“Never mind,” he grumbled. Amelia giggled and wiggled her ass in his big hand. “You’re a tease,” he said.
“You have no idea,” she breathed. He rolled her under his big body and pressed her body into the mattress. His weight felt right on top of her. She felt so safe with him but telling him that would start the whole argument about her seeing him as her savior, and that was the last thing she wanted to do. In fact, she didn’t want to do any talking whatsoever.
“You know, in the tub, you took me by surprise and things moved quickly,” Spider said.
“Oh?” she questioned.
“But now, I get to take my time with you,” he said.
“Well, then, it’s a good thing that I’m not tired,” she teased. “Take as much time as you’d like, Spider,” she said, wrapping her arms around his shoulders. He dipped his head to kiss her, and she wrapped her legs around his waist.
He looked down at her, pushing her long hair back from her face, making her feel the same butterflies that she always felt when he looked at her that way. “I’m so afraid that I’m going to hurt you,” he whispered.
“Then, don’t hurt me,” she breathed.
“I never planned on having feelings for you, but I do,” he admitted. That was the first time Spider had let his walls down and admitted that to her. She liked this side of him. Spider was vulnerable and she realized that she could hurt him just as much as he could hurt her.
“How about we just take this thing one day at a time?” she asked. “I have feelings for you too, Spider. I have for months now. I have the same power to hurt you as you have to hurt me, but I won’t let that happen. That’s what people in love do—they protect each other. You’ve protected me this whole time, how about you let me protect you for a while?”
“That’s not your job,” he said.
“I want it to be my job,” she insisted.
“Wait—did you say that you love me?” he asked. Amelia thought back over her words and when she got to the part about what people in love do, she smiled at him and nodded.
“I guess I did,” she said. “Is that okay?”
He didn’t take much time to think about it. “Yeah, I think it is,” he breathed. “Because, if I’m not mistaken, I love you back.”
“Well, I hope that you’re not mistaken then because I like the idea of you loving me, Spider,” she whispered. He leaned in to kiss her, pressing her against the mattress with his full weight and all she could think about was how much she wanted him to take his time with her.
“So, all night?” she asked when he broke the kiss.
“All night,” he agreed, kissing his way down her body. “Sleep is overrated anyway.” Amelia had a feeling that she’d never want to sleep again with the promises that Spider was making her with every little kiss and bite mark that he left on her body. She was finally getting what she wanted from him and having her way with Spider was turning out to be more fun than she had ever imagined.
Spider
They had moved twice in the past two months, and every time they moved, Amelia ended up in his bed. He almost felt as though he was holding his breath, waiting for her to change her mind about him and move back into her own room, but it never happened. And every night that they spent together, Spider fell more and more in love with her.
Amelia walked out of the bathroom looking a little pale. “You okay?” he asked. She hadn’t been acting herself since their quick trip into town to pick up some groceries.
“Um, no,” she said.
“Has something happened?” he asked. “Did you see someone in town that you knew or something?” he asked. They were in Tennessee, and he worried that moving so close to home might not be the best idea, but he had been called into work and there was no way that he was leaving Amelia too far out of reach when he had to go into the office.
“No,” she said, “I didn’t see anyone, but something has happened,” she admitted. Amelia held up a white stick and he looked it over. Once it hit him that she was holding up a pregnancy test with a plus sign on it, he wasn’t sure what to do.
“You’re pregnant?” he asked.
“We’re pregnant,” she corrected, “because I didn’t do this to myself. I missed two periods and well, I didn’t pay much attention to them because we were moving houses and all that stuff. I guess it just didn’t register that I could be pregnant until today when we passed the aisle of feminine products at the grocery store. I panicked and picked up a few tests and took them as soon as we got back here.”
“Why didn’t you tell me?” he asked.
She shrugged, “I didn’t want to worry you until there was something to worry about,” she said.
“I could have been there worrying by your side,” he said. “Are you okay?” She nodded, but her tears gave away that she was lying. “Oh, honey,” he breathed, “don’t cry.”
“I didn’t plan on this happening,” she said. “I just never thought about not taking my pill or anything like that. I’m such an idiot,” she sobbed.
