about being told that her body needed bed rest.
"You think that being naked for this conversation is going to help your case?"
"I think that it's going to help me convince you to get into the bed."
Alexis smiled, despite her annoyance.
"I'm not an invalid. I'm just pregnant. There is no reason for them to all be treating me like I'm made of glass."
"You're a Princess, pregnant with the heir to the Duchy, and everyone is feeling super protective of you. Could you go about almost all of your daily activities? Sure. But would it risk causing complications with the baby?
Apparently the midwife thinks so, and she wants you to start taking things easy, with the little one growing so fast."
Dominic leaned forward to plant a row of kisses up her neck, and Alexis hummed happily before stepping away.
