“Of course he can. He’d be crazy to think you’re anything else.”

“Do I detect sarcasm there?”

“Probably.”

He leaned over the sofa and kissed me. “Your sarcasm sucks.”

“No, I suck,” I muttered, nipping his bottom lip.

“Good thing, too. We have an hour or so in a plane tomorrow. Since you denied me the last time we flew together, you can put your sucking to good use, can’t you?”

“A challenge?”

“A demand.”

“Far be it from me to deny you your demands.”

I followed Ivan onto the plane with a swirling in my stomach. I licked my lips several times, as if I can shift my focus from it. It didn’t work. I got the feeling that the half slice of toast I had that morning before we left wasn’t sitting well and will soon be ma

    'No one ever tells you how raw your throat gets when they talk about morning sickness. Sure, they mention how horrible it is and whatever, but they never tell you the little bits.'My eyes moved from the beach to my stomach. It was still flat—aside from some light bloating that probably wasn’t even visible to anyone else. I wondered when that bloat would become bump—when it’ll be obvious to everyone else that there’s a tiny baby in there.I lifted my dress up over my hips and ran my finger across the skin above the waistband of my bikini briefs. It was smooth, hot, perfectly unmarred.'How long do I have until it changes? Until the beauty of what’s inside reflects in permanent markings that will only ever fade? How long do I have until I’m no longer me?'“It’s not every day I get to finish work and come home to my girlfriend s

    I raised my eyebrow. “Yes, because there’s a book for that shit. Didn’t you know? I saw a Barnes and Noble down the road—why don’t you ask them if they have a copy?”Another fry came my way. This time, I grabbed it from the sand and threw it back. He caught it in his mouth before he realized that it was covered in sand. He spluttered, putting his box of fish and chips down. I laughed at the way he scraped his tongue with his fingers.He launched himself at me and I rolled away.“Brenda! You bitch!”“Living up to my pet name!” I giggled, kicking my legs when he jumped on top of me and grabbed my wrists.He pinned them above my head and dropped his face. His eyes searched mine. His lips, quirked to the side, showing his dimple. I yearned to reach up and dipped my finger in that soft dent in his cheek, to feel the sm

    Our love was leading us blindly into an ending that might not be all that happy. My heart twisted with that thought. And the doubt—always the doubt. Nudging at the corners of my mind despite fighting it away. I knew it was irrational and it was wrong, but I couldn’t hold it at bay. Now, the doubts were infinitely more. Just…more. More painful. More intense. More potentially devastating. Because I had two hearts to consider. Two hearts beat inside me. Two hearts love inside me. Two hearts that can be easily broken. “Brenda? Are you really okay?” “I’m tired,” I replied softly. “I want to go back to the hotel.” Ivan stepped to the side and settled his arm around my shoulder, steering me back up the beach. He paused for a moment to grab our shoes before reaching for me again. I leaned into his embrace, and instantly

    I turned before I looked again.Innocent.I knew that.But my addiction didn’t.This was why we were not good. This was why I should have fought it from day one. Why I should have punched him in the dick instead of fucking it.He was my kryptonite and my trigger.He was my good and my bad.But this couldn’t be about him anymore. It couldn’t even be about me. It had to be about our baby. And having parents who are so hopelessly fucked up wasn’t going to be good for them.It won’t be good for us.I slammed the hotel room door behind me and called the hotel we were staying in for Day’s bachelorette party. By some crazy stroke of luck, they had a room spare. Not the one we were staying in, but a room is a room.I shoved all my things into my case and placed it on the bed.Is running worth it? But am

    When minutes passed with no reply from him, I placed my phone on the nightstand and pulled the covers up to my chin. I was aching everywhere. It was dull but heavy, my heartbreak weighing on me everywhere.Except my heart wasn’t broken. Not entirely. It was breaking slowly, every piece that chipped off shattering and pulsing through my bloodstream.My hotel door opened, and something in me told me that I should be looking for who it is. But I didn’t. I lied there, staring at the wall.“Oh, baby.”I dragged my eyes away and they collided with Dayton’s. “What are you doing here?”She walked over to the bed and perched next to me. “As soon as the plane arrived back in Santa Barbara, Ivan flew to Seattle.”I swallowed.“Ivan drove straight to our place and told us everything. I was packed and out the doo

    So it helps. Sue me. A girl can pretend.My phone vibrated on the nightstand, cutting off whatever Day was about to say, and I reached for it. Ivan’s name flashed on the screen, stopping my heart.'I’ll look after you ‘til Hell freezes over. You’re mine.' Ivan said over the phone******** ********* ********* ******** *****I was beginning to get very acquainted with the inside of toilets.I wondered how long it’ll take for it to get old. I mean, how many times can one person vomit before they get sick of it? No pun intended, of course…I spent an hour in the bathroom vomiting up a big, fat fucking nothing. That’s right. My throat burnt and my mouth tasted like sterility for no reason whatsoever.Thank you, baby Ivan. I appreciate it.I sat on the floor and leaned against the bath while I waited f

    I snorted, licking my spoon again. “Kind of? If I were at the other end of this pregnancy, I would have given birth I laughed so freakin’ hard.”Mish flicked some sprinkles at me. “It’s always nice to know the mother of your future niece or nephew has your back.”“Don’t anger the hormones. They’re evil.”“So I hear,” a smooth male voice said behind us.I stood and spinned. “The hell do you think you’re doing here, Aaron?”Aaron grinned playfully. “Our plane got…lost.”“Lost? Despite the fact we’re farther south than your destination, hmm?”“Air traffic control messed up the coordinates,” he tried again. “We ended up in L.A. What were we supposed to do?” He held his arms out to the sides, but his words were what

    “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.

    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.”

    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.”

    “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

    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
