“What?” I asked as I stepped back to look at him. “Your company!”
“I’ll sell it. I’ll run it from here. Anything to be with you, Caroline.” He kissed me hungrily again before pulling away. “What is it? A boy or a girl?”
“I find out in a couple of days. Want to come with me?” I barely got the words out before he was kissing me again, his tongue slipping against mine as I tried to breathe.
“Yes. Are you kidding me? I am never leaving your side,” Perry told me as I pulled him down for another kiss. “Where is your condo?”
“How do you know I live in a condo?” I asked as he laughed. “You had someone look for me, didn’t you?”
“I was worried, heartbroken and bordering on crazy. I had to know something. Let’s get you and my baby some food and go there. I want to know everything about the pregnancy…every detail.” Perry said as my stomach growled, making us both laugh. “Come on. What are you craving?”
We got some Indian food, a new phase for me. Perry paid for the four bags and drove me back to the condo, unlocking the door to walk inside and look around carefully. I made my way to the fridge for some cold water for both of us before he brought the bags to the small bistro table. We did it like we used to, with just forks as we passed the containers back and forth.
I was crying again when I finished telling him everything. Perry looked devastated as he pushed the food away and ran a hand through his growing hair. “I am so sorry. I was scared, and everything happened so fast.” I took a deep breath. “I was never on the pill, Perry. I just wanted you.”
“We were meant to create this,” Perry told me as I raised an eyebrow at him. “We were meant for all of this, just like you said.” He cleaned up as I watched, then took me to the couch as he cleared his throat. “I brought something from the house for you.”
“What?” I asked as he drew close and kissed me softly.
“I planned this before I saw you,” he assured me as he reached into his pocket and drew something out. “I like that you’re wearing the necklace, Caroline. I have something to match it.” Perry looked into my eyes and held something close for a moment. “I realized that I loved you when we were on the island. All of you. I have never felt that way with a woman before in my life. It was magical.” He showed me a box that clearly held jewelry, flipping up the lid to reveal the diamond wedding set that graced my mother’s left hand every day of her life with me. My eyes widened as I looked into his eyes. “I want you to marry me, Caroline. I will do anything I need to be with you and our child. I just know that I never want to be without you ever again. To hell with what people think.”
I threw myself into Perry’s arms, crying as I told him that I would marry him. He slipped the ring on my hand and kissed me hard as I moaned, knowing that I could have him now. “You know the worst thing about being pregnant?” I had whispered before I kissed his neck. “The hormones. I have been getting myself off every night since I am kind of crazy about this particular man. Want to help me with that?”
“Fuck, yes,” he told me as he claimed my lips hungrily. We stripped on the couch, and he made me come with his finger against my clit before he carried me to the bedroom. “You’re taking tomorrow off,” Perry told me as he dropped me on the bed and lowered his mouth to mine.
“I can’t. They have been so nice to me,” I protested as Perry lowered his lips to my neck. “I’ll take the day off for the appointment the next day.”
“I am going to find us a house on the beach then. Something with room for us and the baby,” he murmured in between kisses as I laughed. “Do you want to stay here?”
“I don’t know. I am still wondering if this is a dream,” I whispered as I arched my back and offered him my breasts. He cupped them gently, telling me how beautiful I was with his baby growing inside of me. I knew that I was bigger and I cried out as his mouth covered my nipple, sucking gently. He slowly kissed down my body, his lips pressing gently against my swollen belly as he told our baby that he loved them.
He was between my legs after that, his mouth rough and hungry as he tasted me. I tugged on his hair as I rocked against him, screaming his name as I came all over his lips. Perry moved right up and over me, slipping his cock inside of me as we both groaned together. “I love you so much,” I told him as I stared into his eyes for a long moment. It felt like forever since I realized my feelings and a weight was lifted once I spoke them aloud.
