Chapter Thirteen

Izzy finished settling Archie into his crib for the night, his eyelids already drooping. Good. She needed some baby-free moments, especially when her thoughts kept straying to Nolan, and not the PG kind. She clicked off the light and stayed in the hall, catching the man who dominated her attention in the living room, on his phone. The lamp next to him cast half his face in a shadow, making him look mysterious and sexy.

She had it bad. Always had when it came to this man.

Her conscience warned her not to enter the living room, told her to go to bed alone. Risking her job wasn’t worth it. But she and Nolan weren’t an if; they were a when. If they already risked their jobs due to Archie’s existence, should she have this second moment with him?

Thoughts of her changed body tried to infiltrate her consciousness, but she beat them aside. She’d always have reasons for the worries. She was a mother now. Whether she took this leap now or later wouldn’t change the fact she’d changed.

And Nolan still wanted her like he had before.

Her body practically hummed with that thought, and now her fears morphed to a new one. What if she went off the moment he touched her?

She sauntered into the living room, but his focus remained on his phone. She needed a bold act to make this work. Or an obvious one. Or a really fast one before she went back to the shower for a little self-care.

Nolan glanced up, as if hearing her thoughts. He set his phone down, attention now solely on her. “Archie O.K.?”

She nodded, nerves taking over as though this was her very first time, and she wanted to smack herself. Take what you want, Izzy, it’s here for the taking.

At that, she walked over to him and straddled his lap. Nolan’s eyes darkened as she slid over him, his hungry gaze eating her up. She liked the feel and promise of that reaction, craved more of it. His hands gripped her hips, roaming straight up to her shoulders. That simple touch and she nearly purred and rolled over to expose her belly. “I want you.”

His lips curved up and his fingers trailed down her arms, leaving goose bumps, before he signed, “Same. What do you want?”

She bit her lip and his eyes became black orbs of desire. “Everything.”

He didn’t move, though his Adam’s apple bounced. “Really?”

She didn’t want the questions, didn’t want doubt to slither back in and ruin the moment. She shifted against him, their bodies colliding, until his eyes flickered and the pulse point at his neck intensified. “Yes.”

Nolan kissed her then. Not soft, not gentle. Hard enough that the entire year and a half they’d been apart faded and all concerns vanished. Everything in her tightened and released at once, bringing her closer and closer to that cliff, when they’d done next to nothing yet.

Goodness.

His hands roamed her back, a tame action that contrasted with what his lips were doing.
