she felt at that moment. She needed him. Needed to make love to him or she would die. “You are so beautiful.” Ian had barely gotten the words out. His throat was dry and his desire had him tongue-tied. Did she know the affect she had on men? On him? Alex chuckled and smiled. “We’ll see if you still think so in a few months when I blow up like a balloon.” “You’ll be even more beautiful then.” Ian slowly walked towards her and she shivered. She knew what was about to happen and she didn’t want to fight it. She loved this man and was having his child. It may not be smart but it was the right thing for her. It was what she wanted; to hell with being smart. Ian stopped abruptly and returned to grab a cup of coffee from the counter. He’d backed off from his intentions and she wasn’t sure why. “Here. Have some coffee. I ran out and got some decaf. I remember hearing that a lot of caffeine isn’t good for babies.” The man was certainly a mystery. He would be a doting father if he was given the chance. Only if... “Thank you. Can you believe I am actually feeling ready to tackle the day? As a matter of fact I can’t believe how good I’m feeling now.” And how extra fabulous I’d be feeling if you’d only followed through and taken me in your arms. “I’ve got a small shaved ham sandwich here for you and some crackers and cheese. I wasn’t quite sure what your stomach would be up for now.” “Thank you. Actually I’m starving. It looks good.” They both ate their meal in silence with each afraid to even steal more than a glance at the other. The tension was becoming more than Ian could bear. She smelled so clean and fresh from her shower. Was that strawberries he smelled in her hair? He wanted to bury his face in her curls and breathe in their scent. He wanted to taste her skin. Dear god... Alex got up from the table and carried their dishes to the sink. She started to fill the sink to wash the dishes. He watched her tiny behind as she moved and imagined entering her from behind. He grew hard thinking of being inside her. Dear god I love this woman. I need her and it doesn’t matter whose baby she’s carrying. Ian got up and went to stand behind her and wrapped his arms around her. She shut off the water in the sink, closed her eyes, and arched back to feel his hard body. He snuggled her neck and teased her with his tongue making circles on her neck and laving in her ear. She nearly collapsed. She so loved his caresses. “Alex I need you. Feel how much I need you.” Alex could feel his rigid heat pressed against her bottom. She reached behind herself to feel his erection. She could feel the dampness that formed between her own legs as Ian gently massaged her breasts with one hand while the other came to rest on her belly. Ian whispered in her ear. “It’s okay to make love to you isn’t it Alex? We won’t hurt the little one will we? Do you want to make love to me Alex? Have you missed me as much as I’ve missed you?” Alex brought both hands behind her to grasp his neck and arched even more to meet his touch. “No, we won’t hurt the baby Ian and yes, I’ve missed you. My body has missed you so much. I’ve missed you so much.” Ian grabbed the hem of her tank and pulled it over her head. She was bare from the waist up. He rained kisses all over her neck, shoulders and back. Her skin was on fire and her fresh scent drove him wild. She was always so responsive and the little moans she made when he touched her breasts were almost enough to set off his own climax. This would be the first time Alex had made love to Ian since she realized she was in love with the big clout. The anticipation of what he would do to her had her so moist and ready for him. Ian unclasped her capris and slid them along with her panties down her legs then turned her to face him as she now stood naked before him. Ian backed her against the wall and threw off his shirt and drug his pants to
