“I told you it was silly. It’s just when you go to work or you leave here, I just want you to have something you can take with you.”
“I can’t tell you what that means,” he rasps, leaning over the console to press a sweet kiss to my lips.
“I’m so thankful that you were willing to do this,” I say, waving my hand in a small circle.
“I told you I want to take care of you.”
“I know.” I smile at the insistence in his voice. “But I think I haven’t been taking care ofme.”
“I need more words, Stunner, I need?—”
“Everything feels out of control, Beau, and I just need a little of it back.” My mind strays to the package sitting unopened onthe counter and I smile at the rightness of my idea. “Can you wait here for like ten minutes before you come inside?”
Opening his mouth, he pauses, searching my face for a moment. “Okay.”
Pressing a quick kiss to his cheek, I push out of the truck and hop out before hurrying up the porch steps. I give him a small wave as I go inside, a little thrill shooting through me as I close the door and toss my coat aside.
The package is nondescript, covering the pretty white lingerie inside. It wasn’t expensive, but I’d ordered it because I like it, because the delicate fabric makes me feel feminine and powerful.
Sexy.
And while I’m in awe of being able to grow the little person inside me, I feel like I’ve lost that confidence and I want it back.
Glancing at the clock, I only have six minutes left.
No time to go upstairs.
Stripping out of my clothes, I let them drop to the floor at my feet before shimmying on the sheer white panties. The teddy is pretty, the ruching on the cups delicate with a little white bow in the center, the fabric flowing away in two pieces from the middle.
Pulling it over my head, I do my best to adjust it so my breasts are onlyslightlyspilling out the top. Looking down at myself, I can’t help but smile, my belly parting the fabric.
I feel beautiful.
And maybe this isn’t the way I saw my life going, but I love this little baby and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t really like their father. So even though our arrangement is temporary, and I’ll undoubtedly get attached, I can’t keep denying to myself that IwantBeau.
It hasn’t been that long, but sleeping in different beds under the same roof is grating on my nerves as much as the heartburn that comes late at night.
The sound of the truck shutting off has my heart beating fast in my chest as I pull my hair down and fluff it around my shoulders.
Here goes nothing.
BEAU
My boots areheavy on the porch as I cross to the door, my hand hovering above the knob as I take a steadying breath before opening the door.
And freeze.
Because of all the possible scenarios playing out in my head in the last ten minutes, I didn’t dare hope for this one.
I’d watched Indie’s body grow and change over the last few weeks, my dick hard as I imagined her full tits and those curves.
And her belly.
Fuck.
I’d never been more attracted to a person in my entire life, but aside from the weekend she told me she was pregnant, we hadn’t done more than kiss in a long time.
And that was fine.
