79: You Should Tell Her
Jillie
Thanksgiving dinner was absolutely exhausting, and it was all due to my aunt Kassie. She just had they way about her. Jarren had been right, and though I didn’t condone the way he brought it up, he’d hit the nail on the head. Misery loved company and Kassie was quite miserable.
Kaileeh and I were now sitting in my living room watching a Lifetime movie. She hadn’t wanted to be around her mom and decided to stay with Jarren and me instead until they flew out Sunday morning. I was tempted to ask her what was going on between her and Garret, but Jarren had assured me that it was something they needed to work through on their own. So just like with the Rian and S

Protected 80: Golden Sweetheart
JillieI sat in the front row with Jarren and about fifteen guards surrounding us. It was the first time we’d ever had to have protection around us, other than our royal wedding. Well, it was the first time that I could actually see them. Jarren informed me that they were there every time we went out or I went out without him and other people around. It was cold in the building, and even with all of the people surrounding me, it was still freezing, probably because their body temperatures were in the fifties. Jarren took off his suit jacket and gave it to me. I nestled into it and lay my head on his shoulder. For some reason, I had thought the Golden Sweetheart Awards would be like something you see on television, and in a way, I guess it was. Everyone nominated for something sat down to a n
Protected 81: Never-ending Energy
JillieTen days. That’s what was left until Christmas. Ten days, and we were just now putting up and decorating a tree. Jarren was sitting on the couch opening the different boxes of ornaments and looked so sexy. He was dressed in a pair of dark jeans and a white tee shirt, but I was utterly turned on. Dropping thebox,I was holding onto the floor, I got up from the armchair and walked over to the couch. Taking the box out of his hands, I tossed it to the side and straddled him, which surprisingly wasn’t that hard considering I was thirty-four weeks pregnant. I didn’t give him time to ask what I was doing. I simply attacked his lips with mine. Usually, I would let him take control
Protected 82: Testing My Energy Level
JarrenJillie was seriously testing my energy level. In the last two days, I’ve made love to her more times than most newlyweds did on a weeklong honeymoon. Her sexual appetite had skyrocketed, and if I thought she was insatiable before, she was more so now. I didn’t mind; I wasn’t complaining, but I knew I would have to tell her no at some point. I would have to talk to Hollie and see when it became unsafe for the baby. Until then, I would continue to give her what she wanted. At the moment, however, I was happy she was taking a nap. With eight days left until Christmas, I still had so many things that I wanted to get her. She was making it somewhat hard, though. I spent most of my time in bed with her, and I really needed to go out and get the rest of her presents. Not to
Protected 83: I Didn't Break You
Jarren“Baby, what are you doing?” I questioned as Jillie stuck her hand into my back pocket. We’d arrived to meet Mason and Alyx just a few minutes ago and were all standing in the middle of the shopping plaza. She pulled my wallet from my back pocket, opened it, and took out one of my debit cards. Then, she handed me the wallet, and I put it back into my pocket. She dropped it into the side of her purse and grabbed my belt loops.“What’s my limit?” she asked, and I sighed, shaking my head. She had been spending so much on baby clothes and other things lately that I jokingly told her once that I was going to give her a limit. Obviously, she took me literally.
Protected 84: Rip Him A New One
JillieI sat on one of the barstools and watched Alyx and Jarren move around the kitchen. Neither of them would let me help. In Jarren’s mind, I shouldn’t be on my feet since I was almost thirty-six weeks pregnant. To my utter horror, not only did Alyx agree with him, but Mason did as well. I knew that you weren’t supposed to be on your feet a lot when you got further into a pregnancy, but Jarren had it in his mind that I wasn’t supposed to be on my feet at all. I was honestly surprised that he hadn’t just taken to carrying me around everywhere. Hehadtaken to waiting on me hand and foot, and I’m not going to say I didn’t like it, but a girl has to maint
Protected 85: Speechless
Jarren Rian had lost his damn mind talking to the women in the house that way, and if he thought that I wasn’t going to say something about it, then he had thought wrong. When Mason shut the door behind him, I pushed Rian into the side of the house. My anger was at an all-time high.“Have you lost your mind?” I questioned, fuming. Mason stepped between us.“Look, I know what you’re going to ask me, and it’s none of your business. What happens between Sage and I is just that, between Sage and I.”“Wrong!”I snapped. “When it’s affecting the two of yo
Protected 1: Denial
Jillie Swinging my feet out of bed, I sat up and stretched. Walking over to the mirror on my closet door, I placed my hand on my stomach. Pregnant. I shook my head. I wasn’t pregnant. Sure, I’d missed a menstrual cycle or two…or three, but I wasn’t even having morning sickness. It was just stress, stress from what was, at the time, unknown, and stress now from the wedding, which was now only a month away. I let out a deep breath and headed into the bathroom. Turning on the shower, I undressed before stepping inside. I let the hot water run along my body before washing myself and my hair. When I was done, I wrapped a towel around my body and one around my hair. I walked back into my room to find Jarren sitting on my bed.“I swear I locked the window.”He chuckled, amused. “Teya, let me in.”“Oh. Okay.” I stated, pulling out a bra and matching panties.“How do you feel?”I turned my back, rolling my eyes as I slipped into my bra. “Fine.”“No sickness?”“Nope.” I re
Protected 2: Telling His Parents
Jarren Jillie was more than tired by the time we’d finished everything, and she still had to go to her dress fittings. I stopped at an ice cream parlor and got her some vanilla ice cream. “I love you.” She stated, taking it and digging in. “Well, aren’t you easy to please?” I chuckled, amused. “I mean it. You always know exactly what I need.” I pulled out of the parking lot, and we headed toward her house. I glanced over at her when she let out a deep breath. “What’s wrong?” “Do I have to go to this fitting?” “Yes. Don’t you want to fit into your dresses?” “Well, yeah, but do I have to have them on the same day?” “It’ll be over before you know it.” It was quiet for a minute. “I think we should tell my parents you’re pregnant.” “Why?” She asked, spooning some more ice cream. I glanced at her. “Because maybe then you won’t be in denial.” “I’m not.” She responded quietly. “Whatever you say. Either way, we should tell them because if I can hear the baby
