for how to decorate
the nursery. Gah, that was another thing she needed to do, make the doctor’s appointment.
She had held off scheduling it, thinking that after she told Erik of the pregnancy
he would want to go with her and find out if the baby was a boy or girl. But she now
knew that was of no interest to him.
How sad was that?
With a sigh, Piper had moved to the kitchen to pour herself some sweet tea when a
knock sounded at the front door. Placing the glass back down on the counter, Piper
made her way down the hall that held pictures of her and her family and friends. When
she came to the foyer, she thought about how she’d like to redecorate this, too—yep,
she needed to let Elli know she definitely was ready to buy this place. The entryway
was still black and purple from when Elli had her Assassins shrine. Yeah, Piper definitely
needed to change that.
Opening the door, she found Erik on the other side, looking down at his phone.
And of course, he looked freaking scrumptious.
His hair was combed to the side and he was wearing preppy shorts and a shirt with
a hot pair of black sunglasses that covered his sexy eyes. When he glanced up at her,
he smiled, sending happy little tingles to the spot between her thighs.
God, he was sexy.
“Hey,” he said.
Piper hesitated, then smiled and moved out of the way for him to enter.
“Hey, come on in.”
“This is a nice place. Really secluded, though,” he said as he walked past her and
into the house. Piper shut the door.
“Yeah, I like it that way. Let’s go into the kitchen, which is straight ahead, then
right,” she said, then followed him down the hall, watching his butt move as he walked.
He had such a fine ass. Solid with muscle, and man, her mouth was starting to water.
Look away, Piper, look away!
Piper shook her head as she glanced up at the ceiling.
“Would you like something to drink?”
“Sure, beer?”
She met his eyes and glared. “I’m pregnant. Why would I have beer?”
Erik looked around awkwardly. “So, no beer?”
She wanted to scream, but instead she said, “No, would you like some tea?”
“Sweet?”
She blinked a few times before saying, “I’m southern. Is there any other kind?”
“I was just making sure you weren’t a weirdo that drank unsweetened tea,” Erik said,
laughing, “but yeah, can I get some of that?”
Piper made her way to the refrigerator and got out the pitcher of fresh sweet sun
tea. It was her favorite, and she hated that she had to watch her caffeine intake
during the pregnancy since too much would not be good for the baby. Pouring a glass
for him and topping her glass off, she suggested they go out on the patio to talk.
The living room was too confining and it wasn’t good to be too close to him. She had
too many memories of being on her couch with Mr. Titov.
Turning with the glasses in her hands, she found Erik watching her with a nervous
look on his face. She paused as their eyes met. It blew her mind that she still had
the same insane feelings for him. Her heart was beating at an erratic pace while her
palms felt sweaty. Her mouth felt dry, but the spot between her thighs was slick and
wet. The worst part about it all was that she swore he could see everything she was
feeling. His eyes were dark with lust as he held her gaze. He was looking at her like
it was a hundred degrees out and she was the sweet sun tea and he was dying of thirst.
She felt like throwing their glasses of tea over her shoulders and attacking him.
Not good.
Suddenly his eyes brightened with knowing, and his lips curved in a mischievous little
grin before he said, “I think we should get married.”
What the …?

Piper was only blinking at him, and it was making him nervous.
Erik had a whole speech planned. It was going to be amazing and he knew he was goingto be able to convince her to marry him with no problem. But that all changed when
she opened
the nursery. Gah, that was another thing she needed to do, make the doctor’s appointment.
