Taking out her cell phone she lays it on the counter and takes my hand. “Come with me.”
She leads me into the back storeroom where she keeps all the spare parts for the appliances. It’s also the room her father takes his shipments, but I’m not sure she knows that yet. We never got around to talking about that detail.
The second the door is closed behind us, she’s back in my arms, standing on her toes. I lean down to capture her lips in a kiss and moan softly before I pull back. “I missed you so much. I love you.”
A grin spreads across her lips. “I love you, too. I missed you more.”
Her smile falls a bit.
I reach out to hold her hips. “What is it?”
Josie gulps and reaches into the pocket of her apron. “Your timing is uncanny. I just got back from getting this.”
She places something hard in my hands and I look down at it. It takes my brain a second to realize that it’s a pregnancy test. I have no idea what the lines mean and I look at her. “Are you?”
She nods and looks like she’s fighting back tears.
I don’t know if she’s happy or sad about the news. I want to hug her and jump for joy, but if she doesn’t want it. If she’s not ready to have kids… I was stupid for having sex with her without a condom. I didn’t have any but I should’ve gone out and bought some.
After a heavy moment, she looks up at me. “Are you mad? I know we didn’t talk about kids. I thought we had time to discuss more of what we both wanted.”
“Mad? No. But you seem sad and I don’t want to be excited if... if this isn’t something you want. I’ll support you no matter what. You’re stuck with me.”
Josie blinks up at me. “I’m scared shitless. I don’t know if I’m ready to be a mom. But, I’m not going to terminate it. Please don’t ask me to.”
I shake my head and run the pads of my thumbs over her cheeks. “I would never ask you to do something like that. In fact, I’m excited. Until the other day, with you, I didn’t think kids would ever be something I would have. I didn’t want them if I couldn’t have them with you.”
She lets out what sounds like a happy sob and hugs me tighter.
I kiss the top of her head. “We’re going to have a baby!” I pick her up and have her wrap her legs around me again so I can kiss her freely.
She laughs into the kiss before she breaks it. “We’re going to have a baby!”
Everything is set in stone now. I’m not going to take no as an answer from her father, and now that I know that I’m going to be a dad, I’m not going to let him kill me either. I’m not going to leave Josie alone without a partner to raise our baby.
I recapture her lips and pour all my happiness and passion into it. I feel her smile into the kiss and she giggles. It’s like music to my ears. I want to hear her happiness like this for the rest of my life.
The kiss deepens as my tongue parts her lips and I swirl it with hers until she’s moaning into my mouth. She breaks the kiss and her lips travel down to my neck. “I want you so bad. Now.”
I pull back and look at her. “Here?”
She nods.
I could think of so many better places I could make love to her after finding out we’re going to have a baby. But my cock heard the lust in her voice and it’s waking up. “Are you sure?”
She nods again and quickly adds, “Yes.” As she remembers that I like verbal confirmation.
“Good girl.”
She shivers in my arms. I know I just made her ten-thousand times wetter than she was before.
Her gaze goes to the door. “The lock on that thing has been faulty for a while. We’re going to have to make it quick, and not take too many clothes off. But I need you inside me. My body has ached for you since the last time we were together.”
I’m as hard as a rock at her words. I groan under my breath. “I never knew you had such an adventurous side to you, baby. If you don’t mind being a bit of an exhibitionist, I have so many things we could try out together.”
Her fingers curl into the hair at the back of my neck. “I’ll try anything once, and things I like we can repeat again, and again. Like you spanking, but not here. I don’t think I can stay quiet with you doing that.”
I grin. “Nor is it a quiet act. Someone would be bound to hear us at some point and come snooping.”
