Page 89 of Falling in Love with Two

I think for a moment. “I guess not.”

“Exactly. You just exude this good, pure energy. But you’re also hot, so you know, you’re a sexy golden retriever. You're kind of like a golden retriever in the streets, but a Doberman in the sheets.”

“So, it’s a good thing?”

She nods. “Very.”

“Why not call me names of just golden retrievers?”

“There aren’t as many I can think of, so all dogs will do.”

“You can call me whatever you want, gorgeous. Do you want to watch a movie?”

“Sure.”

I open up one of the streaming apps. “What are you thinking?”

“Surprise me, Scrappy.”

14 weeks pregnant

“Hey!” Amy pokes her head into my room at the shop. “How’s it going?”

“Okay,” I reply. “Morning sickness has been pretty non-existent for a couple of weeks now, so that’s a plus.”

“That’s great!” She grins. “I came to see if you wanted to grab a bite to eat. We’ve both got some time between appointments.”

“Actually, my last one was canceled, so I’m done for the day.”

“Oh, well, do you want to get some food anyway?” She asks.

“Can I take a rain check? I need to get back to the house. Dylan’s making dinner.”

I can tell she’s disappointed, but she does her best to hide it. “Sure. We can do it another time.”

Grabbing my bag, I tell her goodbye as I walk out.

As I drive, I feel guilty. Partly for bailing on Amy, but more so for lying to her. The truth is that I’m going home to an empty house. Dylan went to hang out with one of his sisters. I get some alone time.

It’s not that I don’t love spending time with him. I still do. I love all of our time together. That has nothing to do with it.

The fact of the matter is that I’m now in my second trimester, which means I’m feeling much better. Morning sickness is gone. My boobs don’t hurt like they did, and I’m not quite so tired. I got rid of a whole hell of a lot, but one very big thing returned.

My sex drive.

For the past few days, it’s all I’ve been able to think about. My vagina has been screaming to be touched in every way imaginable. Last night, I had sex dreams all night long. I woke up ready to hump anything I could get my hands on.

Could I bang one out with Dylan?

Sure.
