“Oh my God,” I moaned. “Harder, Kristoff...”
His mouth close to my ear, his silky command undid me. “Come with me, beautiful.”
A wave of pleasure hit me hard, running through my body. His name on my lips, I held on as a wave of sensation was shaking through me. I shivered and moaned under his strong body, as he shuddered above me. He groaned in my ear and gently kissed my mouth. His arms were wrapped around me, holding me close.
While he held me, only our heavy breathing broke the silence. I felt happy, feelings of hope flowering inside me and pushed all my thoughts away. He rolled onto his back and pulled me over, holding me close, tucking me gently to his side. As our breathing slowly came back to normal, I drifted off to sleep enjoying his warm body next to me. I snuggled closer to him, feeling content for the first time in weeks and fell asleep.
Chapter Twenty-Five
Bright light streaming through a window woke me, and I slowly opened my eyes, blinded by it. I hadn’t felt this relaxed and good in weeks, and I smiled to myself. I went to move and felt strong arms wrapped around me. I remembered last night.
No wonder I feel good. I slept with Kristoff.
I turn to see Kristoff’s handsome face. My heart swelled with emotions for this man. He was sleeping peacefully, his dark hair a mess. There was no hope of ever getting over him, my body nor my mind was ever going to want anyone else. I thought back to last night and his words and couldn’t help but smile.
I looked around and noticed we ended up in my bedroom. I slowly moved out of his arms, ensuring I didn't wake him. I got up and tiptoed around the room grabbing my clothes out of the closet, as quietly as I could, and went into the bathroom to pee. As I shut the bathroom door behind me, I exhaled and leaned against it. It was unusual that I was awake before him. I quickly put on my clothes, washed my face, and brushed my teeth
I used the toilet and wiped myself when I noticed blood and I froze. “No, no, no,” I kept muttering. “God, please no.”
“Gemma?” Kristoff must have been right in front of my bathroom door. “What’s wrong?”
I knew what this meant. I quickly flushed the toilet. “Gemma?” he called again.
“Come in,” my voice was shaky. He didn’t even wait for me to finish the word and he was already by my side.
“What’s wrong?” he asked in the worried voice.
I felt like I could start crying any minute. “Don’t panic ok,” I sniffled. “I’m bleeding, just a little bit.” He stared at me numb. “It could be nothing, but I should probably find a doctor.”
“Sophie is a doctor, OB/GYN,” he claimed and I wondered why he’s so calm. “She’ll take care of you. That is the reason I brought her with me.”
“Ok,” I muttered. He lifted me effortlessly into his arms and laid me onto the bed.
“Don’t get up,” he ordered. “I’ll go get her. All will be ok. We are having those babies.”
A tear trickled down my cheek. “Ok.” But panic started to rise inside me.
He wrapped me into his arms. “Don’t cry. She’ll take care of everything.”
And he quickly left, coming back moments later with Sophie who was still in her pjs. She had her doctor’s bag with her. And Rick was behind her!
“Hi there,” I tried to greet them all cheerfully, but my nose was stuffy already from trying to hold back tears.
“What happened?” he asked, glancing worriedly between Kristoff and me.
Sophie gave him a deadly stare and turned to me.
“No reason to panic,” she told me with a smile. “Sometimes slight bleeding happens after intercourse.”
I swore I was on fire. I put both my hands on my face embarrassed.
“You told her?” I asked Kristoff in shock. He just shrugged his shoulder and came to sit next to me. Rick stared at all of us confused.
“You slept with him again?” he asked.
“Rick!” I stopped him. “You have to leave.”
“No need to panic,” Sophie added matter of fact. “After all, that’s how you got pregnant.”
