“Why—why are you thinking of me?”
“I’ve been worried since you ran out of my office the other day.”
Oh.
“Are you alright?” he went on, stepping closer. His eyes traveled over my face and body.
My nerves prickled to life, wanting those eyes to be replaced by his hands.
I shook my head firmly.No, Ava, don’t go there.
“You’re not alright?” A frown deepened the lines on his face.
“No, no. I am. I’m just—”Really hot for you.
I gulped. “I’ll tell you everything.”
“Everything?” His brows lifted.
I nodded. There was no time better than the present, right? And now I knew the baby was fine.
Best to let the Liam know he’d soon be a daddy.
“Um, come on in. We can talk.” I started around him toward the door.
His warm scent raced up my nostrils. My lungs expanded, wanting more.
I forced myself forward and inserted the key. By the time he learned everything, I was certain another round of hot sex would be the last thing on our minds.
“Alright.”
My body shivered at the sound of his voice.
Yep, I needed to tell him ASAP, or I'd be throwing myself at him, begging for round two.
I pushed open the door, and Liam followed me inside.

“Ava?” I stepped away from the door. “What’s wrong?”
"I, uh." Her eyes met mine and then broke away. She swallowed. "Um, there's something I should tell you."
“I’m all ears.”
“Okay.” Her voice was small. She threaded her fingers, squeezing them. “So, remember the day I came to the clinic?”
I nodded, eager to get to the bottom of this. Whatever it was.
“Well…” She raised a hand and tucked a lock of rich brown hair behind her ear.
“Hey.” Two strides brought me to her. I looked down into somber brown eyes.
My stomach twisted. I didn’t come here to distress her. But it was all I seemed to do now.
