She saw my his face that her idea appealed to him.
"It could be done" he said. "Might be quite nice down there too. I just hope they won't take the weekends away from me too. Will Audrey be okay with you staying with her for a while?"
"Will she be okay with it!" Penny cried, relief, bursting inside her while she flung herself into Jeremy's arm. "Oh I know she will. I will call her now and ask her. Oh it will be wonderful... Just like a holiday. Oh I'm so happy that I don't have to be here alone for three weeks"
"Jeremy planted a kiss on the side of her neck." Well, at least I get to see if I can during the weekends, it's better than

She could suggest to him they get married quietly and that she went back to Cornwall when she began to grow bigger... Have the baby there. Then he didn't have to bothered with the difficult part of pregnancy. Funny that she had not felt sick or faint."What are you thinking about?" Jeremy asked suddenly. "It isn't so often you stay silent for any length of time""Oh just day dreaming about Cornwell" Penny told him, letting the opportunity pass. "there, I have finished now. Let's make a cup of tea and go back to the sitting room""I'm gonna miss you tomorrow night, honey. Wish we'd thought of that sooner. You could have easily have gone down the next day""I have already told Audrey to expect me tomorrow" Penny told him. "Never mind, darling. I'll be there when you get there""Mmmm" murmured Jeremy. "Still wish you weren't leaving me alone tomorrow night"Penn

"You are not engaged, are you?" Penny asked."No! I haven't met what Audrey would call the right girl. And I don't go out a lot or have a lot of friends... Especially female ones"So she had been right, Penny thought. He wasn't used to women."So what kind of girl do you like? Penny asked with a smile."I'm not sure "he said, smiling back at her." But I will know when I meet her""Dark or fair?" Penny persisted mischievously."I don't mind" Joey answered. "It doesn't matter a great deal what she looks like. I'm more interested in character. I want a wife with a certain amount of intelligence, a sense of humor and above all, no affectations. I can't stand airs and graces"Then he laughed suddenly and Penny saw that it altered his face completely. He looked younger, more boyish. She remembered that Audrey had said that he was three years older than her. That must mean

"I'm pregnant. I'm going to have a baby" she broke out huskily and added before Audrey could speak "I saw a doctor. She confirmed it""My dear poor Penny" Audrey said, her voice a mixture of sympathy and disbelief. "My poor darling. But surely, Jeremy....""I haven't told him yet" Penny broke in. "I'm afraid Audrey. I'm afraid he will... Well, he will be awfully upset and then he will feel like he has to marry me""I should hope so" was Audrey's brisk comment. "Good heavens, Penny, you keep that man wrapped in cotton wool. Let him do some of the worrying. He should be upset, and he will most certainly have to marry you""I wouldn't let him" Penny said immediately. "I couldn't bear him to marry me under protest. It isn't enough. I only want him to want marriage if he wants it. Too... Unconditionally... I don't want him to marry me now because he feels obligated to"Audrey looked at Penny's bent head,

Penny wasn't unaware of the intensity of his gaze. She lay with her head resting against the arm of the chair, a lock of dark brown hair falling across her forehead, her eyelashes dark and dusty against the pale creaminess of her cheeks. One long slim hand tucked under her chin and the other lay along her side, relaxed and beautiful in its unconscious pose.In those minutes of observation, Joey knew that he loved this girl. That he wanted this woman to be his. It was so sudden and unexpected as the sound of the first shell burst at the start of an attack. All his life he had waited for this moment, and now the realization that it had come at last gave him the same sense of shock as one receives when one expects a loud report, and because of the anticipation is more startled at the explosion.It took him several moments fully to understand that what he was experiencing were the birth pains of the first real love in his life. He allowed the revelation

After he had gone, the two girls talked."This house of yours has a very homey atmosphere" Penny said. She rose and stretched and smoothed back her hair. "Dreamy and peaceful and comfortable. And your Joey is so nice"Audrey gave her a quick look, turned as quickly to her typing again."He is a dear" she said casually. "Not much of a glamor boy perhaps, but I like him"Penny smiled at Audrey. How reticent these two were and yet most probably their emotions were more deep rooted than most of those people. With Jeremy, it was so easy to judge his feelings. If he felt irritable she would know instantly. When he was pleased or happy, she could read it in his face. But looking at Audrey now it was impossible to guess correctly what was passing through her mind.'Is she shocked at me?' Penny asked herself. 'Will she judge me and wish she'd never met me if I had this baby? "&nbs

Penny listened to Jeremy with a deepening perplexity. Why was he being so condescending, so superior? Was he trying to bring Joey down in front of her? Was he just so jealous?The thoughts raced through her mind as she listened, with scant attention to their voices."What are you planning to do when you leave your present job? Penny tells me you say you want to do something else."That was Joey's voice, carefully polite."Oh i haven't made up my mind yet" Jeremy replied. "I have had several fairly good offers to join various friends in business, but I want something really worth while. I don't fancy living on a thousand a month""A thousand a month!" Joey raised his brows. "I should think that pretty good for a start. I wouldn't sniff at it. It's just something you start with""It's not much good to anyone with ambition" Jeremy said carelessly.&nb

"Penny is going to have a baby" Audrey blurted out suddenly. "Jeremy's baby... Of course"Joey swung around. He looked suddenly furious."Then he'd better marry her quickly" he said."Penny hoped that a home life would teach Jeremy not to be so afraid of being tied down" Audrey said flatly. "I'm afraid she hasn't succeeded. Obviously the man isn't even ready to settle"Joey gripped his sister's arm. She felt his fingers biting into her flesh."You mean he won't marry her?" he asked incredulously.Audrey released her arm from his grip. "I don't know Joey" she said. Penny hasn't told him yet. She was going to tell him tonight. I hope that's what she's telling him right now because if she doesn't I will "Joey sat down heavily in the nearest chair and thought about Penny. He hadn't known the woman for long, and yet he felt so strongl
BREAKING POINT Chapter Twenty Nine
With half her mind, Audrey agreed, but the other strictly feminine side, realized that this would mean several days of indecision for Penny while she lay wondering how Jeremy would accept the news that she was going to have his child as she had made it clear to Audrey that she didn't want to tell Jeremy about the baby over the phone."Well, it's up to you, doctor" Audrey said at last and seeing that Joey's mind was made-up, she left the room to go call Jeremy.Jeremy took the news of Penny's rising temperatures with some concern, but he did not attempt to persuade Audrey to let him come over that evening."I'm frightfully bad in the sick room" he admitted frankly. "Always so damn healthy myself, i never know what to say or do. I know you will look after her well""We will. Joey, of course knows the ropes. Can I give her a message from you?" Audrey asked him."All my love" Jeremy sa

She leaned back and looked up at him. "I can't believe I'm standing here like this" Penny said."Like what?" Joey asked."half naked in your kitchen" she replied simply.Joey laughed. "You could always take off my shirt""No way. The lights are on"He paused, then began to unbutton the shirt.She grabbed his hands. "What are you doing?""Taking back my shirt" Joey replied, like what he was going was very normal. Like he had been doing it for a long time."You have on jeans. You don't need this shirt as badly as I do"He slid his hands to her wrists and pulled her fingers away. When she tried to pull free, he wouldn't let go."Joey" she said with a warning in her voice.He switched tactics and started at her neck, moving his mouth over her soft skin. He cou

Penny groaned, the sound low and desperate. Holding her by the hips to keep her steady, Joey tilted her closer, right where he wanted her, and explored her pretty, slick folds with his mouth. As he’d expected, she nearly buckled at the sensation, but he kept her steady, completely in control. And he didn’t relent, just kept pleasuring her until he heard her cry out her climax a few moments later.“Beautiful,” he murmured against her thigh, watching as she shook from the power of it.He let go of her hips. She stretched again, easing this way and that, her body warm and pliant and, he would suspect, still pulsing from her powerful orgasm.He had wanted to go very, very, slow, but right now, Joey wanted to share the moment, to be part of her deep pleasure. So he pushed his boxer shorts down, not even kicking them all the way off. Using his teeth to tear open one of the condoms he’d

Penny breathed a sigh of relief. She was so grateful to Audrey. "Thank you, Audrey. I honestly don't know what I would do without you. You are a blessing. Good night dear""Good night" Audrey replied and they hung up.When Penny turned around, it was to see Joey resting on the wall, watching her. He'd put on his boxers, Penny noticed. Good for her, she thought. She stood right where she was when he pushed himself from the wall and walked towards her."See, I told you Audrey's got this. You worry too much" he said, and as he did, he slipped a hand behind her and pulled her towards him, crushing her breasts to his hard chest."I'm sorry.... I just had to be sure that everything was fine" Penny said softly, wrapping her hands around his neck and clinging to him. He obviously wanted her to cling, because his hold on her tightened and his other her grabbed her butt.&n

That realization seemed to make him grow even more engorged against her, and he threw his head back, the cords of muscle standing out in his neck.Penny wasn’t entirely sure how far this kind of thing could go. She didn't know if he was close to cumming. Nor was she selfless enough to give up truly having him inside her. But she did like it. A lot. She especially liked that he was visibly losing a little of that infamous control, his hands clenched tightly in her hair, his breath coming in short gasps.“Gotta have the real thing, babe,” he muttered, dropping his hand to her shoulders and pushing her onto her back.“I wish you would,” she whispered, wanting him desperately.But instead of pushing her farther back on the bed and climbing on top of her, Joey went to the drawer and got a condom, then returned to stand between her parted thighs. He ope

His hand moved slowly.... Determined..... Straight inside her blouse from the bottom and then upwards. His big hand cupped her left breast and squeezed gently.Penny gasped in surprise when he did that. It was weird because she'd been expecting his touch. Waiting... And looking forward to it actually. But when his thumb and index finger found her nipple and squeezed, she moaned and her hands snaked around his neck, pulling his head down towards hers.Despite the lack of light, Joey's lips found hers with undeniable precision. Like his body, their warmth coaxed out a desire in Penny that she’d been trying to keep at bay, but it only kept growing stronger and stronger.Joey broke the kiss and moved back.“Sorry,” he started, voice suddenly very low. “I—I know what happened the last time we....I'm”Penny pushed her body forward, hand o
BREAKING POINT Chapter Seventy
Penny loved every inch of the house. And as he showed her around, she understood more why he loved it. A home for a family... As he had said. She wanted the same thing too....she always had. There was a time when that dream included Jeremy.... Not anymore. Right now, she could almost picture herself, Joey and Howard being a real family. Maybe with two other babies... Maybe twins. She loved twins. Always hoped she'd have them someday. Once she heard the twins were never born to women who wanted them, but that was probably another old wives tale, she thought.Joey's voice snapped her back to reality."Thank you for coming, Penny" he was saying, "You have no idea how much I have missed you. Missed hanging out with you""I have missed you too. Howard too. The house is really not the same without you" Penny replied softly, and seeing the way his eyes darkened with desire as he stared at her, she moved away a
BREAKING POINT Chapter Sixty Nine
Penny opened her mouth but no words came out. She wasn't sure why. Maybe it was because for the first time since she met Joey she'd never seen him look so angry. Or because she had just heard him use those swear words that way. Or maybe because of his plain admission of his attraction towards her. Or maybe it was all of it.She didn't know. Didn't want to care. She could feel her body start to react to him being so close to her, but she fought to concentrate. No matter what happened, she had to remember that she was still really angry with him."You can't blame me for all that, Joey" she said, trying to make him understand, "I had a bad break up with Jeremy and I .....""I'm not Jeremy...." Joey said a little harshly, his fingers digging into her arm."I know you are not, jerk" Penny replied. For some reason she felt her voice crack. Oh no. She wasn't going to cry. She shouldn't cry
BREAKING POINT Chapter Sixty Eight
What if she and Joey got together and something happened and they had to break up. Audrey would obviously have to be on her brothers side. As she should be, Penny thought truthfully. She couldn't bear to come between two wonderful siblings. And if that happened, their friendship and relationship would be ruined. Penny didn't want that. But it didn't matter now, obviously. Because Joey was leaving, and he didn't even bother to say anything about it to her, and maybe soon she'd get her own place and leave with her baby. He'd obviously given up the idea of them being together, because now he was moving on. And she couldn't blame him. He'd gone through a lot with her. Stayed with her and loved her even when she didn't return his feelings. She had rejected him so many times and now he he'd finally let her go. It was all her fault. Penny knew that, but it didn't stop her from being mad at him. He should have at least told h
BREAKING POINT Chapter Sixty Seven
Joey's hands slowed. He didn’t even lift the plate that was now perfectly clean under those soap suds. Penny's voice was so quiet now it was almost a whisper. "Joey? Do you understand?" she asked. Joey swallowed hard. Then he turned to face her, his hands dripping water as his eyes met hers. He looked.... Mad. "I understand, Penny" he said huskily. His hands made a fist, like he was willing them not to reach for her and grab her, then he brushed past her and out of the kitchen. ------------------ "Is everything okay with you Audrey" Penny asked Audrey as she joined her in the living room after putting away the dishes Joey had left behind. Audrey looked up from her phone and stared at Penny, "I'm fine. Everything is fine. Why do you ask that?" she replied. Penny took a seat beside Audrey. "You have been coming hom
