Neither of them said a word, and she just looked at the stick, then at him.
She didn’t come any closer, and he stared at her.
“How did you know?”
“You think I’d let you leave my house unprotected?” he asked.
“I didn’t know.” She stared at the stick. “Someone saw me buying the test?”
“Yes, and I found this in your bathroom.”
She nodded. “I guess it makes sense you finding it. I didn’t know how to tell you, and a text message didn’t seem right.” She frowned.
He put the test down and began to remove his clothes. The chill bit through his body, but he didn’t care. Climbing into the pool was a welcome reprieve as it heated his bones. She stayed still as he advanced toward her.
Standing directly behind her, he placed a hand on her stomach. His baby, their child lay there.
His cock thickened at the thought of her being heavily pregnant with his baby. He couldn’t wait to watch her grow, flourish. The mother of his child.
“We’re going to get married,” he said.
“No.”
“You’re saying no to me.”
“I don’t want to get married. I don’t want this to change anything.”
He pulled her close to him so that she felt the length of his cock pressing against her ass. “No matter how much you don’t want this to change anything, it does. This changes everything, baby. Don’t you get that?” He kissed her neck, sucking on the pulse beating beneath.
She gasped, melting against him.
Tell her.
He’d never told any woman how he felt, and he wasn’t sure he was ready to let her have that kind of power over him.
“I love you, Hope.”
She pulled away from him, spinning around to face him. “No. Don’t say that. Don’t say something you don’t actually mean. I don’t want you to say things you don’t mean.”
Capturing her face, he slammed his lips down on hers, silencing any protest she had. He didn’t want to hear her say shit like that.
Wrapping her wet hair around his fist, he broke the kiss, and glared at her. “Do you really think that I would say shit I don’t mean?”
“I—”
“I’ve never told another woman that I love her. I’ve never given another woman a fucking chance with me. I never loved anyone, don’t you get that? Then you, Hope. I see your nice juicy ass, and you turn to look at me, and I’m fucking lost. I want to see your eyes on me at all times. I crave it, and no woman has ever made me make a fucking fool of myself, and yet here I stand with you. I love you, Hope. You can believe me or not, but you will never tell me what I can and cannot feel. I love you. I’ve loved you even before you told me about the fucking baby. I never knew how to tell you. You’re eighteen. You’re planning a life far away from me, and you think I want to be the lost little puppy?” Tears were in her eyes, and he hated that he’d been the one to put them there. “I’m not a good man.” He stopped. For the first time he felt his own feelings breaking free, rising out of him, demanding a voice, and he couldn’t stop them. “I’ve killed people, and not even thought about it the rest of the day. I’m not a good man, and I know you deserve a hell of a lot better than me, but I can’t give you up. I can do everything else, but I can’t give you up. I won’t.”
He pressed his face to hers. Both of them were panting, and he closed his eyes, stroking the skin at her back near her ass.
Slowly, she wrapped her arms around his neck, and her body pressed against his. The suit she wore covered up everything. “I love you, too. It scares me.”
Taking the straps of her suit, he pulled them down her arms, watching as her tits sprang free.
“You’re mine, Hope. You’ve been mine for a long fucking time, and I’m not going to let you go. Not now, not ever.” He spun her around, placing her hands on the edge of the pool. The sides of the pool were high enough that he didn’t have to worry about anyone seeing her.
Her body belonged to him, and he didn’t want anyone to see how precious she was with her big tits, rounded stomach, and juicy thighs. Not to mention her ass. He fucking loved her ass, and how good it felt nestled against his cock.
“Now, we’re going to get married, and you can still go to college, but it’s going to have to be closer to home so that I can make love to you, and show you just how much I love you. I’m not going to give you up, Hope. Not now, not ever. I don’t want to.” He ran his hand down the front of her body, finding her pussy. Sliding a finger inside her, he discovered how wet she was.
