drugs.
“So, do you want to talk?” He was hedging. Oh, God, how much did he know? Had Stephanie spilled the beans when he’d come to pick her up? Was he waiting to see if she would confess to the pregnancy? How would he react?
Might as well lay it all out and see where she stood. “I found out today that I’m pregnant.” She rushed on, “But don’t worry, I’m not one of those women that will try to trap you with a baby. I swear, it wasn’t intentional, but I want this child, Adam. Our child.”
Adam was smiling at her now. Smiling?
“Why are you smiling?”
“You don’t remember talking to me at the office, do you?” he asked. She shook her head in response, and he continued, “You woke up a little, and I told you I’m happy you’re having my child.” Adam pulled her to him, holding her tight, and Eva snuggled into his warmth. “I love you, Evangeline. You are my other half, the owner of my heart and soul. My God, I need you more than I need my next breath.”
It wasn’t a dream.
“I love you, too, Adam. So much that it hurt me so bad to even think you might not want this child or—”
He kissed her, gently, thoroughly, leaving no doubt in her mind that he treasured her.
“Don’t think like that, please. You’re mine to protect, cherish, love and spoil from now on.” He kissed the tip of her nose and smiled again. Man, but the look in his eyes made her want to give him everything.
“And you are mine to love, cherish and make happy in any way I can. I’ll even let you keep trying to teach me how to cook.”
Adam barked out a laugh, hugging her close, and Eva breathed him in, taking comfort in the spicy masculine scent that was just… Adam .
“Deal. Are you hungry in there?” He rubbed her stomach and grinned at her amused expression. “What?”
“You’re one of those people who loves to act all macho, but you’re a marshmallow.” He scowled and she giggled, shaking her finger at him. “Don’t even try it, buster. I know your secret now.”
“But you’ll keep my secret, because you love me.”
She cut him a sly smile.
“ Eva .” He lowered his voice in mock warning.
“I don’t know. Stephanie and Sarah might be interested to know you’re a big pushover.”
He pounced, and she squealed as he tickled her ribs. Evil man!
“Okay, okay,” she gasped. “You’re not a pushover.”
“Only with you.” He kissed her, the seductive power of his lips melting her, and she threaded her arms around his neck, moaned and was lost.
He poured all of his emotions into that kiss. The fear, the joy, and the depth of the love he had for her, and she met him every step of the way. She felt their connection, and his love was like a warm balm to her soul.
“I can feel everything ,” she gasped. “Are you afraid of something?”
“I was terrified I’d lost you today. When you were unconscious, I couldn’t feel you. I guess that’s because it wasn’t a natural state of rest—I’m not sure—but I never want that to happen again.” He cupped her face in his hands, gazing intently into her eyes, his own almost desperate. “Promise me.”
“I’ll do my best to never scare you like that again, but you’ve got to promise me that you’ll never scare me, either. If something is wrong, we’ll face it together, no holding back.”
“Deal. Like right now, I think we both have too many clothes on, and that’s a problem. We should fix that.”
“Absolutely.” Yes, she needed this, too. Needed to feel connected to him in the most natural way there was.
Quickly stripping them both, he rolled her beneath him and entered her slowly. She never got tired of the feel of him stretching her slick channel, filling her completely.
Adam began a lazy rhythm that soon had her panting and writhing beneath him.
Evangeline was nearing her peak. Already, her womb tightened as her release quickly approached, but she needed more. She needed him to take her, to stake his claim and make
