“Excuse me,” Brian said, being persistent.
Caleb glared at Owen.
“Brian, man, she’s not lost. Clearly, she met someone.”
“I don’t believe that,” Brian said, rushing over to an escaping Grace. He reached out and touched her arm.
Anger fused through his entire body and he stood.
Grace looked toward him. She was uncomfortable. “Look, I get that you’re concerned, but what you really need to be paying attention to is Caleb. Someone handed out drugs that put several people in the hospital. Why don’t you go and find them instead of interrogating him? He hasn’t done anything wrong. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got a child to attend to.” She turned on her heel and walked right out.
Caleb watched her go, enamored by all that she was.
He quickly and swiftly finished the meeting, making a note to talk to Owen about his partner.
The moment he was alone, he went in search of Grace, finding her in the kitchen. James was also there, using a rolling pin.
“What are you doing, buddy?”
“I’m rolling out cookies. I’m going to decorate them.”
“You’re doing a good job.” He kissed his nephew’s cheek and grabbed Grace, pulling her toward the doorway. “What the hell was that?”
She frowned. “What was what?”
“You had a chance there.”
“A chance to what?”
“To make your escape.”
She put her hands on her hips. “You mean that was a test? Were those men even police officers?”
“Yes, they were and you had your chance.”
“Caleb, I have no desire to leave you, okay? I’m … happy. I know that’s hard for you to believe, but it’s true.” She touched his chest and went onto her tiptoes, brushing his cheek with a kiss. “Now, do you want to help roll out cookies?”
“Not a chance.”
“But you’ll eat them?” she asked with a chuckle.
He grabbed her ass and pulled her close. “I think I’ve proven time and time again I know how to enjoy a good cookie.”
Arousal glimmered in her eyes and he was tempted to get one of his men to watch his nephew while he went and showed Grace exactly what he wanted to do to her. Instead, he kissed her again and released her, letting her go.
He stood in the doorway, watching them.
James’s little tongue peeked out as he concentrated like crazy on the task at hand. It was so cute to watch. He folded his arms and took in the scene. They both looked so comfortable together.
Returning his gaze to Grace, he didn’t know what the fuck to think when it came to her. She’d completely blown his mind already. There had been cops waiting who would have believed her and yet, she still stayed with him. He didn’t know if that made her brave or just plain stupid.
“Come on,” she said, holding her hand out.
Grace wasn’t supposed to last this long. No other woman had. She was like a breath of fresh air. Vibrant. Rather than want to get rid of her, he found himself drawn to her even more.
Her sweetness, goodness. Everything that made her who she was. She was everything he’d ever wanted, and now, he didn’t think he could stand a single moment if she ever left. He needed her, and it hadn’t dissipated once.
Running a hand down his face, he didn’t join but instead, left, hoping to gain some semblance of control while he still had the chance.
Chapter Twelve
Grace had something important to tell Caleb.
Only, his lips down her body were far more important than spoiling the moment.
Pregnant.
She’d been able to get a test from one of the men, and she’d taken it that afternoon. The missed periods, morning vomiting, tenderness, they were all signs of pregnancy, which she had.
“I fucking love your body,” Caleb said, spinning her over and drawing her up to her knees. His lips followed the path down her back as he spread her ass cheeks wide and began to stroke and tease. He pushed two fingers inside her but he didn’t keep them there. He pulled them back, circling her anus. She tensed up even as she liked the new sensation.
He’d been playing and teasing more and more at taking her ass. Each time he’d add another finger, or tease with the tip of his cock. So far, he hadn’t gone too far.
Caleb nudged her forward so she was flat on her stomach, and he opened her thighs, spreading them wide. She watched as he went for the lubrication.
Again, nothing new, but tonight, something felt different.
She gasped at the cool gel as he rubbed it against her anus. His touch vanished and she glanced over his shoulder to see him applying a generous amount to his cock. He tossed the tube aside and his cock pressed against her tight asshole.
She gripped the edge of the pillow. Pain and pleasure mixed as he pushed against her forbidden entrance.
“It’s okay, baby. Push out. You’re going to enjoy this.”
