Dereck’s response to that was to hold his girlfriend closer.

Alina allowed him to comfort her. “You know, they say regular sex can make labor less difficult.”

“Oh, yeah?” Dereck raised one eyebrow, his lips pulled up slightly. “Do they?” When Alina nodded her head in response, Dereck continued. “Well, I’m all about making things more comfortable for you.” Then he placed a kiss on her lips. “How about we take this to the bedroom?”

Dereck led her to the master room and took his time shedding every piece of her clothing. Then he soaked in her appearance as he teased her with his male stripper moves. Alina laughed at her boyfriend, wishing she had some dollars on hand to make the experience even closer to the real thing.

“If you ever decide to leave medicine. I think you’ll have a job of stripping.” Alina hooked her hands around his head after he crawled over her.

Dereck ran a finger along her jawline before he kissed it. “You’re the only one I’m showing my skills to.”

This made Alina smile. “Taylor would be deeply disappointed. I think you piqued her interest today.” There was teasing in her voice.

“Taylor will just have to accept you’re the only woman in my life,” Dereck said before covering Alina’s lips with a passionate kiss. He didn’t ease her soft lips, even as he lifted himself to slide into her moist center.

Dereck was careful not to be too rough, all too aware of the dark circles around Alina’s eyes. He took his time, slowly thrusting to exude maximum pleasure and loving the moans she made until they turned into a sigh.

“I’m not an egg that is so easily broken.” There was an irritation on her face that wasn’t there before.

“I just don’t want to hurt you, that’s all,” Dereck said, caressing her hip. “I’m sorry,” he said before the intensity of his thrust increased.

Alina screamed, and Dereck held his breath until he realized it was a sound of pleasure. Then he continued until he drove his woman to new heights, pushing her off the cliff.

Dereck hated leaving Alina alone at night, but he couldn’t impose on the other doctors by requesting to work only during the daytime. That didn’t stop him from counting the hours until the end of his shift. As soon as his penance was over, he hurried home to find Alina still asleep.

He tried his best to remain quiet as he joined her in bed, but she stirred the moment he touched the bed. Alina snuggled closer. “How was work? Did you save any lives today?”

He took her fingers and linked them through his. “A few,” he said with a smile. “But it is not as gratifying as being here with you.”

Alina smiled and then closed her eyes once again.

“Did you not sleep well last night?” Dereck didn’t have to ask. It was clear on her face.

“How could I when you’re not here with me?” She draped her leg across him.

Dereck had been battling himself with something for the last few days and now he felt it needed to be said. “Maybe we should make an appointment to see the OB/GYN.”

Alina pushed herself upright then, tugging at her wild hair. “There’s no need. Pregnant women are expected to be uncomfortable and have sleepless nights in their last trimester. There’s no need to worry about it.”

“But you’re also eating less and you’re losing weight. That is no good for you and the baby.” Dereck had on his doctor’s voice, the one he used when convincing his patients they needed treatment – only his patients weren’t as stubborn as his girlfriend.

“I said I’m fine.” She stroked his jaw. “You’re just worrying too much.” When Dereck didn’t look too convinced, Alina reiterated, “Trust me, I’m alright. I have an appointment next week. I can wait till then.”

Dereck shook his head. “I really believe you should see the doctor, Alina.”

“I’m not sleeping because my stomach is so big. It’s uncomfortable. And I’m eating less because I’m nauseated all the time. The doctor warned this could be a possibility.” Alina was going to defend her decision.

“But she also urged us to call her if there were any problems.” Dereck was also accustomed to reasoning with difficult patients, but he wasn’t in love with any of them. “Fine, but we’re making that appointment if anything else happens.”

Alina smiled and nodded her head, certain there would be no need for that. “Deal.”

Five minutes after, the doorbell rang, signaling someone at the door. Dereck attended to it, leaving Alina to rest, but he didn’t expect the guest standing at his doorway with a bag in tow.

“Dina.” He jerked back on seeing his sister’s petite frame. She was wearing stilettos, giving her a couple of inches in height, yet she did not meet his height. Dina’s long curly hair was placed in a neat low ponytail, the curly ends sprawled at her back. Her makeup was pronounced as always to match her extravagant and unique jewelry

“What are you doing here, Dina?” It wasn’t like Dereck wasn’t happy to see his sister. He wanted nothing more than to reach out and embrace her in his arms. The relationship between the siblings was extremely devoted, but Dereck knew her presence would only upset Alina and he didn’t want his girlfriend any more agitated.
