Releasing her, I slap her ass and step away, giving her a pointed look. “Five minutes.” And without another word, I turn and head up the stairs, knowing full well she will follow.
EPILOGUE
Quinn
Two years later…
Strolling across the construction site, I greet everyone I pass with a big smile. Electricians. Bricklayers. Plumbers. Builders. Good, stable, hardworking men just like Davis. They smile and wave back, shouting greetings of “Hi, Mrs. Pritchard” as I pass them.
I grin. It didn’t take long for the men Davis works with to find out about our relationship. In fact, I think most of them saw it coming before we did. Guess we weren’t too good at hiding our feelings.
Spotting Kevin, one of Davis’s foremen, I head for him.
“Hey Quinn,” he greets, with a nod of his head.
“Hey Kev. Do you know where he is? I brought him lunch.” I lift the lunchbox as if to prove my point.
He chuckles, jerking his head to one of the nearly completed houses. “He is in there, finalizing a couple of details.”
Thanking him, I stride in the direction of where I now know my man is. Climbing the steps of the small porch, I step into the open door, smiling when I spot Davis in his hard hat, jeans, white tee and steel cap black boots. His brows are furrowed in concentration as his fingers move over the tiled wall above the stove.
My heart flutters in my chest. He is so handsome and all mine. “Hey handsome,” I call, and his head snaps up, eyes locking on mine.
Straightening, his gaze rakes over my body. As if he can’t wait another second, he closes the distance between us, and takes me in his strong arms. Pulling back, he presses his lips to mine in a quick kiss. “Hey baby. What’re you doing here?” Stepping out of his hold, I show him the lunchbox. He chuckles. “You know I forget it on purpose, right?”
I sigh, shaking my head with a grin. “I know. And I love that you do. It means I get to see you.”
Taking his lunch from me he grabs my hand with his free one and pulls me to where a loan plastic chair sits. Dropping down, he pats his lap, silently asking me to sit.
I chuckle, shaking my head, glancing down at my very round, pregnant belly. “I will squash you, Davis.”
He cups my bump, caressing it gently with a soft look of awe and love in his eyes. “Baby, I am pure muscle. You won’t crush me. Promise.”
Sighing, I gently drop down into his lap. “It looks good in here.” Pride fills me as I look around the home he built and the happy memories it is going to bring a family one day.
“It does,” he agrees. “I can’t believe the projects nearly finished,” he says distractedly as his hands stroke my belly and he peppers kisses along my neck.
I melt into him only to freeze when I feel liquid trickling down my legs. Twisting my head, our eyes lock, as my heart pounds in my chest. Davis swallows, his gaze moving to the fluid leaking down my legs and onto his jeans.
“Quinn?” he whispers, his voice filled with alarm.
I suck in a breath. “I think my water just broke.”
