“Two weeks. We have a doctors appointment then and they should be able to tell us.” I smile. A woman in front of us, turns looks at my stomach, and gives me a weird look. Did I know her from somewhere?
“Is Jace going?”
“Yes, he’s been coming with me to every appointment,” I remind her.
“Wow.” She is actually impressed. Truthfully, so am I. I hadn’t expected him to be such a softie when it comes to stuff like that, but he is. The first time we saw the baby together he actually held my hand and I swore he had some tears forming. Not that I asked him about it, and I’m sure he’d blame allergies or something.
“Are you talking about Jace McKenzie? The rookie?” the woman in front of us turns around to ask.
“I’m not sure that’s your business,” Chelsea says snippily. I love how protective she is of me.
“Well, if you are, you should know I heard he’s seeing someone pretty steadily. Someone who’s not pregnant,” she adds with a scoff, and her friends giggle.
“Well, I’m pretty sure I’m the only one living with him and carrying his baby,” I say sassily.
The woman’s jaw drops and then she turns around without saying another word. A moment later her and her friends stomp out of their seats and out of the game. Did they really think they had a chance with Jace? Was that the only reason they were here?
“Stupid puck bunnies.” Chelsea rolls her eyes. I have heard of girls being crazy for hockey players but I hadn’t realized how much.
“Shit, do you think Jace will be okay with people knowing about me and the baby?” I start to worry.
“I’m sure, I mean it’s not like it’s something you can hide forever anyway,” Chelsea points out. I nod and try not to overthink it.
After the game, Chelsea heads home but I hang out by the locker rooms waiting for Jace to come out. There’s a sea of girls in scantily clad clothing standing around me, but I’m just waiting for him. A few players come out and talk to the girls, mainly the ones already signed to the NHL. I don’t know their names but their faces are familiar. When Jace walks out, he looks around ignoring the puck bunnies and walks straight to me. He smiles, this whole hearted smile. Like I’m the only one in the room, and there go the damn butterflies again.
“Hey, did you enjoy the game?” He puts his arm around me to walk out and I’m only a little bit happy when I see the women from earlier. I shoot them a smirk and let Jace lead us home. Which was still a foreign word to me, but that’s what it was.
“Yes, I loved it. Although I still am confused on things. Chelsea was explaining stuff to me so I wasn’t as lost.”
“We’ll have to watch some games together before the baby is born. I can’t have a baby mama who knows nothing about hockey,” he says with a chuckle.
“You gotta stop calling me that.” I laugh.
“Baby mama? That’s what you are. I like it.” He shrugs. I ignore the part of me that wishes I could be something more than just that.
ChapterSix
Jace and I get home after the game and I’m still reeling from watching him on the ice tonight. Something about watching him do what he loves, and how relaxed he is afterwards is amazing. It doesn’t hurt that he is built like a Greek God and I am still unreasonably horny. Another night where I can’t use my toy without him hearing. Jace is putting down his stuff by the front door, pulling off his t-shirt, and grabbing us a snack from the kitchen.
“Want anything special?” he asks, looking in the fridge. Is this my opening? I am too horny to be thinking straight and looking at his abs isn’t helping.
“You?” I stand across the room so he turns, and looks at me with a tilted head.
“What?” He chuckles nervously.
“I want you.” I swallow hard. Is he looking for a way to let me down gently? A million thoughts race through my mind as I think about the two of us being together again.
“Is that…will that hurt the baby?” he whispers.
“No, it’s perfectly safe.” Something I may have asked at my last appointment while he was filling out paperwork.
“Then get your ass over here.” He saunters across the room, his abs a work of art, his arms even bigger, and his body rock hard. I almost groan at the sight of him. He is hot as hell. My baby daddy is fucking hot and he wants me just as much as I want him.
I close the distance between us and we kiss. Our mouths not able to get enough from each other, we fall against the island, our hands a tangle around each other. My hands in his shaggy hair, his hands on my breasts, a light moan escapes my lips and gives him the chance to bite down on my bottom lip. Fuck. I moan even louder and he picks me up, putting me on the island. I’m not sure if I’m turned on by the fact that he did that or by the fact that he can lift me like I am some kind of feather.
“I’ve wanted you since you put my jersey on.” He growls. “You look so fucking sexy, wearing my number.” He leans in to kiss my neck, and I moan lightly.
Jace picks me up just enough to slide my jeans off and toss them on the floor. He brushes a hand across my core and I gasp, fuck that feels too good. He picks me up again to take off my panties, they’re halfway down my legs when he does the rest with his teeth. Is this man even real? I swear if I am dreaming I don’t even care because this is not something I want to be woken up from.
