He leans over me again, panting to catch his breath. We’re both breathing hard. That was definitely one of the hottest sexual experiences we’ve had together. He leans down further and kisses me before moving to whisper in my ear.
“I’m going to enjoy ruining you, baby,” he says.
He pulls out of me and walks off to the bathroom. I have no idea what the hell he means by that, but clearly it can’t be good. I guess he’s not over being mad yet. I guess I’ll just have to find a way to make him fall in love with me.
That’s the only way I can see that would keep my baby and me safe and away from my father. I guess we’ll have to have a talk later in the day because I’m tired. I don’t even have the energy to clean up, so I snuggle deeper into the bed and close my eyes. I’m barely aware of the fact that Enzo comes back into the room and cleans me up with a washcloth before getting into bed beside me, as sleep claims my tired body.
CHAPTER 18
ARIA
As soon as I wake up later in the day, I know I’m alone. Enzo has a presence you just can’t miss, and when I run my hand along the sheets behind me where he’s supposed to be sleeping, it’s empty and cold.
That means he left the bed a long time ago. I let out a sigh, thinking about all the uncertainties that still lay ahead of me. Right now, I don’t want to get out of this bed because it’s so comfortable. I feel well rested, even though I must have only gotten a few hours of sleep.
Maybe it’s because I’m here and I feel safe that I was able to let my guard down last night.
It’s more security than I’ve had in the last couple of months. The constant worry that something would happen to me, plus the need to always keep my guard up, was exhausting.
Even though some of my usual anxiety was gone last night, it still doesn’t ease all the nervousness I’m currently feeling when it comes to Enzo and what’s going to happen between us.
I mean, he did say he was going to enjoy ruining me, but who knows what that could mean. I’ll just have to play everything by ear and see where this all goes. I’ll do whatever it takes orwhatever he wants just to ensure my baby never ends up with my father.
Looking over at the clock on the bedside table, I see that it’s almost noon.Shit! I haven’t slept this late in a very long time.
Deciding I can’t lie here any longer and need to get up, I start maneuvering my way out of the bed by scooting my body until I’m close to the edge.
I push myself up and swing my legs off to the side, now in a sitting position. I stay there for a second, rubbing my belly as I feel a kick.
“Good morning to you, too, little girl,” I say to my stomach, a smile spreading on my face. Even though the simplest of tasks are getting harder every day, I love being pregnant with my little girl. I’m so excited and eager to meet her.
A moment later, I get to my feet and make sure I’m steady before I walk over to the bathroom. I brush my teeth and then head into the shower because I need to wash away all the cum Enzo left inside me last night, some of which is beginning to run down my thighs.
My cheeks heat as my mind wanders right back to the sex. Except for thepart where he wanted to ruin me, everything was perfect.
His dirty mouth hasn’t changed, and it made me so hot. That’s not unusual when it comes to him. I took everything he gave me because it was all I’ve been craving since my father sent me away, and I’ve been without him.
I turn on the shower, and a second later, the hot water cascading down my body feels heavenly. When I’m done, I dry my skin and rub some lotion onto my body, especially my protruding stomach, to ease the itching.
I feel my little nugget kick me again just as my stomach starts to grumble, and I realize I’m hungry.
“Okay, baby girl. No need to make your displeasure known. I’ll get us some food in a few minutes. Mommy just needs to get some clothes on first,” I say, talking to my belly as I rub it some more. Sometimes I still can’t believe I have a tiny human inside me. No matter what ends up happening between Enzo and me, she’s the one thing I’m never going to regret.
Once I’m done with my skincare, I walk back into the room with my towel wrapped around me and head for Enzo’s closet to see if I can grab one of his shirts to wear.
When I open the door and step inside, a gasp leaves me at the size of it. It’s a huge walk-in closet, bigger than my old one at home.
It’s divided into two sides. All of his clothes are on one side, and on the other is a bunch of female clothes. A surge of jealous anger fills me at the thought of all this belonging to someone else.
I mean, why else would he have them here? I wonder if he’s ever had another woman here with him. What if he’s seeing someone else and now, I’m just here pregnant with his baby, preventing him from living his life. Ugh! Best not to think about any of that right now, because I’ll just drive myself crazy with all those thoughts.
I walk closer to get a better look at the things in here. All of them look like they still have the tags on. There are clothes for every different occasion you can think of, along with shoes, handbags, sunglasses, perfumes… You get the idea.
I’m surprised to see that the clothes are all mostly my size—well, the size I was before I got pregnant—but that doesn’t mean anything. I’m pretty sure he’s been with other women since I’ve been gone, and this could all be theirs.
There’s a makeup table in the middle of the space and two chairs to sit on. Based on the brands, it’s all very expensive. I’m so confused by what all of this could mean.
Why did he bring me here if he has someone else? How did he find me? Did he just happen to be in that town when he saw me and decided to bring me back?Andyes, I know I should have asked some of these questions before I got sidetracked with his dick.
