Condom-free sex He’d never had it

He’d never had sex with a pregnant woman before, either But with his baby inside herthat part see sex when he knew there was no chance of building a relationship—he’d done it before But not for many years Not since before Tricia

Auard—a different one from the previous time he’d visited her—and an elevator door opened the second he pushed the button It took him up to her floor, the foyer of which ell lit Someon

e had put a potted silk tree in the corner by the elevator Not quite a backyard full of the real thing, but a nice touch

Feeling a little e of dinner, he knocked Flowers, soift, would have beensex, but this wasn’t a date Not in a traditional sense It was more anappointment

He’d left on the dark pants he’d worn to work, changed his shirt and tie for an off-white pullover He was sure she’d have on her leggings and oversized T-shirt Other than the first time they’d met, that was all he’d ever seen her in It was all very practical

He knocked a second tiot hard the moment she opened the door

If it had not been for those gold-green eyes, he hardly recognized her Her hair was doaving past her shoulders, over breasts that were perfectly emphasized in a black-and-white dress stopped at the top of her thighs The fabric had to be at least partially spandex, the way it hugged every curve of her body Every curve Including that baby bump

Even it was a turn-on—that proof that his seed was growing inside her

And she earing makeup

“Wow” He didn’t mean to speak aloud, but didn’t stop himself in time

Her grinhi shy or hesitant about her and he handed her the bag of food, then before she could dispose of it, took her in his ar her like he was going to take her to bed right then Full-on, tongue-engaged, body-pressing kisses

He started to lose his thoughts when she pressed her body just as hard against his, her tongue engaging as eagerly His hands couldn’t stay still, running up and down her back, over her waist, learning the feel of her, finding that butt and holding on as he ainst her

Her hand found his on her butt, covering it, holding hiers curled around his A splash of cold dimmed his inferno as her body left his and she led him across the floor, around a corner, down a hall wider than his kitchen and through double French doors into a suite that felt luxurious, but all he really noticed was the queen-size bed
