Chapter 21

“You really do live way out in the middle of nowhere,” she remarked as they finally pulled into the underground garage. “Though I suppose where else would you keep a castle?”

Valla smiled at her. “You don’t seem that surprised by it.”

“Well, Cheryl’s let a little slip,” she admitted. “The house was one of those things. It’s as beautiful and as large as she described, so while it’s my first time seeing it, I was kind of prepared.”

“I see.” Valla pondered something for a moment, then spoke again, parking the car while he did. “Did she tell you anything else about us? Or me?”

Liz shrugged. “Not really.”

“Here, let me get that for you,” Valla said, slipping out of the car and rushing around to open the door for her, then extending his hand to help her exit.

“Thank you,” she said with a giggle, stepping as close to Valla as she dared upon standing up.

The big man didn’t move, accepting her presence quietly, though she did feel his hand slide down her back before finding the small of it and staying there.

With a forty-five-minute drive to his place, the mood between them had cooled off, which was only to be expected. Still, Liz had come back with him, and she knew what lay before her, what the two of them were going to do.

What she had yet to figure out, was just why she was doing it. As Valla had said, this was the first she’d actually spent time with the father of her future child. No loud music to shout over to get the drink order right. No slow game of where to put your hands while dancing. No tentative attempts to kiss her in public.

It had all been so nice.

You like him on the dance floor, and you kind of like him off it too. There’s no denying that now, not after one kiss brought you back here.

One kiss, and the memory of the first time she’d slept with Valla. He had been the best she’d ever had, and it wasn’t even close. Now that she was already pregnant with his child, it seemed like not such a big deal to sleep with him again.

Plus, she wanted it. Maybe it was the pregnancy hormones she’d heard so much about, but Liz was practically on fire with a need to have sex. She just knew on a base level, that going home and touching herself wouldn’t cut it. She needed sex.

She needed Valla.

You still know better. You shouldn’t be doing this. It’s giving him more legitimacy to be a part of raising the child than you’re ready to give him yet.

Liz knew that. But she just didn’t care. Not right then, not with the way her body was on fire, every nerve ending on fire, and knowing that nothing but Valla’s soft touch would quench it.

Her hand reached out to press against his chest, index finger digging in ever so slightly.

The tension that had been absent sprang back into existence
