Just a Positive Pregnancy Test - London Casey Page 0,29

her back on her feet, I turned the water off and opened the shower door to get her a towel. I wrapped it around her and cupped my hands to her face.

We looked at each other, water dripping from our hair and face.

She smiled at me and kissed the tip of my nose.

She had a way of doing small things like that to drive me crazy.

Mila exited the shower and I made fists and put them against the wall.

I looked down at my cock as it continued to throb, matching the beating of my heart.

My heart and my cock were nothing but trouble when it came to Mila.

But for once in my life, it was the good kind of trouble.

Mila fell asleep on the couch. Her head on my shoulder.

I had my feet up on the coffee table, not paying attention to anything in the world but Mila.

I could have stayed like that all night, but the way her body was twisted up, I knew she would have woken up the next morning feeling it.

Slowly, I turned and cradled her into my arms. I picked her up and carried her to the bedroom.

Tucking Mila in made me smile.

She was sober. She was beautiful. She was pregnant.

It was a far cry from the wild life on the road, going from bar to bar, city to city and motel to motel.

Even if we were still staying at the inn.

“That’s going to change soon, darling,” I whispered to her.

I kissed her forehead and she groaned.

She turned to her left side and curled up in the covers.

I shut the bedroom door behind me and looked around.

I should have just gone to bed myself, but there was too much on my mind.

I wasn’t the only one up because when I looked at my phone, there was a text message.

From Tyler.

I laughed out loud.

He wanted to talk.

I had no problem calling him. At least over the phone nobody would throw punches.

“Is this a bad time?” Tyler answered the call.

“Not at all,” I said. “I’m used to the rock star life.”

“I bet. I wanted to talk about what you came to my office for.”

“Okay.”

“The money. The papers.”

“You managed to get it all cleaned up from our little scruff?”

“Yeah,” Tyler said. “Are you serious about this, Silas?”

“I’ve never been more serious about anything in my life, Tyler. Your sister deserves a nice house. So does our baby. She can’t live here at the inn forever. She can’t live with your mother.”

“I agree with that.”

“So tell me what the plan is then.”

“Well, like I told you before, the land looks good. It would need some time to get sorted out though. It’s a process and when the Justa last name gets in front of the Lovor last name, it’s never easy.”

“Good thing my last name is Rhodes,” I said.

Tyler laughed. “That’s one hell of a loophole there.”

“What about the house?”

“I checked it out and it’s a nice house,” Tyler said. “I can dig up the history on it if you’d like. I’m sure Zeke knows something or knows someone who knows something. It was built to last forever. Which is good. Now it just needs to be updated. You’re looking at everything though, Silas. Everything from cosmetic shit to stuff like new windows to… electrical and plumbing…”

“Do it,” I said. “Start tomorrow.”

“It’s not that easy.”

“Yeah it is. I’ve got the money. You’ve got the time and company. I don’t see a problem here.”

“So you’re going to buy this house… just like that?”

“Just like that. It’s been sitting for a while. I’m sure it’s tied up in a family estate or something. I’ll pay asking price. No questions asked. Just get me the place.”

“You know how risky that is? You should at least get it looked at. I mean, even for the sake of the-”

“Tyler,” I said. “I know this is your thing to do… you cut down everyone’s hopes. In a good way sometimes. You’re trying to tell me everything that could go wrong. I appreciate it. I know you’re doing it for the sake of your sister and not me.”

“Right,” Tyler said.

“What’s the worst thing that could happen here?” I asked. “The house and project turns to shit? Then you knock the house down and start over.”

“That’s a lot…”

“I already told you, it’s fine. I’m set financially. Your sister has nothing to worry about. I offered her this before everything got crazy. I told her I was going to stay and get us a house. I’m going to
