“Tell me.” I kiss her neck.
“I can’t think when you do that.” She tilts her head to the side. I lift my head to meet her gaze.
I carry her over to the sofa, sitting down with her in my lap. I tuck a piece of her hair behind her ear.
“You can tell me anything, Willow. You’re going to be my wife. No secrets. We stick with each other.” She nods in agreement. “Is this about the bullshit text you sent me?”
“Tiffany is trying to blackmail me.” My grip on her hips tightens. “She has pictures of us.”
“It really doesn't matter at this point. Everyone knows.”
“I still can’t believe you did that.” Her face lights up with a smile.
“I want everyone to know you’re mine and I don’t share.” She lets out a small laugh.
“She tried to get money from me too.”
I close my eyes, hating that she has to deal with this bullshit. “That woman needs help.”
“There is more I need to tell you.” She licks her lips. My cock jerks under her. The heat of her pussy is pressed against it. “I’m pregnant,” she blurts out. I kiss her.
“How did I get so lucky?” Before she can answer, I’m kissing her again. “Wait. Have you eaten dinner? Do you need something to drink?” I lift her off my lap.
“I’m fine,” she tries to tell me. I grab the room service menu and call down an order. I make my way back to her. I drop down to my knees in front of her, my hand going to her stomach.
“How do you feel about this? What about school? What about all of the things you’ve worked so hard to accomplish on your own? Your future?” Even though I am over the moon, worry settles inside of me. The thought of her resenting me one day creeps back in.
“Hey! I’m excited. I want a family of my own. And I can still do all of those things, but my future is with you.” She places her hand over mine on her stomach.
“I never really gave too much thought to having kids. Then when you came along, it was all I could think about. I knew what I was doing each time I came inside of you.”
The pink blush blossoms on her cheeks. “We’re crazy. You don’t think we’re moving too fast?”
I bark out a laugh. “Baby, you pretty much live with me. I haven’t let you out of my bed since this started. You’re my forever. We don’t have to play by others' rules. We have our own.”
“I really do love you so much. You have no idea how much you’ve filled my heart. You make me feel wanted.”
“I promise you, you’re more than wanted.” I kiss her. I start to pull at her clothes when a knock sounds at the door. “That was fast. You eat and then I’ll eat you.”
She laughs like I’m joking.
I open the door to see Tiffany standing there. For the first time she’s not all dolled up like a Stepford wife.
“You’re abandoning your unborn child!” she screeches.
“Tiffany.” I try and keep my voice calm. “I’m not the father of your baby.”
“Is everything okay?”
I look over my shoulder to see Willow getting close. “Go sit back down. I’ve got this.” I tell her.
She lets out a loud gasp, her eyes going wide. When I look back to Tiffany, she has a gun pointed right at me.
Her hand shakes as she takes the pointed gun off me, going to Willow. I jump in front of her. Fear like I’ve never felt pumps through me. I’d die protecting Willow and our baby. I won’t let anyone hurt my family.
“This is all her fault! What’s so great about her? We could be so good together. She’s just a little girl who knows nothing about life. How could she ever make you happy?”
“Why don’t you put the gun down and we can talk this out.”
“No! If I can’t have you no one else can. She can suffer and know what it feels like to not have you.”
She lets out a scream as Reid grabs her from behind, lifting her off her feet. The gun goes off. I reach out and snag it from her.
“Willow!” I bellow as I turn to go find her. I’m not sure where the bullet hit.
“I’m okay.” She peeks her head out.
“Fuck.” I rush over to her, pulling her into me, needing reassurance she’s okay. Reid has Tiffany on the ground, not letting her go anywhere. “You sure you’re okay?” I start to check her over, finally starting to relax once I’ve looked over every inch, and I know she’s safe.
“Yes.” She rests her head on my chest. We stay like that until the cops get here. Tiffany sobs, but I can’t bring myself to feel sorry for her. She could have ruined my life. It’s unforgivable.
