Page 25 of A Deceitful Pact

“Grrrrr.” I force him away and grab my coffee mug from under the machine.

“Sit down.” I point toward the table and wait for him to take a seat. “I appreciate everything you're doing, all this is really sweet,” I explain, thinking about how grateful most women in my position would be feeling right now. “But I’m starting to think that you're forgetting what we agreed on.”

“We agreed that I would get you pregnant. Ain’t that what I’m doing here?” He looks back at me as if I’m the crazy one.

“I guess it is, but you just seem so… committed.” I try putting all this into words.

“Of course, I’m committed, and this is me showing ya that you picked the right guy for the job.” He winks, and I can’t help but snort a laugh at him.

“Riley, if we're doing this, I want us to do it right. I’ve never been trusted with something so important in my whole life,” he admits with a straight face and sincerity in his eyes. It turns my insides to Jell-O.

“So answer me this.” I shake myself back to reality and prepare to ask the question that could ruin everything. “Why are you not saving all this for someone special? Someone who you’d see it through all the way to the end with?” I won’t say it out loud, but I think Sawyer would make a good dad. I don’t want what he’s doing for me to take away his opportunity to have that.

He flicks his eyes away from mine while he thinks about how to answer me.

“Because there ain’t a woman in this world that deserves the burden of that. I told ya before, I ain’t cut out to be a father,” he reminds me, still looking at his feet as if he’s ashamed.

“And what about what happened yesterday… before we got interrupted?”

“You mean when you almost kissed me?” The smile quickly returns to his face.

“That's not how it happened.” I shake my head. “Youwere gonna kissme,and that breaks all the rules.”

“That won’t happen again unless, of course, ya ask me to.” He rubs his lips together.

“Well, that isn’t gonna happen,” I assure him, keeping my head held high and my pride firmly fixed in place.

“Okay,” He claps his hands together. “Now that we got that cleared up, shall we?” He gestures with his arm down the hall.

“Shall we what?”

“You think I just came over here to bring you breakfast? I came to give you some more of the good stuff.” He starts to unbuckle his belt, and I shake my head before taking another sip of my coffee, standing up and dragging him toward my room.

SAWYER

Istand in the alley, with my back straight against the wall, and chance another glance into her office window. Harriet has left, the door is closed, and when I see Riley tapping away at her computer, I smile to myself. Life doesn’t get much better than it is right now. Me and Riley are having sex every day, sneaking around is a whole lotta fun, and soon she’s gonna be all swollen and round. Because of me.

I see the way all the guys in town look at her, even the ones who are married or wouldn’t stand a chance. I also know the kinda thoughts that run through their minds and I don’t like ‘em. All those fuckers need to know that she’s mine, and her walking around town with the pretty, baby belly I’m gonna give her will be the perfect way to prove it.

I tap on the glass, and when she sees me, instead of rolling her eyes, she smiles excitedly and gets up from her chair.

“What are you doing outside my window?” she asks after pulling it up.

“Just admiring the view.” I look her up and down, before checking the coast is clear and clambering through. I waste no time, heading for the door and flicking the lock so we won’t be interrupted.

“Did anyone see you come down the alley?” She pulls the blind down over the window, then takes off her utility belt and places it on the desk.

“Don’t worry, I was careful,” I assure her, heading over to unbutton her shirt. I know it’s quicker for her to stay dressed, but I wanna see those perfect tits bounce while I fuck her.

“You look pretty today,” I tell her, and the way she shrugs it off and reaches down to open my belt tells me she’s not used to getting compliments.

“Hey,” I raise her chin with the crook of my finger and force her to hear it again. “I mean it. You look really fuckin’ beautiful.”

“Sawyer, you don’t have to do all that. You're already exceeding the service I’d get at the clinic. We should just keep this formal.” Her hand delves into my boxers to take out my cock so we can get back to business.

“I’ve never had formal sex before, I’m not sure how to do it.” I watch her push her pants to the floor and admire the cute, lace panties she’s wearing.

“I guess it’s just sex without all the charm…I’m not like all the other girls, Sawyer. I don’t need all that crap, okay?” I can sense her getting upset, and that’s the last thing I intended by giving her a compliment.
