“This is crazy. We’ve only just met.”

“And yet we have this connection.” He places my hand over his heart. “And it’s too big to ignore.”

My eyes run over his body. I remember what it felt like to be in his embrace. “That’s not the only thing that’s big.”

He kisses the backs of my fingers and looks me in the eyes.

“Would you think I’m crazy if I told you I love you?”

“No.” I lean forward until our lips are almost touching. His breath strokes my lips as our eyes lock onto each other. I feel like I’m standing at the edge of a cliff and about to jump off. But, for some reason, I’m not scared. I know Austin will always be there to catch me. “Because... I love you, too.”

Nadia

Nine Months Later…

Austin is sitting at his desk, his head bent over a stack of papers. He reads each one carefully and then puts it aside.

When he’s finished, he looks up and smiles at me.

“You ready?”

I bite my lip. “Do we have to?”

Austin rests his elbows on the desk and leans forward. “We’ve been sneaking around for months. It was your idea to keep our relationship a secret, and I was fine with it. I still am fine with it. Along as you are mine, that’s all I care about. You didn’t want to damage your reputation, and I respect that. But you’re pregnant now, and we’re engaged to be married. How much longer do you think we can keep this up before people start to notice?”

“I know.” I stand up and waddle around his desk. He opens his arms and I sit on his lap. He strokes my hair. “The people at the office are already suspicious. I keep telling them it’s just a little extra weight, but I don’t think they believe me. Is it so wrong to want you all to myself for a little while longer?”

“No.” He kisses me. “But we’ve already discussed it. Multiple times, in fact.”

“I know,” I say again, leaning my cheek against his face. He makes small circles on my arm with his thumb as he kisses me softly on the cheek. “It’s just... it’s going to be a total shitshow. And I should know, it’s literally my job to deal with the press. And usually, I’m really good at it.”

“You’re amazing at it,” he corrects me. “There’s nobody better in the whole known universe.”

“But it’s different when it’s about me,” I say. “About us.

“Usually I can kind of disassociate from it all. It’s my client's problems and I’m just there to clean up the mess. It’s not personal. It’s business. But this is different..”

“Because it’s personal.”

“Exactly,” I sigh. “I just want a few minutes alone, before everything changes forever.”

“Changes for the better,” he smiles, kissing me again. “This sneaking around has been a fucking nightmare. I just want to scream it from the rooftops.

“‘I love Nadia Williams, and I want to spend the rest of my life with this amazing, hot woman who is carrying my child and will be the best fucking mother ever!’”

I fist the hair on the back of his head and kiss him. Tongues and all. I love hearing him say those three magic words.

I.

Love.

You.

“It’s been kind of hot, though,” I purr. “Hasn’t it?”

He cups my breast and bites my bottom lip. “Everything we do is hot.”

I reach between his legs and grip his hard cock. “But, I guess I’m not opposed to spending a few more minutes alone,” he smiles.

“Naked?” I ask.

He tears open my shirt and kisses my already enlarged tits. “Of course,” he growls. “There is nothing I know that is better, than my beautiful, naked Nadia, beneath me with her clothes on the floor and her cunt full of cock.” My breath quickens and my tummy clenches as he runs his finger through my pussy. “My cock.”
