Nile looked at me doubtfully, but I would leave no room in his mind for doubt. I took a step back and maintained eye contact while I removed my clothing, tossing it off to the side.

“Take your clothes off,” I commanded. “Before I do it for you.”

The combination of my nakedness and my assurances of my health and safety seemed to change Nile’s mind. He met my teasing demands with a mischievous look in his eyes.

“Yes, ma’am,” he said with a grin, jumping out of his clothes even quicker than I had.

He strode toward me purposefully and lowered me into the grass smoothly. I raised my legs up and placed my ankles onhis shoulders. Without any foreplay, his erect shaft entered me hard and quick. I moaned in pleasure as he put steady pressure on my clit with his thumb and began to rub it as he thrust in and out with an even tempo.

“Yes, Nile,” I panted. “Give it to me.”

Nile grunted as he pulled away from me and lowered my feet to the ground.

“Wait, that’s not what I told you to do,” I said with a pout.

Nile didn’t respond but instead he winked before turning me over so that I was on all fours while he knelt behind me. His powerful hands gripped my hips to position my body, and he buried himself inside me once again.

“Oh!” I exclaimed, enjoying the surprise of the position change and the power of his body as he moved me where he wanted me to go.

For a while, the only sounds we heard were the birds singing in the trees above us, the wind blowing through the forest, our breath coming in quick pants, and the sound of skin hitting skin as he pounded me from behind.

There was no one around to hear us, so I didn’t bother trying to temper the sounds of my pleasure when I reached climax. I let out a long moan of passion as my legs shook beneath me. Nile’s movements stilled behind me, and we untangled ourselves from one another.

“Damn, Nile. You sure know how to do as you’re told,” I joked breathlessly.

Nile laughed. “My mate told me to fuck her. Who am I to say no?”

I lay back on the forest floor, staring up at the sky as I caught my breath. Nile lay down next to me, but instead of looking up, he studied my face, tracing a finger over my features.

“Are you alright?” he asked quietly. “Do you want me to take you home so you can rest?”

“You’re going to have to stop being so overprotective of me,” I chided him.

“I’m not sure I can do that,” he said seriously.

I studied his face as I tried to figure out what was behind his concerned expression. Nothing I had done or experienced would give him the impression that something bad would happen to me during pregnancy. So, what…

It’s Jana, Lavender realized.He cares about you, and even though he is excited about having a baby with you, all he can think about is what happened the last time his wife was pregnant.

We’re going to have to do something about that,I replied.

Chapter 22 - Nile

The only way I could seem to manage my fears lately was by throwing myself into my work, which was exactly what I was trying to do today. I had left for work before the sun came up and had been assessing our backstock and future orders for the past eight hours.

There wasn’t much left for me to do, but the thought of going home and trying to suppress my worries about Violet’s pregnancy didn’t seem very appealing to me. I was painfully aware of how much I had been getting on her nerves lately, and while I didn’t want to annoy her, I also hadn’t been able to find a way to stop.

Instead, I would stay at work and find something monotonous to do. When I first came to Pinedale and met Jana’s father, he had given me a job cleaning and facing shelves. It was probably the most mind-numbing activity I could do. I headed for the back corner, deciding to begin there and make my way from back to front, one side to the other.

It was a slow day, and there were few customers in the store. I managed to finish one full row when Violet surprised me.

“Hey there, handsome,” she said. “Don’t you have some teenagers somewhere around here who can do work like that for you?”

“Vi, I’ve never seen you in here before. I didn’t even think you knew where my store was,” I teased, putting the cleaning supplies down.

“Aren’t you funny. Seriously, though, why are you cleaning?”

I shrugged, not sure how to explain why she had found me in this position.
