“What’s that?”
I stood up from the sofa and knelt beside her, pulling the ring from my pocket and opening it up before I could change my mind. Perhaps just having cleared up our miscommunications wasn’t the ideal time for this, but I didn’t want to put it off any longer.
“Rain, will you marry me?”
I don’t know what I expected, but the expression on her face was certainly not at the top of my list. There was no smile, no sense that she was excited about the prospect of me proposing, and I felt like an ass down on one knee. It was too soon. I had sprung too much on her all at once. Damn it. The standoff lasted for far too long for it to be deemed a comfortable silence.
“I’m pregnant,” she finally blurted out.
Now it was my turn to look completely stunned. For a moment, I was speechless. She finally had to prod me free of my paralysis by softly uttering my name.
“Jon?”
“I’m sorry. That just wasn’t the answer I was expecting.”
“I’m five weeks along.”
“How long have you known?”
“Oh, about six hours now. I found out this morning at my appointment.”
“Well, that is certainly…unexpected.”
“It was pretty unexpected for me too.”
“All right. Well, is there some reason that means you can’t marry me?”
“No.”
“No, you won’t, or no, it doesn’t mean you can’t marry me?”
“Yes.”
I looked at her doubtfully, feeling confused and unsure if it was just me or if we both were just as overwhelmed by the news.
“Yes, it means you can’t marry me?” I asked, dejected.
“For the love of god, no. I mean, yes. Yes, I will marry you!”
“Whew. I was getting worried there.”
“Just one thing. Are you marrying me just because I’m pregnant and you think you have to?”
“Didn’t I just ask you to marry me before you told me you were pregnant?”
She seemed to think about this a moment and then smiled. “I suppose you did.”
“Are you marrying me just because you are pregnant? Do you think you have to?” I teased her.
A smile spread across her face as she answered. “I don’t have to do anything.”
I laughed, knowing her well enough to know this was very much true about her. “Then I think this is yours,” I replied, slipping the engagement ring onto her finger.
“This calls for a celebration. Why are you still dressed?” she purred, pulling me upward to kiss her.
We were both eager to get naked.
“I want to see you,” I told her.
“I want to see you too.”
“You first, strip for me,” I told her and she looked at me, sizing me up with that cute little way of cocking her head to the side that drove me wild.
I watched, my cock already getting hard against my jeans, and she began stripping away her clothes. She was beautiful in a way no other woman was to me, and the fact that she was now carrying my child only made her that much hotter in my mind.
“I’m naked now. What are you going to do about it?” she teased, leaning seductively across the edge of the sofa.
I didn’t respond, instead stripping off my own clothes to show her just what she had done to me. My erection sprang from my boxers, throbbing and ready for action. I moved forward, wrapping my arms around her and covering her mouth with mine. She tasted like the peppermint tea she liked to sip, the smell of her perfume spiraling up to arouse my senses. She moaned as I moved my mouth to her neck, licking and nibbling my way toward her pulse points and stopping at the edge of an earlobe to whisper in her ear. “I am going to fuck you like a wild animal, right here, right now.”
I felt goose bumps scatter across her skin as I moved back up, covering her mouth with mine again and tangling our tongues together in greeting. My hips rocked forward, pinning her against the sofa and grinding my pubic bone against her clit as my kisses grew hungrier, exploring her mouth deeper, with a certain urgency.
My lips crushed hers, full of questions and desires, somehow rough and tender at the same time. Our tongues swayed in a solemn dance of seduction. I suckled on hers and she moaned again, creating a vibration throughout my body. I loved how she affected me. It only made me more eager for what was to come.
My heart pounded in my chest as she attempted to move downward, to take me in her mouth, but I pulled her back up, instead pushing across the sofa and pouncing on her. I climbed onto her like an animal conquering his prey and devoured her, my mouth finding its way to her belly and nibbling upward to slowly circle each nipple with a pointed tongue before suckling at them as she groaned beneath me.
