Wild Addiction Volume 2 CHAPTER 40
My chest tightened at his insinuation. “You’ll probably leave anyway when you find out,” I whispered insecurely.And there it was. The real reason I couldn’t tell him.I was too afraid that, once I said those words, those two tiny words, he’ll walk right on out the door and I’ll be alone.“What? I don’t…” He ran his fingers through his hair. “Stop fucking around and tell me!”My chest burnt with my hurried breaths. Oh hell. I feel sick.“Tell me!”“I’m pregnant!”My words ricochet off every surface. They echoed, ringing in my ears, until they finally peter out into silence.I was still standing there, my arms around my stomach, only then my eyes were on the floor. I couldn’t look at him. He was not talking. He was not moving. He was breathing th

“Way to ruin the moment, asshole.” I poked his chest.He laughed and wrapped his arms around me. “It was getting a little heavy in here. Thought the mood could do with lightening.”“Pregnancy and declarations of love will do that to an atmosphere, I guess.” I smiled against his chest. “We’ll be okay, won’t we?”He kissed the top of my head. “I promise. And if we’re not, we’ll keep trying until we are.”Ivan stared at me across my kitchen table. Contemplative, curious.“What?” I asked. “I can eat cheese spread on toast if that’s what you’re wondering.”He smirked. “No.”“Then what?” I picked up my juice.“Can we still have sex?”I spitted out my juice. “What?!”“You kn

'I guess I should get used to sharing drawer space.'“What time will you be done with your agent?”I dragged my gaze away from his lovely butt and looked at him. “I won’t be long in there. Why?”“Because we need to talk to my sister.”“Why? What’s the rush?”He grabbed my hands and pulled me up. I’m not going to like this. He has that don’t-you-fucking-dare-argue glint in his eyes.“Ivan. Spit it out.”“Put your hackles down, bitch,” he murmured. “She needs to know she’s moving into your place and you’re moving into mine.”Apparently, drawer space wqsn’t all I should be getting used to.“Excuse me?”“You’re pregnant. My baby. You’re living with me.”“Correct, correct

At least they’re in a public place so emotion will be kept to the minimum.I’m still pissed about the ‘Me, Ivan. You, Brenda. You pregnant. You live with Ivan’ display that morning.On my wayI replied to his message and headed out to my car. I was about to get in when I realized that the restaurant they wer at was only two blocks over. Since the sun was out, I locked my car again and made the walk there instead.I felt really awkward about the conversation. I just met his sister a few days ago, and now I have to tell her that I’m carrying her niece or nephew. And I also no longer have no reason to not meet his parents.And that’s going to be even more awkward. Oh, holy hell.Holy hell on a plate of llama balls.I stopped outside the restaurant and took a minute to breathe. It was okay. This was another one of life&rs

I wrapped my fingers around his shaft, the smooth skin stretched over his hardness hot to my touch. I stroked him slowly, drawing each movement out… Wishing I could get away with moving and lowering my mouth to him as well.“Shit.”I moved my hand faster. “If you can’t take it, don’t give it.”He tilted my head back so I was looking dead in his eyes. “I can take it, and you know I can more than give it.”“Ever been denied an orgasm, honey?”He stilled once again—or tried to. His hips still moved against my hand, fucking my fist. “Never.”I smiled to myself and kissed my way along his neck. His movements became jerkier, his breathing more erratic and broken. He groaned my name into my shoulder, a heavy plea.I released his cock and pulled his boxers back up. “First time

“Dammit. There I was, concocting one last plan to hook Channing Tatum.”“He’s got nothing on me, baby girl.” He meant it, too. And he was right. “I’m one of a kind, and so are you, and that’s why we make total sense together.”“A.K.A., we’re both kind of fucked up, but when you put us together, all our broken edges kind of…mesh together.”“Broken edges are that way because they’re looking for the piece that can fix them. We fix each other, even if we have to jiggle about a bit until we do.” He grabbed my hand and kissed my knuckles.“I’m glad you think that way.” I curled my fingers around his cheek. “Because I want to meet your parents tomorrow. And tell them.”He paused. “You mean that?”“We’re stuck with each other

He leaned over me again and sucked lightly on my pulse point. It was thrumming, pounding, pulsating beneath the gentle caress of his tongue. My body was alive and waiting, anticipating, ready.He wrapped his arms around me and lifted me to standing. “Time to get wet,” he whispered, pushing me toward the bathroom.I ache as he led me into the room and then the shower. My breath catch when he turned the water on full force and stepped out of his boxer briefs.His erection pinged free, standing upright and resting against his stomach. I swallowed at the sight of it. God—it was long and hard and I knew exactly how that fucking tastes.My tongue darted across my bottom lip, and I knew he caught it because he wrapped his hand around himself. He walked back into the shower, his fist stroking his cock and his eyes on me.“Come here.”I walked i

He smiled at me and swept me into his arms. I tucked the quilt over us and snuggled into him, the warmth of his skin soothing to me as we entwined our legs and drape our arms around each other.“Where’s Angus?” he said against my forehead.“Out getting pussy. No pun intended,” I added when his body shook.“Good lad.” He tightened his hold on me, and I smiled.“You wouldn’t believe you had me against the shower wall not so long ago.”Ivan laughed softly. “It’s what I’m here for, baby girl. I’ll fuck you hard and love you gently. That’s all that matters.”Too true. I curled into him, savoring the feel of his skin against mine. His breath fluttering across the top of my head.“Love you, dirty Brit boy.”“Love you, sassy American bitch.”

“What… What is this?” I swallowed, looking at Ivan. He was grinning, but it was nervous. And I didn’t blame him. I wanted to know why he was standing next to an officiant and Aaron and Dayton. “How did you two—what? I don’t understand. Ivan, what the hell are you doing?” He laughed silently and stepped up to me. Then he took my hands in his and slowly linked our fingers. “Marry me,” he whispered. “Right now.” My lips parted and I shuddered out a breath. “For real? This isn’t a joke?” He shook his head. “Forever, Brenda. It’s only ever going to be you for me.” I looked over his shoulder at my best friend and her new husband. “But—they—” “Told me to,” he replied. “I like surprises, remember?” I opened my mouth, but how do you respond to the truth? I told him that once. “

His tongue swirled and skimmed across my body, tasting every inch of my skin. Each lick was like a blazing swipe of fire, searing into me, branding me to him. As Ivan travelled down across my stomach, he hooked his fingers in the sides of my shorts and pulled. “No knickers. Good girl,” he hummed against my hips. “Surprise.” My voice hitched as he pressed his lips to the top of my thigh. He smiled against my skin and removed my shorts completely. After discarding his own shirt, he bent down and bend my legs up. My chest rose and fell frantically, my breathing harsh. His fingers teased the inside of my closed thighs, working their way between them. But more than that, his breath on my pussy. Oh, god. I closed my eyes as he parted my legs fully and blew on me. I clenched everywhere, anticipation trembling in my legs. “This,” he murmured, kissing m

“Because they like to fuck with you.” I smiled sweetly. “What did they talk about today?”His face darkened. “When I slept with my student.”My curiosity piqued. I’ve never actually asked about it—why he did it. No matter how much I wanted to, it never seemed like the right time. Besides, it was not dinner conversation, was it?“And?” I asked, trying not to show my interest.I failed, because he smirked and joined me at the table. “Brenda, if you want to know, just ask me. It’s fresh in my mind, funnily enough.”“Uhh. Okay. Why did you do it?” I looked at him now.“Honestly, it was a mistake. I’d met her sister a couple of times, and there was only a couple of years between them. They looked very alike. I arranged to meet her sister for a few drinks one night, but i

“Without this bitch?” I shoved the IV forward.“No, you’re not taking it out. They only just changed the bag. You know they said they’ll take it out when it’s empty. Now sit down and wait a minute.”I sat in the chair he was just in and grumbled something I didn’t even understand. I didn’t actually think I said any words, just a bunch of awkward, annoyed sounds put together.Truth was, I knew I had to keep the IV line in. I knew I had to stay there until they say otherwise, but the problem with hospitals is that they’re not exactly relaxing. They’re too clinical and sterile. And boring. Completely boring.“Okay,” Ivan said, coming back in. “You can get dressed and come down to the shop with me.”“And how hard did you have to charm her for that?” I grunted, getting up.
Wild Addiction Volume 2 CHAPTER 64
I raised my eyebrows. “For once? So all the times I did what you wanted in bed don’t count?”His grin turned sexy. “You had to do that. We had an agreement.”“But they still count!”“When you’re better, you’ll have to remind me of how they count.” He curved his fingers around the back of my neck and kissed me. “Until then, though, you’re moving in with me.”“You already decided that.”“I know. But now I’m deciding again. And while you’re resting in bed, growing that beautiful baby and not vomiting all over my shiny toilet”—I punched his leg—“you can house hunt.”“House hunt?”“Yes. For us.”I blinked at him. “Um.”“Somewhere close to Day’s place.”
Wild Addiction Volume 2 CHAPTER 63
I nodded. “Will it hurt the baby?”“No, the illness itself won’t, but the dehydration can. Normally, I would listen in to baby’s heartbeat now, but since you’re so early, I probably won’t be able to pick it up.”I curled my fingers around Ivan’s and squeezed. Hard. “So what? How can you check?”“We’ll take you for an ultrasound at nine a.m. We took blood when you came in and I rushed the HCG results. The numbers put you at around nine weeks, so we’ll get a clear view of baby on the screen.” She stood. “The best thing you can do is get some sleep.”“I’ll try.”“And, Brenda?” She opened the door and stopped. “Don’t worry. Sickness is usually a good sign. It means you have high hormone levels and a healthy baby in there.”
Wild Addiction Volume 2 CHAPTER 62
“How the hell do you expect me to leave you? Look at you! I can’t walk out of here after seeing you like this! It goes against bloody everything in me to do that.”“But I told you I’d call if I needed you.” My head pounded and I closed my eyes. “You shouldn’t have been here in the first place, so just forget you ever came.” I pushed past him and pulled two Tylenol out of the drawer.And stared at the glass dumbly because I couldn’t fucking keep anything down.I threw the glass in the sink and it dropped with a smash. I rested my forehead against the fridge, the tears spilling over my eyes.“Brenda,” he whispered.“I’ve never been in so much fucking pain in my life. My head is thumping and my stomach hurts so bad, but there’s nothing I can do, because I can’t keep a single fuckin
Wild Addiction Volume 2 CHAPTER 61
Mark laughed. “I didn’t mean it so simply. I mean that, once a day, take thirty minutes for yourself and do something that’s you. It’s all about perspective, Brenda. If you allow yourself to make everything about him, it will be.”“It’s not about allowing myself. I can’t help it. He’s the center of my world. Hell, he’s the center of my whole damn universe, and all I can do is hold on to his gravitational pull while I spin out of control.”“You can help it. Of course you can. It’s your decision, and you have control because you’re aware of it. You’re in the position where you can grab your addiction by the balls and deal with it.”“Is that professional lingo, Doctor? Grabbing addiction by the balls?”He half-grinned. “If it’s not, it should be. It’s a very

All of it. For him. For me. For the baby.Without a second thought. Because we were more than addiction. It was hard to remember sometimes; we were stronger than the ties that bounded us in the beginning.We are not addiction. We are love in its strongest, purest form, no matter how wrinkly or rough it is. We are indestructible, and I truly believe that, one day, we’ll be able to weather any storm.Right now, we’re the eye of the storm. We’re the tornado touching down on the ground, and our relationship was in a whirlwind, destructive spin above us. If we try hard enough, we can slow the spin and the devastation.If we try hard enough, we can erase the storm and pave the way for the mess to be fixed.My bed dipped as I rolled over, yawning. I snuggled back into the covers and reached for the quilt. It felt like something hard, something warm, though. And
