"This is a wasted discussion I do not like talking in circles You are going to marry me and the sooner you accept that, the better it will be for everyone involved"
"You think so?"
"Yes, because you are too smart and too conscientious not to do what is best for both you and our unborn child"
"What do I get out of this?" she dee to him would be best for her
"I will sign the island villa over to you and settle money on you so you will never be without"
"You want to buy my baby?"
He came away from the counter in an explosion of movement and pulled her from her chair to face hi you I a care of you That's all Okay?"
He sounded really driven, but she couldn't work up enough moisture in her mouth to answer She'd never seen him lose his cool like this before Not even that ti to convince her to stay in Greece, had he been like this His hold wasn't hurting, but he was just vibrating with fury
He released her and stepped back "We'll talk about it later You have a doctor's appointment"
It turned out she had three doctor appoint present for all of them
The thyroid specialist explained that her thyroid was actually just beginning to go into the hyper condition and that she could take nancy at no risk to the baby The heart specialist explained that the same meds that controlled her thyroid would most likely prevent a flare-up of the atrial fibrillation And the gynecologist told her that once the beta-blockers kicked in, she could resume natural intercourse without risk to her heart or the baby

Sebastian turned so his body faced her "Really?"
An aura of danger filled the interior of the lih he hadn'tto back away from him

"Let's see, shall we?"
"What? No—" But her protest becaainst his lips
