Second Chance Rival

“Why do you think I’m doing it?”

“You’re insatiable.”

“Insatiably in love with you.”

“Tris—”

I yanked up her dress and slid her panties down, shutting her right up.

“Oh, you like that, huh?”

She moaned. “You’re cheating. I’m pregnant and horny all the time.”

“No shit. I’m a lucky bastard.”

She rocked her hips against my hand when all of a sudden, we heard, “Jesus! Can you guys stop mauling each other for five minutes?” Paige exclaimed, immediately turning her back.

I didn’t hesitate in replying, “Well, I was about to make her see God.”

—Belle—

I instantly stepped away from him and smoothed my hand over my dress. “Paige! I’m so sorry! I tried to warn him, but he wasn’t having it.”

“The number of times I’ve walked in on you guys should be illegal.”

Our families couldn’t be happier that we were already pregnant. His grandfather said the Hawkins always do things right the first time. They were planning our baby’s future, but I was enjoying the delight they felt from us making a baby together.

I was counting down the days until he or she would finally be here. They would be so loved. I couldn’t wait to decorate the nursery and buy all the things. Tristian was actually more involved than I thought he would be. For a big, tough man, our baby had the power to bring him to his knees.

Life was good.

Great.

I don’t think I’d ever been happier than I was now.

The future looked amazing, and I was grateful we had a second chance to make our love prevail.

“I’m going to get a drink.” Tristian kissed my cheek and then licked his fingers that had just been in my panties before he left the kitchen.

This man…

“You guys need more self-control.” Paige walked over to me. “You act like teenagers.”

“One day when you’re in love, I’m going to remind you of what you just said.”

“Yeah, I don’t have time to fall in love.”

“You need to make time.”

She shook her head.

“Come to think of it, you haven’t had a boyfriend in like two years.”

“And look how well that turned out.”

“You just need to find the right man.”

As if on cue, Tristian walked in with Adrian Drake by his side.

“Paige, I’d like to introduce you to—”

The expression on her face was enough to render me speechless. I never expected her to say…

“What the fuck are you doing here?”

The end.
