le texte est de façon générale ironique, peut-être que cela n'apparaît pas spécialement dans cette phrase, mais je dois l'avoir en tête...

Variante excellente exprimant très bien l'enchaînement des pensées érotiques; mais où est l'ironie dans ce texte? Peut-être un ton légèrement moqueur?

Que pensez-vous de ça
"Cils à tomber. A tomber dans un lit"
pour montrer l'enchaînement de pensées érotiques et rester ironique ?

Normally... 'serious' used like this would mean 'impressionant' — 'that's a serious dagger you have there!" = it's a really frighteningly big/sharp/shiny weapon.

I think the idea is still the same here, though it appears that the guy is in some way making eyes at her, in a flirtatious way; however, in view of her condition, that seems somewhat unlikely (unless this is going to turn into a pornographic novel!) So maybe the pregnant lady is rather implying that she finds the man sexually attractive — 'bedroom eyes' means the sort of eyes that seem to invite you to 'come to bed with me'. Here, it all rather depends on whether this is from the viewpoint of the lady herself, or from the outside viewpoint of the writer.
