Hunkering behind her, he brushed back her hair to one side, holding her until she was finished.
“Better?” He asked quietly, feeling his heart twist into knots at the tremors racking her slender body.
“A little.” She leaned back against him and closed her eyes. “I hate those damn pills.”
“Did you take one this morning?”
“I was okay, so I decided to skip it. Besides, it’s huge.”
He kissed the side of her neck. “Want to take one now?”
“I just want to stay here for the rest of the night.”
“Or- “Shifting to his feet, he picked her up and into his arms. “I’ll make you some tea.”
Wrapping her hands around his neck, she snuggled, loving the scent of him and the solidness of his chest. “Are you gunning for the ‘Boyfriend of the Year’ award?”
He waited until he was up the stairs before responding. “Boyfriend?”
“Baby daddy?”
“Excellent lover?” Moving towards the steps he laid her down on the bed.
“Definitely.” Tugging at his collar, she pulled him down on the bed.
“I need to go and make the tea.”
“Not before I say my piece.”
“Are you just wrangling for sex.”
“That’s for later.” She placed a hand on his cheek. “Talking to Tiffany made me realize something.”
“What would that be?”
“I have something good here. You’re annoying as hell and the fact you call every few minutes- “
“I’m down to three times a day.”
She rolled her eyes and he couldn’t help but kiss her on the forehead. “What I’m trying to say is that I don’t want to take it for granted. I just want to get this out before I start bawling down the place and I’m going to blame it on hormones.”
“Of course.” He said with a nod.
“I never thought I wanted this, getting pregnant and shacking up with you was the last thing on my mind. I had my doubts, but you’re here for me. You take care of me and I’ve always told myself that I can take care of myself.
Even with your busy schedule, you make sure I eat and get all the proper nutrients. Not everyone has that kind of support. Basically, I’m saying that I’m grateful.”
His heart was so full he felt like it would going to burst through his chest. She wasn’t one to get all ‘soppy’ as she’d call it and he was hesitant to tell her what was inside his heart. “I can’t be otherwise.” He told her huskily, one hand caressing her throat.
“You’re making the sacrifice and doing most of the work. I want to do more, to take some of what you’re going through and bear it so that you don’t have to. What I’m doing now feels so inadequate that it frustrates me.” Bending, he kissed her on both cheeks and then on the lips.
“I didn’t rinse my mouth.” She reminded him.
“I don’t really care about that.” He kissed her softly on the lips.
“That’s gross, by the way.” She whispered against his lips, making him chuckle.
“I’ll always be here and I want you to know that.”
