“Mm… that mouth is impeccable. Damn, bae.”
The huskiness of his voice, the soft tone… it egged me on. I sucked until he came, then he picked me up and tried to do more, but this moment wasn’t about me. I genuinely just wanted to please him. After zipping his pants back up, we walked back outside. When I tried to get in the car, he pushed me to the side gently.
“Nah, let me push the seat up so you can get in the back.”
“Huh? Bae, I—”
“You think I ain’t about to get in this pussy? Toot that ass in the air for me, pretty lil baby.”
He smacked my ass as I climbed into the back, and all I could do was shake my head. I was crazy to think this man was going to leave here knowing how wet I got after giving him head. As he pulled my leggings and panties down, I gripped the seat for what I knew was about to be a quick and swift climax.
January 28th
My eyes fluttered before closing. Tears poured at the sound of my baby’s heartbeat. I was too early in my pregnancy to see them, but thankfully, with the doppler ultrasound, I was able to hear his or her heartbeat at my first appointment. I’d planned to spend my time alone in the house, finalizing my business plan with Luna Ray and getting different bouquet options together. Instead, a lot of my time was spent in bed. I felt like shit… and then I realized why.
The throwing up, the soreness, the lack of energy—they were symptoms. The biggest symptom? My lack of a period. As much as I wanted to wait for Aspen to go to the doctor, I couldn’t. It was going to drive me crazy not knowing, so I booked an emergency appointment.
Even though Aspen and I hadn’t been using protection, the thought of me actually being pregnant was still hard to believe. Even now, as I listened to my baby’s heartbeat, I couldn’t believe it. There was a tiny human being inside of me that was half of me and half of him.
Wow.
As I wiped my face, I released a sound that was a shriek mixed with a giggle.
Damn.
I really let this man get me pregnant.
This was a cruel joke. I hadn’t seen Peyton since that day, and while I grabbed pregnancy tests, he walked down the same aisle as me. Even though I knew I was pregnant, I wanted some tests for decoration. Had I known there was a chance I’d run into Peyton, I wouldn’t have stopped at this store. The only upside of seeing him was being able to look in his eyes and not feel love or hate. I only felt indifference. Indifference for him, at least. I definitely had an opinion about his actions and what he’d done, but that didn’t matter.
“Malaysia.” His voice was low as he stared at the tests in my hand. “Are those for you?”
Chuckling, I tossed them into my basket. “What? You can’t believe there was a man who wanted to have a baby with me?” His head flung back as he huffed. “Silly me for thinking you really didn’t want to start a family with me because, let you tell it, we were too young. Truth was, I wasn’t young enough. But a seventeen-year-old was, right?”
“Can we not?”
“You’re disgusting.” I spit at his feet, though I really wanted to spit in his face. “You deserve to be rotting in a cell for what you did.”
“You think I don’t know that?” He seethed quietly, trying to close the space between us. I took two steps back because I didn’t want him anywhere near me. “I know I was wrong. I know I should have left her when she told me her real age.”
“Still with this lie!” I yelled through my laugh. “Peyton, I know you knew her from church. I know you knew she was the pastor’s daughter. You knew that girl was underage, even if you didn’t know her exact age. Now if you want to live a fantasy and say you didn’t know she was who she was when you met her at the club… fine. But you don’t have to lie to me anymore. Trust me. There’s nothing you can say to make this shit okay.”
He avoided my eyes as he bobbed his head and twisted his mouth to the side.
“I’m turning myself in.”
“What?”
“She called me talking about she was back in Memphis because she thinks she’s pregnant again.”
Realization settled in. I looked around us again… as if the aisle held a deeper meaning now.
“You’re here to get a pregnancy test for her?”
He nodded. “Yeah. If she’s pregnant, I’m going to turn myself in. I need to just… get the time out the way. It’s clear we’re not going to be able to stay away from each other. I stayed away the first time because I thought she was going to get an abortion, but she was too far along. Now that my son is here and she might be pregnant with my second child, I can’t stay away. So if I have to do a year or two to keep this from being something people can hold over our heads, that’s what I’m going to do.”
Blinking rapidly, I pulled in deep breaths. “So you were having sex with her while she was staying with us. That’s why you weren’t having sex with me.”
“Yes, but if I knew there was a chance you’d stay with me, I promise I wouldn’t have done it. I told her we could be together because I knew it was over with me and you.”
