under the bridge,” Teddy said.
“The bridge is flooded and the roads are closed,” Zeke said. “Get out of here.”
Teddy nodded. “Okay. I came here to say what I said and I said it. Now I’m going to leave.”
Silas stepped toward Teddy.
Silas wasn’t much taller.
Teddy wasn’t all that old either.
If something were to happen…
“Tell your son if he follows me ever again, it won’t end well,” Silas said. “And, yes, that’s a threat. Feel free to arrest me right now.”
Teddy looked at me. “Take care of yourself, Mila. I remember when Marie was pregnant with the girls. Each time she felt like hell. With Finn… she didn’t feel that much.”
I could have said plenty to that statement but I held back.
Teddy grabbed Finn’s shoulder and they both exited the restaurant.
Silas took a few steps, shaking his head. “I want to knock that asshole out.”
“We all do,” Ma said. “The entire Rohrick family too.”
I grabbed for Silas’s arm. “Hey, calm down.”
He looked at me and shook his head. “How can I? After everything that happened…”
I curled my hands around his shirt and pulled myself to my toes.
“Come here,” I whispered.
Silas bent forward enough so that I could kiss his cheek.
Then I pulled some more.
My lips flirted with his ear. “Stay calm and I’ll reward you later.”
Silas groaned. “You’re really doing this in front of your family, darling?”
“You’re fucking right I am,” I whispered.
I looked at him and smiled.
Silas shook his head.
“Jeez, no wonder you’re pregnant,” Edith said to me. “The way you’re looking at him right now…”
“That’s my daughter you’re talking about,” Ma said.
“She’s right,” I said, looking at Ma.
Ma pointed at Silas. “I would normally say to keep your hands off her, but I guess it’s too late for that now.”
“You know, Mila, I miss when you sang in front of the mirror and only dreamed of being near rock stars,” Tyler said.
Silas slipped an arm around me and I hugged him from the side.
“I should have hit that son of a bitch,” Zeke said out of nowhere.
We all started to laugh.
“What’s so goddamn funny about that?” Zeke asked.
“You couldn’t walk fast enough to catch up to a snail on a skateboard,” Edith said.
“Oh yeah?” Zeke asked. “Why don’t you ask Tyler and Silas how fast I move.”
“You had a hammer,” Tyler said.
I looked up at Silas. “A hammer?”
Silas smiled and kissed my forehead. “Don’t ask, darling… trust me, just don’t ask.”
Chapter Fourteen
SILAS
My hands slid along Mila’s wet skin. Down and around, cupping her ass, as I thrust forward again, feeling her beautiful warmth welcoming me and clenching tight.
Her right hand grabbed at the back of my neck while her left hand was outstretched against the tiled wall.
The hot shower water made us together all that much better.
My lips eased down to her neck.
She put her head back and groaned.
As I kissed down to her chest, I paused for a moment and brought my right hand to her stomach. My hand spread wide, trying to picture what she was going to look like in two weeks. Two months.
I gritted my teeth at the surge of love and protection that went through me.
“What are you doing?” Mila whispered.
I lifted my eyes to hers and smiled. “You’re going to have my baby, darling.”
“Yeah, I am,” she said. “And right now, I would like to have my orgasm.”
She was so bold when she talked like that to me.
After peeling her hand off the tiled wall, she grabbed my ass and groaned.
My right hand moved to her back and I pulled her tight against me.
I held her body and took her pleasure.
Mila rocked her hips against me with a teasing force.
It wasn’t necessarily my plan but fate had a way of making things work…
We came at the same time.
My feet planted firm against the floor and my knees bending just a little as that rush attacked my body just as it attacked hers.
Mila jumped up to her toes, so I just picked her up the rest of the way.
We tried to kiss but she groaned into my mouth as I hissed.
The word intense wasn’t enough to describe what had just happened.
It was more of our minds than just our bodies.
Picturing Mila as a mother. Picturing her belly getting rounder by the week. Picturing us in the middle of the night, exhausted yet smiling as we took care of our baby…
I had no idea what the hell was happening to me with my thoughts.
I continued to hold Mila, easing my body away from hers.
Once I put
