Chapter 7

Pepper stared at the plus sign on the plastic stick as a huge pit opened in her stomach. Her cell phone rang. Ignoring the sound, she bowed her head as the enormity of that plus sign sank in. Pepper was still in the bathroom and her cell phone was on the table where she’d left it when she’d rushed into the bathroom earlier today.

There was no way that she should know that the person calling her now was Dimitri, but she knew. Pepper always knew when he was about to arrive or when he called. There was just something so powerful, so amazingly vital about Dimitri, even with all of his frowns and growls and that rough voice of his. She just knew.

Pepper loved him. Yes, she was fully aware that he’d never wanted anything long term, never indicated that he desired more than just an affair. He’d never said any tender words, even after making love to her with that amazing, powerfully tender way of his that left her breathless and wanting more. Or when he made her scream his name and cling to him with trembling arms. No, he’d never said anything about emotions or long term commitment.

But despite all of that, she loved him so deeply, it scared her sometimes. She loved the way his eyes crinkled when he was amused. She loved the serious intent in his eyes when he was thinking about something, and the way he protectively draped his arm across her shoulders when they walked anywhere.

And he touched her! Goodness, the man was constantly touching her. When they were at a social event, Dimitri kept his hand on her back or her arm, leading her through the other guests or just resting against her as he spoke to a business associate. It was almost as if he needed to connect with her physically and Pepper loved it every time it happened. In truth, she craved his touch! Every time he touched her now, she felt that heat seep through her body. When he touched her, Pepper tended to lean into his hand, almost purring like a kitten.

Even better, he didn’t care that her clothes tended to be a bit outrageous. Nor was he repulsed by the effusive way she attacked life. She loved walking into his office to meet him for lunch, seeing the intensity in his eyes relax as she walked towards him. She loved the way he would push away from whatever he was working on, lean back in his chair and just watch her as she sauntered towards him. She loved the heat that burned in his eyes and the way he automatically reached for her, drawing her onto his lap whenever she rounded his desk to kiss him. She loved…him!

Oh, Pepper wanted to shout at him when he used that autocratic tone of voice. And she constantly had to remind him to be polite when asking her to do something. Yes, Dimitri was dictatorial. But she loved that about him too.
