Chapter 10

***********

I turned off the car in front of the building where there was the apartment of the two future newlyweds. I took the phone and the bag and went out. I was forced to leave Axel with my mother again, not that she wasn’t happy about it, she almost threw me out. From my house!

I didn’t like being away from my baby that long, no matter how much my kids were available. It seemed like I’d rather do anything than be with him.

I sent a message to my mother.

All right? I asked as I went to the glass door of the building.

We’re fine. Stop annoying. My mother answered.

I glanced at my mother’s answer. She really was the mother and I the daughter? I grabbed the phone with both hands to write the message.

Are you sure you have everything? Do you have enough milk? Otherwise, I’ll come home to breastfeed him!

Stop it, Maya! That’s all my mother said.

I opened wide my mouth and prepared to answer.

\"Maya!\" I heard me calling.

A deep, guttural voice that gave me chills all over my body like he already knew to who that voice belonged.

I turned around and found myself watching Nate Dare, in all his beauty, as he approached me. His hands were tucked into his coat pockets. He was disheveled, and his hair was a complete mess, but it gave him a calm and serene image. The cold had made his nose and cheeks a little red. The blue eyes shone and were pointed at me, almost making my legs jelly. Almost.

His breath formed condensation in contact with cold air.

I stood there watching him, with my phone in my hands freezing, so I turned it off and put it in one of the pockets of the coat I was wearing, as I slipped into my hands, hopping from one foot to the other trying to warm myself up.

Wearing a dress was not the best idea, the black-covered thighs I wore left free access to the cold, and the wind that sometimes pulled crept under the skirt.

Nate came up and leaned down and deposited a slight kiss on my cheek, immediately the cold that I felt vanished and my body began to boil, from the point where his lips touched my skin up to the tip of my feet.

God, I really need sex.

The pregnancy and postpartum hormones did not help my condition of horny perennial, if I was not careful, I could jump on the first that I happened to be in range.

\"No kids tonight?\" Nate asked looking around.

\"Oh no, my mother insisted on keeping him. She said I needed a night alone.\" I said more bitterly than I wanted to seem.

\"You don’t seem very happy about it.\" Nate said when he opened the door, \"Hi Dale.\" he said, saying hello to the doorman.

\"I don’t like being away from Axel.\" I said, heading to the elevator and pressing the call button.

Nate stood next to me, hands in his pockets. I could feel his look pointed at my profile, a red-hot look that made my legs tremble.

It looked like I was back to being the stupid little girl who spent the entire afternoon watching him walk from room to room shirtless.

The mere memory of Nate’s naked chest, of the teenage Nate, made me tremble. As a teenager he had all the muscles in the right places, what would his naked body be like as an adult?  And why was I thinking about his naked body?

Could I have been dumber? Probably not.

The elevator doors finally opened, and we went in. Nate entered the code for the plan of the two future spouses and immediately the doors closed.

\"You’ll have to loosen the rope and leave it alone for a while.\" Nate said, leaning against the wall and looking at me, \"How are you going to do it when you have to leave him in kindergarten?\" I electrocuted him with my eyes and made him laugh.

\"When the time comes, I’ll think about it.\" I said seriously.

Nate laughed, and the doors opened in front of the entrance of the two lovebirds\' apartment. Nate waved his hand at me to go first, laughing and I looked at him confused, and entered the apartment.

Following the scent of food, I went to the kitchen where I stepped and turned immediately closing my eyes as if I were on fire.

\"Jess!\" I said screaming.

\"Oh shit, May!\" she said as I heard Andrew laughing behind my back.

\"Do you two ever get tired?\" I asked as I heard the sound of a zip being pulled up.

\"I can’t help it if my boyfriend is sexy enough to make me want to tear his clothes off.\" Jess defended herself.

I opened my eyes and I noticed that Nate was only approaching the kitchen at that moment, laughing among other things.

\"Did you know?\" I asked looking at him.

\"I have surprised them so many times that I now know exactly how to behave.\" he said shrugging.

\"Are you presentable?\" I asked without turning back.

\"We’re not even done.\" Andrew complained.

\"Turn around.\" said Jess.

I turned around and saw her fixing the cup of the low-cut dress she was wearing, the blond hair was a bit messy, and you could see that Andrew’s hands had been in between while he was trying to hold her still. The skirt was wrinkled in the back and Jess was trying to fix it up while she gave Andrew a mischievous grin and straightened his shirt. Both had red lips and were swollen the cause was definitely given by the moment of passion they were living on the table before I entered and interrupted them.

\"Please don’t tell me we’re going to eat at that table.\" I asked by putting a hand on my face trying to forget my friend’s scene with her skirt up while Andrew was pumping her from behind.

Jess gave me a big smile and I shook my head.

\"Oh come on, we’ll eat in the dining room, not in the kitchen.\" Jess said.

I sighed with relief and shook my head.

\"Do you stay in your coat all night?\" Nate asked me.

I turned around and looked at him for a moment, then I realized I was still wearing my coat.

\"Oh yeah.\" I said on the way back to the lobby.

Nate was following me, and I didn’t understand why while in the kitchen the two shamelessly giggled and swore to hear even the snap of a kiss.

\"You might as well have warned me.\" I told Nate as I was parading my coat and hanging it in the proper place.

\"And make you miss the scene?\" he asked laughing.

\"It wasn’t something I wanted to see.\" I said, turning to him again.

Nate looked at me carefully and, although he tried to hide it, I saw the eye falling on the neckline of the dress that showed off the wide neckline I had. He cleared his voice and turned his head away.

I didn’t mean to show off the neckline so much, but it didn’t matter what dress I was wearing, my breasts were full and prosperous because of breastfeeding, and whatever fabric I put on it would highlight it.

\"Let’s go,\" Nate said as he walked back into the room.

I looked at him from behind and admired the fabulous ass that was wrapped perfectly by the pants. I bent my head to the side to look at it better and when I raised my eyes I found myself in front of Jess’s gaze.

She was looking at me from the kitchen door with her hands crossed on her chest. All that was missing was that she began to beat her foot on the ground. I immediately pulled myself up and looked away from Nate’s butt, giving my friend an innocent smile.

\"Maya help me in the kitchen.\" Jess said seriously.

Oh oh oh. It was never a good sign when she called me by my full name and not by nicknames.

Head down, I walked into the kitchen and passed her while Nate went somewhere else.

\"Maya Jo Sheppar!\" she said, scolding me but keeping her voice down.

\"I didn’t do anything Jess Sarah Dare soon Thompson.\" I said as I approached a pot with gravy in it and started to turn.

\"I saw you!\" Jess replied by standing next to me.

\"I don’t know what you’re talking about.\" I pretended not to.

\"Look, I know you’ve got your hormones running high and everything, but don’t drool behind him. Nate’s not for you.\" she said, lowering her voice even further.

\"I wasn’t drooling.\" I defended myself by stirring the sauce.

\"My floor is not of the same opinion\" crossed his arms to the chest and looked at megrim.

\"I was just admiring a nice ass. Is it forbidden now?\" I asked snorting.

\"Yes!\" she said, knocking her foot on the ground, \"If it’s my brother’s!\" she kept lowering her voice.

\"Oh please! I’m not stripping in front of him or begging him to take me on your carpet!\" I said exasperated.

\"No, but you would!\" replied Jess.

\"Oh shut up!\" I said, stirring the sauce vigorously.

\"Please, Maya, avoid tripping over my brother’s penis.\" I looked at her speechless and, when I was about to replicate, the object of our conversation materialized in the kitchen.

\"Do you need a hand?\" Nate kindly said looking at us.

\"No!\" we both said in unison.

I turned my back on Nate and kept minding my own business with gravy while I felt his eyes on my back.

\"You can go, Nate.\" said Jess.

I should have stayed home.
