Chapter Fifteen
Zack and she hadn’t made love since they found out she was having twins. Laurel suspected he was afraid to touch her now. She didn’t want to tell him that there would be a point, possibly sooner rather than later, when sex was no longer an option. There was plenty of time to worry about telling him that later.
Laurel decided if he wouldn’t come to her she would have to seduce him. Accordingly, Travis and Tobi were having Cody and Katrina sleep over at their house.
While Travis was doing his best not to nag Laurel about her decision not to marry Zack, she could tell it was hard for him. “Special plans?” her brother asked her when she brought the kids over to the house.
“Yes, and no, we’re still not getting married.”
Travis just grinned. “A guy can hope.”
Ignoring that, she thanked him for volunteering to keep the kids.
“We’re looking forward to it.” He tugged on a strand of her hair. “I’m glad you’re letting Harlan and me take care of the kids more often. It used to be like pulling teeth to get you to agree to it.”
“I didn’t want to take advantage of you two. But you really don’t mind, do you?”
“Of course not. You, Cody and Katrina are family. We love you.”
Family. To Travis that said it all. “You and Harlan are good brothers.”
“About time you realized that.”
Laurel laughed. “How could I not? Tell Tobi hi and I’ll be by to pick up the kids in the morning.”
She went home and finished prepping the lasagna but didn’t put it in the oven yet since she wasn’t sure when Zack would get there. I’ll just lie down on the couch for a minute.
The next thing she knew Zack was kissing her awake. Opening her eyes, she smiled at him. “When did you get home?”
“Just now. I saw Sleeping Beauty here on the couch and couldn’t resist kissing her.”
She wrapped her arms around his neck and tugged his head down for another kiss.
“Where are the kids?” he asked.
“With Travis.” She kissed him again, making sure to put a lot into it. One kiss led to another and soon she struggled to sit up so she could take off her top. When she started to undo her bra, Zack stopped her.
“Are you sure we should do this?”
“You mean make love? Have sex? Hit the sheets? Get busy?”
He smiled. “Yes to all of the above. Is it okay?”
She reached behind her back to undo her bra and fling it aside. “I was hoping it would be a lot better than okay.” Judging from the way Zack’s eyes darkened and the sexy smile on his lips, she felt sure it would be.
He got up, then scooped her up in his arms and headed for the bedroom. Once there, he placed her carefully on the bed.
“I won’t break, you know.”
“I know.” He took off his clothes, then helped her take off the rest of hers. Except for her panties. He liked taking off her panties last, and making it slow. Kissing her skin as he bared it.
Laurel reached for him, feeling his erection, hot, hard and ready. “I want you, Zack.”
He reached for the bedside table drawer and pulled out a handful of condoms.
“I can’t get any more pregnant.”
“I hadn’t thought about that.” He tossed the condom in his hand over his shoulder and settled between her legs. He entered her slowly, gradually going deeper until he was fully sheathed inside her, but taking the weight of his upper body on his arms rather than on her.
