“Give me everything. I want it all. Want you,” she panted out.
He came then. His climax hit him hard and flowed over him with the power of a tsunami, raging through his bones, his muscles, and every damn nerve ending. His hips seemed to develop a mind of his own as he kept pumping them forward. He came fast and furious, filling Jessica with everything he had. It must have sent her over the edge too because she wrapped her ankles tightly around his back and screamed. The noise of her orgasm almost tearing through his eardrums. She shuddered, and her pussy tightened around him, a massage of muscles and warmth.
When they were spent, he fell onto the bed beside her and gripped her to his chest. Easing himself fully out of her, Brent leaned over and kissed her temple. “I love you, babe. I always will.”
She smiled, and even now, happy tears were pinpricks at the corner of her bright, vibrant eyes. “I love you too, Brent. I love you so much. It’s all so hard. My dad, Cara – I don’t want anyone to get hurt.”
Brent rubbed at his swollen jaw. “Well, from here on out. Cara adores you, and I think it’ll be okay.”
“But I disappointed my father. I don’t know how he’ll ever even look at me again.”
“Shh,” Brent said, kissing her deeply, his tongue straying over her own, trying to prolong the kiss as far as he could. “We’ll worry about that tomorrow, Mrs. Sanderson. Tonight – tonight we have each other.”
“And our family.”
“Yes.” And then he reached out for her rounded stomach, for the miracles growing deep inside of her. “We have them, too.”
Chapter Nineteen
Jessica
She wasn’t sure if bringing Cara to SeaWorld counted as a bribe or not. Okay, it had to since she’d also bought a giant stuffed otter with her own money as a “Sorry I traveled without notice” gift which clearly was doubling as a “So, you’re going to be a big sister, are you okay with that?” gift. Either way, Jessica wasn’t sure if the giant otter with the bright lilac bow around its neck was going to be enough. Sure, Cara had mentioned she’d always wanted siblings. The girl just hadn’t said she’d be okay with Jessica being the mom. God, it would be such a betrayal for Cara – who was far from stupid and in middle school – to figure out exactly what she and Brent had been doing all along.
The last thing she or Brent had ever wanted to do was hurt Cara. After all, the little girl had been through her own kind of hell at her school. The last thing she needed was to feel stabbed in the back by her sitter-come-friend.
Jessica sat on the bench in the middle of the eatery at the park and hugged the otter to her as if it could hug her back. Offer her comfort.
Finally, Brent and Cara crested the hill.
Cara’s face lit up with a beaming smile when she saw Jessica. Running across the open tarmac and to the table, Cara laughed. “Jessica! I wish you’d told me you were going away to San Francisco for a week. It’s like forever since I saw you.”
Jessica winked at her and handed her the otter. “I think it’s been a week since we saw each other, you just confirmed it.”
“Well, it feels way longer, and I have all these stories from homeroom I wanted to tell you. Besides, I thought you had your internship!”
Jessica sighed and clutched her left hand tighter. She had her right hand over her left, making sure to hide the ring. She was thrilled that she and Brent were engaged, that their family would hopefully come together if Cara understood and accepted it. Still, some things would have to wait, and finishing college and getting into grad school were two of them. The internship was another. She couldn’t be bumbling around the zoo at eight or nine months, could she?
Assuming she got that far. She’d heard twins usually came four to five weeks early. Also, ouch. That was going to hurt more than she ever wanted to imagine.
Forcing a tight smile to her lips, Jessica looked at Cara as the girl sat down on the bench before her. She hugged the overstuffed otter to her chest yet still managed to regard Jess a bit suspiciously.
“Okay, why is everyone staring at me like the sky is falling? I don’t get it.”
Jessica sighed and waited for Brent to slip next to her and place his hand in hers. “Cara, we have a lot to talk about.”
Cara nodded. “I kind of guessed that.”
Jessica’s eyes widened. “Huh?”
“You’ve been giving Dad these googly eyes for months, and Dad hasn’t ever smiled this much that I remember. I kind of had a hunch. Then, you asked me about how I’d feel about a little brother or sister… So I’m thinking you might even be preggers.”
