Page 79 of Our Unexpected Beginning
“Sometimes I forget and say bad words when we make up stories. You know, the one’s kids get spankings for.”
“Oh you adorable man.” She embraced the lighthearted reprieve in their serious conversation.
Julia was the first to break the silence. “We’re having a baby; I have no earthly clue as to where we’re going or what’s next. But, I do know one thing.”
“What’s that?”
“I want to do it with you.”
“I don’t want to only worship your body, Jules. You’re so much more than that. I want all the parts of you. Even the ones that you think are scary. I want all of it with you. With our baby.”
The corner of her mouth turned into a smile. She reached for Graham’s hand and placed it on her left side, under her ribs.
The baby kicked again and Graham’s eyes widened. “That’s beyond unbelievable.”
“I know. He’s been very active this week.” Julia looked up at Graham with certainty. “You love me in a way I’ve always wanted. I don’t feel worthy of it.”
“I do, you are, and you better get used to it.”
“How did you talk me into coming here tonight?” Julia didn’t want to be a spoil-sport. She hadn’t been feeling her best the past few weeks and the comfort of home took over.
“Because you’ve hidden away and Mel and Lexi were going to have my hide if you didn’t show up.” Graham pulled her jacket off revealing the outfit he’d set out for her. A wraparound satin robe covered the cream colored babydoll with purple trim. Sweats and Graham’s shirt’s have been her uniform as of late.
“Plus, your dominant has plans for you this evening, my beautiful girl.” He kissed her cheek, folded her jacket over his arm, and placed his palm on the small of her back.
“Dominant?” She questioned with a small smile.
Graham led her to the elevators and allowed her to step ahead of him. The doors hissed closed and he caged her in the back corner. He pressed his hands above her head and towered over her, only the swell of her belly keeping them apart.
“I heard you needed more, kitten?”
“Oh.” She blushed deeply, averting her eyes. “Yes, Sir.”
“Why didn’t you talk to me?”
Julia reached up and fondled the buttons to his navy shirt and focused on the woven S-pattern. “Because I am not the greatest communicator, and I’m still learning.”
“Fair enough.” He touched her cheek gently and she leaned into his touch.
“I know now I can come to you.”
“I didn’t mean to neglect your needs. However I can’t fulfill what I don’t know. I strive to be a good dominant, but I’ll never be a mindreader.”
“Yes, Sir. I understand.”
“Good girl.”
He laced his fingers with hers and headed down to their usual spot in the upper play pit. Julia ignored the inquisitive looks from other women as they passed, her focus on getting into the booth and off her feet.
“Hey! Finally!” Lexi cheered.
“My big ass made it.” Julia was mostly teasing.
Graham’s hand met the curve of her ass sharply. “Hey!”
“We don’t talk like that, remember? Or do I call our niece and put you on the grill this time?”
“He got you there.” Melody handed Julia a bottle of water. “Someone is on a tirade today.”
