“I can’t wait.”
I’m hesitant about the next question, but it’s something that has been weighing on my mind a lot. “Hey, there’s something I want to ask you, and I really want you to consider it very carefully.”
A guarded look comes over her features, and I curse under my breath. My parents are responsible for making her wary. I try not to think that my parents are capable of threatening someone, and I’ve come up with all sorts of excuses for them. None of them come close to justifying why two very educated people would do something like that. If there were a way to make it up to Ivy, I would do it in a heartbeat.
“What is it?” she says, her eyes big and vulnerable.
“It’s nothing major. Don’t look so petrified.” I try to tease her to remove the tension in her face. It doesn’t work, and with an inaudible sigh, I plunge on. “Will you move in with me? Not right now, but when the baby’s due date gets closer?”
Her eyes widen.
“Not permanently,” I add quickly. “Just until we can figure out a new place for you.”
She narrows her eyes. “Nothing major? Asking me to move in with you is major, Alec. Why would I do that?”
This is the difficult part. I’ll look like a fucking snob, and maybe I am, but my child’s safety comes first. “I’m not sure I’m comfortable with your current arrangements, Ivy. You have a roommate for starters—”
“I’m not moving in with you, Alec,” she says coldly.
I wasn’t hopeful that she would say yes, but I still feel crushing disappointment. Ivy’s neighborhood is not the safest. If she moved in with me, I’d be sure that she and our baby were safe. Then from there, I’d get a place for her. Not a big deal, and I can easily afford it.
“Okay.”
The atmosphere between us is weird for the rest of the afternoon, and I wish I hadn’t asked. We leave together, and at the parking lot, we agree that I’ll pick her up at half-past six. For the first time in the last week, we don’t kiss goodbye as Ivy turns away.
I swallow my disappointment and wait for her to drive off before getting into my car. I should have waited until after dinner with my family before broaching the topic of Ivy moving in with me.
***
I get to Ivy’s house at exactly six in the evening. I knock on the door, and while I wait, I adjust my shirt, feeling uncharacteristically uneasy. I didn’t like the fact that we parted ways when things were awkward between us.
When she opens the door, she has a wide smile, and I instantly relax.
“You look beautiful,” I tell her, taking in her blue dress perfectly flowing down her curves. She looks all woman.
“Thank you,” she says and then laughs. “I’ve tried on six dresses today. This one is the one that fits.”
On a whim, I lean forward and kiss her soft lips, taking in her womanly scent as I do so. She looks surprised, and when I draw back, she drapes her arm around my neck and pulls me for more.
I slip my hands around her waist and pull her tightly against me. I groan into her mouth as her soft curves press against my body. My cock swells instantly. There are no games in our kiss. No teasing movements. We devour each other, our tongues, our lips savage with desire.
I trace her curves greedily, going over her hips and ass. I can’t get enough of her. Ivy pulls her mouth away, her breathing coming out in soft pants.
“Everyone can see us here.” She takes my hand and pulls me into the house, shutting the door behind us.
I take her back into my arms again and seal her mouth with mine. The need to possess her is like my need for oxygen. Our tongues tangle and Ivy’s fingers rake through my hair.
I cup her breasts and marvel at how large and succulent they’ve become. She moans into my mouth and says my name over and over again.
“Oh God, Alec,” Ivy says when I flick her nipples with my thumbs over the material of her dress. “I ache for you so badly.”
My need to have her takes a backseat. Her satisfaction comes first. I plant kisses on her mouth and draw back to pull down the sleeves of her dress. It slides down to her waist, leaving her top half covered only in a bra.
“They’ve become so big,” I tell her.
“And sensitive.” Ivy’s words come out like a desperate moan.
I nuzzle the tops of her breasts, and then I pull down her cups to release them. She lets out that desperate moan again. Her nipples are big and clearly aroused. I gently flick them with my thumbs.
