Page 68 of A Deceitful Pact

“Hey, she’s never gonna have to worry, not while her dadd—” Sawyer stops himself from finishing his sentence and tries to hide his hurt with a smile..

“I’m not gonna stop you from being her daddy,” I tell him, feeling tears prick the back of my eyes as he stares back at me. “I want her to have the best of everything.”

“Are you serious, right now?” His eyes fill up with tears of his own.

“Well, I figure we ain’t getting rid of you, anyway.” I roll my eyes and smile back at him.

“Don’t joke, Riley. I need to know you mean it. Are we really doin’ this?” The excitement in his voice picks up.

“You said yourself there's no ‘I’ in team. But you have to realize that there can’t be anus. I’m her mum, you’re dad, we work together to make her happy and give her what she needs. But that's as much as we can be. The sleepovers and the sex need to stop once she gets here. I’ve seen how love can turn into hate real fast, and I won’t have her suffer us hating each other.”

Sawyer's happiness seems to falter a little as he takes in what I said.

“Riley, I’m not gonna let you down, I’m gonna be everything she deserves, and more. No matter what. But…” He pauses and takes my hand. “I don’t think I could bear to see you with another man,” he admits, stroking his thumb over the finger where Jack’s ring used to be.

“Sawyer.” I reach my palm up to touch his stubbled jaw. “Trust me when I say, they’llneverbe another man.” He nods acceptingly, before turning his head to kiss my palm, and heading out the room sadly.

SAWYER

“Grrr.” Riley lifts her head from the pillow and punches it before lying back down again, then a few seconds later, she turns on her side and kicks off the covers.

“My girl keepin’ you awake?” I slide up behind her and reach my arm around her big, swollen belly. I’ve spent every night sleeping here since the night she opened up about her past. It seems the more pregnant Riley gets, the closer she likes me to be, and I ain’t mad about that, at all. I don’t allow myself to think about the fact that she wants everything to change once the baby comes.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you,” she growls miserably. “And it’s not her, it’s my own damn head.”

“Darlin’, I know it’s hard, but you need to try and switch off.” I stroke circles around her stomach, trying to soothe her.

“I know, and I’m trying so hard. I just keep going over and over what I read in Jack’s files. He had so much evidence, I don’t understand how they weren’t taken down. I know this is all linked, and if I could just get those files again. Maybe I’d see something new.”

“They weren’t taken down because the Gendrys have connections. How d’ya think Jack ended up dead? You can’t trust the FBI. You can’t trust no one when it comes to that family. It’s why we do things the way we do around here.”

“I told you we’re–”

“We’re doin’ it your way,” I finish her sentence for her, sliding my hand lower and skimming the edge of her panties. “Now, I think what you need is a distraction.” Her body instantly tenses when I push my fingers inside them and gently press the middle one against her clit.

She hums for me as I massage her right there, and I wrap the arm I have under her right around her neck, and drag her closer to me.

“Clear your mind, baby girl, just focus on my fingers,” I whisper as I tease her entrance, and her hums turn into moans.

“That’s right. You like how that feels?” I take her ear lobe between my teeth and suck it. “Stroke your tummy for me,” I demand. Every time I see her with her hand on it, I get fuckin’ hard. “I’m so proud of you, pretty girl. You look so good, growin’ my baby. So good, I might just have to give you another one.”

“What? Sawyer, we?—”

“Shhhhh.” I ease her down before she starts overthinking. It’s my own fault for thinking out loud. “Good girl, you feelin’ how this pussy’s soaking my fingers?”

“I’m gonna come,” she announces to me, and I push two of them inside her fuckin’ her slow so I can drag her orgasm out as long as possible.

Her body stiffens, and her hand grips her belly tighter as she reaches her peak.

I quickly get up and take off my boxers, then gripping Riley's ankles, I drag her down the mattress so her legs hang over the edge of the bed. Resting my palms either side of her waist, I lean down and press kisses all over her tummy, and the way she looks down her body and smiles at me, makes me wonder if she’s gonna miss this too. I haven’t questioned her about why all this needs to end when our little girl gets here. I know from past experience that it pushes her away. When it comes to her life, Riley needs to feel completely in control. But right now, she needs me to remind her not to take that life too seriously.

I drag her panties down her legs and kneel between them, spreading her pussy lips apart with a valley in my fingers and licking between them. I know exactly how she likes it, and it only takes a few strokes of my tongue for her to start bucking her hips against my mouth like a wild mustang. Her stomach's gotten too big for me to look over it and see her reaction, and I use my free hand to slide over it while she comes on my tongue.

Standing up, I take hold of her thighs and wrap them around me.

“Cling around me tight,” I tell her, taking my cock and flicking it fast against her sensitive flesh before I sink it inside her.

That relieved sigh she makes gets me every fuckin’ time and I pull all the way out of her, resting my cock against her pulsing clit so I get to hear it again.
