I nod with a sniffle. “Yeah, she’ll love it.”

“So I have a surprise for you.”

I’m laughing and shaking my head at the same time. “Austin, you’ve done so much already.”

He picks up the flowers on the nightstand. “Nope, this was Mark’s idea, and I think it was a good one. I told him you weren’t too happy to be in bed, so he suggested I bring home flowers and ice cream and that I lie in bed with you and watch your favorite show. Here’s the flowers. I have some mint chocolate chip ice cream in the freezer. I talked to Brandon, and he said a small serving would be fine, and we can watch whatever you want to watch.”

I tilt my head. “You called the doctor to see if I could eat ice cream?”

He acts as if it’s not a big deal. “Yeah, it wasn’t on the nutrition list, so I had to be sure.”

“And I get to pick…”

He nods. “You get to pick. It doesn’t matter to me as long as I get to lie next to you. I’ll even watch one of those romance movies you like so much.”

I hold my breath. I’m used to nights out at the Whiskey Whistler or going out with my friends. But what he just suggested sounds like the absolute perfect night to me. “I think Mark sounds like he’s pretty smart.”

Austin laughs. “He would agree with you. I figure I should listen to him since he’s been married over twenty years.”

My heart is thundering in my chest. Not just because of the ice cream and the flowers and everything else he’s done for me but because of how he makes me feel. With him, I feel loved and cared for, and it scares the hell out of me.

I want to ask him if what his brother told me is true. I’m beginning to think it’s possible. In this moment. I promise myself I’m going to see where this goes. I’m not going to make any promises or even give in to his pressure of marriage, but I am going to enjoy this… for however long it lasts.

Chapter18

Austin

Ijerk awake with a groan. I was having the most illicit dream, and now that I’m wide awake, I realize it wasn’t a dream. I open my eyes just as Ally wraps her lips around my hard cock.

My hips jerk, and I plunge deeper into her mouth. “Fuck, Ally.”

She smiles around her mouthful, and her hand wraps around the base of my girth. She takes me deeper, and that’s when I come to my senses. She’s pregnant and supposed to be resting. She’s not supposed to be on her knees, servicing me.

I grab her by the shoulders and pull her up the length of my body. I lay her on her side and curl my body around her. “Ally, baby, you’re supposed to be resting.”

She arches her back, pressing her lower body into me. Her T-shirt has ridden up, and her panties do nothing to block me. She keeps moving until my manhood is positioned between her thighs. My groan fills the room, and I back off the bed, falling to my knees on the floor. The only way I’m going to be able to stop myself is to put some distance between us. “We can’t. You know what the doctor said, and I’m not taking any chances in hurting you.”

She leans up on her elbow, and I try to look away from her body, but it’s nearly impossible. Even now with her mussed hair and oversized T-shirt, she’s the most beautiful woman I’ve ever looked at.

She sits up, grabs the hem of her shirt, and pulls it over her head. She starts to ramble. “You bought me everything I could possibly need yesterday, but you know what you didn’t get me?”

My mouth is dry, looking at her rounded breasts begging to be touched. “What?” I croak.

“Pajamas. Those were noticeably missing, and you know what I think?”

My hands go to her panty-covered hips, and I drag in a breath. “What? What do you think?”

She leans toward me. “I’m thinking you don’t want me to sleep in pajamas. I mean, you sleep in your underwear. Maybe I should sleep in mine.”

“Fuck.” I raise up on my knees and bring my hands to her cheeks. “I’m all for you sleeping naked next to me… after the doctor gives you the okay to have sex. I won’t be able to resist otherwise.”

“Austin,” she whines. I look at her with surprise, and she throws her hands up.

“What? You think I sound like a child? I know I do, but I need this… I need you.”

I move to sit up on the bed. It’s painful to move with my cock as hard as it is, but I’m not worried about myself in this moment. I’m worried about Ally.

“Our appointment is today. Let’s see what the doctor says because no matter how much I want to be inside you, I won’t do it and risk you and the baby.”
