Chapter 24
Hmm, I open my eyes and stretch my body after a long revitalizing night's rest. I look to the side to see that I'm alone. Nick?
I reach for the nightstand and pick up my phone—8:20 am. What?
I get up, reach for my bathrobe that's on a hanger, and make my way over the cold floor into the hallway. On the threshold of the kitchen, I stop and take in the sight of Nick and Charlotte, laughing and talking while they're putting on their coats.
"Good morning, Mommy." Charlotte runs to me and hugs me.
"What is going on?" I ask.
"You were sleeping, and Nick told me you were tired and that he would bring me to school so you could sleep a while longer."
"Do you have—"
"She has everything,” Nick says. "We ate breakfast and prepared her school bag together."
They walk to the door. "Be right back."
Charlotte waves as they walk outside. I blink, but then I can't help but smile.
A few weeks have passed since we found out I'm pregnant, and since then we found a new rhythm that works. Charlotte is back at school, and she's doing well. She's going to a child therapist who uses creative therapy to help children who dealt with trauma. Charlotte loves it, and it has already decreased the number of nightmares.
After gliding into a pair of jeans, my hand caresses my lower abdominal area. A warm feeling of love spreads through me. Hearing Nick say the simple sentence, “We're pregnant,” and seeing his bright smile and tears of happiness, washed away my fear of being alone, and replaced it with reassurance and optimism. Now we're in a pleasant place. Nick's wounds are healing fast and well, and he's been busy with his business like nothing happened. We agreed to keep the news of the pregnancy from Charlotte for the time being. This afternoon, we have an appointment with the doctor to see how far along we are. I want and need to know everything is okay before telling anyone the news.
When I'm back in the kitchen, I blend a fruit smoothie, pour the content in a tall glass, and as I take a sip, the creaking sound of the backdoor opening makes me lift my head. Nick walks in, and when he sees me eating, a grin enlightens his face.
"Thank you for letting me sleep."
"My pleasure," he says while walking my way. When he's behind me, he wraps his arms around me and places his palms on my abdomen, followed by his lips pressing in the crook of my neck.
His fingers caress my belly. "How are you two doing? Any nausea?"
A warm glow flows through me.
"No."
One of his hands moves up while the other goes south."Hmm..."
His deep purr vibrates through my skin, sending a wave of heat straight into my pelvic area. I moan out loud when he cups one of my breasts through my clothing, and I let my head rest against his shoulder.
Yesterday, Nick had a check-up, and the doctor gave him the all-clear. As long as he's listening to his body and he takes rest when he needs it, he can go back to his normal life.
"God, I love how your body reacts to me." He pushes his crotch against my backside. "I want to fuck you so bad."
I twist my face to the side, and he grips my chin firmly and kisses me hard. Heat radiates through my pants and panties as his free hand cups my sex.
"You want me?"
My playful side awakens at his statement. "Well… I don't know if I'm hot enough."
His hand slides into my pants, right into my panties, where he makes circular motions on my clit. My fingers grab and dig into his shirt as my knees wobble at this sweet attack.
"We are going back to bed, Angel. And there we will make love until we both see stars."
"I—"
The front doorbell rings and pulls us out of the sexual haze. I straighten myself and run my hands through my hair. "Shit, really, right now?"
