“I-I can’t,” She muttered, disentangling herself from his embrace.
“But don’t you see, Bianca? We can. That’s what I was trying to tell you.” Alex smiled stepping closer to her again. Bridging the gap that she had just created between them; both physically and emotionally. His hands gripped her waist as he stared deep into her eyes.
Bianca gasped as the realization of what he was saying just occurred to her. He was asking her to carry his baby.
Chapter 4
Bianca looked at Alex; she wasn’t sure what to make of his revelation. For the fiftieth time she thought about how they were practically strangers. And he wanted to have a baby with her!
“We can’t. We shouldn’t.” She mumbled, pulling away from him.
Bianca began to pace around the room again, her mind racing. The part that scared her the most was that she was actually considering his offer. No, it was crazy. Wasn’t it?
“Bianca,” Alex interrupted her frenzied thoughts. He sidled up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.
Bianca’s heart
fluttered, her stomach was a riot of butterflies. She wanted to tell him no. That she had a plan. Other plans. This didn’t make sense. But, he was making it so difficult. His large hands spanned her size six waist and she yearned to lean back into him, to be enveloped by his scent; leather, soap and male. The heat from his large body behind her seared her back and Bianca’s emotions were in turmoil. Shaking her head to clear her raging hormones, Bianca spun from his grip.
“No, this isn’t a good idea,” She asserted, walking across the room, away from his touch. If he touched her again she might give in.
“Give me one good reason why?” Alex asked. His gaze was intense as he stared her down from across the room. Those blue eyes of his turned stormy and she knew he was getting frustrated.
“We’ve just met. How do I know this will work? What if we spend more time together, and I’m already pregnant and we find out we don’t like each other? Or we have nothing in common?” Bianca wrung her hands with anxiety as she spoke.
“You have to admit there’s a connection between us, Bianca. I told you I’ve never felt this way about anyone else. I doubt in a few weeks, or even months, that I wouldn’t like you.” Alex stalked toward her and Bianca backed up nervously, jumping when the backs of her legs hit the couch.
Bianca sat, since she was already almost on top of the couch anyway. He was right on one account. Bianca also never felt this way about anyone else, especially not in such a short time. But what if she was wrong? Her instincts with men were skewed because of her mother’s track record with men. Bianca stood again, unable to stay still. She caught a look of hope, fleeting as it was, pass across Alex’s face. Could it be that he wanted a child of his own too? A thought occurred to her, seconds before she voiced yet another decline to his offer. She was going to go with a sperm donor anyway. That was the choice she made this evening after much thought. It would be a faceless man who would have no claim to her child except to bring them to life. Why not give her son or daughter a father. A real father. Even if it didn’t work out she was sure Alex was honorable enough to remain in the child’s life. Wouldn’t that be better than raising a child alone?
Nodding her head as she approached him, a final decision made, Bianca conceded, “Okay. Let’s do it.”

Alex spotted the shift in Bianca before she stood. She was thinking hard, and by the time she began to move toward him, he knew she would agree. Trepidation made his heart speed up as she agreed, but Alex wouldn’t change his mind. When he returned home from his last deployment, the moment his feet hit the runway he wanted to reenlist. He was a soldier, a pilot. That was his life for the last ten years. Until he saw Bianca. Her warm brown eyes and beautiful curly hair drew him in. When he spoke to her, her kindness and warmth held him there. This was it. The Air Force may have taken the first part of his adulthood, may have been his family for the last ten years, but he wanted a new life. A life filled with love and family. He had contacted Bianca earlier in the day to tell her about his new business venture. He wanted to share the exciting news with her and let her know he wasn’t going anywhere. When she sprung the news on him about her fertility issues, Alex knew there was only one way to remedy it and keep her in his life.
“Alex? Did you hear me?” Bianca asked, anxiety making her voice take on a high pitched tone.
Alex snapped out of his reverie, “I’m sorry. Yes, I heard you.”
Bianca looked at him strangely, possibly questioning if he was changing his mind. Alex smiled at her to reassure her but she still looked anxious.
“We can do this,” he assured, yet again.
Bianca nodded; she appeared to be trying to make herself appear more certain but Alex saw right through her. Alex reached for her and she didn’t resist or pull away this time. Happy that she was finally coming to terms with their decision, Alex pulled her to his chest. She rested her mop of dark curls against his chest, her breathing slowing. He could feel her heartbeat against his own. Each thump indicated that maybe they were both more nervous about the setup than they were letting on. Alex knew one way to break the ice. He pulled back from her, and she looked at him with confusion. Her expression changed when she saw the storm of lust and arousal pass across his normally clear blue eyes. Alex dipped his head to hers; his heart rate speeding up the closer their mouths came to one another. This was it. He wasn’t going to allow her to stop or pull away. She wanted him as much as he wanted her. He could feel it, could see it in her eyes and hear it in the way she said his name. Their mouths collided; need burning a path to Alex’s rapidly hardening cock. This kiss was more urgent than the last, as if to seal the deal of what they had just agreed too. He didn’t want her to change her mind. And before she could push him away again he wrapped his arms around her middle, dragging her against him and deepening the kiss. Electricity fizzled around them; the intensity of their connection was palpable. Alex couldn’t have stopped now even if he wanted to. And he’d be damned if she would try to push him away again.

Bianca stifled a moan as Alex’s tongue invaded her mouth. This kiss was hot, frantic. Not slow and gentle like the ones before. Bianca needed this. She wanted to erase the pain she had felt hours before at the possibility of her dreams disintegrating before her. She wanted Alex to help her find solace in their decision, which she was feeling less and less anxious about as their passion ignited. She plunged her hands into his hair, crushing her body against his. The hard length of his erection pressed into her belly and Bianca ached to feel him inside of her.
For a brief moment she pulled back. “Not here,” she breathed, her voice not sounding like her own.
In one swift move Alex lifted her in his arms, barely breaking their kiss. He practically flew up the stairs to her room and she angled her head in the direction of their destination. Without ceremony, Alex tossed Bianca on the bed. She landed softly, feeling empty from his absence. She didn’t have to wait long. Alex covered her with his hard body, pressing her into the mattress. Their mouths sought each other again, their kisses burning with need. Bianca reached for the hem of his shirt, jerking it upwards. Alex took over and tore it away, tossing it to the floor. The rest of their clothes followed suit. Alex tore his jeans down and threw them away with just as much force as his shirt. Before Bianca could move, Alex had her shirt over her head and joining the others on the floor. His frantic hands pulled her leggings off, her underwear with them, and threw them away without a care. Bianca drank in the sight of him, all hard muscles and plains. He wasn’t bulky, but he was strong. Her eyes trailed down his body, from his defined biceps and pecs to his chiseled abs, which she ached to trace her tongue down, following the light colored line of hair to his thick erection. Without thinking, Bianca reached for him, her small hands barely fitting around his girth. Alex moaned with pleasure as she began to move her hands up and down, stroking his silky length.
“If you keep this up, I’ll finish before we even begin,” he growled, gently removing her hands.
Bianca smiled slyly, but let him guide her hands above her head. He pinned her wrists to the pillow with one hand, then lowered his head to her breast. The tiny bud of light brown stood erect as his breath passed over it, her brown skin breaking out in gooseflesh at the action.
“Please, Alex,” Bianca begged, her want for him to touch and lick and fuck her becoming stronger.
