Chapter Four

A couple of hours later, she stared at her reflection in the mirror in the bathroom attached to his bedroom, still not entirely sure how she’d ended up yielding to his demand that she stay with him. She knew it had something to do with his logical arguments, combined with the naked need in his eyes. She had a feeling she’d lost the battle when he had implored her to let him keep her and the babies safe, sensing he needed to have that role. Plus, her own heart was guiding her to this path, despite her brain’s stubborn resistance.

Delaying the inevitable could be put off no longer, so she slipped out of his bathroom and into his bedroom, staring at him warily. “I still think I should sleep on the couch.”

He shook his head, his jaw firmed. “You’re not sleeping on the couch. It’s lumpy and uncomfortable, and you already have a backache. Besides, don’t pregnant women need like ten pillows?”

“Two or three,” she conceded. She arched her brow as she saw him walk to the bed and pull back the sheets and blanket. “Turndown service even, huh?”

He laughed, though his heart didn’t appear to be in an amused place. “Yeah, this is better than the Hilton.”

She approached the bed and slid in, deliberately picking the side he hadn’t folded back for her, though she couldn’t say why. A moment later, she almost bounced out of bed as she scrambled to get up when he laid down beside her. “What are you doing?”

He gave her a look as though she were mentally deficient. “I’m going to bed. What does it look like?”

She glared at him. “It looks like I’m sleeping on the couch then.”

He groaned. “No one is sleeping on that uncomfortable thing. Just go to sleep.”

She started to scramble out of bed, which was more difficult than it should be due to her expanding stomach and slightly clumsy moves these days. She let out a cry of protest when he put his arm around her waist, gently pulling her back against him before clamping her against the heat of his body. “Let me go.”

“Calm down and go to sleep, Jade.” He sounded exhausted, and she certainly was. “You know I’m not going to hurt you, and I promise I won’t touch you in any inappropriate ways until you’re asking me to. Just go to sleep for tonight. You and the babies both need your rest.”

She felt like she should keep protesting, but it was obscenely comfortable in his bed, and she moaned softly when her body sank into the memory foam. It wasn’t unpleasant having his arm around her or his body pressed so close to her own. She decided she was too tired to keep fighting, at least for the moment, and surrendered to sleep before her head was on the pillow.

Sometime in the night, she had rolled over to face him, and she woke with her face pressed against his chest. His hair tickled her nose, and she pulled back slightly, which instinctively caused him to tighten his arms around her.
