Luka smiled and started pumping his hips again.
“Fuck, Luka, I’m not going to last long.”
Luka thrust harder into me as he held the vibrator in place. I grabbed both of my hard nipples and pinched them roughly. The mixture of pleasure and pain was mind blowing.
“Come, Vienna. I want you to come with me.”
My whole body shook as I felt him release his hot seed inside me.
“Oh yes, Luka!” I cried out.
Goosebumps erupted over my body as he pushed me over the edge, and I fell into an exhilarating orgasm.
“Do you want me to order something to eat?” he asked.
“Sure. Chinese?”
I walked away, pulling on some pajama pants. It was late afternoon, and we had been going at it like rabbits all day. I was sore in all the right places, and it made me feel so good.
He walked back in a couple minutes later. “Ordered. I hope you like Chow Mein.”
I nodded and pulled the sheet up around me, sitting up in the bed. He sat down next to me.
“I have to go to mass in the morning. With my family.”
“I figured you would. When are we going to tell them?”
His eyebrows came together. “About what?”
“About us,” I said in an annoyed tone.
“I don't know.” He shook his head. “When the time is right, I guess. There's still a lot of unanswered questions about us. Things we’re going to have to figure out.”
“Like what?” Was this when he was finally going to be honest with me? Was he going to tell me about my family?
“I mean, I haven't seen you in ten years. They’re going to wonder how I found you.”
“How did you find me? When I ran, I thought I covered my tracks pretty well.”
“It took a while. I had my guy on it.”
“How long?” How many years had he been searching for me?
“About two years.”
My mouth dropped open. “Two years! You looked for me for two years?”
He shrugged, obviously embarrassed. I didn't even think Luka could get embarrassed. But I saw just a hint of blush on his cheeks, and I knew he had searching for me for a long time.
What he didn't realize was that I had made myself easier to find. Roberto had given me explicit instructions on where to work and who to be with. Everything down to the apartment I was living in. Roberto assured me that I would be safe now, and I couldn’t say no to him because I honestly had no one else to turn to.
I'd been waiting for Luka to get out of prison for six months. But I had expected to be waiting a lot longer—Roberto had even talked about years. When Luka found me, my whole plan fell apart. As I looked into his dark gray eyes now, all the anger that I thought I had for him melted away. I thought it would take months of us reestablishing our relationship for him to trust me enough to tell me about my parents. And I thought that time that I wouldn't fall for him. But I had been so wrong.
He was just too irresistible.
“I know you’re scared, which is why you ran. But I had to find you again. You needed to know how much I care about you and how much I want us to be together.”
“So why not tell your parents about us, then?” I was getting closer, I needed to tell him…
“Because they haven't seen you in a decade! And they didn't even know how I felt about you back then. I never told anybody. But we’re together now,” he said as he put his thick hands around my face. He pulled me in for a rough kiss. “And I'm not letting you go.” His voice was gravelly. This was it, our moment. It was time to tell him.
“You don’t have to.”
“Good.”
“No I mean really, we’re together, forever.”
He raised an eyebrow. “What do you mean?”
“I’m pregnant.”
His eyes grew wide and a smile spread across his face. “Is this why you came back?”
I nodded, choking back tears. “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you right away. I needed to have some time with you first. I just needed to know more about you.”
“Because we’re having a baby?” He could barely contain his excitement.
“Yes. Because we’re having a baby.” I smiled back at him. His happiness was infectious.
He kissed me fully on the lip and I lay back on the pillows once more. I hoped the Chinese guy was comfortable with waiting a while. I’d make sure we gave him a good tip.

Luka
The next morning, I met my family at mass. I watched people walk past me with their children and I felt pride swell in my chest. I would be one of them soon. I would be a father.
I was still avoiding Vienna and her secret. She hadn’t tried anything yet; maybe she never would. I mean we were a family now. Even if she had wanted the truth about her parents before, that couldn’t matter to her anymore, could it?
