"No. It's just different this time."

"Different?" I cocked my head. "I don't see how." I climbed on top of her and stroked her cheek. "I don't see why you should be shy. You're the most beautiful person I've ever met."

"I..." She stared into my eyes, "Can we be gentle this time? I don't think I can handle our usual evenings."

I smiled and kissed her on the lips, "Of course, Princess. Whatever you desire, I'll make it come true."

I moved back and pressed the tip of my shaft against her folds. She sucked in a deep breath of anticipation. I loved this soft side of her. The side she likely had never shown anyone but me. It was our thing that I wanted to keep close to me. She was my lover and I would make sure she stayed mine for as long as I could have her.

I entered her slowly, pressing myself as deeply as I could before starting to thrust in and out. Her gasps of pleasure filled the room as she reached for the headboard.

"Jared!" She called out.

She tightened around me, "Fuck, you're getting tighter." I leaned forward and pulled her close to me. My cock pushed deeper than before, stretching her out as I drowned in her scent.

She wrapped her hands around me, digging her nails deep into my back. I couldn't handle it much longer. Being so close to her, and connecting with her in such a way felt completely different from any of our times together before. This was no longer simple lust.

"Oh god, Jared. Please," she whimpered in my ear. "I want you to keep fucking me."

"I'll keep doing it until you beg me to stop. You don't need to worry," I growled and lowered her back on the bed.

I pumped faster this time, pacing myself with her shuddering breath and gasps of pleasure. I pressed a thumb against her clit, circling it slowly at my own pace. Her screams heightened.

My cock stiffened more inside her. I couldn't stop. I was at my brink.

"Fuck!" she screamed.

At that moment, her back arched as she let out a loud audible scream of pleasure. Her pussy tightened on my cock and started to pulsate. I exploded inside her, filling up her depths. The muscles inside her milked my shaft for every last drop, as if hungry for more.

I dropped closer to her, brushing my lips against hers, "I will never let you go."

"I don't want you to let me go. I want to be with you forever. I think I genuinely love you, Jared."

I kissed her deeply, parting my lips to taste her and letting our tongues intertwine with one another. She was perfect. It didn't matter anymore who she was related to, or friends with. She was mine and that was all that mattered.

My legs shook as I stared at my phone. They would be there any minute and I still wasn't sure what I was going to tell my brother and Amanda. I didn't think they would hate me for what I had to say, but it was still a minor possibility.

I took another sip of my coffee, and made a face. Not only was it decaf, on account of the pregnancy, but it was already cold after sitting in front of me for an hour. I couldn't remember how long I had sat in the cafe. Perhaps I had been there all morning. All I remembered was asking Carl to meet me here at 11. After that, my body went fully automatic from getting dressed to getting here.

"Do you need another drink?" the barista asked after the customers had finally dispersed from the counter.

I shook my head quickly. I would finish my drink, even if it was cold. I couldn't spend too much money. Jared said he would support me financially, but I wasn't going to let him just keep me afloat forever. I needed to be financially stable, and not drown in debt or bills. Jared didn't deserve a failure like that.

My mind drifted back to two nights ago when he had spent the night with me. Even after we made love and I showered, he stayed close to me the entire night. I did not need a blanket with how warm his body felt against me. I had nuzzled into him, and fallen into a deep sleep in his arms. I only woke up late in the afternoon.

He had to leave later that day after making me brunch for work. Though I made him promise to come and stop by soon, or I would track him down for a surprise visit. The smirk on his face as he left told me everything I needed to know. He was looking forward to seeing me again soon.

I shook my head, bringing my thoughts back to the present. Carl and Amanda still hadn’t arrived, and the cafe was quiet.

"Where are you," I half whispered to myself.

"Miss us?" Carl said from behind me.

I jumped in surprise, turned around and rammed my elbow into the table.
