CHAPTER NINE

GINNY AWAKENED THE next morning with Dom’s arms wrapped around her waist. She squeezed her eyes shut, enjoying the sensation, then told herself she had to get her priorities in line before he woke up.

They hadn’t talked the night before. They’d had an amazing time, but they hadn’t spoken one word. She hadn’t been expecting words of love, but she knew making this marriage real hadn’t been what he wanted. Though she hadn’t actually seduced him, which had been her plan, he could still be upset that he hadn’t been able to resist the temptation of their chemistry.

She opened her eyes to find him staring down at her. “Hey.”

“Hey.” He searched her eyes. “I hope you know what you’re doing.”

And pragmatic Dom was back.

So she smiled at him and stretched up to give him a kiss. “I do.”

“I’m serious about not wanting this to last and about us not getting emotionally involved with each other.”

“I hate to tell you, but I’m pretty sure raising a child together will more than get us emotionally involved.”

“I’m not talking about being friendly. I’m talking about being ridiculously dependent.”

Even as he spoke, he rose from the bed. With the fluidity and ease of a man comfortable with who he was, he stretched and reached for a robe.

She sat up, almost sorry he was covering all those wonderful muscles when he secured the belt around his waist.

He picked up the phone and, without dialing, said, “Bacon, eggs, bagels, croissants, and the usual fruit and juices.”

He hung up the phone and walked into the bathroom.

Ginny stared after him. The man really was accustomed to getting everything he wanted. But constantly seeing the evidence of it was a good reminder that he wasn’t going to be persuaded to do anything, be anything, other than what he wanted.

He came out of the bathroom, took off the robe and to her surprise climbed back into bed. He leaned against the headboard and reached down to catch her shoulders and bring her up beside him.

Bending to kiss her, he said, “We have about ten minutes before breakfast gets here. Any thoughts on what we should do?” The sexy, suggestive tone of his voice told her exactly what he wanted to do.

She laughed. “I think I need to eat and get my strength back.”

He sobered suddenly. “You know, we rarely talk about your pregnancy. Are you okay? Really?”

“Millions of women have babies every day. I’m not special or in danger because I’m pregnant.”

“You’re pregnant with an heir to a throne.” He looked away, then glanced down at her again. “And even if he wasn’t heir to the throne, he’s my baby.”

He said it with such a proprietary air that her heart stuttered and she realized something unexpected. “So, like me, if we hadn’t accidentally gotten pregnant, you wouldn’t have had a child, either.”

“No. A baby was part of the deal with the princess of Grennady. But this is different.”

“I know.” She ran her hand along her tummy, which was no longer flat.
