I smile a little sadly. Obviously, it has nothing to do with work.
Getting up from my desk I close the door myself.
Even though Clara is on her lunch break I don't want anyone else just walking in here.
"Em. You just need to give me five minutes of your time. Just give me a chance."
She throws her hands in the air in frustration.
"Why? She huffs. "Why do you deserve five minutes of my time, Lennox? Because you bought me a car? Because you sent me some flowers? It does not make up for anything."
I stand in front of her, wanting to reach out and touch her but I hold myself back. Now is not the time. She is so angry.
"I know that Em. I know I was a complete asshole. I was scared ok. I was scared that I was not good enough. I was scared that I did not deserve you."
She shoots me a look. "You don't deserve me after pushing me away like that. You don't deserve me after what you said."
I am getting frustrated and scared, scared that I have lost her for good. "I am only human, Emma," I shout. I did not mean to shout, but this situation is getting the better of me. She shouts back, "Humans have hearts. You have no heart." She is crying.
"That is really harsh," I say, my heart heavy.
She sighs. I can see she regrets saying what she said, but I can also see she is still angry.
"Maybe now is not the right time," I say quietly. "Please Emma can I come and see you tonight?" I reach out and touch her arm. She pulls away sharply, but this time I am resigned not to let her pull away from me.
I tug her closer to me, wrap my arms around her, and press her against my body. Holding her close I can smell her. I can smell home.
She squirms against me, half-heartedly, trying to push me off her.
"Emma, just calm down."
She is crying. I can feel her body shaking so I hold her closer and kiss her head. She stops fighting against me and I feel her body relax slightly in my arms. She buries her face in my chest and her tears stop.
I wrap my hand around her chin and lift her face up to mine. Looking into her sweet caramel brown eyes I see some of her resilience has faded. She stares up at me. I cannot resist it. I lean down and kiss her.
CHAPTER17
EMMA
Lennox holds me tight against him and I feel the muscles of his chest, his broad arms wrapped around me. I want to keep fighting him but suddenly I am filled with a sense of relief. Relief being so close to him again, relief just for giving in and letting him make me feel safe. I've been so set against letting him back into my life, but now that I am wrapped in his arms, I can't imagine why I would ever have let him go.
He forces me to look up at him. His blue eyes are soft and tender and when he leans down and presses his lips into mine, I cannot even think about pulling away. The warmth and passion in his kiss drive me instantly wild. I want him.
I want him to want me.
I kiss him back, wrapping my arms around his neck, and standing on my tiptoes to kiss him harder.
Lennox lifts me off my feet and wraps my legs around his waist. He carries me to the couch in his office and sits down, with me on his lap. He kisses me again, deeper, almost desperate. I feel the same emotions running through me. Desperate for him. Desperately in love.
He tugs at the top of my nurse's uniform, and it falls to the floor. He runs his hands over my back and across my waist, finally letting his fingers settle on my belly.
"I can't believe how much you are showing already." He whispers, tenderly stroking my skin.
I look into his eyes, and I see the man I love. The Lennox I know.
His hand moves to the back of my neck, and he pulls me towards him for another kiss. I feel his cock pressing against me and I don't know if it is him or my pregnancy hormones, but I feel like my body is on fire with lust. Suddenly I am standing, pulling him to his feet. Ripping off his clothing. He seems just as crazy as I am, tugging my pants off and pulling me back into his arms, his hands running over my body. My skin tingles wherever he touches me.
"You are absolutely exquisite, Emma. Every part of you is glowing." His cock is rock hard and pressing against me. I push him back onto the couch and before I can climb onto his lap, he grabs my hips and turns me so that my back faces him; he pulls me onto his lap with my back against his chest. He runs his hands over my stomach. I lean against him, and he kisses my neck. His cock pressing against my pussy. His fingers run over my swollen belly and down. He slides his fingers inside me, and I gasp, rocking against them.
