König doesn't know how he got so lucky. Once he felt like he had accomplished all he wanted in the military and with KorTac, he happily retired. You were there to help transition to this new phase of life for your family. Once the papers went through, you packed your life up and moved back to König's home country, Austria, on the outskirts of town in the mountains. It was a big change, especially for the children, but a welcome one.

And he wants more. More children with you, as many as you'll give him. He's mentioned it a few times, but now he's getting more insistent. You've already said goodnight, turned off your lamp, and put your phone on the charger. König pulls you closer under the covers, his hand splayed over your stomach and his face buried in your neck.

"Liebe," he says in that smooth voice, "Give me more babies, bitte."
