“He’s a smart man.” She smiled as she broke our embrace.
“That he is.” I kissed her.
Chapter Thirty-Two
ONE MONTH LATER

I stood in the bathroom mirror as tears fell down my face.
“What’s wrong?” Lucas asked as he stepped out of the shower.
“My boobs are leaking.” I pointed to the round, wet spots on my nightshirt. “I’m fat as fuck, my back hurts, I have hemorrhoids, I can barely put my shoes on, and I have to pee every five minutes while you stand there looking as perfect and sexy as ever with your defined six-pack and stupid god-like body. I hate you.” I walked out of the bathroom.
I heard him chuckle as he walked over and wrapped his arms around me from behind.
“You are incredibly perfect and beautiful just as you are, and I love you so much.”
“You’re just saying that to make me feel better.”
“Do you feel that?” he asked as he pushed his body against me. “This is how much you turn me on, leaky boobs, hemorrhoids, and all.” He pressed his lips against the side of my neck, and I couldn’t help but smile. “As much as I want to show you how sexy you are, you better get dressed because the guyswill be here shortly to finish the nursery, and the furniture is being delivered today. Now stop being silly. I love you, babe.”
“I love you too.” I turned around in his arms and pressed my lips against his.

I waited at the elevator because the workers were on their way up.
“Morning, Mr. Thorne,” Jimmy and Wes spoke at the same time.
“Good morning. Listen, I need you to do me a favor.”
“Sure. What do you need?”
“I need you to give Jenna a few compliments. She’s feeling really bad about herself right now.” I gave them each a fifty-dollar bill.
“Thank you, Mr. Thorne, but you don’t need to pay us to give her compliments. We give them out for free.”
“Just take it and buy yourself something with it. You guys have done a great job in the nursery.”
“Well, in that case, thank you again.”
I patted Jimmy on the back, and they headed to the nursery.
When I walked into the kitchen, Jenna was leaning against the island, holding a cup of coffee and scrolling on her phone.
“Was that Jimmy and Wes?” she asked.
“Yeah. They should only be here a couple of hours. I got a text message from the delivery guys, and they’ll be here around three o’clock.”
“Okay. I made a cup of coffee for Jimmy and Wes. Grab one and follow me to the nursery. Good morning, boys,” Jenna said as we handed them a cup of coffee.
“Good morning. You look absolutely beautiful today, Miss Larson,” Jimmy spoke.
“Yeah. You’re like glowing.” Wes smiled.
“You’re one of the prettiest pregnant women I’ve ever seen.” Jimmy grinned.
