“I was at the address Jess’ aunt gave me, but no one was there anymore. The landlord said you had moved out, so I took my chances and came here.”

He trailed off as his eyes wandered back to my belly. He didn’t look shocked anymore. His eyes had taken on a spark of wonder.

“That doesn’t ans
wer my question,” I said softly, but with steel in my tone.

I knew why he was here, what he most certainly wanted to tell me, but I wasn’t going to make it easy
for
him. He had kept all this from me and he deserved to squirm a little.
His secrecy had hurt me deeply. Now I let him wonder if they were really his babies. Well, he didn’t yet know that I was having twins.

He cleared his throat again, taking another attempt. “I
wanted
to introduce my brother
, Zach,
to you,” he gestured over to his brother, sitting at the kitchen counter
, who winked at me and then continued his own conversation
, “and to tell you that we took over all the projects the city had issued for
all the other old
districts
as well. We’re going to renovate them all, so no one has to lose their home. Of course, the abandoned buildings, which are already in danger of collapsing, are going to be rebuilt from the ground up.”

He studied me while he talked, waiting for a reaction, but I kept my expression carefully blank. He glanced over to Trevor, who was hugging Jess from behind as she talked animatedly to Zach. With a sigh of relief at their display he turned back to me. He studied my features again, but couldn’t detect any change. Nervously
,
he cleared his throat again before he continued.

“More importantly
,
I came her
e to tell you that I love you a
nd I don’t want to live without you
.
These past few months have been hell for me,” he said before adding
, ”
a
nd I don’t really ca
re whose baby this really is. I’
d want to raise it with you
either way
.”

At those words I couldn’t hold back my tears anymore. I started sobbing uncontrollably. With a look of panic on his face he turned to Jess, but she just waved her hand in a way that suggested he should do something.

He moved over on the couch, unsure about my reaction. He seemed
so
completely helpless as he patted me on the back.

I threw my arms around his neck, conscious of my belly. Through my tears I smiled and whispered in his ear, “I love you.” I paused as he hugged me tightly to him. “And we’re having twins,” I added.

He took in an audible breath and whispered back in a voice filled with wonder and still a little disbelief, “Really?”

I pulled back and nodded at him with a wide
, teary
smile on my face.
“Really.”

He grinned at me his most boyish grin and crushed his mouth to mine. He was going to be a good father, I thought as I melted against him.

As we heard loud whooping and wolf whistling in the background we pulled apart and looked over at my friends and his brother. They were all
grinning
and
seemed genuinely
happy for us.

Ethan turned back to me and asked me the most important question so far,” Will you move back in with me?”

“No, at least not yet
,” I told him.

He looked incredibly disappointed, but the look was quickly wiped off his face again as he was far too elated to let that get to him now.

I brushed my hand against his cheek and made him look up from his exploration of my belly, which felt far too good to do in front of the others.

“Let’s take our time to get to know each other for real this time,” I said softly.

He nodded in agreement. “You’re right.”

An idea struck me. “Why don’t you go on a date tomorrow with me?”

“Yes, of course, whatever you want.”

“We’ll be going shopping for baby stuff since I just found out that I’m carrying twins yesterday
and that means
I need to double up
on
everything.”

He beamed at me elated at the prospect of helping me things out for our babies. I was so happy with his reactions. It could have been so much worse.

He could have completely rejected the babies or demanded a paternity test, but his reactions showed that he trusted me and that was the best gift of all.

“Let’s have a fresh start. No secrets anymore.” I looked at him sharply at my last words.

His eyes softened. “I promise.
I’ve
learned my lesson. I won’t ever keep anything from you again.”

He leaned in and kissed me again. I moaned against his mouth. Since I left him I hadn’t thought about sex for even one second, but now my libido was coming back with full force. I had to gather all my will power to not jump him right there in full view of the others.

I managed to pull back and had to really fight not to dive back in. I leaned in slightly and whispered in a voice I hoped the others couldn’t hear, “I still haven’t thanked you for what you did for me. I want to make up for that now. Come on.”

I took his hand and guided him toward my bedroom
. Even if they hadn’t heard what I had said, now at the latest they had to realize what our plans were.

As if on cue Jess voice piped up, “I think we’re going out for a walk now.”

I was beyond grateful for my best friend wanting to give us privacy.

Another voice said, “
I’ll
see you around, bro.” Zach.

Ethan just waved his hand at him, not acknowledging his brother any further. He kept his eyes glued to my body. His pupils dilated in desire as he let his gaze drift up and down my body, lingering at my slightly distended belly.

I was only half aware that the front door had clicked shut as he picked me up and carried me the rest of the way into my room. He kicke
d the door shut with his foot, th
e
n
carried me over to my old bed and slowly let me slide down to the floor. The
delicious
friction between ou
r
bod
ies made me half crazed with desire.

My breasts grew heavy and my nipples hardened into tight peaks as they were pressed against his hard chest. He leaned down and took my mouth in a passionate kiss that had my toes curling with pleasure. At the same time he let his hands wander over the curves of my body.

I could feel him slowly pulling up the t-shirt I was wearing and running his hands over my belly. I had never known that a belly could be an erogenous zone, but, man, was I getting turned on by it. He paused in his kiss to pull the shirt over my head and toss it aside, and then quickly reclaimed my mouth again.

The hands moved around to my back to undo the clasp of my bra and pushed it slowly off my shoulders and arms. He pulled back again, but my protests stopped as he started exploring the new weight of my breasts. They had grown heavier over the last few months due to the preg
n
ancy. He was
obviously very delighted with their size as he couldn’t seem to pull his attention away from them.

He weighed the girls in his hands and squeezed them probingly. I let out a low moan at his administrations. With a look of sheer delight he leaned down and took one nipple into his mouth. I almost came apart right then. It was heavenly what he did to my body.

Chapter Twenty-Three

I had never reacted so strongly before. It had to have something to do with the pregnancy.
My hormones were playing havoc with my nerves and m
y body was so much more sensitive than ever before. And I enjoyed it immensely.

Ethan licked around my nipple and blew air on it. It made me shiver and gasp. Then he latched on and sucked it into his mouth. His right hand continued to knead the other breast while the left hand had wandered lower to caress my belly.

Sparks were shooting through me now and I could barely hold it in anymore. When he tweaked my other nipple with his fingers I came apart in his arms.

He looked up at me as I came down again, a smile plastered across his face.

“Wipe that smug look off your face,” I commanded.

I tried to glare at him, but couldn’t quite muster it through the afterglow
and the deliriously happy feelings, making my chest grow tight
. He just smiled some more w
hile he finished undressing me.
When I was completely naked he just kept staring at me, letting his gaze wander up and down my body. It lingered for a few seconds on my belly before it moved on, but quickly got right back to it. He seemed like he couldn’t quite get enough of the sight of me pregnant with his babies. I could understand that. I mean, there was another life growing inside of me. If that didn’t count as a miracle, I didn’t know what did.

When it was his turn
to undress
I pushed his hands
away
and made quick work of his clothes
myself
.
First, I unbuttoned his shirt and shoved it over his shoulders, where it fell to the floor in a puddle behind him. Then I got to work on his jeans. The lightest touch over his bulge made him groan low in his throat. Quickly, I unbuttoned and unzipped them and shoved them with his boxer briefs down his legs.

As I stood back up he stepped out of them and kicked
them to the side. Then we were standing before each other, gloriously naked as the day we were born.

Another shiver ran up my spine as I took him in. It had been too long since I had seen his beautiful body. I reached out and gripped his hard arousal in my hand. He groaned in response and enveloped me in his arms. I circled my thumb around the head and used the moisture building at the tip to lubricate my hand. Then I started to stroke him in my fist.

“I’m not going to be able to hold out for long,” he groaned in my ear.

I
leaned in and
kissed his chest and moved over to a nipple, all the while continuing to stroke his shaft. I circled my tongue around the peak and, encouraged by the sounds he made, sucked it into my mouth to have a better taste of him. His skin was salty and sweet at the same time, in a word delicious.

I started to kiss my way down his chest and abdomen to the nest of tight curls between his strong thighs. My mouth watered at the prospect of taking him into my mouth and tasting his hardness on my tongue.

Probingly, I licked over the head, delighted when it drew
such pleasurable sounds from him. Then I became a little bolder and took him into my mouth. It was a tangy and sweet flavor that washed over my tongue.
I was already so incredibly turned on again and bringing him pleasure only made more wetness seep between my own thighs.

I worked him with my mouth and hands, going farther with every bob of my head until the head of his length bumped against the back of my throat. With a shout he came into my mouth, shooting his hot semen onto my tongue.
I sucked at him until his shaft stopped pumping, and then I let him go with a loud pop. I swallowed and made sure to lap up the remaining moisture on his cock.

I had never given a blowjob before, but now I found myself wanting to give him all the pleasure in the world. And even after I had pleasured him with my mouth he was still hard and ready for action.

He helped me to my feet and gave me another heart stopping kiss. Then he picked me up again and laid me down on the bed. He made sure I was comfortable before he knee
le
d in front of me
.

He gave me a wicked grin that made my heart skip a beat in anticipation of what was to come.
He crawled over me and leaned in to massage my breasts, ever careful to keep his weight off my belly. He kissed me on the lips and then slowly trailed them down my throat to my breasts. His hands wandered lower to the swell of my belly and he caressed it lovingly while his lips played with my nipples.

It was such a turn on to see him worshipping my baby belly with such reverence and I was soon squirming underneath him. When I started begging and pleading for more he moved lower with his hands and mouth.

His lips gently kissed circles around my belly button. His hands had much more wicked things in mind, though. I couldn't really see what he
was doing down there, but that only
meant I concentrated on feeling so much more. I felt his fingers grazing over my labia and delve in between.

I jerked off the bed when his thumb slightly moved over my sensitive and swollen nub. His mouth and tongue still played with my belly button while his fingers deliciously massaged the entrance to my core. Now and then his thumb rubbed over my clit, shooting streaks of lighting through my whole body.

My toes curled in pleasure as he slowly started to dip a finger into my tight heat. I moaned and writhed.

"Oh, yes. More," I demanded.

He chuckled, but quickly obliged my plea. He added another finger to the first. I felt so full already, but I knew it was nothing in comparison to his hard length, throbbing inside me. As he let his thumb play with my nub, though, I was a complete goner. He heightened the pressure, with which his thumb circled around my most sensitive area, and pumped a little
faster
with his fingers.
In and out.
