I stalk toward her, needing her to realize that she’s mine and I’m not backing down. The second I’m within arm’s length of her, I pull her toward me, her bump presses against my chest, and I look down at her. “You’re mine, Kelly, I should have known from the get-go that this was how it was meant to be, but I was an ass—”
“You were married to my mom.”
This is something that’s always going to be between us. Nothing can change what’s happened in the past. All that we can do is move forward with us and our future.
“I was, but we both know had we given into our impulses, Kelly, you’d have been on your back with my cock thrusting so far into you, you’d taste me.”
Her breathing deepens at my words. “Grant,” she whispers. “I don’t have much trust in anything anymore, and I’m not sure a relationship is what I want.”
“What we’ll have is more than just a relationship, Kelly, it’s a hell of a lot more than that already.”
She places her hands on her protruding bump. “Why, because of the baby?”
“No,” I vow. “I knew the moment you sat down opposite me last night that I wasn’t pushing you away any longer. I’m all fucking in Kelly, and it’s because of you, not the baby.” I slant my mouth over hers and kiss her. It’s hard, fast, and consuming. When I pull back, she’s clinging to me, her eyes begging for more and her lips swollen. “Shower, baby girl, then I’m taking you for lunch. It’s all part of that wooing that you requested,” I say with a wink and walk out of her bedroom.
I need a breather, otherwise I’ll drag her back to the bed and show her just who I want. The baby was, and is, a happy surprise, but it’s all Kelly that I want and have wanted from the moment I laid eyes on her. It was wrong to be lusting after my wife’s daughter, but I couldn’t stop it.
I look back at her room, and I’m proud of what she’s done, and I completely agree with what she said last night. This is the perfect place to raise our baby. Kelly has made it a home, a place that’s filled with love, something that my house with Helen never had—something I hadn’t realized until just now—not only is this house a home, there’s enough land for the house to be expanded.
I stop outside of a room that has a pale-yellow door. I push it open, and my heart stutters when I take a look inside. It’s the baby’s nursery, it’s painted a neutral cream color, and there’s an animal mural that’s painted on the walls. There’s no furniture or anything, this is what she had planned on getting in the next few weeks.
I hear the shower turn on and know that I have time to answer a few emails and work stuff before I finish for the day.

“Oh God, I’m so full,” she says on a moan.
My cock is pressed hard against my slacks. She’s been moaning throughout the entire lunch while she eats, and I’m about ready to pull her into the bathroom and fuck her senseless. God, the woman pushes me to the edge, and she has no idea that she’s doing it.
I release a short cough, clearing my throat. “I’m glad that you enjoyed it.”
She gives me a blinding smile. “I did, thank you. You really didn’t have to do this.”
I flag the server down. “Trust me, baby girl, this was a pleasure, and the day’s not finished yet.”
A furrow appears between her brows. “What do you mean?”
“We’re going shopping,” I tell her as the server places the check down in front of me. I don’t even glance at it and hand her my credit card. “We’re going to pick out the nursery furniture set.”
Her eyes widen. “We are?”
“Yeah, you don’t need to be worrying about when you’re going to get around to doing it, and when it arrives, Lucas and I will set it all up,” I assure her.
My brother is happy that he’s going to be an uncle, just as I am with him. He and Cassie are deliriously happy. There must be something with both Lucas and I, as we’ve both fallen for our step daughters. Neither of us set out to do that, but I can no longer deny what I feel toward Kelly.
“You told your brother?” she squeaks, her eyes wide and her face pale.
“Of course,” I reply as the server returns to us with my credit card. I get to my feet and help Kelly to hers. “Lucas and I are closer than brothers.” He’s my confidant and the person I trust most.
I take her hand once we’re out of the restaurant, and I’m surprised that she doesn’t try and pull away. I know that she’s working through a hell of a lot of pain with her mom and her ex, not to mention the hurt I laid on her when I fucked her and then left. It’s going to take some time for us to build the trust to where we need it to be, but thankfully, she’s not holding a grudge.
“How is Lucas?” she asks, having met him a few times.
“He’s good, he and Cassie are expecting,” I tell her something that I have only just recently found out. It appears Valentine’s Day was a day of revelations for both Lucas and me.
She pulls me to a stop. “Cassie?” A furrow appears between her brows. “What happened to Beth?”
I smirk. “My brother and I have a lot in common,” I tell her. “Cassie is Beth’s daughter.”
