That's indication number two.
My jaw falls open as I study Dex's face. He's being really confusing lately.
The guys are busy making themselves drinks. I sit around scrolling through the paparazzi pictures and articles from Tennessee.
My father managed to give them completely false information and be cited as an anonymous source. That figures.
The look Jude has on his face in one of the pictures takes my breath away. Holy shit. He's got his huge tanned hand over my belly and he's looking down at me with a look similar to absolute affection.
"That's a good one," Jude says, taking the seat next to mine on the couch.
"Your family is gonna flip," I tell him with a laugh.
"Nah, I texted my mom and warned her." Jude grins, taking a swig of his beer.
The veins on the back of his hand and arm stick out as he brings the bottle to his lips. That shit really does it for me. Come to think of it, it might just be every single thing about Jude Walker that does it for me.
"What did you tell your family?" I ask, trying to figure out how I hope he'll answer.
"My mom's heard a lot about you," Jude says, glancing away. "I told her she should probably believe whatever it is they write."
"Ohmigod, Jude," I hiss, shaking my head.
"What?" he asks, shrugging. "I told them they were right." He clears his throat. "They said everything would change when I met someone I really liked, and it did. They're really happy."
My jaw actually falls open at that. He doesn't play games, does he? Hell no. He's all, oh, I told my family about you. It sends a wild shiver through my entire body. I lean over into his chest and give him a kiss on the side of his mouth.
"I'm…" I shake my head against his shoulder. "I don't even know what to say except you made me really happy just now."
"Why?" Jude asks, studying my face.
I shake my head. "I don't know the right words to describe it. Just thank you."
He nods, staring into my eyes. He says, "Told you I hope you're happy because I'm in this for the long haul." His thumb brushes over my cheek and I bite my lip, nodding.
My breath catches. He's so authentic and forthright with his feelings. It's amazing not to have to wonder. Guys generally play it cool. They wait days to call or don't want to seem moreinterested in you than you are in them. That's not Jude. Not at all.
"That's so damn crazy," he says, tossing his arm over the back of the couch. He brings his other hand, the one with the large silver watch, to rest over my stomach. The baby is awake and wiggling. Jude isn't shy about making sure he feels it. His hand is warm against my skin. The easy grin he gives me sends a thrill through my entire system as his spicy citrus scent fills my nostrils.
"That bikini might be even smaller than the one last night," Jude says, rubbing my belly. "I'm having the most amazing flashbacks."
My hand flies to my face and I laugh.
"Me too," I agree. The look of desire on his face as his control snapped? Holy damn hell. I have to clench my knees together.
"Nah, you bastard. Last time you left me behind. I barely made it in time," Dex says, bouncing out of the kitchen area.
Issac chuckles behind his hand as he follows Dex out. He leans in close, whispering something to Vince. I'm pretty sure Vince actually fucking blushes. Issac is a sadist. I swear he gets satisfaction from tormenting people.
Vince is wearing bright orange board shorts and a white short-sleeve t-shirt. Issac has dark blue swim trunks and no shirt.
Issac and Dex both put a lot of time into their bodies. I'm aware they have a huge fan base of women. They need to look good to keep the fans happy. The thought puts a sour taste in my mouth, but I sure do enjoy the view. Their hard work and dedication is evident in every well-defined line of muscle.
"What's wrong?" Jude whispers, leaning in close. "You were smiling and now you look upset. Are you in pain?"
Breathing in, I get a huge whiff of his scent. I try to ignore the shiver that goes through my entire body. My nipples bead tightas his scent affects me on a biological level. I end up feeling a little high just from Walker's pheromones.
"I'm good." I smile up at Jude.
