She wiped her nose with the back of her hand. “I nearly lost it. I was so scared and the thought of driving you away about destroyed me.”
“Hey, look at me,” I gently demanded.
Scarlett lifted her swollen eyes and looked right at me.
“Do you remember what I told you all those months ago? I’m not going anywhere. I swear to you. Now, do you want to tell me what’s going on? What was the matter yesterday?”
Scarlett chewed on her lip. “Dr. Buten’s office called for my six-week check-up reminder.”
I waited for her to keep going. “Okay. And?”
She gave me a look that said I should know what was wrong.
“Scarlett, baby, you’re going to have to give me more information than that. Why did that get you upset?”
The words from the lady on the bench came rushing back. No freaking way was she right…
“Scarlett, are you afraid to be with me again? Sexually?”
Her eyes answered before she looked down at her hands. They were wringing together like mad.
“Why?”
She shrugged. “I figured you had a countdown on your phone and when I realized it yesterday, that next week we’d get the all clear, I freaked out. I’m afraid, Trevor. A part of me doesn’t want any more kids. I overheard a mom talking the other day and she said her second child, she had six weeks early. Then this baby who was in NICU. She had him four weeks early! I can’t do this again. I don’t think I can do this again.”
I grabbed her hands and brought them to my lips. “Stop. Take a deep breath, and just relax, will you?”
She did as I said. Closing her eyes, she took in a deep breath and slowly let it out.
“First, I’ve been a bit too busy to worry about the six-week countdown. Even though I’m ready to be back inside of you, and I was kind of hoping you felt that way too, I’d totally understand if that was the furthest thing from your mind, babe.”
“I do! I look at you sometimes and I get so turned on. Especially seeing you with Aurora. You don’t know how many times I wanted to jump your bones the last few weeks.”
Laughing, I shook my head. “Okay, well, I’ve wanted to jump your bones, too.”
Scarlett smiled for the first time since I walked through the door.
“Second, Scarlett, you’re on the pill, and I can use a condom if you’re worried about another baby. I think what we need to do is talk to Dr. Buten next week and ask him about the risks of another premature labor, if and when we get pregnant again.”
Scarlett chewed on her lip, then dropped her gaze to my lips. I knew that look in her eyes.
“I’m sorry I acted like that. I think my emotions are all over the place, but that doesn’t make what I did to you yesterday right.”
“It’s okay, baby. Let me jump in the shower and then we’ll head over to the hospital.”
She reached for my hand. Kissing the back of it, she whispered, “I love you so much.”
“I love you more.”
Quickly heading to the shower, I stripped out of my running clothes and stepped into the hot water. I knew it the moment she was there. The air charged with electricity, like it always did when she walked into a room.
Glancing over my shoulder, I smiled when I saw her step into the shower, naked.
“It hasn’t been six weeks, baby.”
“It’s close enough.”
Her arms wrapped around my neck, and I gently lifted her up. Wrapping her legs around me, she started to grind against my cock.
“Scarlett, I don’t have a condom.”
“No condom. I’m on the pill.”
Our lips pressed together in a fierce kiss that was passionate, yet gentle.
“I don’t want to hurt you,” I whispered against her lips.
Drawing her head back, the corner of her mouth rose in a sexy smirk. “Then go slow.”
I gently pushed my cock into her warm, wet pussy. We both moaned as I buried myself slowly inside of her, and then I just stood there, feeling her warmth all around me.
“Trevor. Oh God, I’ve missed you.”
My lips peppered kisses along her neck as I slowly moved in and out of her, making sure I didn’t hurt her. Scarlett had started going to a mommy yoga class at the hospital with a few other of the NICU moms and had recovered beautifully from her C-section. I still didn’t want her to hurt herself, so I took it slow, even though I wanted to pull out and pound back into her, she felt so damn good.
“Trevor, please, go faster,” Scarlett begged.
“Bedroom,” I panted, turning off the water and walking us both soaking wet into our room. I gently placed Scarlett on the bed and made love to her. Reaching down, I pressed my thumb on her clit and watched as she fell apart around my cock.
