“Oh, I know but you know how forgetful I can be,” she forced a small laugh and waved a dismissive hand in the air.
Alex looked at her strangely. Bianca was not a good liar and she could tell he knew she was making it up. He couldn’t find out about the pregnancy now. Not when he was so disappointed about his investment falling through. He would resent Bianca for saddling him with a baby before his ducks were in a row.
“Bianca, what’s in the bag?” Alex asked moving toward her to grab for the bag.
“It’s nothing really. Let’s forget about it. I want to hear about Chicago,” Bianca placed a hand on his arm and tried to steer him toward the living room.
Alex scowled at her and moved out of her grasp. Before she could protest again he was holding the bag.
“Alex, please. Now is not the time.” Bianca pleaded, reaching for the bag.
By the time Bianca lunged forward to grab the bag, Alex had already reached inside and pulled the pregnancy test out.
“What’s this?” Alex asked with confusion.
“Alex, I’m sorry…”
Alex cut her off before she could finish her thought. “Bianca, are you pregnant?”
Chapter 7
Bianca looked down at her hands, delaying her answer.
“Bianca?” Alex asked more urgently.
She gave a small nod unsure of what to say to him. The tone of his voice made her feel uncertainty about his mood. Not wanting to look up and see the disappointment on his face, Bianca continued to stare at her hands. They both knew a positive test was a possibility after they agreed to try for a baby. But Bianca could sense that Alex wasn’t ready. Especially since his business deal fell through. Tears burned the backs of her eye lids and Bianca blinked them back. She felt stupid for getting so emotional. Wasn’t it just a month ago that she was planning on going to a sperm bank? This was different though. She was in love with Alex. The thought caught her by surprise and her head snapped up. Bianca looked deep into Alex’s eyes trying to read his mood. That was the first time she had allowed herself to even think about loving him. What she found when she looked into the depths of Alex’s stormy blue eyes wasn’t anger or even disappointment but lust and passion. Bianca looked at him with confusion. His voice told her he was nervous but his eyes told her something else. Was he happy about her revelation?
“Yes, Alex.” Bianca finally found her voice, although the lump in her throat made it waver. “We’re going to have a baby.”
Alex smiled; the kind of genuine smile that reached all the way to his eyes. Bianca’s heart stopped pounding and she exhaled with relief. He wasn’t angry at all, just surprised. Without warning, Alex closed the space between them and crushed his lips against hers. He pulled her against his rock solid chest, and Bianca had no choice but to wrap her arms around his neck to keep her balance. His kiss was urgent and needy and Bianca opened her mouth to meet his pace as his tongue pushed between her lips. She missed him so much while he was gone and her kisses were just as desperate in return. Before they went any further, Alex scooped Bianca up in his arms and headed upstairs, taking the stairs two at a time. She would have been nervous had he not been a soldier. He placed her gently on the bed and began to undress her, tossing aside her t-shirt and yoga pants quickly and then shed his clothes just as fast. Alex
settled back on top of Bianca and she moaned in anticipation just before their lips met. This time Alex’s kiss was soft and gentle. He feathered kisses along her neck and down to her breasts, taking the hard tip of her nipple into his mouth. Bianca groaned again as Alex ground his teeth against her nipple gently. Her back arched off of the bed and she wrapped her legs high around his waist, begging him to enter her. Alex pulled back, a look of mischief crossing his face. Bianca wasn’t in the mood for games, she just wanted Alex inside of her, now.
“Please, Alex, I need you now.” She begged, thrusting her hips to meet him.
Alex shook his head, gently pushing her back to the mattress and untangling her legs from his waist. He feathered kisses down her chest and stomach, pressing a firm kiss to her lower abdomen. Bianca pushed back the tears that came to her eyes at the gesture and tried to stay in the moment. She quickly forgot all about it, however, when Alex spread her legs wide and pressed a firm kiss to her center. Whimpering with need, Bianca was unable to control the thrust of her hips. Alex growled at her impatience and dipped his head again, running his tongue up the seam of her pussy and stopping at her clit.
He pulled back. “Damn, Bianca, you’re so wet,” he growled, dipping his head again.
This time he began to devour her as if he couldn’t get enough; licking and sucking until Bianca was panting with the need to come. His tongue moved in and out of her pussy, lapping up every last bit of her arousal. The pleasure built and Bianca felt as if she would fly to pieces as the orgasm hit her. Her muscles clenched around his invading tongue but Alex didn’t stop.
“Alex, please,” She pleaded again as he pushed his tongue in and out, stopping every few seconds to lick a path up to her clit.
The pleasure was too much and the second orgasm tore through her with a force she had never felt before. Bianca screamed Alex’s name and collapsed on the bed. Before she could recover he was on top of her, the thick length of his erection pushing at the seam of her pussy. She wanted to wrap her legs around him and guide him in, but she was too spent from the back to back orgasms to move. As if reading her mind, Alex grabbed Bianca’s legs and hitched them up to his waist just before he plunged into her. Bianca cried out again, the mix of pleasure and pain taking her by surprise. God, it felt so good. Alex plunged into her again and again, hitting her g-spot with just the right amount of pressure while Bianca brought her hips up to meet him, thrust for thrust. Soon they found a rhythm and Bianca’s orgasm began to build again while her breathing increased in pace as she anticipated the release. Without warning the orgasm hit, better than the first two and Bianca cried out again, this time it was unintelligible, and she saw stars burst behind her eyes. Bianca sighed, sated, trying to find her breath. Seconds later, Alex picked up the pace, and she felt his dick lengthen. He cried out her name as he found his release and his body collapsed on top of hers.
They were both exhausted and unable to move for several minutes. Alex pressed gentle kisses all along Bianca’s face and neck until they both recovered enough for him to roll off of her. Alex gathered her in his arms, spoon style, still kissing her along her back and neck. Bianca shivered with contentment, his touch always making her want more.
“You better stop that or we may have to have another round,” Bianca said, turning to meet his gaze.
Alex laughed, pressing a chaste peck to her nose. “I wouldn’t mind but I think you need some rest now,” he laid a protective hand on her lower abdomen and rubbed slow circles around it.
Bianca began to tear up again. Damn hormones! Wiping a rogue tear from her cheek she snuggled into Alex. It was all going to be okay, the tension between them that she felt earlier was just her overactive imagination. Several minutes later, Bianca began to drift off to sleep, a smile of happiness on her lips.
*****
Alex woke up the next morning covered in a cold sweat. The nightmare he was just having began to fade into the background; it was just a dream. In the nightmare he had lost Bianca and the baby, they were gone and he couldn’t find them anywhere no matter how much he searched. He didn’t need a PhD in psychology to decipher that one; he was afraid of losing them. Finding an investor for his business was proving to be more difficult than he thought and he was beginning to get discouraged. Running a hand through his shaggy dirty blond hair, Alex climbed from the bed. He had one more option to consider for his business and then he would have to face the facts and look for another civilian job. Sighing with frustration, Alex stepped into the shower. He turned his face up to the spray, praying his new plan would work. If only he could find one other guy to go in on the business with him he knew it would work. Alex jumped as Bianca’s arms suddenly embraced him from behind, he was so lost in his thoughts he didn’t hear her enter the shower.
“Whatever you’re thinking about that put that look on your face, we’ll get through it together, baby,” Bianca whispered, kissing his back.
