The Soldier's Baby Surprise (For the Baby's Sake, Book 1) by Stephanie Morris Page A

questions for me?
                  “None that I can think of.” Willow responded. “Chase?”
                  “No, between Willow and Geneva, I think they’ve both managed to answer my questions.”
                  Dr. Mayer smiled. “Yes, I recall one particular appointment when Willow brought in a list of questions from you.”
                  A red flush appeared at the base of Chase’s neck. “Just doing my best to be an active participant even though I was miles away.”
                  “Well, you did an awesome job. However, speaking of distance, you’re home now and I know you and Willow will probably spend some time rekindling your relationship. Sexual intimacy is perfectly okay. Mother and baby and perfectly healthy, if that changes, I’ll be the first to let you know.”
                  Willow wanted to get off the examination table and crawl up underneath it. She felt Chase shift beside her, but she refused to make eye contact with him.
                  “Thank you, Dr. Mayer,” he finally replied. “That’s good to know.”
                  Willow was relieved when she and Chase finally exited the doctor’s office. Until she’d seen him half naked last night the thought of sex hadn’t crossed her mind. The past six months she’d been plagued with an array of emotions, but none of them sexual that she could recall. Now it seemed to be the only thing she could think about.
                  “Do you have time to grab a quick lunch, or do you need to get back to work?” Chase asked.
                  “I’m craving a hamburger, so let’s get something quick.”
                  “Then let’s go get you one,” he responded as he took her hand into his.
                  A short time later she sat in a booth across from him, doing her best not to scarf down the wonderful burger in front of her. Instead she forced herself to eat like the civilized human being that she was.
                  “You’ve been quiet since we left the doctor’s office. Is something wrong?” he asked.
                  Willow gave a slight shake of her head since she’d just stuffed a French fry into her mouth. Once she finished chewing, she spoke. “To be honest, no. I’m just a little embarrassed about how the appointment ended. I swear I didn’t know that Dr. Mayer was going to bring up sex. I don’t want you to think you have to be intimate with me.”
                  He frowned. “Is there a reason why I shouldn’t be?”
                  She leaned back in the booth. “Seriously? Look at me. I wasn’t a tiny woman to begin with, and I’m okay with that. But I’ve definitely put on weight. I just don’t feel attractive right now. That being the case there’s no way you can think I am either.”
                  His eyebrows arched so high they almost disappeared into his hairline. “I’d ask you to repeat yourself, but hearing what you just said once was enough.” He leaned forward. “Let’s get something straight right now, seeing you carrying and nurturing my child turns me on more than you will ever know. It has taken every ounce of willpower that I have to keep my hands off of you.”
                  He dragged a palm down his once again clean-shaven face. “Perhaps that was a mistake on my part, but I wanted things to be different between us this time. I wanted to continue to build upon the connection we’ve been working on the past six months, before we become intimate again.” He paused, leaning closer to her. “But make no mistake, Willow, I plan to have you underneath me again, sweetly crying out my name in pleasure as you come, but I’m not going to rush it. Understand?”
                  She squirmed in her chair under his passion filled gaze, tempted to tell him
