He groaned in response and pressed a small kiss on her neck. Soraya sighed with pleasure and closed her eyes. He trailed kisses from her neck down to her chest. He caressed her back as his hands continued their languid journey around her hips before he cupped her bottom. He loved how firm it was. He slipped his hand under her dress and squeezed her thighs. “Okay…we…really…” Soraya was struggling to string a sentence together. Pushing him away, she jumped up from the sofa and cleared her throat. She blinked a few times before she said anything. Amir was still sitting on the sofa looking at her with so much desire in his eyes. “We have to go,” Soraya finally managed to say. “Do we?” Amir asked as he got up from the sofa and walked toward her. “Yes,” she said and ran out of the room. Amir laughed. He was pleased he could affect her so much. Not so long ago, it had been difficult to get a simple smile out of her. He straightened his tie and slipped his suit jacket back on. Moments later, Soraya reentered the room. She had adjusted her makeup and managed to put herself back together. They had to be at Fiddah’s charity fundraiser dinner party and were already running late. By the time they arrived, everyone was already seated. They joined Sara and Tariq at their table. Amir kissed Sara on both cheeks before he took Leylah in his arms. Her face lit up when Amir picked her up. He kissed her, and she laughed in response. “You guys are so late,” Sara pointed out. “Blame him,” Soraya said. Amir raised an eyebrow at her.

Turning his attention to Amir and Soraya, “Why so late?” he asked. “Traffic,” Amir said. The waiters served the starters. Sara frowned and pushed her bowl of soup away. Tariq held her arm gently and asked her if she was okay. “Smells awful!” she complained. Tariq laughed softly and asked the waiter to remove both their bowls. “And the pregnancy journey begins once again,” Amir said as he smiled at Sara. He enjoyed teasing her over how soon she’d become pregnant after having Leylah. Seemed like she and Tariq could not take a break from each other. Sara rolled her eyes. Some parts of being pregnant were not so pretty. She was not looking forward to it at all. Then there was her supercharged sex drive. It was ridiculous how easily she was aroused when she was pregnant. That was Tariq's favorite part. He liked seeing her in that state and begging for attention. “How are you coping so far?” Soraya asked Sara. “Morning sickness is already screwing me over,” Sara complained. She sighed and reached for her glass and drank from it. Malik gave her a sympathetic look and rubbed her hand. Halfway through dinner, Fiddah made a speech thanking all the donors. They had managed to raise a lot of money for the
