She sighed and leaned back against the seat. Through the thin fabric of the gown, I saw the outline of her small breasts and her hard nipples. I shifted my gaze and focused on her face, and she spoke.
“Just self-reflecting, is all,” she nodded. “It’s happened, hasn’t it? The seed has already been planted and the baby is right here, inside me. All I can do now is accept it and move on.
And knowing the Bratva and you, I wouldn’t have had the chance to do anything otherwise.
My heart leaped and I realized that listening to her speak so sensibly about moving forward. “It’s just… I’m still coming to terms with the fact that I’m about to be a young mom.
Wow!I really would have never seen that coming so soon.”
I nodded. What she didn’t know was that I had the same thoughts a moment ago. We both had to adjust to the new life we were being thrown into.
I was about to say something, but she wasn’t finished.
“And my mother?” her head snapped up and she looked at me with fright. “That’s going to be a major problem. How am I supposed to explain all of this to her, that I got married, and am now expecting a child with a mobster? No offense. She’s a policewoman; she stands for everything you are against…”
“Not everything…” I tried to say, but she rambled on.
“She’s going to kill me,” Grace panicked, no longer looking at me. Her lips quivered and tears quickly formed in her eyes. “Or worse, she’s going to disown me. I don’t know if I can…”
“Grace,” I called a bit too loudly, but it worked. I’d gotten her attention. “Look at me…”
“I am looking…”
“No,” I said firmly and shifted closer to her. We were so close; I could see the black flecks in her green eyes as well as the glimpse of her pink tongue through her parted lips.
“Seriously, look at me.”
Her chest heaved slowly, her breasts moving up and down in a tempting motion. It distracted me momentarily, but thankfully, she wrapped her arms around her body, and I was able to focus again.
“This news is very unexpected, and it rattled me a bit too,” I said, letting my mask of confidence slide off. “I don’t understand shit about parenting, Grace. That’s not my fucking expertise.”
She batted her long, dark lashes as she blinked rapidly. I know my outburst shocked her, but I needed her to know she wasn’t alone in this.
I took her hands in mine. “I’m not sure what kind of parents we will be, but I am sure that you will be a great mother.”
She looked from our intertwined fingers and back to my face, not saying a word.
“Everything will be fine, okay?” I rushed out the last part, not being used to expressing so much intense emotion. “I’m not going to abandon you let alone my baby, our baby. Don’t worry so much about what your mom would think. If she sees you’re well taken care of and protected, she’ll have no choice but to accept the decision you’ve made.”
Time stretched from minutes to more minutes as she stared at me long and hard.
Suddenly she snapped from her trance and stroked the seam of her lips with her pink tongue.
I felt a sharp tug on my restraint at the sight of her wet mouth.
“Thanks,” she stuttered and smiled.
I spotted goose bumps on her arms and frowned. “Are you cold?” I asked, and she nodded, blushing mildly.
“Just a little.”
Without a word, I let go of her hand, curled my fingers underneath my T-shirt, and peeled it over my head. Cool air hit my skin as I handed the shirt to her.
With her eyes fixated on my ripped upper body, she slowly took the shirt from me and pulled it over her head.
The shirt sat comfortably on her body, but I could still see her hard nipples. Her gaze bore deep into mine, and I felt the air around us cackle with intense passion.
She bit down on her lower lip and, somewhere at the back of my head, I heard the thin thread of my restraint snap. I dipped my head and pressed my lips against hers. In an instant, she groaned, melting under my touch.
