    “I just had a bad
dream.”
    “It must have
been one heck of a bad dream, Amber. Come on now. It’s me you’re talking to.”
    “I know.”
    Amber shared some
parts of the dream, so grateful that she was able to get it off her chest and
talk about her fears, her guilt over surviving the accident and wanting so
badly to be a good mother to her little girl.
    “You’ll make the perfect
mother, Amber,” he told her as he stroked her hair as she laid on the couch
curled up into him. She enjoyed the warmth of his firm body as her head rested
on his chest. His heartbeat was strong and steady. Oh, heavens.
    Amber and Jules,
like old times, watched a rerun episode of Dancing with the Stars. She didn’t
know when but she dozed off for a moment then re-awakened, still in his arms
feeling loved. Cared for.
    The fact that she
could call Jules any time of the night and he didn’t mind spoke volumes about
the type of chemistry they had. Amber was aware when you found someone who
connected to you so well, you didn’t take it for granted, you cherished it and nurtured it.
    Did Jules want to
take another chance on her? She noticed he was trying to get close to her but
he wasn’t as flirtatious as he’d been in the past but that was probably because
of her pregnancy. Most men were cautious around a woman who was expecting. Some
women had sexy hormones rushing through their bodies, while others wanted
nothing more to do with sex, until after the baby was born.
    Hot damn! Jules
looked so good in his half open shirt, his sexy stubble on his chin and those
muscular arms of his. Right now, Amber could think of nothing else but to have Jules
make love to her—for their first time. She wondered what that would be
like. Her heart raced like mad in her chest as she visualized his strong, soft
hands caressing her body as he made sweet, passionate love to her.
    Stop it, Amber. It’s not gonna happen, remember? Men are no longer part of
your emotional budget. It’s just too costly to enter into a relationship again.
    Still, Amber
couldn’t help gravitating towards Jules. And judging by his physique and the
sweet memory of his incredible kiss when they had dated in the past, she was
filled with all kinds of delicious images of what it would be like to make love
to him. That was assuming if he would
ever make love to her. The man was hot though. Even though it could never lead
to anything more than physical. If it ever happened.
    Jules was probably
just there beside her for pity’s sake.   She prayed that was not the case. Still, Amber
wanted to savor the moment because life was about
precious moments and this one with Jules was one she would deposit to her
treasure trove of precious memories to never be forgotten.
    She wished things
had been so different between them. She loved her unborn baby, however, it had
always been her dream to have a baby in wedlock. Her father, who died in that
horrible crash, had not been her biological father and for some time before her
parents’ deaths, she was often called a bastard at the school
by those who knew her parents and were aware of the truth . She didn’t
want her child to have to go through that. Not that it should matter these
days. But oh, how painful it would be to not be married when she delivered her
child into the world. Her heart sank at the feeling that it may never happen
the way she planned. Yes, Amber wished everything had turned out differently. But
the last thing she wanted to do was to spoil everything that Jules restarted
between them.
    Besides, she
could not really cope with any sort of intimacy right now.
    Jules and Amber fell
asleep but before long Jules woke up. She felt the soft touch of his lips on
her forehead as she nestled on his chest. Her heart fluttered. She felt a
tingling sensation between her thighs for the first time since she got
pregnant. She couldn’t help but smile widely. She tilted her head up to his and
looked into his beautiful dark
