head. 
    “I’m not leaving,” he said and crossed his arms over his chest, leaning against the far wall while he waited for Amy to do her thin g, eager to watch once again. 
    It wasn’t sexual when she fed Lilly, but he couldn’t deny that he was eagerly looking forward to seeing Amy’s breasts again.  Even if Lilly was the recipient.  There was just something about it that….well, he couldn’t describe the feeling that shot through him.
    Amy was holding Lilly who knew exactly what came next and was trying to find Amy’s breast.  Amy looked up at Walker, sighed and then sat down in the rocking chair. She grabbed one of Lilly’s blankets though, covering up her face and breasts. 
    Unfortunately, Lilly wasn’t having any of that.  While her mouth latched on to Amy’s breast, her hand moved the blanket away, preferring to look up at her mother while she filled her tummy. 
    Amy tried hard to hold the blanket while glancing occasionally at Walker.  She felt painfully self-conscious when she noticed Walker’s eyes looking at her breast.  She felt her face heat up, then his eyes rose higher.  When he saw her blush, one black eyebrow rose in question, but those firm lips that rarely showed any emotion, quirked up slightly, revealing the extent of his amusement. 
    Thankfully, he didn’t say anything , but his dark eyes continued to hold hers captive.  Amy had trouble breathing, her mind whirling just the way it had so many months ago when he’d looked at her. 
    “You’re more beautiful now,” he finally said.
    She swallowed, not believing him for a moment.  She was exhausted, wasn’t wearing any makeup and hadn’t taken the time to polish her toenails in so long, she wasn’t even sure what they looked like anymore.  Before Lilly, Amy wouldn’t dare to have left the house without her fingernails and toenails painted perfectly.  Oh, the time she’d spent grooming and languishing around, reading the newspaper, or even a book!  Goodness, she’d read so many books. 
    She sighed, remembering all the free time she used to have.  But then she looked down at Lilly and those thoughts disappeared.  Shifting her over to the other side, Amy felt her cheeks turning red again even though she tried hard to quickly close the maternity bra, a.k.a. “the most unsexy piece of underwear ever created”. 
    “What are you going to do today?” she asked, trying to distract him. 
    Walker’s eyes lifted.  Finally!
    He took a deep breath, letting it out slowly as he looked down at Lilly’s black fuzz, all he could see of her face.  “I’m going to find the… person… who is trying to scare you.” he stated. It obviously wasn’t his first choice to describe the worthless waste of oxygen who had been stalking Amy.
    Amy almost laughed at his cleaned up language.  “But how?  What can you do besides wait for the guy to show up or do something?”
    Walker casually shrugged his shoulders, looking down at the two most important people in his life.  “I’ve never been very good at waiting.”
    She shifted slightly and wished she’d kept still because Walker’s eyes dropped once more to her breast and her face felt warm once more.  “He hasn’t really done anything wrong.   Nothing to overtly hurt me.  He just scares me because he’s…”
    “Stalking is a crime, Amy,” he interrupted before her soft heart could defend the bastard who was terrorizing her.  People like that got off on scaring people, thinking it was some warped sense of control or power. 
    She shivered at the threat in his voice and the fury in his eyes.  “But all he’s done is follow me and leave one note on my car.  And I’m pretty sure he could make a case that he just happened to be in the same places as I was all those times.”
    He looked directly at her.  “Do you feel threatened?  Do you feel as if your life is in danger?”
    She thought about that for a long moment, wondering if she was just being silly.
