I close the door before spinning her around and pressing her up against it, my lips locking with hers.
When I finally let her go, Leah licks her lips and smiles.
“Is that all, boss?” She grins.
“No.” I take her hand and lead her to my desk. “Is everything okay? You were late in this morning.”
Leah looks away and my heart sinks.
“Leah?”
She raises her gaze to mine, her eyes sparkling.
“I was going to leave this until later, but.” She twists her bracelet around her wrist.
“Leah,” I warn.
She fishes into her pocket and pulls out a stick, handing it to me.
I stare, captivated by the white stick, revealing two blue lines.
“What? When?” I say, my voice cracking.
“This morning. My stomach’s been feeling a little queasy, and when I walked into the bakery yesterday and the smell of the fresh bread. Let’s just say I had to leave.” Her head tilts, and she stares at me.
I step forward and pull her into my arms, my lips crashing down on hers. This might be the office, but...
“We’re having a baby,” I whisper, my heart pounding in my chest. “We’re really doing this.”
“We are. Although it’s very early days, and?—”
I place a finger over her lips. “A day at a time,” I say, dropping my forehead to hers, unable to keep the grin from my face.
She grips my hands in hers and squeezes, her gaze locked on mine.
“You’re okay with this?” she asks, and I’m shocked by the wobble in her tone.
“More than okay with it. If we were anywhere other than the office. I’d be showing you just how okay I am.”
“You’re sex mad.” She laughs.
“Guilty as charged, but only with you,” I say, realising it’s true.
I like sex, I like it a lot, but before Leah, it was an act, something to relieve stress. But now, I love watching her come apart in my arms, of the way her body is so in sync with mine. But it’s more than that. When I’m around her, the world seems brighter. I’m finding myself, for the first time, actively seeking someone to share the small things in life with.
“Well, it’s a good thing. Some women feel horny during their pregnancy,” Leah says, pulling me away from the realisation that things between us are changing.
I tilt her chin and drop a kiss on her open lips. “At your service,” I say before stepping back as the phone on my desk rings.
“I’d better go,” Leah says, moving towards the door.
“Okay. But don’t think we won’t be continuing this later,” I say, picking up the phone.
Leah grins and waves goodbye, as Amanda connects the call.
