Chapter 17

Gavin

“Pregnant.” I frowned, unable to comprehend what that word met.

As in, pregnant with another man’s child? Or…

“It’s not…” I put a hand on my chest, patting once.

She nodded slowly, looking down at her own hands settled between our stomachs. “It’s yours. I haven’t been with another man since that night.”

That night, six weeks ago. That night I decided I wanted something for the first time, something that might hurt me in the end. The first time I made a decision that wasn’t careful and calculated.

“No…” I shook my head, refusing to believe it. “I used a condom that night.”

“The condom didn’t work, Gavin.” Her lips began to tremble. She was either fighting her tears or fighting a laugh.

Jesus Christ. McKenna was… “Gonna be the mother of my child?”

She stiffened, eyes welling with tears.

I hadn’t meant to say the words out loud. Hell, I should have been shoving her away, fighting this with all I had, because I wasn’t father material, damn it. I couldn’t even take care of Chloe when she was a baby, for fuck’s sake. I was a useless son of a bitch when it came to children, yet somehow I was going to be a dad. Me.

“That’d be me.” She pulled her leg from over my lap, reaching for her dress on the floor.

She met my stare and whispered, “No?”

I shook my head, then I kissed her, harder this time. I expected her to fight me. Push me away and run, but her body instantly relaxed against mine, and we were right back where we’d been. Only this time, things moved faster.

“Need you,” I all but begged. “So much.”

Slowly, I pulled back remembering her comment about her breasts. It made sense now why she’d said they were sensitive, but that didn’t stop me from wanting them in my mouth. Wanting to taste them. So, I lowered my head, taking my time as I held one of them in my hand. Then with the gentlest of licks, I sucked one of her nipples in between my lips, gentle laps of my tongue across the tips. She shivered so hard goose bumps danced across her skin and a soft gasp of pleasure escaped her mouth. I teased and toyed, using my lips to kiss the peak, my tongue to taste the edges. I gave her gentle, because she deserved it.

“That feels so good,” she moaned, encouraging me to pull a little harder, not too hard, but enough to drag out the low noise in her throat.

Slow, steady kisses led me to the other breast, and I used my finger to trail around the same wet tip I’d just teased. Her
