Oh my gosh, I bet he looks so damn cute holding that kitten. I love a big muscly fella holding a tiny kitten, puppy or a baby. Cuuuuuuttte Thanks everyone for reading xoxo
ImogenMy stomach growls, I can tell it’s still very early since the daylight hasn’t started to come through the window and I left the curtains open. Kitten is meowing, almost screeching like a baby. Shit. I forgot. I get up and grab for my pink, kimono robe over my bedroom chair, tie it at the waist and bundle him up in my arms. He clings to me for dear life. Poor thing, he is probably missing his cat mom. It tears at my heart. He snuggles into my chest suckling on the thin fabric of the kimono.“Come on little man, let’s go and get you some food. Mommy is hungry too.” I glance at Cody and my heart swells as I see his face soft in sleep. No lines etched on his face from the Luna stress and the tiredness of the season on the ice he is going through. I want to stroke his soft skin, but I don’t want to wake him. He needs his sleep.As I walk down the stairs I feel the dull ache from our sex last night, it makes me smile. It’s a good ache. I get downstairs and reach for his kibbles and f
Cody“Coach and my manager want me to be nice to Luna. They want me to be seen with her.” I watch as her face falls, dammit, I hate that I have to do this to her. I hate that I have to make it look good between Luna and I.“Why? Who cares about her. She’s been a bitch and caused a lot of problems, look how many people are being mean to you.” Her arms are folded in front of her chest.“I know, darlin’. I know. I don’t want to. You have to trust me on that. I can’t stand her, whatever was I thinking when I.” I trail off, no need to rub shit in her face. That’s not what I want, in fact I just want to sweep her up and run away with her, somewhere far away where we can’t be touched. It’s not like I haven’t got buckets full of money to give us a nice, comfortable life. We could literally live anywhere and in comfort.“It sucks.” Is all she says, I can see tears welling in her eyes. She wipes them away with the back of her hand.“Yes, it does. But they are concerned that my image is going to
Imogen Is my stomach in knots? You bet it is. Am I scared? You bet I am. I feel sick, nauseous and like I’m about to projectile vomit. Ever seen the Exorcist? That’s exactly what I am talking about. The bile is at the back of my throat as I listened to Cody telling me about having to make good with Luna for appearances sake and the baby scan later today. Shit. I honestly thought it wasn’t for a few days. Would it have made any difference? Probably not. I’d still be on tenterhooks. It’s the way it is but I am a big girl, and I am stronger than I think. Will I run again this time? No way. He is the real deal for me, he makes my heart melt, I swoon just looking at him and hearing his voice. There is no way I am running out on Cody Brannigan and leaving him hurting and broken hearted nor for another girl to come into his life to take him and nurse him better. It’s not happening. He had to leave soon after we had breakfast, kitten was crying by the door when he left, and it made me sob.
CodyI dress in an ordinary pair of black jeans and wear one of my white Versace t-shirts. I have changed four times, you thought a woman could be bad, well today folks, I am having high wardrobe anxiety. I don’t want to look like I have made a huge effort to see Luna, absolutely NOT. Yet, I do want to feel good about myself for the first images of seeing my baby.I rake my hands through my hair. The door knocks. Who the fuck is that? Thus, the white t-shirt because I am rapidly running out of time, and someone is at the door.Opening it, I find Atlas standing outside. “What are you doing here? I thought you were flying from the game straight to see Fallon.”“That was the plan but now she has a paper to sit and needs the study time. Besides, I know today is really important for you and wanted to come by and give you man-hug.”“Aw, Man how sweet.” I’m being sarcastic. “Um, how did you know today was a big thing?” I look at him confused and allow him to step inside the property. He’s a
Cody I still can’t believe that Luna is already twelve weeks pregnant, I rake my hands through my hair as the sonographer tells her to take a lay down on the bed by the machine. It makes me nervous just being in a hospital. Watching my grandfather dying from cancer with a brain tumour was one of the first encounters I had in hospitals. Sure, I’ve spent my fair share of time now in them from accidents on the ice but being in a room with contraptions, monitors and the like, still gives me nervous tension. I am also worried that everything might not be okay with the baby, I mean it should be fine but what if it isn’t? My mouth has gone dry, and I wish with all my heart that Immi was here by my side. Luna is lapping it up, she is all smiles and reaches her hand out to mine as she lays down. The woman standing by the bed smiles, like it’s the most beautiful thing she has ever seen. Instead of giving my hand to Luna, I pull up the chair and take a seat with my legs stretched out in front
ImogenI am all a dither; I sent my mom home telling her I needed to take a lay down and that my head was pounding. I felt mean and horrible telling her big fat fibs just so I can get away with Cody coming over and my panties getting soaked. The thought of it is already making me wet and I have literally just had a shower.I’ve fluffed my hair out a bit, so it looks fuller and put on sheer, black lace lingerie. I happen to know that black is his favorite. It’s my lucky lingerie, well that’s what I think of it now since I was wearing it the first time Cody and I ever had sex.“You’ll call me later won’t you, Honey and let me know how you’re feeling?” Mom had said I was ushering her out the front door.“Absolutely, Mom. Of course.” I nodded vigorously knowing that I didn’t have long before Cody would be hauling his ass over to mine. I only had time to dash upstairs and grab a shower, play with my hear, put on the lingerie and throw my baby pink kimono over, tied at the waist. Kitten is
CodyMan, I hate leaving Immi like that. All I want to do is pick her up, sweep her off her feet and spend eternity with my girl. The way she feels and makes me feel is like nothing else I’ve ever experienced.“You got your head in the clouds?” Coach says as I walk up the steps of the jet.“Huh?” Yeah probably, I am lost in thought of Immi. The way her lips taste, the way she smiles and those eyes that pull me in and make me forget everything else around me. The way she smells, her divine coconut and strawberry shampoo, who’d have thought that a basic shampoo can drive me quite so wild. But it does.“Your top is on back to front.”“What?” I look down. Shit, he’s absolutely right. The V is at the back. Man, how embarrassing.“I was kind of in a hurry.” I say, I’ll fix it when I’m seated.“Yeah, Bro did your mommy forget to dress you this morning?” I glare at Calli.“Shut it, I was in a rush.”“We can see that. Sure, you got your head screwed on or were you screwing something else.” Nol
Imogen My evening was pretty uneventful after Cody left. I felt totally bereft like my left arm was missing. I was so thankful and grateful that I had my little fella, Kitten to keep me company. Thinking of which, I do need to give him a name. Today is the day my bestie arrives in town, and I cannot wait. Literally, I am so excited to go pick her up. Tonight, will be huge fun as we are planning to go out to watch the game and keeping everything crossed that our boys will bring the Stanley Cup home. I’ve been awake since five a.m. and made sure the place is hoovered, even though I only did it the other day. Autumn will sleep in my bed, and I will sleep on the sofa. Calli, it turns out has already given her a key to his house he shares with Logan, so she has the option of going there. She told me not to be ridiculous and that she was looking forward to girlie nights since we haven’t had a proper one for over a month. Actually longer, as I moved in with my folks when I came back home f
