“I was still unsure how it would all turn out—”
“You thought I wouldn’t step up?” I heard the slight edge to his tone.
“I thought you would do what was right, but I didn’t know you loved me. When I got this job and my life plan reorganized, then I was going to tell you, and whatever your response was, I’d be prepared.”
“I hate that you even thought I’d respond badly.”
“I’m sorry I underestimated you.”
He laughed. “Considering how I treated you, I don’t blame you.” He looked me intently in the eyes. “I know I said it was just sex, Leah, but it was always more. I was just being an asshole.”
I laughed. “Well, you can stop now.”
“I promise.” He pressed his hand to my belly.
“Sebastian. Did you come because you learned about the baby?” I didn’t doubt that cared for me, but I couldn’t help but wonder if he’d have come if he hadn’t found out about the baby.
“Honestly? Valerie made me come.”
“Your wife?”
“I had a dream about her and she said I was a pussy for not going after what I wanted. I think her exact words were that I should act like a man use my big ass balls get what I want.” He used the crook of my finger to turn my face up to his. “What I wanted was everything. You and the baby.”
“I like your wife.”
He rolled his eyes. “She was naked when she told me this.”
“I can hardly blame her for that. I’ve seen you naked. It makes me want to be naked too.”
“You’re amazing, you know that?”
“Because I like you naked?”
“Because you’re not petty or mean. Because you see the good in things.”
I kissed his cheek. “I confess that if she was really there, I probably would be petty and mean.”
He pulled me close again. “Do you or the baby need anything?”
“I’ve got all I need here.” I rested my head on his shoulder. “This means we have to talk to my father.”
“I know.” He rubbed my back. “I hope I’ll have time to win his respect back.”
“If he wants to be around his grandchild, he’ll have to be nice to you.”
“Being civil and having respect aren’t the same.”
My heart went out to Sebastian, as I realized just how much my father’s respect meant to him.
I kissed his neck, inhaling his masculine scent. It made my hormones jump to life. I licked his neck. “I know I’m not as well versed in sex as you, but isn’t this where we have make up sex?”
I felt his dick swell under my thighs.
“Is it okay with the baby?”
“I’m not asking it’s permission.”
He rolled his eyes. “I meant it won’t hurt the baby?”
“No.” I took his hand and pushed it between my thighs. “I’m wet for you, Sebastian.”
He groaned. “I’m helpless against you.” He stood and carried me to the bedroom. “Do you remember the last night in Paris?”
“I do.” He lay me down on the bed, laying next to me and slowly helping me take off my clothes.
“That was the first time I ever made love.”
I quirked a brow at him. That couldn’t be true.
“No really.” He took his clothes off, and laying side to side, he pulled my body flush against his.
His hot skin sizzled against mine, making me ache with need. I threw my thigh over his hip, opening to him. He grabbed my ass and pulled me until his dick rested at my entrance.
He held there, teasing my entrance. “There’s no denying I’ve had lots of sex, but I’d never made love. Not like that.”
I pushed his hair back, noticing the slight gray at its edge. “Did you like it?”
“I did. It was more than the physical. It was like my heart cracked open and you entered my soul.”
I sighed. “I never knew you could be so romantic.”
He brushed his knuckles along my cheek. “I wasn’t. I’m not. I’m just telling you what I felt.”
I smiled. “I’ve loved you for a long time Sebastian. I’m glad you caught up.”
“I am too.”
“And I’m glad you didn’t think I lied about the pill or tried to trap you with the baby. I really was on the pill.”
“That didn’t even occur to me.” He gave me wickedly charming grin. “Let’s face it, you’re too sexy and I’m too virile… a baby was inevitable.”
I laughed; my heart so full of joy it was a wonder it didn’t come right out of my chest. I reached between us and stroked his cock.
“Do you think you’re going to use this virile cock on me anytime soon?”
“Right now, sweetheart, right now.” He leaned forward and kissed me, at the same time pressing his dick slow and steady inside me. When he was all the way in, he trailed his kisses along my jaw to my ear. “I love you, Leah.”
