Chapter Eleven

Jessica Bright smiled a greeting as she opened the screen door for Lydia and Emma as they came up the steps of the Carlisles’ remote cabin. Tank waved at her from the helicopter as the blades slowed. Her eyes lingered on them long enough to see Tank say something to Troy that made him look directly at her and smile. She’d hoped that perhaps Val and Ransome might visit but noticed no other men were with them.

Heat filled her cheeks and she felt more rotund and hippo-like by the second. It seemed like every guy she’d encountered lately was hunky, gorgeous, and available, and Tank and Troy weren’t even the ones uppermost in her mind lately.

It was the pregnancy hormones, she was sure. Her moods and her cravings and even her dreams seemed to belong to someone else. Not her. She’d never been the oversexed type. And given what she’d been through, she knew a normal reaction would’ve been to swear off men completely. But it was undeniable, she couldn’t think about Val and Ransome without feeling like she was in a heat wave. Lust in the late stages of pregnancy wasn’t uncommon and being unfulfilled probably made it worse.

“You okay?” Lydia asked as she and Emma came in the door.

Jessica still couldn’t believe how fortunate she’d been when she’d asked Val and his equally handsome cousin Ransome for help. That one call had led her to so many wonderful new acquaintances, like Justin and his wife Charity, Grace and her men, and Lydia and her men, and they’d welcomed her into their world with open arms. They’d been instrumental in helping her healing process, both by saving her in the first place but also by helping her find a safe place as she waited for the baby to arrive, and for Trevor Dornan to hopefully be recaptured. She knew she was experiencing a healthy dose of hero worship but just thinking about Val and Ransome made her heart do flips.

“Earth to Jessica?” Emma called softly with a giggle.

Jessica chuckled and put her hand over her bulging middle and shook her head. “Sorry, I’m blaming it on mommy-brain.”

Emma smiled as she put down her bag and said, “That’s understandable. You’ve got a lot on your plate right now. How have you been feeling?”

Jessica went to the divan Emma directed her to. “Fine. I’m staying busy.” That was true enough. She had some projects that had kept her hands busy and plenty of reading materials, as well as a journal she was keeping for her baby. At night the cabin was a little lonely and she’d wished that she was closer to wherever Val and Ransome were, but she understood the necessity of it.

Emma held the stethoscope to her heart and then checked the baby. “Busy worrying? Your heart rate is elevated.”

Jessica chuckled nervously and Lydia sat down beside her. “I’ll bet I know what got her heart going.”

“You do?” Jessica asked nervously.

“It’s those two redheaded hunks out there, isn’t
