He was here now and he’d been right about one thing. They couldn’t play these games when it came to Nate. She was putting off the inevitable moment when she had to decide how they would work together.
Did she want Nate growing up with two parents who couldn’t come together for anything but sex? Sex that she would attempt to pull all the emotion out of?
“Watch in the mirror.” His voice was a monotone, as if he was going through a checklist of what to do with his sub.
She stared forward as she felt the head of his cock at her pussy. “Would you have put me in a spreader bar while I was pregnant? If you’d stayed?”
He stopped, suspicion on his face. “I would have done a lot of things. I definitely would have done this for as long as I could.”
His cock breached her, the sensation different because she had that plug taking up space. She had to force herself to breathe, but it was good. It was right. When she stopped punishing him, she could feel how right it was to be here with him.
“I got so big, Brody. I was huge.”
There was the face she loved. He softened around her. He could look cruel and masculine, and yet when his eyes went soft she realized he was a big old teddy bear. With spectacular abs and the most amazing cock in the world.
“You were beautiful.” His tone changed and he held himself inside her. One hand moved up, caressing her and making her feel warm and wanted again. “I can only imagine how gorgeous you were.”
She’d been a whale, but he wouldn’t have seen that. He would have seen her differently, as he’d always seemed to see her. “Tell me why you left me.”
“Because I thought I wasn’t good for you. Because I never loved another woman the way I loved you and it scared me.”
He never lied to her. Why would he start now? She couldn’t offer him anything more than she’d offered him then, with the singular exception of their son. “I won’t ever keep you from Nate. You have to know that.”
He dragged his cock back out, his face flushing with pleasure. “I know that, but I want us to be more. You don’t have to answer me tonight, but give me a chance to show you how much more we could be. We could be a family.”
She couldn’t respond, the picture of a family with this man far too sweet. It brought tears to her eyes, but she couldn’t think for long because he was moving inside her.
Brody let himself go, pounding in her, brushing his cock over and over her sweet spot. Between his cock and the plug in her ass she was full. It was like nothing she’d ever felt before.
He pulled on her hips, going deeper, and she flew over the edge.
Gripping the sheet like a lifeline, she watched as Brody’s head dropped back and he pulsed inside her.
Her heart seemed to skip a beat as she watched him. He fell forward, his front resting on her back. He looked down at her and she wanted to be able to see herself through his eyes.
“Stephanie,” he began.
She knew what he was going to say. It was there in his eyes. I love you.
And for a second she was ready to say it back.
A loud knock disrupted the moment.
“Mr. Carter,” a masculine voice said. “I’m afraid we have a situation. I’m sorry to interrupt, but we need to get the doc to another secure location.”
Brody stood up, heading for the small bathroom. “We’ll be out in five minutes. Steph, luv, give me a second and I’ll have you out of there.”
He disappeared into the bathroom, probably to get rid of the condom.
Steph set her head down and remembered all the reasons she hadn’t wanted to think about the future.
Chapter Twelve
Brody stared at the package on the table and wished like hell that the bodyguards on duty this evening had thought to keep this discreet. They could have said anything to have gotten him out of the training room, but Steph had known something was going on.
Then again, it was really Tucker’s fault. He had Tucker to thank for accepting the package, opening the package, and freaking out about the package.
If it had been one of the bodyguards who had been given the package, they likely would have calmly called in and explained that a box had been delivered and Brody should probably come and take a look at it. If it had been Shane or Declan, the two guards who would come back with them tonight, Steph would not be staring down at that package, her face white as a sheet. He would have gotten her home and put her to bed and she could have been blissfully unaware.
