“No office hours the other days?”
He smiled. “I scheduled them for Thursdays while I’m already on campus. Why, are you worried about my office hours?” There was a teasing glint in his eyes.
“I know girls are going to come in and flirt with you because of course they will. Look at you. But no, I’m not worried. If I recall correctly, it was neverstudentsplural that you were interested in. Just one student.”
“Just you.” His eyes wandered down to my boots. “Those boots have always done something to me.”
I smiled. They weren’t hideous at all. They were sexy.I knew it!All I wanted to do was straddle him and kiss him. But…I’d just thrown up a minute ago. I wasn’t about to subject him to that awfulness.
Instead, I leaned forward, resting my chin on my knee. “I’m sorry. I just wanted tonight to be perfect.”
“Every night with you is perfect.”
“Not when your son is being terrible and making me sick.”
James stopped rubbing my palm and put his hand on my stomach. “You mean when ourdaughteris being terrible and making you sick. I don’t know why you believe Rob is right about this. He’s rarely right about anything.”
“That’s not true. And I really think he’s right this time.” I had no idea why, but it was like I just knew it was going to be a boy. Rob and I were both adamant about it. There was no changing our minds. I knew no matter how much I believed it, it didn’t necessarily make it true though. It could be a girl…not.
A small part of me wanted to know for sure what we were having. But a much larger part of me liked not knowing. I wanted tobelieve we were going to have a little James running around soon. I put my hand on my stomach. “Despite what you think, Rob is rarely wrong about anything.”
James shook his head. “Rarely wrong about anything? Do you not remember when he thought you were a prostitute?”
I laughed and lightly pushed James’ shoulder. “Well he never would have thought that if you didn’t keep me a secret from him.”
“Touché.” He pulled me back into his arms. “We did not stay a secret for very long though.” He kissed the side of my neck. “I couldn’t keep my hands off you.”
I tilted my head back as his trail of kisses fell to my clavicle.
“I still can’t.”
God, just a few kisses and I was melting.
His lips wandered back up my neck to my lips.
“James!” I pushed on his chest. “It’s one thing for you to sit here when I puke, it’s another to kiss me. I need to brush my teeth a thousand times first.” I slowly stood up, everything moving a little slower these days. “Give me a minute and then meet me at the front door. I want a do-over. Tonight is still going to be perfect.”
“You got it.”
I ran upstairs to our bathroom and brushed my teeth twice and used way too much mouthwash. I hurried back down into the foyer.
James was standing at the front door, leaning casually against the doorjamb.
My heart started racing when I saw him. That sweater on him really did something to me.
“Happy first day back at teaching,” I said as I walked up to him. “If I recall correctly, you were not wearing this sweater when you left today.” I placed my hands on his abs, easily feeling them through the fabric.
“No, this was all for you.”
“Is that so, professor?”
He nodded, placing a hand on the side of my face. “And if I recall correctly, you were not wearing this outfit when I left for work today.”
I shook my head.
His hand wandered down the side of my neck, down the front of my chest, pausing between my breasts. “You can still see the stain.”
“What?” I looked down. And sure enough there was a very faint brown stain on my tank top where the coffee had spilled. How had I not seen that? “Well that’s not very sexy.”
