Page 5 of Pregnant By the Boss

Chapter Three

I leave the bedroom,he needs a moment or two to process this news. It’s certainly taken me a while to understand it.

I’m still pacing up and down in the lounge when he walks back in. He has a smile on his face. Thank God.

“Say, do you know what this means?”

“No.”

“You’re moving in with me. That way I can have you every night, morning and any other time I want.” He walks over to me and pulls me into his body. God he smells gorgeous.

He holds the sides of my face and he leans in. He gently kisses me on my lips. “I’m so happy. I’ve always wanted to be a dad. You’ve made my dream come true.” He kisses me again.

“Really? You’re not mad?”

“Not at all. This is the best news ever. I want you in my life. I want forever with you. You are it for me, Saylor. Don’t you ever doubt that.”

I lean into him, letting all my emotions of the last couple of days go. He catches me and lifts me to carry me to the bedroom. He gently lays me down, puts the cover over me and lies next to me. He keeps his hand on my cheek as he looks at me. “So beautiful,” he whispers. “Our kids are going to be gorgeous. They’ll have your looks, my brains and our love.”

“Whoa, hang on there a minute mister.”

“What?”

“Kids? Who said I want another one?”

“I did. I have a huge house and it’s missing something. Now I know that it’s missing you and kids. We can have a football team if you want.”

“I don’t think so, you need to hold your horses.” He’s making me dizzy, I believed that when he found out he’d be furious, claim that I’d set it up. It’s why I’ve been so nervous, and yet, here he is acting as though it’s the best thing in the world.

He chuckles, then his phone rings. I can see it’s Zara ringing. He answers. “Barrett.” I smile he never answered the phone like that to me, it was always sensual.

“No, Zara, I’m not coming back this afternoon. I told you I had some important work to do and I’m still busy.” He reaches out and takes my hand. “I might still be unavailable in the morning, don’t expect me in then either.”

He shakes his head. “You can deal with them. Just tell them an emergency came up. I own the company for fucks sake. I can do whatever the hell I want.” He hangs up.

I can’t help but laugh out loud.

“Things not working out for you there?”

He shakes his head. “It’s been hell without you this week. I already knew within a couple of days after Vegas that you do all the work and Zara is just there. I don’t know why I hired her. Actually, I do. It was mom’s idea, anything to keep her quiet. She hasn’t got a clue about anything, she doesn’t even know where the files are kept. When I ask her to get someone on the phone, she googles it. Then is kept on the line for ages. She keeps forgetting to send files out to people and it’s driving me insane. I was coming over to day to get you to come back. I thought you were avoiding me.”

“Well I kind of have up until now, but then this sickness has been terrible.”

“I will call my doctor and get her to take a look at you. Make sure you’re okay?”

“Your doctor? Do you really have a personal doctor at your beck and call?”

“Well… Erm… Yes?”

“I’m fine. I only just found out I was pregnant so I do need to go to a doctor to get checked over and begin with all the appointments, so if you want me to do that with your doctor then I will.”

“Ah, baby. Thank you.” He kisses me gently and I want more.

“Will you stay tonight?” I whisper.

“Hell yeah, I wasn’t going anywhere. This is the first day of us being together. I am not leaving you tonight. Can I ask you something though?”

“Of course.”
