“C’mere.” I place my hands under her arms and help her up off her knees. She straddles me, and I brush her hair away from her face. “Was it as good as you thought it would be?”
She jabs me in the shoulder. “Jackass.”
I chuckle and bury my face in her neck. “Best blow job ever.”
She giggles, and I roll us over, setting her back on the inflatable couch.
“And now it’s your turn.” I slide down her body.
When will I ever get enough of this woman?
Once the movie is done, we pack up and I drive us back to my place. My house that has become a home with the addition of Briar. I’m completely screwed if she ever leaves me.
Chapter Thirty
Briar
“Do we have to go?” Emmett wraps his arms around my waist, tugging me against him and away from the bathroom counter.
“I’m trying to get ready,” I say, tilting my neck so he can kiss his way up to my ear.
He lightly bites my earlobe and sucks it. “Come back to bed.”
“It’s your brother’s baby shower.”
His hands fall to my stomach. “And yours will be next.”
“I don’t expect a shower.”
He slides his hands to my hips and turns me around to face him, stepping into me so my back presses against the counter. “Everyone will want to celebrate this little one.”
I’m not so sure. There are so many questions that wake me up at night. If I stay with Emmett, will the Noughtons accept my baby since he’s not the father? They’re all sweet and nice, but this circumstance is unusual. Then again, they’ve accepted Clayton as their own.
“Stop thinking so hard.” He presses his lips to my collarbone. “You’re putting too much stress on yourself, which can be solved by just telling Gillian.”
I slide out of his arms, turning to the sink to continue putting on my makeup.
He sighs. “I’m just?—”
“I know. I know. We’re having lunch in Lincoln this week under the guise of it being a shopping trip. I’ll tell her then. Far away from here where she’ll have to ride back with me.”
He slides up to sit on the counter, watching me. “I’d like to be there for you.”
I side-eye him, putting on my eyeliner. “I think it’s best that I do this alone.”
“Cool.” He pushes off the counter, goes to the shower, and turns it on.
“Emmett…” I sigh, knowing he’s disappointed.
He’s been making little comments here and there, and I think he’s growing restless that we haven’t told anyone.
He strips his boxers off and is about to get into the shower when I hug him from behind, pressing kisses along his spine.
“Don’t be mad.” I tighten my arms around him, and his hands cover my hands on his chest.
“I just feel like we’re in a stall pattern until everyone knows. I thought sneaking around would be fun for a while, but it’s not.”
I squeeze him. “You’re right. I can’t today because I don’t want to ruin Sadie and Jude’s baby shower, but tonight. I’ll tell her everything tonight.” It’s time I woman up and tell Gillian the truth. As it is, I have to face Chad at some point as well.
