support. Reassured me.
“I’ll have the bellhop take the bags to our rooms. We need to discuss what’s going to happen again over a quick lunch. You all go ahead. Get Kelly out of the sun.” Jensen seemed concerned about me. “They have a nice restaurant and it’s usually quiet. I stay here when I’m visiting our Atlanta firm.”
“Sounds good, but make sure they place Kelly’s bags in my room. She’ll be staying with me. That’s protected information under the attorney client privilege, okay?” Bradley smirked.
“Got it.” Jensen winked back at us.
Oh, great. Nothing like broadcasting that we’re going to be sleeping together later. But I really couldn’t think about that now. I needed to focus on the matters at hand. Getting out from under Joe’s control once and for all, not about having sex with Bradley. God, could my day be anymore mixed up?
Bradley led me into the hotel. It had a beautiful lobby with shining marble and sparkling crystal light fixtures everywhere. There was a restaurant off to the sid e and we made our way toward it, walking together side by side. It felt like we were one and the same. A united front. I looked up at his face to find him gazing at me lovingly. His love was really all I needed today when it came down to it.
There was definitely something about this moment. It shook me. Woke me up and made me realize what was important. Bradley. My future and the baby. Until now, I’d lived my life on “what if’s.” Afraid to leave Joe. Paralyzed by fear. I was sick of being weak, so it was time to change, starting now. Somewhere I had the strength to fight this cruel man and I wasn’t alone this time. I had the love of a beautiful man standing beside. As beautiful inside as out.
“You know what , Bradley?” I had his attention now. “I can do this, we can. No matter what happens, at the end of the day I have you. I can’t ask for anything more.”
Suddenly , I found myself pulled to the side in a corner next to some big tropical plant. With Bradley in front of me, I was likely hidden from view, which was good because the next thing I knew his lips were all over me. Kissing my face, behind my ear, and up and down my neck. Oh good God, his lips on my neck. I hadn’t felt them there in years. It was so intense. He had just a touch of scruff that tickled my skin. I was getting so worked up and felt hot all over. My knees wobbled as he made his way back up to my mouth. His arms were the only things supporting me. I can’t believe how just a few kisses made me go mad. I’d probably combust later tonight.
His lips left mine and I moaned in protest. He cupped my fac e with his hands, holding me tenderly, preciously. Our eyes gazed into one another’s. Words of love didn’t need to be spoken because they were felt somewhere deep down inside. God, how I loved this man.
“I’m tempted to tell J ensen we’re skipping lunch. Dammit, having you in my arms, kissing you, it’s maddening.” Bradley’s hands left my face and moved to my waist, what little waist I had at seven months pregnant.
“I know, but we have so much riding on today. We need to keep our heads on straight and not get swept away. It’s like we’re teenagers again.” I giggled and leaned into him, laying my head on his chest.
“You’re right but it’s tempting knowing we have a bed somewhere upstairs just waiting for us to ruffle it up.”
Bradley hugged me quickly then led me into the restaurant. We entered just as Jensen arrived too. His eyebrows rose when he saw us. My face felt flushed and I’m sure I looked a bit dazed too. He was a smart man so I’m sure he figured out what we’d just been doing.
“You two need to get a room.” Jensen joked. Who knew he had such a sense of humor? He’d been Mr. Play Hardball for weeks.
“Got one for later thanks, ” Bradley quipped back.
All I could do was roll my eyes as we followed the hostess to our table. Jensen had asked for a something
