Page 76 of A Deceitful Pact

“I heard all that you know.” I decide to come clean after a few minutes of silence.

“I don’t know what you're talkin’ about.” He nestles his nose up against my neck.

“Sawyer, I don’t like being the way I am, if I had a choice–”

“I don’t need you to love me, Riley.” He silences me with a whisper.

“You deserve to be loved. You deserve so much better than what I can give you.”

“Do you like me?” I feel the bed move as he props himself up.

“What?” I laugh at his question.

“I asked if you like me.”

I turn my head to look over my shoulder and see that he’s being serious.

“You wouldn’t be here if I didn’t like you,” I point out the obvious.

“Then that's enough.” He rests his head back down like he’s going to go to sleep

“Enough? Enough for what?” I roll over so I’m facing him.

“Enough for me to let you win every fight we have, before it starts. Enough for me to stick around and wait until you realise you're wrong. I love you, Riley Hale, and I don’t care if it takes two years or twenty for you to realise that you can trust me. Just don’t deny us this once she gets here, let her see how happy we make each other. Let her see a man tirelessly love a woman, so that’s the bar she sets for herself. You don’t have to love me, Riley, I got that part all covered.” He kisses my forehead and smiles.

“I’ll think about it,” I promise, snuggling into his chest and letting myself imagine a world where we stay together.

SAWYER

SIX WEEKS LATER

“Slow down.” I laugh as Riley bounces herself up and down on my cock. I’m very aware that tomorrow is her due date, and her waters could break anytime. She doesn’t seem to be.

“I’m fine.” She thrusts her hips back and forth so wildly, I’m starting to wonder if something’s going on, especially when she starts to squeeze her nipples.

“There something you wanna tell me?” I cradle her huge stomach in one hand and use my thumb to stroke her clit with the other.

“Can’t think of anything off the top of my head.” She smiles me a wicked smile, getting even more savage as she nears an orgasm. “Oh fuck, Sawyer, keep doing that.” She throws her head back.

“Seriously, darlin’, slow down.” Despite my concerns, I feel myself getting closer as she rides me like she’s been possessed by the devil.

“Sawyer, come with me, I want all your cum inside me, please.” Her hands grip my wrists as she reaches her summit, and that deep throb her pussy makes, forces me to finish with her.

“Holy shit, girl.” I pour into her, feeling my head spin.

“What got into you?” I ask once we both get our breath back.

“Nothing.” She shrugs innocently, sliding off my lap to lie beside me.

“Riley, you're about to pop, and you just rode me like you were competing in the Kentucky Derby.” I rest up on my elbow and wait for her to give me an explanation.

“Today might be the day I choose for the sweepstake,” she mumbles, turning her head away from me.

“Are you kidding me?” I laugh.

“What? Eleanor said I could join in once the father mystery was solved. I went with a girl, born today at six pounds, five ounces.”

“Six pounds, five ounces? Darlin’, your wishin’. I got her comin’ out at least eight.”
