She reached for the bears and balloons Gavin had bought earlier and the child’s face lit up. It was strange seeing her in this new light, as a mother. It was going to take some getting used to.
I didn’t expect her to be a virgin, but knowing that she’d once been that close to someone else made me feel off.
In the world I move in, women switch bed partners as often as their underwear, so why did it bother me so much that this one had had a life before me?
As I watched her taking so much care of another man’s child I knew what I had to do. Get one of my own in her as soon as fucking possible.
That’s the only way I can think of to tame this beast that had been awakened in me. There was envy, anger, jealousy, all dark emotions running riot in my heart.
I didn’t like the feelings but I didn’t know how else to rid myself of them. And the only thing that came to mind was to breed her the first chance I get.
She had no idea as she read her child a story that I was plotting her future in my head. It was suddenly the most important thing in the world for me to get her with child, my child.
I sat in quiet contemplation as I watched her rock the child to sleep. She looked good doing it, like she was born to be a mother and I wondered what else she was good at.
Her talents as an architect were obvious, and now seeing her here in this domesticated scene, my mind was running away with itself.
What was she like in bed? Was she passive or will that fire she tries so hard to keep in check be unleashed once I get between her thighs?
She pulled the covers up around the child and sat for a minute watching her, bringing me back to the present.
“What’s her name?” I looked at the little head on the pillow.
“Amber.” She smoothed the sheet over the child lovingly.
“Amber Gritti?”
“Yes!”
“Is that her father’s name?”
“Yes, he named her before she was born.” I gritted my teeth and looked away from her. She still carried his name. Just how deeply in love was she with this guy?
And why the fuck are you this jealous of a dead man? How the fuck should I know? It was obvious that I’d lost my damn mind and was suffering some kind of meltdown.
“I’ll be right back.” I left the room and went for a walk and some fresh air to clear my head. What a hell of a day. I realized I was this out of sorts because I’d been side swiped by all this.
I had no idea that she’d had this whole other life before she came to me and now my mind was filled with all the dark spaces that were left open.
What else was I going to find when I go searching later? Is there someone else in her life now? There better fucking not be.
No matter, if there is I’ll just have to set her straight. No one else is going to have her but me. I stormed back into the building intent on telling her ass just that but got waylaid by the doctor.
“Dr. Spencer will be here tomorrow afternoon at the latest. We didn’t think it was a good idea to move the child right now so it’s best that he comes here.”
“Very well, make sure I get the bill.” I gave him one of my cards. “Did you tell her mother already?”
“No, I was just on my way to give her the news now.”
“No need, I’ll tell her myself. Is there anything else we should be doing right now to make her comfortable?”
“No, we’re doing all that we can. The most important thing is to keep her calm and let her little body rest. I have no doubt that with Dr. Spencer’s help and expertise she’ll be good as new in no time.”
“Okay thanks.” I headed to the elevator and back up to the room to give her the good news. I stopped just outside the door looking at in at her through the glass.
She looked so worried and so damn alone. My family wasn’t huge but at least we had each other. I made a silent promise to be there for her from now on. I never want to see her looking like this again.
She looked up when I walked in and I took no time in telling her the good news. The look on her face made some of the darkness fade.
“I don’t know how to thank you. I can never repay you.”
“I didn’t ask you to. No one should have to watch their child suffer because they don’t have enough money to pay for their care.”
