Page 48 of Surprise Baby for Mr. Fischer
“What would you say to picking out something from my garage?” He gestured to the window that looked over the backyard and the garage. “I’m sure there’s something in there you can use, and if you want, I can help you film and edit it.”
“Are you serious?” I blinked a few times. His tone rang with sincerity.
“I wouldn’t offer otherwise.” He leaned in and brushed his lips against mine.
Mm.His kisses were addictive. I made myself focus on our conversation. “That would be amazing. I’m still figuring out how to edit properly and having someone help would be huge.” I slid my arms around his waist and hugged him tight. “You do know how to edit videos, right?”
A loud slap filled the room, and the following sting had me leaning back and rubbing my butt cheek. “What was that for?”
“You doubted my editing ability.” He smirked.
Still rubbing my ass, I raised an eyebrow. “Maybe.” After I’d gotten over the shock of the slap, I was surprised I kind of liked it. I wondered if it was something I’d enjoy while we were intimate.
Lincoln’s eyes darkened, as he correctly interpreted my interest. His hand gently caressed my ass, soothing the sting from moments before. “Maybe if you’re good, we can try that out later.”
Heat crept up my cheeks and spread across my chest. I wasn’t used to asking for what I wanted in the bedroom, and even though it was difficult, I wanted to try with Lincoln. “I’ll be very good.”
His lips found mine, and I melted. Wanting to increase the pressure of his exploration, I tilted my head to give him better access. There was no other place I'd rather be right now. Standing there kissing him felt right. So right that it scared me. It hurt when he left last time. And I just knew there was no possible way he’d stay this time either, right? I needed to keep our relationship strictly physical so when he eventually left it wouldn’t destroy me. It was the only way to protect myself.
Forcing my doubts away, my arms crept up around his neck, as my fingers sliding through his silky hair to tug his head closer, deepening our kiss. I couldn't get close enough to him. Lincoln thrust his tongue into my mouth while his arm wrapped around the small of my back, pulling me tighter to him. He laid feather-light kisses along my jaw before stopping. His fingers gripping my hips flexed while he released a controlled breath.
“We need to stop. Or I won’t be helping you with anything except taking your clothes off.”
“You’re right. We should stop.” I pouted. Damn pregnancy hormones were making me indecisive. That’s all.
“Do you want to take a shower?” he asked.
“That would be great. But my clothes.” I looked at my pants on the floor.
“I can throw your clothes from yesterday in the wash if you don’t mind wearing them again. You can wear a shirt and a pair of my sweatpants until they’re done.”
I nodded.
“And while it’s washing and drying, we can dig through my garage to find you some gold for this episode.”
“You’ll help?” He was perfect. Almost too perfect. What could he possibly want with me? Surely, he knew that even with the baby a relationship between us would never work. We were from two different worlds, and we both knew it.
“I’ll be your assistant today. I’d love to get a chance to see what you do.” He grabbed sweatpants, a long-sleeved T-shirt, and a pair of boxers and socks out of his drawers. They would all be way too big, but secretly, I couldn’t wait to wear something of his.
I took off the clothes I was wearing and tossed them into the laundry basket. “You’re pretty great, you know that?”
His cheeks turned a very faint shade of pink. “I’m not doing anything special.”
“You’re placing something important to me as a priority, and you’re helping me get it done. And you didn’t laugh when I told you I had a vlog where I sing to people.”
He shrugged. “Who am I to judge?”
I leaned in and kissed his cheek. His stomach chose that moment to growl. “While you get that started, how about I make us breakfast?”
“That sounds perfect.” He hefted up the basket and left the room.
As I watched him go, I wondered if I was in too deep already.
