Elle never asked where Duncan got all of his money, and he never told her. In truth, she didn’t really care, so long as he was able to provide for them. And he was. He went out shopping with her, he helped her clean the house—he did a lot of things with her over the next couple of months, things that men didn’t typically do—at least, men that Elle had known. Elle had never met a man as helpful and considerate as Duncan. Back home, everyone was so overworked and busy that they didn’t have time for one another.

After she finished washing all of the dishes, she leaned back against the wall and watched as Duncan dried each dish and put them in one of the cupboards. His shirt was rolled up to his elbows, which left his tan forearms exposed.

Elle licked her lips, heat tingling through her blood. Her hands lowered to her swollen belly and she drummed her fingers over it. Though the morning sickness and rapid increase in weight hadn’t been fun, the growing amount of lust was tantalizing. Sometimes, all she had to do was look at Duncan, and she would want him. He never had to do anything either. He could be covered in several layers of unflattering clothing, and she was convinced that she would still want him. His big, strong hands on her, his flushed lips kissing her—

“I think you should go see a doctor,” Duncan said.

Elle jumped a little, his words tearing her from her thoughts. As she stared back at him, she realized he had finished putting the dishes away moments ago, and he was now looking at her with tension in his shoulders.

“Why?” she asked. “I feel fine.”

“Good, good. That’s good.” He scratched the back of his neck, his gaze lowering to her stomach. “I just…I want to make sure that you are fine. I want to make sure that everything is…normal with the baby.”

She gave him a sympathetic smile. “Darling, there’s not much the doctor can do right now.”

Duncan was still staring at her stomach, fear in his expression.

Elle frowned, her concern growing. “Duncan, what is it? Really?”

He blew out a haggard breath. When he looked back up at her, he was wincing. “Don’t get mad, alright? But when I was little, I remember my ma being pregnant with my baby brother, and she didn’t…grow as fast as you are. I’m worried that there…” He rubbed at his face.

Perplexed, Elle blinked at him for several seconds. It wasn’t until he glanced down at her stomach again did it all click for her, and she went cold. Her fingers froze over her stomach and her eyes widened.

He thought she was only two months pregnant when in fact she was probably five months pregnant…maybe six. She was a lot bigger than what he was probably expecting.

Elle nearly swore, panic bursting through her. She hadn’t thought this through—hadn’t done the math. God, what Duncan must be thinking right now.

She had to force herself to breathe, her fear overwhelming her.
