“Oh my gosh! I gotta pee! Hurry!”
“It has begun,” Jaxon deadpans, his shoulders shaking as he laughs and unlocks the door. I shoulder past and run for the bathroom.
Minutes later, I’m walking into the bedroom, unbuckling my pants and looking for jammies.
“Much better?”
“Much. So I can expect that a lot more now?”
“Yup.”
“What if I piss myself.”
“You wouldn’t be the first.” His eyes glitter with mischief as I let out a strangled ‘ugh’ of frustration. Jaxon pulls me into his arms. “I can’t wait to see you all round with my baby.” His lips press softly to the side of my neck, and he breathes me in like he’s memorizing my scent.
“What if I change so much you aren’t attracted to me anymore?”
“I am not a shallow man. I’m in love with your heart, with you, not just how you look to me. Those are just the perks.”
I press at his chest playfully. “Yeah, but what if I don’t look and feel like me after the baby’s here?”
“You grew my child in this body. I will love it no matter what it goes through and after.”
“Can I get that in writing?”
“Memo style? High school, love note style? Your wish is my command.”
“Only if you sign it, Dr. Sexy.”
“Hmmm,I think you need a checkup.”
“I go back in a few weeks–”
“No, you need an exam right now.”
“Oh,Oh–Dr. Reyes… I have something I need you to look at.”
“You have my attention. How long has this been going on?”
I walk toward the bed, fluttering my most innocent eyes at him as I slip off my shorts and kick them away with my feet.
“Oh, it’s an ache that seems to come and go. I’ll need to show you the area so you can see if anything is out of the ordinary.”
A low sound rumbles from the back of his throat, telling me he likes this game.
“I’ll give you a thorough examination. No worries. Is there anything you’ve done thatrelievesthis…ache?”
I blush. “I don’t know if that’s relevant to my examination, doctor.”
A throaty chuckle leaves him as he pulls my legs apart, designing a plan for all his desires as he pulls off his shirt.
“Show me.”
