My mouth gaped open.
“Are you serious?” The words barely came out of my mouth. I was in disbelief. The entire day had gone in a way I hadn’t even thought possible.
“Serious as a heart attack.”
“You wouldn’t look to take the baby?” It was embarrassing to ask and I wasn’t even sure if I was considering the idea, but the question needed to be asked.
“You’re wanting to know, if I’d take the baby and never let you see the baby?” I nodded shamefully in response. “No. That’s not even a thought that would cross my mind.Ever!”
He sounded annoyed.
“Sorry, I wasn’t trying to--” I blurted.
“Don’t apologize,” he shook his head. “We’d have a legal contract drawn up. It would protect you, the baby, and me.”
“This reminds me of something out of a book or a movie.” I leaned my head against his chest and giggled. His warm skin felt nice against my own. It was just the touch I needed to ease the nerves that had filled me.
“This is far from a book or a movie, I assure you,” he chuckled and kissed the top of my head.
“Can I ask you something?” I pulled back just enough to where I could look up at him.
“Of course.”
“What would you get out of all this?”
“An heir.” He didn’t hesitate about his answer. The words came out loud and clear. His eyes remained on me the entire time.
“What else?” I asked without my own hesitation.
“Nothing. I don’t expect to get anything else out of our agreement.” Gerald rubbed my lower back. I closed my eyes as a moan escaped from his touch. “Will you give me some time to convince you?”
“Mmhmm,” I murmured with my eyes still closed. He continued rubbing my back and kissed the side of my head.
“Get dressed.”
“What?” I shrieked and looked up at him with my eyes wide open. He looked down at me in amusement.
“Unless you want to eat like that when the chef comes over. I mean, I’m all for seeing you naked during dinner,” he grinned. “I’m sure Antonio would be, too.”
I’m sure I looked mortified. I couldn’t imagine having some stranger looking at my naked body…
You’re naked right now in front of a stranger,I reminded myself.
“Let me throw some clothes on.” Without another word, I pulled out of his arms and made my way to the kitchen to retrieve my clothes.
“You sure you want to get dressed? I love seeing your body,” Gerald mused behind me as he walked into the kitchen.
“Ha. Ha. Funny man,” I looked over my shoulder and stuck my tongue out at him. He laughed more and then began putting on his shirt.
I pulled my shirt over my head and flattened it out and then searched for my pants and underwear.. As I was pulling my underwear up, Gerald’s warm fingers slid between my thighs from behind.
“Fuck,” I moaned.
“You’re too tempting, Kaylee,” Gerald whispered huskily into my ears. “Let me make you feel good before Antonio gets here.”
“Yes, sir.”
