“I’m sure you could.” She wiggled her eyebrows. “So he’s looking for a new EA?”
“From what I’ve heard.”
“If I’m pregnant, I won’t be needing, Paige, my executive assistant, as much as I usually do. I know she’ll probably want something a little more demanding. If he’s in a pinch, I could let him borrow her.”
“That’s very sweet of you.”
“What can I say? I’m a sweet girl.”
“The sweetest.” I kissed along her neck. “I’ll see how he feels about it.” I grabbed her chin, making her look at me. “Talk to me.”
Those three words carried a mean ass punch, and I could tell she felt each one in the pit of her stomach.
Taking a deep breath that made my chest hurt, she brushed it off, babbling, “We are talking.”
I didn’t hesitate in calling her out. “Are you trying to avoid what’s really bothering you by your relentless pursuit of trying to make me jealous?”
She narrowed her eyes at me with a stern, pointed look. “How do you do that?”
“Do what?”
“You know what.”
I grinned. “Does it bother you, kitten, that I know what’s in your head and heart?”
“See… And then you say swoony stuff, and I’m just like hold me.” She smiled with kind eyes, being sinful and adorable all at the same time.
“What can I say? We’re connected.”
“Oh yeah?”
“Mmm hmm. Are you going to let me in?”
“Oh, you’ve been in.”
Changing the subject to what she was avoiding, I suggested, “Why don’t you go buy a pregnancy test while I’m on my call with Adrian, and you can take it after I get back?”
“Ummm… I guess I could do that.”
I could read her like a book.
“Relax. If you are pregnant, great. If you’re not, then we’ll just keep trying.”
“You make it sound so easy.”
“Fucking you isn’t a hardship for me, and with the number of times you come, it isn’t one for you either.”
She shook her head, smirking. “The fact that you can make that sound so romantic is truly your gift, Tristian.” She kissed my chest again. “I could get used to waking up like this, Mr. Hawkins.”
I smiled. “It’s a good thing we’re married then, Mrs. Hawkins.”
“To think we could have been doing this for years.”
“Kitten, it’s in the past. We’re together now, and that’s all that matters,” I said, stroking her cheek.
She nodded.
“What do you want to say that you’re not saying?”
