wasn’t kidding.”
Josephine nodded. “You didn’t come.”
William felt a huge grin cross his face. Increasing the pace of his leisurely thrusts, he felt an insane pride in the fact he could bring Josephine to climax multiple times and barely break a sweat.
“I will this time.” He promised.
That time, like he promised, they both cried out in passion, both shuddered in ecstasy, and William felt his seed shoot hot and deep inside his mate, bathing her in his essence.
As he slowly came down from the high, gently returned to earth, he snuggled closer to his mate. She carried his babies, and he knew he would protect her from whatever had happened in Seattle, whatever it was she was running from.
Wrapped tightly around her, William tried to “see” his children, but failed. He smiled slightly as he thought that maybe Fate wanted to surprise him with his sons. As they lay entwined in his big bed together, William decided as he had now shared his secret, it was time for Josephine to share some of her own secrets.
“Josie,” he started, hesitantly, kissing her nape again. “Josie, what happened out in Seattle? Why are you running?”
When she gave him no response, he tightened his embrace slightly.
“You can tell me, love, I promise.”
When William felt the deep, even breaths puffing from her lungs, he sighed. Ordinarily, the thought of bringing a woman to climax so forcefully and completely that she fell asleep from exhaustion was a calming balm to his male ego. Tonight, however, it was a pity. He really wanted to talk to Josephine about that warrant.
Wrapping her thoroughly in his embrace, determined she would not be able to leave in the morning without a backward glance, William settled himself deeper under the bedspread.
Tomorrow would be soon enough to talk about her problems.
Chapter Six
Josephine woke up with sunlight shining down on her face. As she looked around the unfamiliar room, she felt the warm, secure presence of William’s body wrapped tightly around her. Nestling back against his warm body, she blinked and placed her hands protectively over her babies. Their babies . She had to keep reminding herself they were no longer merely hers. She would be sharing much of them with William.
For the first time in months, Josephine entertained the fantasy that she and William could raise the children together, happy and secure. Maybe if she simply ignored the problems back in Seattle she could truly try to start over again. Remembering that William was a cop, Josephine winced.
She doubted she could hide forever. While it had been difficult up until now, she had only had herself to hide, to protect. It would be near impossible to hide with two little children. She would have to use her real name on the birth certificates, which would bring Mason and Wells, as well as the Seattle police, crashing down on her head.
Her life was becoming more and more complicated. William stirred next to her, pulling her closer into his embrace, and began to nuzzle her neck. Wriggling, she turned around to face him.
With his hair all mussed by sleep, even straggling all over the pillow and probably knotted down his back, he still stole her breath away with his handsomeness. With his deep blue eyes staring solemnly down at her, she drowned in their sensual depths. In that moment, Josephine forgot all about the time she spent hiding and running, the fear and constant worrying she had faced. Only William, his perfect, broad chest and his smiling face waking up next to hers, mattered.
Josephine crept closer to him, until her large belly rested against his flat stomach. Reaching over, she grabbed both of his large hands in hers, and pressed them gently over her stomach.
“They’re more active first thing in the morning. Originally, before I could feel them moving about and kicking me, it was the morning sickness.”
Josephine grinned sheepishly at his shocked, worried expression.
“Were you badly
