“You are so beautiful, just like this.” He leans down and places a kiss on my bump.
Joseph is being so gentle and caring when just a few moments ago, he was pounding into me with a bruising pace.I’m turned on even more when he whispers to our baby. If I wasn’t already pregnant, I would be now.
The smoldering ember reignites deep in my belly as a dull ache settles between my legs. It might be from being stretched, or it could be because I’m insatiable, but I’m not one to look the gift horse in its mouth.
“I think we need to continue this at my apartment before I move this to your driver’s seat.”
He nips at my inner thigh before helping me off the hood of his car. “That might be a little too snug.”
I look down at my baby bump. “You might be right.”
He holds the passenger door open for me and helps me inside before getting behind the wheel.
“Where are my panties?” I ask, feeling his cum drip out of me.
“Don’t worry. They are somewhere safe.” He pats his pants pocket as he pulls out of the parking spot.
“You don’t have to steal my panties. I have an entire drawer full at home.”
He glances over at me. “And I plan on seeing you in every pair of them. I’ll buy you hundreds or thousands of pairs.”
“If you steal every pair I own, I’ll have nothing left to wear.”
“You say that like it’s a bad thing. You can always stay naked. We never have to leave the house.”
“Now that sounds like a fantastic idea. Let’s start by staying in all night and all day tomorrow.”
If my hormones stay the way they are right now, I have a feeling we will be sleeping most of the day tomorrow.
Chapter Twenty-Six
ALEXANDRA
It’s been an extremelyquiet six weeks. There has been no word from Giuseppe Rossi or any of his men. The Emerald City Reapers also seem to be under the radar at the moment.
It feels almost too good to be true, almost like we won the battle, but we still have to fight the war.
Francesca’s cousin, Angelica, has been monitoring the Rossi residence in New York, hoping to get a clue about what is going on. She hasn’t seen or heard anything since the guys attacked the Rossi estate down here.
Something big is going to happen. I can feel it in my gut. I just hope it doesn’t happen today because Joseph and I are going to find out the sex of our baby, and then we are going to attend our baby shower.
“Alexandra?” the medical assistant calls from the doorway.
Joseph and I stand and follow her to the ultrasound room.
“You can get comfortable. I’ll let the doctor know you are ready.” She leaves and closes the door behind her.
“Thank you.” I say as I climb up on the bed with Joseph’s help and lie back.
He drags one chair closer to my side. “Do you need me to get anything? Are you comfortable? Thirsty?”
I chuckle and grab his hand. “I’m fine, Joseph.”
His phone chimes with a text.
“If that’s your sister, tell her we don’t know the gender yet. Geez, I’ve never met someone so persistent.”
“My cousin Angelica is practically Francesca’s twin. She will probably come down for Franny’s wedding. You’ll get to meet her then and see for yourself.”
