"No. I am fine."
"Very nice to see you." Corrine beamed at her again, before stepping back and closing the doors behind her.
She wandered over to the window and stared out at the towering buildings of the city. She was pregnant. It felt strange and scary at the same time.
"This is an unexpected pleasure." She had been so wrapped up in her thoughts that she had not heard him approaching.
But who could, with the carpet swallowing every footstep? Turning, she took the time to admire the shell sweater he had on that stretched across his wide chest. He had rolled up the sleeves to reveal the veins popping beneath the dark hairs covering his skin.
"Remi?"
"How was the conference call?"
His brows lifted as he stared at her. "We put in a bid for a derelict hotel in Hawaii. We succeeded. What brings you here?"
"I went to see Rachel."
His eyes sharpened and he went still. "And?"
Reaching out a hand, she dragged his hand to her stomach. "We are six weeks pregnant."
He did not speak for a minute, his eyes darkening. "You are sure?"
"I believe in Rachel's expertise as an OBGYN."
"You went without me."
"I wanted to be certain." She cocked her head as she stared at him. "That's not the reaction I was expecting."
"I don't know what to say.,” he whispered hoarsely. "I thought it would not happen for a while."
"And now?"
"Darling, I am overcome." His brows descended. "I have not asked about your health."
"No. You haven't," she teased him.
"Are you okay?"
"I am in tip top shape. Just a little queasy. Still waiting here."
"I am in heaven." He drew her to him and held her close, breathing in her scent. "What now?"
"I was given some essential supplements."
He tilted her chin up. "You hate taking pills."
"Rachel told me to suck it up."
He smiled at that. "Will you?"
"It's for a good cause. So yes, I will."
"The roads are slippery-"
"I am being extra careful. Are you going to start nagging me?"
"Absolutely." He kissed her slowly, stirring up her desire and making her cling to him. "We should celebrate."
