pulsating body.
“Little cries of sensual completion, my foot,“ Colby muttered. “You’re a screamer. You go wild in my arms and you
scream. There’s no other word for it. I’m going to make you scream for me tonight.“
“Are you?“ Diana gave up trying to dissuade him. The feel of him inside her and all along the outside of her was
overwhelming her with excitement. A savage warmth was pouring through her. She was suddenly hot and restless and
full of fire. Deliberately she tightened herself around him.
Colby groaned. “Oh, yeah, honey. That’s what I want.“ He released her wrists and began to thrust slowly in and
out. The muscles bunched in his shoulders as he held himself in check while he waited for her to reach the heights.
Diana wrapped her arms around him, and then she wrapped her legs around his driving thighs. And when he had
finally summoned them forth, Colby drank the feminine screams of release from her lips. An instant later he shouted his
own satisfaction into the darkness.
Floating on the edge of dreamy contentment, Diana smiled to herself as a stray thought drifted through her mind.
This time around everything was different. This time around everything was right.
A long while later Colby stirred in the shadows. “I’ve been thinking. Making some plans.“
“Have you?“ Diana yawned.
“It’s time we made a doctor’s appointment for you. You heard what they said at the clinic when they gave us the
results of your test the other day. We need to get started on a prenatal care program.“
Diana, who had been on the verge of sleep, came awake in a hurry. “I have a gynecologist in Portland. I can make
an appointment with her.“ Diana stared up at the ceiling, feeling rather flustered. So many new things to think about.
So many changes to make in her normal routine.
Colby’s palm settled warmly on Diana’s still flat stomach. “Set it up, and well drive down to Portland to see her. It’ll
give us a nice break.“
“What about your writing? I can drive to Portland by myself.“
“I’ll handle the writing. And I’ll drive you to Portland.“
Diana tried to decide how it felt to have someone else making the decisions. On the one hand, it was an enormous
relief to share the responsibility. But on the other hand, it frightened her to have a man assuming that responsibility for
her. She wasn’t accustomed to having anyone look after her, least of all a man.
“Stop worrying about it, honey,“ Colby said. He sounded amused. “You’ll get used to it.“
“Have you taken up mind reading?“ she demanded.
“No. But at times like this, it’s not hard to figure out what you’re thinking.“
She decided to ignore that. “Maybe it would be a good idea to spend a couple of days in Portland. I could check
with Aaron Crown and talk about going back to work for Carruthers and Yale for a few months.“
“You don’t need to go back to work. You can wait until after the baby arrives.“
“No,“ Diana said firmly. “I want to go back to work while I wait for the baby.“
“Just so long as you remember that you’ve got other priorities in your life now.“
She heard the determination in his voice and decided to try to defuse his new mood with a little teasing. She rolled
onto her side and propped herself up on her elbow to gaze down at him.
“Other priorities?“ Deliberately she drew her nails across his thigh.
It startled her sometimes to see just how quickly Colby could move when he wished. He caught her wrist and
tumbled Diana back down onto her back. Then his strong, hard body was looming over her, blocking out the pale
moonlight. His thumb rubbed the gold ring on her left hand.
“Two other priorities to be precise, Madam Executive. Me and the baby. And I’m not going to let you forget either
of us.“
“How could I?“ she asked softly just before his mouth captured hers.
