I jerked back. “Umm… excuse me, what?”
“Felicia said no stress, and you need to relax for the next week. You can have them back after she clears you.”
“Are you for real?”
He didn’t reply, going about his business.
“Ledger… how am I supposed to run my businesses without any technology?”
“I spoke to your assistants, and they have it handled. In fact, they were thrilled that you’re finally taking some time off.”
I swear my eyes flew out of my head. “Oh my God! You’re completely overstepping your boundaries. You have no right—”
“I have all the right in the world when you’re carrying my baby.”
“How many times do I have to tell you that it’s our baby?”
“As many as it takes for you to realize I’m calling the shots now.”
“Over my dead body.”
“Since you’re standing there being a pain in my ass, why don’t you make yourself useful and hand me that brush?”
I did, except at the last second before handing it to him, his horse made a huge fuss over me. His nostrils flared, his tail flagged, and he neighed over and over again until I stood by his side.
“Hi, Rebel! How are you?” I rubbed my cheek on his soft fur, petting along his face. “You look so handsome.”
He nipped, putting his lips together while his head bobbed up and down. Showing me his affection.
“Yes, I missed you too.”
He neighed like he understood what I was saying. Ledger’s horse and I always had a special connection.
“I wish I could ride him.”
Ledger suddenly stood beside me. “I wish you would ride me too.”
I snickered. “You’re lucky Rebel missed me, or I’d be kicking your ass right now. You’re invading my privacy.”
He shrugged.
I needed something to focus my energy on other than wanting to murder Ledger, so I began brushing Rebel’s hair instead.
“You look good with my horse.”
I smirked. “He always liked me more than you.”
Rebel neighed, proving my point.
“You need to go back to my bed.”
“I’m bored out of my mind. I won’t make it another six days if you don’t chill on your control issues, okay?”
He reluctantly nodded. “You can have your cell phone back, but only if you promise not to use it for work for the rest of the week.”
I sighed. I couldn’t remember the last time I took a day off. I lived and breathed my company, but it would probably do me some good to take the week away.
If I didn’t think it was possible for things to get worse, I was wrong. This was way worse. I was fucked. Ledger would watch me like a hawk, and I couldn’t do anything about it. He wouldn’t loosen up because I was already pregnant with his baby.
