spread slowly across his face, and it made my knees weak. I had to wonder if our child would take after him. Would it have his same crooked grin, or those kind, keen eyes? If it was a boy, would he have his rugged, chiseled features? Or would our child take after my side of the family?
A chill ran through my spine as I thought about that possibility. What if our child took after my father instead? I pushed the idea out of my head. It’s nurture, Emilia. Not nature. Just because he or she shared DNA with my father didn’t mean much.
My hand rested protectively on my belly without even thinking about.
“Are you feeling okay?” he asked, noticing the gesture.
“Yeah, I think…” I dropped my hand. “I think I might just need to lie down a bit.”
“Of course. You’ve been through a lot.”
I nodded and bit my lip, staring at the ground as I asked my next question. “Do you think you could join me?”
“I wouldn’t dream of leaving you alone. Not right now.”
“Thank you, Graham,” I said gratefully, turning my eyes up to meet his gaze. Without even thinking, I stood on my tiptoes and pressed my lips against his. His beard scratched my face, but instead of it being uncomfortable, I felt soothed.
I was calmer with Graham around, and right now, I needed calm.
“Right this way,” he said, leading me to his room.
Even in the midst of the chaos, all I could think about was the way his hands felt on my body.
I followed Graham to his bedroom. I hesitated for only a second before stripping out of my pants, leaving just my panties and my shirt, and fell into the bed. He joined me, and I curled into him. I pulled my knees upward in a fetal position, nestled tightly against him. His strong arms were wrapped around me as he kissed the top of my head and stroked my hair.
“I’m not going to let anything happen to you, Emmy,” he whispered softly, his warm breath comforting. “No one is ever going to hurt you, darlin’. I can promise you that.”
My eyes felt heavy, and before long, I fell asleep against him - safe, warm, and knowing he would protect us both.
Ooo000ooo
My eyes fluttered awake. My arm was numb, and my leg was hurting from laying in one position too long. “How long have I been asleep?” I muttered.
Graham looked at the clock near his bed. “A couple hours.”
“A couple hours?” I said as I yawned. “I must have been exhausted.”
“Well, considering everything you’re dealing with—”
“I know, I know, it’s justified,” I said softly.
I stretched my legs out and rolled over on my back. Graham wrapped himself around me, and I rolled fully over, little spoon to his big one. I was so tiny against him; his entire body wrapped around me. It might have felt stifling had it been anyone other than Graham, but with him, it was just what I needed.
I adjusted myself, my ass pressing against him, and I felt his member poking me. I couldn’t help but let out a girlish giggle. “Seems like someone is happy to see me.”
Graham quickly adjusted, pulling away from me slightly. “I’m sorry. I can’t help it, but I know it’s not the right time.”
I backed my ass back up against him again, rubbing against his erection. “It’s okay, Graham. I could use a little distraction right now.”
He didn’t respond with words; he pushed my hair aside, and his lips met the flesh of my neck. A warmth coursed through my body, and I wiggled against him, pressing myself firmly against his hard on.
“Take off your pants,” I whispered.
I could feel his hands fumbling with the buttons, then the familiar sound of the zipper. My body ached with anticipation.
I didn’t have to worry about my panties - Graham took control of that as well. His strong hands pulled them down just enough for my bare ass to press against his hard cock. I closed my eyes and let out a little sigh as I rubbed against him.
Graham placed his hands on my hips, holding me in place as he thrust into me from behind. I cried out as he filled me, his hard body pressed into my back, wrapping around me was perfect.
He moved slowly at first, sliding inside me and letting me savor the feeling of being completely filled to the brim. Then he’d withdraw completely before slipping back into me again. He kissed the
