I sense Emma’s smile before I see it.
“I knew you were a take charge guy on the field, but I didn’t think you would do it off the field as well.”
“I’m a lawyer. I have to do it more than once.”
“And in your private life?”
“Not normally. I like to think I’m easygoing.” I cup her jaw in my hand. “But, for some reason, when I’m around you, you’re enough for me to want to take charge of you. There’s something that I can’t quite describe, except that I’ve got to have you.”
Emma arches an eyebrow.
“You’re beginning to sound like one of those caveman types, Mark. It’s not really my thing.”
“I know…”
“But with you, I find it quite sexy.” She puts her arms around my neck. “You make me want something I’ve not wanted before, and I’m surprised that it doesn’t scare me.”
My heart lodges in my chest.
“What do I make you want?”
“Someone to say that I’m his. Not like the way Rick wants, but you know what I mean.”
I growl and kiss her. Her tongue tangles with mine, and I feel my erection growing against her belly. She mewls and rocks her hips against mine, rising up onto her tiptoes. Damn, it’s been two months, and I want to get her naked in bed again.
If she keeps this up, I’m not going to care that Forrest is outside the door and the police are on their way.
“I know exactly what you mean,” I gasp as we come up for air. “But you are aware that we still barely know each other. Not personally, you know?”
“We’ve got plenty of time to talk about that. We are having a baby, after all.” Emma reaches between us and rubs my cock. “And I like to think I know you intimately. We might have gotten things backwards, but we can make that right.”
Hot fucking hell, she’s going to make me forget everything in a second. I put my hand between us and lay it over her still-flat belly, kissing her softly.
“How about we start that right now? Start at the beginning. Then when the police have gone and I know my friend isn’t going to be hovering around with a knowing smirk, we can check how…intimately we know each other.”
“I like the sound of that,” Emma sighs as she moves her hand off me. “I just wish that you wouldn’t make me wait.”
“Trust me, it’ll be worth it.” I kiss her again. “We started way too fast, and we’re going to run out of steam. Slow it down, and be more…strategic about it.”
Emma laughs.
“I didn’t think you were a coach as well. Or is that your referee side talking?”
“The latter. But I’m good at coaching, too.” I grin and brush my lips over hers. “I’ll show you later if you can manage behaving yourself.”
“Oh, I can behave myself.”
Damn, maybe doing this with everything going on outside the door is not a good idea. But Emma does make me forget everything.
I’m not complaining, though. I’m happy with it for now.
Emma
Four Months Later
“Are you sure you’re going to be okay?” Viv asks for the fifth time since we arrived in the tunnel. “You are carrying a lot, and it’s wearing you out.”
“Oh, stop fussing, Viv!” I can’t help but laugh. “Anyone would think that you were the one pregnant with the way you’re acting.”
