  “Thank God I’m not.” Sophia punches him in the stomach. “Ooof, thanks, pretty girl.”

  “That’s what you get!” Sophia looks at her watch and then at me. “Can we go out to dinner? I’m so hungry!”

  I look at Connor, waiting for him to respond. I’m actually getting hungry, too. “Alright, let’s go to Giovennti’s.”

  Dinner goes by well. It’s nice to see Sophia and Adam and spend time with them. Connor and Adam talk about Optimax while Sophia and I talk about what’s going on with our lives. His hand never leaves my thigh, and I love how his touch makes me feel safe and warm. I look over at him and see something familiar in his eyes. I know he wants me, and I want him so bad. I slowly lick my lips, seducing him with my expressions. He closes his eyes and squeezes my thigh. I feel the moisture between my legs but look away from him and continue my conversation with Sophia.

  “You’re lucky we aren’t at home right now, my sweet Erin,” he leans in, whispering in my ear.

  I turn my head toward him and bite his lower lip. “Game on, sir.” I smile and turn back to Sophia. She looks at us with awe as we finish our dinner.

  After a few hours eating and talking, we all decide to call it a night and head home. We say good night to Sophia and Adam, and I tell Sophia to text me tomorrow so we can get shopping done. The car pulls up and Connor opens the door for me. He gets in a few moments later and starts the drive back home. It’s quiet in the car, but the sexual tension is in the air. I look down and see a bulge in his jeans. My hand slides up and down his thigh.

  Connor closes his eyes and his breathing quickens. I love teasing him this way, having him wrapped around my fingers. “Connor,” I whisper, moving my hand to the bulge in his jeans. “What’s wrong, babe?”

  He doesn’t say anything but I hear the car accelerating, and I can’t help but laugh. He pulls into the driveway in less than three minutes, gets out of the car to open my door, and throws me over his shoulder. Usually, I’d be irritated by his caveman ways but I want him. I need him. Connor runs into the house and slowly brings me down from his shoulders. I wrap my legs around his waist and kiss him as if tonight was our last night together. He pushes me against the front door, pushing up my dress and exploring me with his fingers. He moves my panties to the side and without warning, pushes two fingers in me.

  “Oh, Connor,” I moan.

  “You’re so wet, baby. Is it because of me? Do I make you wet? Tell me.”

  I kiss his cheek down to his neck, nipping his ear. “Yes, babe. Always you. Just you.”

  Connor removes his fingers from me and walks us up the stairs to our bedroom, never breaking our kiss. He grabs my head and brings me in closer to deepen our kiss. Right now, in this moment, all I want is to be with the man of my dreams. My future husband and father to our baby.

  We make it to the bedroom and Connor slowly puts me down. The desire pools from his eyes and it drives me crazy. I love looking at him and seeing his boyish looks. A cocky smirk comes on his face as I rest on my elbows eyeing his growing erection. Connor grabs the bottom of my dress and slowly pulls it over my head. He admires my body, looking at my lacy black bra and thong. His eyes slowly go up and down my body, licking his lips, waiting for the perfect moment to take me. My bra and panties come off within seconds. I love how my body turns him on and how he makes me sexy and confident. The way his eyes are full of love and desire drives me wild. The sensual vibe in our bedroom is strong.

  “Baby, what are you waiting for?” I smile, slowly getting up and unbuttoning his shirt. I unbutton each one slowly, never breaking our eye contact. I pull his shirt off and grab the hem of his white tee shirt. I pull it up over his head and kiss his muscular chest. I love his body. His broad shoulders, tight chest, and incredible six pack. My hand runs over his deep v. I raise my head so our eyes connect again. I touch his face and bring him close to my face. “I love you, Connor, and I want you... Now.”

  His hands run down my back to my perky ass. He smiles and kisses me again, lifting me up in the air. “Put your legs around my neck,” he demands.

  Oh my God, what’s he thinking? I do as he says. His hands hold each side of my hips, tightly. He walks us over to the wall, and I feel the coolness of the wall on my back, still trying to figure out what he’s up to. Then all of a sudden, he buries his face into my lady parts. His fast tongue doesn’t wait as he licks and sucks my clit. I throw my head back, hitting the wall, and push his head deeper into me. “God, yes, Connor! Keep going.”

  His greedy tongue flicks my clit and he keeps his steady pace making sure to lick and suck it all over. I’m getting wetter with excitement and pleasure from his glorious mouth. He grips my hips harder, making me cry out from the pain from his hands and pleasure from his mouth. Connor abruptly stops just as I’m about to come, “Connor?” I feel myself getting irritated and frustrated, but his smile comes back on his sexy face. He walks backwards, away from the wall, and toward the bed. He slowly puts me down, removing his jeans and boxers, releasing his erection from the confines of his clothes. He towers over me, spreading my legs with his. He strokes my face with his hands. Looking into my eyes. “You’re so beautiful, do you know that?”

  “You make me feel beautiful.”

  Connor enters me, and without warning, thrusts himself into me, faster and harder. I want more. I need more.

  “Faster! Connor, keep going!”

  He pulls out and pulls me to the edge of the bed. My ass is nearly off but Connor doesn’t let me fall. He grabs my legs and kisses each one. He holds onto my ankles and rests them on his shoulders, bending my knees and spreading me wider.

  “Perfect, baby.” He enters me again and pushes into me deeper and deeper. I feel my orgasm coming. but I don’t want Connor to stop or slow down.

  “I’m...Oh my God! Connor!” he drives into me harder, hitting my sensitive spot over and over again “Oh God! Oh God! I’m…Cominnnnng.” My orgasm detonates. Waves of pleasure rock my whole body and I ride the river of ecstasy that my perfect man has bestowed upon my body. With a few more measured thrusts, Connor spills his warmness into me with his eyes closed, head thrown back, calling out my name. He slowly pulls out and lies down next to me, pulling me into his arms.

  “God, I love you so much.” He kisses my forehead and rests his chin on top of my head.

  “I love you more.” I laugh, pushing him away. I head into the bathroom and clean myself up. Connor comes in a few seconds after, kissing the top of my head. We look at each other and start laughing out of nowhere.

  Chapter Eleven

  Connor

  Another day in the office. I’m looking through some meeting notes and putting together a presentation for next week with the representatives from California. Without thinking, I check my phone and see that Erin hasn’t texted me today. I check the time. It’s nearly one in the afternoon.

  Connor: Hey, baby. I miss you. What you doing?

  I wait for a response, but nothing. It’s not like her to not answer my text messages. I start getting worried and dial Sophia’s number. Sitting and waiting for Sophia to answer is getting me anxious, and I can’t stop shaking my leg.

  “Hi, sweetie, what’s up?” I hear her eating through the phone and laugh.

  “Can you stop chewing in the phone please?” I hear her laughing back. “Have you seen or heard from Erin? She hasn’t’ texted me or anything.”

  “Ummm, she ah...”

  “Sophia?”

  “She’s with Vander now. They’re looking at houses, and he, um, is taking her out to lunch.”

  I get up from my chair and start pacing my office. I hate that Erin is working anyway, and with Vander. I have nothing against the guy but there’s something about him that makes me uncomfortable to have him alone with my fiancée again! I hold my phone tighter to my ear and try to remain calm. “You didn’t want to go?”

  “Ummm, no. Vander said they were going to be on the go most of the day and didn’t want me to be bored with all th
e talk about house hunting, so I decided to stay behind.”

  “Yeah, I know,” I respond, rubbing my eyes. “Alright, I’ll call her. Thanks, Soph.”

  “No problem. Bye, Connor!”

  “Bye, Soph.” Before I call Erin, my phone vibrates and it’s a text message from Erin.

  Erin: Sorry babe. Today’s been crazy busy. I’m at lunch with Vander now and we have a few more houses to look at. Probably going to be a long night.

  Me: How are you feeling? Is it okay for you to be doing so much? You’ve been at it since this morning. I want you to go home soon and rest. This stress isn’t good for you, baby.

  Erin: Babe, I’m fine. Plus I have Vander here with me IF anything happens, but so far, so good! No sickness today!

  Me: All right, but I don’t like you working this hard. I don’t care if you’re at your desk, but all this walking can’t be good for you.

  Erin: Connor, I’m fine! Seriously.

  Me: I don’t think you understand how important it is for you to stop working if you’re not feeling good. I understand that you want to help out Vander, and I know you’re a hard worker, but please put the baby first.

  Erin: Shut the hell up, okay?! I am putting OUR baby first. I’m freaking fine! Seriously stop, okay?!

  Me: Fine but if you need anything let me know. I love you, baby.

  She doesn’t text me back, and I know she’s upset with me. I’m trying really hard not to lose it and biting my tongue, but I know how she is and she needs to rest. Even though she let me know she’s okay, something still isn’t sitting right with me. I never want to control Erin or tell her who to be friends with, but Vander is something else. The way he looks at her and cares for her. I know those looks. I give her those looks. I walk out of my office to Adam’s and take a seat on his sofa.

  Adam looks up from reading a report on his desk. “Hey, what’s going on?”

  I rub the back of my neck. “Why can’t this guy get some other friends?”

  Adam leans back in his chair, thinking about what to say. “Vander, again?”

  “Well, what the hell do you want me to think?”

  “I don’t know, man. You have to stop letting this crap get to you. Trust Erin and know she’s not doing anything wrong. Come on, you two are getting married and having a baby.”

  “Yeah, but why does he feel he needs to always come around and be near her?”

  Adam stops typing and turns his chair to look at me again. “Yeah, I know what you mean.”

  I extent my arm out toward him. “So you see it to? I’m not crazy! He’s been spending time with Erin with this house shit. How hard is it to find a house?”

  “Yeah, man, I know what you mean, but what are you going to do? Don’t sweat the small shit. You and Erin are getting married with a baby on the way.”

  “Alright, alright.” I look at my watch. “Shit, we got the prep meeting.”

  “Fuck, alright, let’s go.”

  ***

  I pull up the driveway and check the time. It’s almost midnight and I’m exhausted. The prep for the California deal is getting to us all. I never realized how ten men in one room could cause drama and crap. If it weren’t for Sophia coming to the office and telling us all to go home, we’d still be in the meeting. I get out of the car and look to see Vander’s black Nissan GTR by the mailbox. My jaw clenches. “What the fuck is he still doing here?”

  I run into the house and notice the candles and dim light coming from the living room. What the hell is this shit? Why does it look like a fucking romantic love scene?

  They’re sitting on the couch watching a movie and her head is on his lap. His arm is resting on her side, their eyes are on the TV, and they don’t hear me. I turn on the kitchen lights and both of them look at me. Anger surges through me and I see red. I want to take his face and slam it against the wall. My inner dark side wants to come out and beat the shit out of him. I try to calm down because I don’t want to upset Erin, but this guy needs to stop staying over late at night.

  “Connor!” Erin gets up and jumps in my arms. She wraps her arms around my waist and holds me tight. “I’m sorry for today,” she whispers, kissing me on the cheek. “I was going to come by and surprise you in the office, but Aly said you were in a meeting and not to come bother you because you were all in a pissing match.”

  I hold her tighter and bury my lips on the crook of her neck. The smell her hair hits my nose. She smells like strawberries and lavender. This is what I need. I need Erin and to feel her love. I need her to know how much she means to me and that I want the best for her. I love feeling her body close to mine. It’s so Erin. “Baby, you can always come see me. I’m sorry I’m late.” I look up and see Vander staring at us. I raise up my hand to say hi. “What’s up Vander?”

  He holds his stare for a few moments before getting up. “Hey, Connor.” He walks toward us. “Sorry that I’m always over. Erin hates being alone and Sophia wasn’t answering our messages, so I figured she was sleeping or something.”

  I eye him as he’s talking and make note to check with Sophia and ask her why she didn’t answer their text messages. “No worries. Heading out?” Erin stands by my side, still holding onto me.

  “Yeah, long day tomorrow. Erin, email me those houses, and I’ll take a look.”

  “Sure thing. Thanks again, Vander.”

  “No problem.”

  I kiss Erin on the side of her head. “I’m going to walk him out. I’ll be back.”

  “Okay!” Erin leaves my side and goes back to the living room.

  Vander and I walk down the hall, and I open the door for him. We step out on the porch and I close the door. “Vander, man, I appreciate everything you’re doing, but it’s weird having you with my fiancée late at night.” Vander looks at me, smirking. “You got to stop with this shit, man. She’s my girl, and I don’t want anything to happen, do you understand?”

  Vander lifts up his hands and backs away, shaking his head. “Nah, you got it wrong,” he laughs. “Connor, I’m gay so you don’t have to worry.”

  We both start laughing. Damn, I feel like an asshole. You’re kidding me! All these months of being worried and mad, he likes dicks. “Oh shit. I’m sorry.” I laugh again. “Well, really, thanks for helping her out. I’m glad I don’t have to worry.”

  He slaps me on the shoulder and smirks. “No problem. I’ll see you around.”

  “Sounds good. Drive safe.”

  He gives me a nod and walks away. I go back inside and see Erin walking up the stairs. I run up and pull her up in my arms. “I missed you, baby.” Hearing her laughing in my ear is like magic. I love seeing her happy, and I hate myself for feeling insecure and jealous. We get to the bedroom, and I put her on our bed. I lie down next to her, stroking her cheek. “So, Vander’s gay?”

  She pokes my chest. “I knew you were getting jealous!” She throws her head back on the bed, laughing. “Yep, he sure is gay! He’s been seeing Curtis, and they’re doing really well!”

  I get on top of Erin, kissing her cheeks and lips while tickling her. She laughs so hard that she starts snorting. We both laugh, and we kiss again. She’s amazing and sexy. “Thanks for understanding and not yelling at me. I know we haven’t been spending a lot of time together.”

  “It’s okay. But can we cuddle tonight?”

  “Of course, baby.” I get up, taking off my clothes and leaving my boxers on. Erin gets comfortable in bed, and I crawl in under the covers. I pull her closer to me, and she rests her head on my chest. I twirl strands of her hair between my fingers. It’s quiet but nice. I feel her heart beating steadily against my chest. “Where’s your head at?”

  She lets out a sigh and trails her fingers up and down my chest. “I’m just really happy.”

  “Tell me something I don’t know.”

  “I’m scared something’s going to happen and break us up.”

  I don’t know what to say. I can’t believe she feels this way. Doesn’t she know how crazy I am a
bout her? “Baby, stop. Don’t think like that. You’re my life. Did you know you saved me?”

  She holds me tighter. “How?”

  “You took me out of my shell and opened my eyes, Erin. You’re so carefree and full of life. All I wanted to do was succeed and to run Optimax. I was feeling the pressure of doing well, but then you came into my life and made me realize how important it is to have fun. Do you remember when we went to New York City to see your parents? You forced me to go up to the Statue of Liberty, and even though I’m scared of heights, you didn’t make fun of me. You held my hand and never left my side. You push me, baby, and no one will ever tear us apart.” And that’s the truth. I’m not leaving her, and no one will get in the way. She’s mine. I place my hand on her stomach.

  Mine. Always.

  I hear her breathing quicken and tears on my chest. “Oh, Connor. I just love you so much. You’re my first serious relationship and it scares me, because I’ve never loved anyone before. You’re my first love, and I want you to be my only love.”

  I kiss her again on her head. “I’m not going anywhere. Come on, let’s go to sleep.”

  Erin’s hands trail down my chest and down into my boxers. She nibbles on my ear and quietly moans. “I’m suddenly not tired anymore.”

  “What do you want to do?”

  Without saying anything, Erin disappears under the covers and pulls down my boxers. She puts my hard cock in her mouth and sucks hard. “Oh, shit.” I close my eyes and feel her tongue licking and sucking me. Damn, she’s fucking amazing. Erin plays with my balls and I feel myself tighten. I feel the back of her throat and feel myself about to come. “Oh, baby. Yeah, that’s it. Go faster. Put it all the way in your mouth. Fuck!”

  I let out my release and Erin takes it all in. I pull her back up and kiss her, forcing my tongue into her mouth. She moans into my mouth and grips my back. My hand finds her wetness and I pull her shorts down. “That’s my girl. Always wet and ready, huh?”

  “Yes, Connor. Always.”

  My fingers explore her as my mouth sucks on her hard nipples. I love the sounds she’s making and feeling her squirm underneath me. Suddenly, she flips me on my back and straddles me. Holy shit, this is hot. Erin plays with my dick while touching herself. I’m instantly hard again. “Fuck, baby.”
