Page 26 of The Baby Twist
“She said she knew and would prefer to raise the baby alone.”
“Do you think she meant it, or was she just saying that for your benefit?”
“Nah, she meant it. She’s a very independent woman. But beneath all that independence, she’s broken inside.”
“Well, you know what? Congrats to you for impregnating probably the only woman in the world who doesn’t want you around.” He smiled as he held up his glass.
“Yeah. I got lucky.” I tipped my glass to his. “I’m thinking about offering her a job at the company.”
“Why the hell would you do that?”
“Because she’s smart, and I could use someone like her. Plus, she’d be competition if she were to go to work for another technology company, and I would be stupid to let her do that.”
“I guess. But then she’d be in your life every day. You already said you’re having nothing to do with the kid—wait a minute. Are you falling for her?”
“No.” I frowned. “Of course not. This is purely a business decision.”
“And if she doesn’t want to work for you?”
“I’ll just have to convince her she’d be making a mistake if she didn’t.”
By the time I got home, it was ten-thirty. After changing into a pair of pajama bottoms, I went into the bathroom and brushedmy teeth. When I was finished, I was surprised when I walked out of the bathroom and saw Jenna sitting on the edge of my bed.
“Hey there. I thought you were sleeping.”
“I can’t sleep. Listen, we need to talk.”
“Okay. What’s wrong?” I asked as I walked to my closet.
“I’m incredibly horny.”
I stopped dead in my tracks, turned around, and looked at her.
“What?”
“I’m horny, Lucas, and something needs to be done about it. I mean, come on, you’ve already impregnated me, so there’s nothing to worry about. Plus, I consider us friends, and you owe me for fixing your coding problem.”
The corners of my mouth curved upward as I walked over to her.
“I do owe you, don’t I?” I said, taking a few strands of her hair between my fingers.
“The one time we had sex was amazing, right?” She looked up at me with her beautiful eyes.
“Yes. It was amazing.” I slid one strap of her nightshirt off her shoulder.
“Then there’s no harm in repeating that amazing night. Do you agree?”
“I totally agree. I see no harm in it at all.” I smiled as I leaned in and brushed my lips against hers.”
“Thank God,” she spoke as she wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me on top of her.
Chapter Thirteen
Jenna
I gripped the sheets as he thrust in and out of me. Loud moans escaped my lips at the pleasure. I’d never forgotten that night we shared, nor did my body. My hormones were at an all-time high, and I couldn’t stop thinking about sex. Even while we were eating dinner, I couldn’t stop thinking about his sexy body on top of mine.
“My God. I can’t believe how wet you are,” he spoke with bated breath. “This is incredible.”
