The thick air in the room quickly dissipated as we all stared at her in surprise.
“I get a kick out of you.”
After complete silence for about ten seconds, the whole room erupted into laughter. When we finally calmed, the tension was gone, and the rest of the dinner flew by with ease.
“Can I help you clean up?” Wrenley asked as my mom began to clear the dishes.
“Absolutely not,” she insisted. “Go relax in the den.”
She puttered off to the kitchen, humming happily, and my dad chuckled. “We usually have staff for this, but she likes to cook every once in a while—especially when Jordan comes home—and she is very picky about the cleanup.”
My dad reached for a couple of glasses, but I took them from him and made a request. “Dad, would you show Wrenley where the den is? I’m going to grab some of Mom’s cookies.”
He glanced in the direction my mom had gone and then nodded. “Sure, son.” Then he shot me a “be nice” warning glance before smiling brightly at my girl and leading her out of the room.
When I reached the kitchen, my mom’s expression said she knew what was coming the second she saw me.
“I’m sorry! I couldn’t help myself,” she apologized softly with tears in her eyes. “She’s just so amazing and perfect for you. I got too excited.”
I sighed and hurried over to gather her into a big hug. “I understand because I agree with you. But you’ve got to back off before you scare her away. I’m going as fast as I feel she’ll let me without running in the opposite direction.”
“But you do want to marry her, right?” My mom’s tone was hopeful, and she gave me a watery smile.
“Of course, I do.” I winked at her. “You didn’t raise a fool. I already have the ring. I’m just waiting until she’s ready.”
My mom opened her mouth, that nosy gleam in her eyes once again, but I cut her off before she could speak.
“And I’m already working on the grandbaby, Mom. So you need to chill out. It’ll happen. Hell, she could already be pregnant.”
A gasp came from behind me, and I spun around to see Wrenley standing in the doorway, looking shell-shocked.
Son of a fucking bitch.

WRENLEY
“Pregnant?” I echoed softly, my hand moving to cover my belly. With all the unprotected sex we’d been having, I probably should have realized sooner that Jordan was trying to knock me up. But for some strange reason, it had never crossed my mind that the lack of protection had been a deliberate choice on his part and not just a heat-of-the-moment thing.
Francie pressed her fingers against her lips. “Oh my, I’ve really put my foot in it.”
“It’s okay, Mom,” Jordan assured her, bending down to brush a quick kiss against her cheek. “Judging by Wrenley’s shocked expression, this is a conversation we need to have sooner rather than later anyway.”
Francie wrung her hands together and nodded. “It certainly does seem so.”
“I hope you don’t mind if we leave early so we can have some privacy for what needs to be said,” he added.
“Of course not, sweetie.” She flashed me an apologetic smile. “I’m so sorry if I’ve meddled too much, dear.”
“Please don’t worry.” Jordan interlaced our fingers, and I held onto his hand for dear life while it felt as though the world spun around me.
Instead of stopping to say goodbye to his dad, we headed straight for the door. The drive home was a blur as Jordan’s words to his mom played over and over again in my head. When he helped me out of the car and inside, he led me straight to the bedroom.
Glancing at the big bed, I took a step back and shook my head. “I think we should have this conversation somewhere without a bed so we won’t be tempted to have sex instead of talking.”
“I hate to break it to you, baby, but no such place exists.” Jordan stroked his thumb across my cheekbone. “We could be surrounded by hundreds of people in church, and I’d still want to sink my cock into your tight little pussy. Just not anywhere that someone could see or hear you.”
“And is that why you’re trying to get me pregnant?” I asked, steeling myself for an answer I wasn’t sure I was ready to hear. “Because you like having sex with me so much? Or do you feel as though we’re actually serious enough to think about having a baby together?”
