“Ten months,” he said. “It’s really ten months from your last period.”
“Yes, Doctor,” I said and laughed, squeezing him again. “Whatever you say.”
“You’re serious?” he said, searching my face as if he didn’t believe me. “You’re willing to try? Now?”
“Right this minute?” I said, smiling coyly. “My period is due tomorrow or the next day so, you’re out of luck for two more weeks…”
He laughed and pulled me into his arms. “Don’t take your birth control once your cycle is finished. You won’t likely get pregnant right away, because you’ve been on the pill for a while but it’ll be fun to try.”
“This is all because of what happened with Liam? Have you really thought this through?”
He rolled onto his back and stared at the ceiling, his arm still under my neck. I snuggled closer, my hand on his chest.
“I realized when I saw him on the hospital bed that he looked so much like me with his dark hair and blue eyes. I felt such incredible love for him at that moment, even though I don’t even know him. I knew I’d do anything for him, even stay out of the picture until he was old enough to understand.”
He turned to look in my eyes. “I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to love children because I felt so neglected by my mother and father, but I was wrong. I could love children. I want them, sooner than later. We never know how much time any of us have. I don’t want to wait in case there’s no tomorrow.”
“Oh, Drake,” I said and snuggled even closer, squeezing my arm around his waist, my eyes filling with tears at his confession. “We don’t have to.”
He leaned down and kissed me and then he fixed me with his eyes. “I want you to think about this for the next week, and if you change your mind, I’ll understand. I’ll be sad, but I’ll understand.”
“I won’t change my mind,” I said. “I want everything with you, Drake. I want you to be the father of my children.”
He kissed me then, warmly, deeply, and I thought he might want to make love, but he never made the first move and so I lay in his arms, filled with emotion for this wonderful man I had all to myself. He wanted me to have his children. He wanted us to be a real family. I wanted to give him that – something he never had growing up, despite all the wealth and privilege.
We fell asleep in each other’s arms, the light from the street filtering in through the curtains at the window.
Drake
Two weeks later…
I checked my watch and saw that it was almost three o’clock, so I picked up my cell and called Kate.
She answered, her voice sounding slightly teasing. “Doctor Morgan, how unexpected to get your call.”
“Mrs. Morgan, I have an hour off between appointments and want to rush over and ravish you. My calculations say you are more than ready. This is day fourteen since the start of your last menstrual period.”
She laughed on the other end of the call. “Yes and we’ve done it twice a day for the past three days, but I’m always more than ready for you, Doctor. I’ll be waiting. Do you have any specific requests? Blindfolded in the living room? Bound in the bedroom? On my knees in the pantry? Or the usual?”
“In this case, the usual. You, naked on the bed with a pillow under your round little ass, waiting and filled with lust.”
She laughed lightly. “You’re enjoying this aren’t you? I thought you wouldn’t because it’s very very vanilla. Where’s Master ‘D’ been hiding?”
I chuckled. “The way I’m feeling, Mrs. Morgan, is very very kinky, but a very specific kink. One that involves bareback and impregnation. So, still kinky after all, I guess.”
“I never thought of it that way,” she said and I could hear the smile in her voice. “I’ll be ready and waiting. Filled with lust.”
“Legs spread,” I said, already imagining the visuals. “I want to see my target as soon as I walk in the bedroom.
“You won’t look in my eyes first?” she said with mock disappointment. “A lady doesn’t like to be ignored…”
“Mrs. Morgan, I assure you, I won’t ignore you in the least. I’ll be looking at your sweet little naked pussy, because I am going to eat you and make you beg for release, then I’m going to fuck you and then I’m going to make you come really hard.”
“You talk so dirty, Doctor Morgan, I hope your secretary isn’t listening at the door. I do believe I’ll be more than ready.”
I imagined her precisely in the position I described, naked, her legs spread wide to reveal herself to me.
“I’m counting on it.”
