“It was awful. All my friends were loving college life, and I was writhing in pain every month.”
“I’m surprised my mom never told me what you were going through.”
“She doesn’t know. Only Maddy and Birdie know about my condition.”
“So, you’ve literally been dealing with this alone.”
“Birdie and her mom have been all I need. And my mom.” She smiled weakly and took a swig of her beer.
“So, IVF…” My chest tightened; I could barely breathe. Ember could be pregnant as we speak, and not by me. Fuck if I didn’t know how to feel about it. Happy for her? Sad for me? Angry? Brokenhearted?
“Yeah, IVF…” She sucked in a breath. “What are you thinking? Could having a baby with a sperm donor be a deal breaker? I mean, if you want to give us a try.”
“If?” Was she joking right now? “Would I be here with you if I was unsure? Would I kiss you like my life depended on it if I wasn’t sure of what I want?”
“I don’t know. It’s not like we’ve been in touch for the past six years. Then you show up unannounced. How am I supposed to know anything about you?” She had a point.
“Okay. Listen carefully, Em. I want you. I will support you if you have a baby. Hell, I’ll treat it as if it’s mine.”
A large tear rolled down her cheek. “Really?”
“Really, baby.” I scooted closer to her, lifted her chin, and kissed her nose. “Let’s start over and we’ll conquer whatever life throws our way together.”
Another tear fell from her eye. “You’ll take me out on dates?”
“Yes.”
“Hold my hand in public?”
“Absolutely.”
“What about PDA?”
“Baby, just try to keep my mouth away from yours.” I went in for the kill and captured her lush lips.
“I’m trusting you, Dante.”
“I’ll protect your heart and will never give you a reason not to trust me.” I pushed my tongue into her mouth and devoured her.
Ember responded with the same enthusiasm as me, and my God, I was hard as stone. I wouldn’t push for more. Not yet. I also wouldn’t stop her if she initiated sex.
I prayed she took control and ripped my clothes off and begged me to fuck her.
Please, God.
Show me mercy.
“Dante?”
“Yeah?” The lustful tone in her voice when she said my name lit a fire in me. I gripped the back of her neck to hold her in place as I forced myself to cool the fuck down.
“When I got home the other night from The Cities, I took out my rabbit vibrator and got off after you kissed me.”
I reared my head back. “You needed to get off?”
“Yes.” Her cheeks turned pink.
“Me too, baby.” I took her hand and placed it on my boner. “Feel that. He’s angry and desperate, the same as he was the other night.”
