She reached out and grabbed his hand. “No. I want my mother with me.”
Oh, this woman did indeed have a stubborn side.
Reaching out, he pulled her face to his and ran his fingers through her hair. “I’m trying to keep you and the baby safe. I don’t want anything bad to happen to you. I want our child to be born safe, here in Missoula.”
His mouth covered hers because he could see she was going to argue with him and he would do everything he could to keep her here.
His hands reached beneath her shirt and he ran his fingers down her belly. Just then the baby kicked.
“Oh,” he said breaking the kiss.
She took his hand and laid it on the spot where he’d felt the kick.
“She’s been playing soccer this morning, kicking me in the ribs. Grabbing me and tapping my stomach as if to say, let me out of here.”
Holding his hand, she ran it over her stomach and the baby kicked again. It was such a wonderful feeling. This was his daughter. And he couldn’t wait to meet her.
Sliding down the loveseat, he lifted her sweater and stared at her swollen belly. Running his hands down her flesh, he felt her shudder.
“Hi, sweet girl,” he said, hovering his lips above her belly. “I can’t wait to meet you. We’re going to love you so very much. There are so many people who are going to be excited to see you. And your momma, she’s going to be a great mother. I’m going to be your father. No boys until you’re out of high school.”
Amelia leaned her head back and laughed. “No boys until she’s out of high school? Like that will ever happen.”
Pulling him up, she leaned into him and covered his lips with hers. It was a kiss of promise and he hoped it meant she was ready to accept that he wanted to be in her life forever as her husband, as this child’s father, and any other children they might have.
When they broke apart, he could see the desire in her eyes.
“You’re so beautiful, Amelia. I hope our daughter has your eyes, your nose, and your tempting lips.”
Unable to resist, he leaned down and kissed her stomach and then he went lower and lower. Her breathing became shallow as he slipped his fingers into her pants.
“Ryan, don’t tease me,” she said her voice harsh. “It’s been nine long months.”
The website had said it was all right for them to have sex. But he was not going to push her. He’d let her decide.
His lips continued their path down her stomach until he reached the waistband of her sweats and he pulled them down past her hips and womanly center to her legs.
It was all he could do to keep from ripping them from her body.
“Tell me to stop if this is not what you want,” he told her. “You’re beautiful and I want to make you happy.”
A sigh escaped from her and she spread her legs as far as she could.
He reached up and yanked her pants down to her ankles. She was just as gorgeous as he remembered.
“Yes,” she cried. “Please, it’s been so long.”
CHAPTER12
Since he didn’t want her to go into labor, she was surprised he was willing to go down on her. Hell, she wanted to have sex with him and would do her best to convince him once he made her come.
But right now, just the thought of him down between her legs felt divine and clunky. The baby blocked her ability to watch him, but she didn’t care. All she wanted was to feel.
For months, she’d lived on the memories of the two of them on the cruise ship, and now she was going to experience being with Ryan once again. But would this second time live up to her memories?
What if that night had just been a fantasy they’d lived out? What if it was never what she’d dreamed of?
Would he be turned off by how big and pregnant she was? And yet he kept telling her she was beautiful. He’d all but worshipped her belly. The man was on his knees between her legs. Oh, how she wanted so much more with him. She needed to know if they had shared a forever kind of love or just one night of wonderful sex.
