"James," I moaned.

"Oh, no, Miss Taylor." He pinched my nipples even harder. "I don't believe we're on a first name basis yet. What are you going to scream when you come?"

"Professor Hunter," I panted.

"Scream it when you come, baby. Let everyone know how fucking wrong this is. How much you enjoy breaking the rules. How all you dream about is my cock deep inside of you."

"Professor Hunter!" I shattered around him as I felt his warmth spread up into me. I felt his naked chest against my back. His hands slid to my stomach. He placed a kiss on the top of my spine.

I shuddered once more and he groaned.

"Hearing you call me that still gets me so hard."

"Even when I'm as big as an elephant?" I didn't need to ask the question. He was still as hard as a rock and he had just cum.

He kissed the back of my neck. "I wasn't lying when I said I liked you pregnant. And guess what the best part is?"

I laughed and he groaned again.

"What?" I asked and peered at him over my shoulder.

"That there isn't a doubt in anyone's mind that you're mine. When they see this," he said as he ran his palm along my stomach again. "Everyone knows you're completely off limits."

"I have a ring for that."

"Hmm." He pulled out of me. "That's not quite the same."

I instantly felt an emptiness. It was like I never truly felt complete unless our bodies were intertwined.

"Now, my beautiful wife, let me show you how fucking right you and I actually are." He scooped me up into his arms.

I clasped my hands behind his neck. "What did you have in mind?"

"There's at least six hours before Scarlett wakes us up," he said as he carried me to the stairs.

"You have work in the morning."

"And you need my undivided attention for a few hours. But maybe not quite as much as I need yours." He smiled down atme. Any lingering sleepiness was gone from his face. That empty feeling was about to be extinguished. Maybe a couple more times.

The Light to My Darkness - Chapter 14

Wednesday

I closed the lid of my suitcase. James would be home any minute. I touched the center of my chest. All I needed to do was go to this appointment and get the all clear. Then I could focus on Bee's bachelorette party. We were leaving at the crack of dawn tomorrow morning. Separate cars so that we'd have a little girl time before meeting the guys at the beach. It was going to be so much fun. And I was beyond excited for their wedding on Saturday. I had been waiting for years for Bee and Mason to tie the knot.

My phone buzzed and I lifted it off the bed. There was a text from James. I clicked on it.

"We just pulled into the garage. We should probably get going if we're going to make the appointment on time."

I laughed and slid my phone into my purse. That was his nice way of saying, "get your ass down here or we're going to be late." I made my way down the stairs. The house was too quiet today. Scarlett had insisted on going to the park and Ellen had insisted that I wasn't allowed to accompany them. She usually tended to agree with James.

I stepped onto the elevator and watched the doors close. The day alone had given me time to read through my rough draft for my second book. And our heated night made it easy for the words to flow. I was pretty sure all the scenes with him were perfect. It was the moments with Tyler that were tripping me up. Picturing him in his Wesley costume on Halloween put this feeling of guiltin my stomach. And my son could feel it. It was as though he was trying to kick it out of me.

I needed to talk to Hails. That's what was bothering me. I'd be hanging out with her all day tomorrow. Certainly I could smooth things over. But maybe she wasn't even upset about that. We had never talked about my past with Tyler. She had always seemed cool about it. Was there something else bothering her? I tried to shake away the thought. The last thing I needed before going to the cardiologist was to get upset.

Breathe in. Breathe out. "Hi, William," I said as I walked up to the car. "How has your day been?"

"Very good, Mrs. Hunter." He bowed slightly as he opened up the door.
