Something Forever(23)

“Yes.” I started to feel hot and flushed, recalling how good he’d made me feel.

“Good. Then I know—”

“Actually, I think I forgot.” I intervened before he could finish. I wanted to say something he would not expect. That got his attention big time. His ego must have deflated because he was silent for a second, probably contemplating whether I was teasing or being serious. I couldn’t help but smile knowing that I had stumped him a little.

“Really?” He sounded quite surprised. “I’ll help you remember tonight.”

He didn’t have to tell me that; I already felt tingles down to my clit from his words. His flirty, sexy tone always got to me and made me feel like I was in his arms.

“I’ll see you tonight, Mr. Knight.” With that I got back to work, but how was I supposed to work when all I could do was think of what Max had done to me on my desk? When I heard a sound, I looked up. I didn’t recognize the woman standing in front of me, so I glanced at Matthew, who’d just walked back into the office after a meeting, then back at her. Matthew shrugged his shoulders. He had no idea why she was there. Seeing a nametag on her shirt and a box of something indicated she was there to deliver something to me.

“Hello. May I help you?” I asked.

“Are you Ms. Mefferd? Soon to be Mrs. Knight?”

I smiled at her words. Max was up to something. He’d probably told her to ask that question. “Yes, that’s me.”

She handed me a box with a blue and pink ribbon tied neatly into a bow. “I’m from Café Express. I was told to deliver this to you.”

I reached into my wallet and handed her a tip. “Thank you so much.” After she walked out the door, I opened it. Inside of the box were some salted crackers, a heart shaped Rice Krispy Treat, and a pink cookie that read, ‘Maybe a girl?’ and a blue cookie that read, ‘Maybe a boy?’. Happy tears dampened my eyes. I wiped them away quickly before they could fall. Max filled my heart with joy and made me feel so light, like I could levitate off the ground from being so happy. He was too good to be true.

Seeing that there was a note inside, I took it out to read it.



Jenna,

The crackers will help ease the queasy stomach. Make sure to eat a little throughout the day, and also drink a lot of water. Whether a boy or a girl, I promise to love our child and I promise to be the best father and husband.



TKLS,

Max



Jenna

Since our schedule didn’t allow us to have dinner together and Max was coming home after me, I grabbed a quick bite to eat at work. I wanted to surprise him. I thought about dressing in his favorite lingerie and sitting next to the running bath, or wearing nothing except his silver tie and draping myself across the bed. All of those naughty thoughts were running through my mind while I was driving. I couldn’t believe I was thinking like this. After all, I had to find a way to thank him. He sure was making up for leaving me in the morning with a broken heart.

The smell of roses whiffed through my nose when I entered our place. Baffled by the smell, I turned on the lights and dropped my stuff on the sofa. Oh my God! I didn’t know how many vases of roses there were, but they were everywhere. Every way I looked was red. Seeing a note on the table, I picked it up.



Soon to be Mrs. Knight,



I told you I was going to make it up to you for being an ass. Follow the rose petals on the floor so I can finish what I started in your office. I was thinking of you all day.



TKLS,

Soon to be your husband and a father



With a huge smile on my face, I shifted my eyes to the floor, and sure enough there were rose petals. Following the trail heading upstairs, I started taking my clothes off. The rose petals led me to the bathroom. I could see glowing lights. What was Max up to?

Candles of different sizes filled the bathroom: on the counter, on the floor, and even around the bathtub. My eyes grew wide at the beautiful, serene ambiance. Off to the side of the bathtub were two glasses and a champagne bottle.

Soft instrumental music filled the air and rose petals floated on the water. Seeing steam rise, I knew Max had recently filled it up. It was no wonder he’d kept texting me when I was on my way home. “Max?” I called softly when he was nowhere to be found. Almost all the way undressed, I was about to take off my underwear and bra to get into the tub.

When I felt a warm pair of hands capturing me from behind, I gasped lightly and melted into Max’s chest, especially when he purposely rubbed his dick on my ass. Feeling his flesh brought me to another level of excitement.

“Let me help you with that,” he whispered in my ear. He unhooked my bra and allowed the straps to slip off my shoulders ever so slowly with his help. His feather-light touch was driving me insane. “And let me help you with this one.”
