Her Asian Billionaire: A BWAM Pregnancy Love Story (12 page)

“I
think we should have all we can eat Fridays,” Rosa said to him
as they sat inside the office. It was almost noon and he was doing
the accounting and she had just returned from checking that the
tables were ready for the lunch crowd. They had hired two waitresses
and a waiter and also a bus boy. It was a Thursday and the place was
not very busy. They had a business luncheon book for Friday and they
were busy sorting out what to prepare for the over one hundred people
they would be serving. John had been doing the rounds of the business
places and had gotten a number of businesses from them. Rosa had
discovered that he was quite a methodical planner and was very good
at getting things done. Her idea of a small restaurant was quickly
flying out the window. The business was growing fast.

“Don’t
you think we already have our hands full?” he looked up at her
curiously, putting away the book and giving her his full attention.
She was wearing black wool pants and a bright pink blouse that made
her look like a pregnant teenager. Her hair had grown longer since
her pregnancy and instead of her usual corkscrew curls she had done
some big braids that went past her shoulders. She had that pregnancy
glow that added to her beauty.

She
eased into her chair and eased off her loafers. Her feet were a
little swollen and she was feeling a little drained.

He
immediately pulled the chair in front of her and took her feet into
his hands to rub them. She sighed as he worked his magic and felt the
swelling start to ease. “Oh, you mean with all the business
lunches you have been booking?” she teased him as he massaged
her feet gently.

“Exactly,”
he told her with a grin. “But we can always discuss it. In the
meantime my parents have decided to send most of their business
associates here from out of town for lunch or dinner.”

Rosa
looked at him her eyebrows raised in surprise. She had not thought
about his parents since she had been to see them several months ago
and she did not know that they were in touch. “You spoke to
your parents?”

“Mother
called me yesterday just to find out how things were going and Father
said he would be sending business our way.” John told her with
a shrug. He had been surprised to hear from them as well and even
more surprised to know that they had been keeping tabs on them. “I
was planning on telling you.” He reassured her. They had made a
vow never to keep anything from each other, no matter what.

“That’s
great!” Rosa said; her eyes lighting up and pulling her feet
away from him, she pulled her chair closer to his. “Does that
mean they are coming around?”

“Don’t
get your hopes up baby,” he told her softly, laying a hand
against her soft cheek. “My father is a businessman first and
foremost and it simply means that he has checked the place out and
realized that it’s a good business deal.”

“Oh,”
Rosa’s eyes clouded in disappointment. Even though she had told
herself and him that it did not matter that they were not in their
lives and would not be a part of their grandchild’s growing up
she had hoped they would come around. After all, what grand parents
would not welcome the arrival of their first grandchild? Her mother
was so excited that she had gone and done enough shopping to keep the
kid in clothes for a month. “I was just hoping…”
her voice trailed off and John felt the anger inside him as he saw
the expression on her face. He never wanted anyone to hurt her and to
think that it was his own parents who were doing so made him want to
lash out at them; at anyone who try to hurt her.

He
pulled her up out of her chair and held her arms. “Listen to
me!” he said urgently. “I am here and we are a family and
I promise that I will never hurt you. I can’t force my parents
to accept you or our baby but please don’t let that get in the
way of us being happy Rosa, I won’t allow it. Please baby; tell
me that you are okay with the way things are.”

She
reached up and cupped his face, trying to ease away the anxiety. She
was an idiot for letting how much his parent’s acceptance meant
to her but she also wanted it for him as well. “You and our
baby are my family and I want you to always remember that.” She
told him softly. “I am happy the way things are but that does
not stop me from hoping that your parents will want to get to know
their grandchild eventually.”

“Are
you sure?” he lifted her chin to stare at her.

“I
am sure,” she told him, running a finger over his lips. He
caught her finger inside his mouth and sucked on it. Rosa felt desire
slowly coming alive inside her and she moaned as he released her
finger and pulled her closer to him, capturing her mouth with his,
their tongue meeting together in a kiss designed to feed their
desire. It was the ringing of the telephone that broke through their
fog of their desire and with a frustrated groan John put her away
from him and reached a trembling hand for the instrument.

Rosa sat
back down, her feet trembling; her lips throbbing as she waited for
him to finish the call.

“That
was Michael with the vegetable delivery,” he told her as he
hung up from the call. “He is all out of fresh lettuce and
celery so we will have to find another source and fast. I was
thinking we could get your mother to expand her business and start
supplying us with her organic produce as well as making her delicious
fried chicken.”

“I
think it’s a great idea!” Rosa told him, her eyes glowing
as she stood and hugged him.”I will break the news to her right
now!”

“I
hate shopping!” Rosa said in resentment. She was with Hayley
and her mother and they had come for her at the restaurant because
she had kept putting off going shopping for the baby. John had been
decorating the nursery with little or no help from her because she
had told him that she was hopeless in telling one end of a fabric
from the other. They were having a boy so John had gone all out in
decorating the room for his son whom he claimed will be a football
player as well as an expert in Chinese art.

Her
mother and Hayley had already done their own individual shopping but
she had yet to make a contribution and John had told her sternly that
she had the rest of the day off to sort things out and he did not
expect to see her back at the restaurant, he would see her when he
got home.

“We
know that’s why we are with you.” Her mother told her
soothingly, patting her daughter’s back.

They
were in a baby store and Hayley was pushing a cart that was already
overflowing with clothes, stuffed toys and blankets. She was reminded
that she was almost eight months pregnant and she need to have
everything ready in case the baby came a bit earlier than expected.

Just
when she thought they had bought out the entire store Hayley
abandoned the cart in the middle of the store and ran into one of the
aisles to pick up a cute stuffed monkey that she swore her God son
would get a kick out of.

It was
after six before they finished everything and got something to eat.
They took a cab and went to the apartment she shared with her
husband; not allowing Rosa to carry anything much. Her mother went
into the kitchen to put on a pot of tea and insisted that Rosa sit
and put her feet up.

“I
can’t wait for this baby to get out of me,” Rosa said
with a sigh, accepting the cup of tea her mother had brought her
gratefully.

“You
will not remember this moment as soon as you hold that precious baby
in your arms,” Joan Hurley told her with a gentle smile. “I
remembered the minute the nurse placed you in my arms, I never
thought I could love someone as much as I loved you. I kept thinking
that such a tiny person could not possibly hold the string of my
heart but I was wrong and I did not want to give you back to the
nurse and to your daddy even though I was so tired.”

“Because
I was so adorable?” Rosa said cheekily.

“You
go on,” her mother patted her hand fondly as Hayley laughed. “I
spent that night nursing you and gazing at you in fascination and I
could not get enough of you. Your poor daddy felt so neglected that
he started complaining.”

“I
can’t wait to get one of my own,” Hayley said with a
sigh. “If only I can tie down that husband of mine in one place
long enough for him to plant one inside me.”

“Enjoy
the freedom while you can,” Rosa told her dryly.

They
finished the tea and went inside the nursery to admire what John had
done with the room. “My husband’s artistic talent coming
to the fore,” Rosa said with an indulgent smile.

The room
was done in the very lightest blue, like the sky after the rain and
there were Chinese murals on one of the walls and pictures of famous
football players on another. He had put up beautiful blue and white
borders with wall paper that had pictures of monkeys and bears in
various forms of play. He had also set up the crib, a rich brown
mahogany with a mobile suspended above it that played classical
music. There was a rocker, a changing table and a dressing table to
hold the baby’s clothes.

“My
word, your husband went all out,” Hayley breathed in
admiration, looking around the room.

“You
got yourself a good man there honey,” her mother said with a
shake of her head.

“I
know mama,” Rosa agreed.

*****

When he
came home that night she was in the nursery, sitting in the rocker
folding some of the cute little onesies with the intention of putting
them away in the drawers. Her mother and Hayley had left an hour ago
but she had stayed in the room, just sitting there and visualizing
herself feeding her baby or rocking him to sleep.

“Hey,
what are you doing?” he asked her softly, crouching down in
front of her and peering at her in concern. The room was dark, only
the sliver of light from the hallway coming through. He had wanted to
leave the restaurant earlier to come home to her but during the last
hour it had gotten extremely busy.

“Do
you think I will make a good mother?” she asked him.

“I
think you are going to be the greatest mother ever,” he told
her softly, pulling her up as he stood. “Have you eaten?”
He had brought her home some chicken just in case, even though he
knew her mother would make sure she ate.

“I
did, stop worrying,” she held his head between her hands. “I
love you so much do you know that?” she asked him.

“I
know,” he told her huskily. “I was dying to come home to
you and almost wished I had not encouraged you to take the time off,
the place was not the same without you there telling me and everyone
else what to do.” He said with an indulgent smile.

“Like
you or anyone else listens to me,” she grumbled.

“We
do,” he laughed. “I love you Rosa Yang,” he
whispered, bending his head to take her mouth in a gentle kiss. Her
arms slid around his neck and she returned the kiss hungrily, moving
closer as far as her extended stomach would allow her.

“Let’s
go to bed,” he murmured. “But first I want to give you a
bath.”

He made
her sit on the toilet seat and wait until he drew a bath. He had lit
candles all around the surface and poured bath salts and oils in the
running water. He selected the right temperature and then when he was
satisfied, he came over and gently took off her clothes and then his
and helped her into the oversized tub.

“This
feels great,” she said with a sigh as the suds swirled around
her.

He used
the sponge to bathe her, gently lingering on her breasts which had
become incredibly sensitive since her pregnancy. Rosa gasped as he
ran the sponge over the nipples, John bent his head and took one
inside his mouth and pulled it between his teeth, his tongue going
over it slowly. Rosa gripped his hair and arched her back as he
continued to pull and suck on the hardened pebbles. He switched to
the next one, his hand with the sponge reaching under the water to
stroke her, moving the sponge and easing it inside her, rubbing it up
and down her. “John,” she said hoarsely, moving in the
water restlessly.

He
released her breast and using his fingers he spread the lips of her
vagina and moved inside her letting the water act as a lubricant as
he slid his fingers in and out of her, his eyes on hers watching her
reaction. Rosa was in a frenzy. “Please!” she gasped,
reaching for his hand buried inside her.

“Let
me love you,” he whispered. He helped her up and they stepped
out of the bath. He reached for the towel and rubbed her down slowly.
He went on his knees in front of her and used the towel and gently
wiped between her thighs. He put the towel away and with his hands he
opened her vagina, reaching his tongue inside her slowly at first as
she gripped his head, her body shivering as his tongue slid in and
out of her; his teeth grazing her vulva, sucking it inside his mouth
while his tongue explored her thoroughly. She was on the verge of
exploding inside his mouth when he released her abruptly and stood up
in front of her. She was fighting for control. He led them to the
bedroom and laid her on the bed, opening her legs to receive him. He
placed his erection at the tip of her opening and entered her slowly,
wrapping her legs around his waist. He did not move immediately, but
stayed inside her; his hands on her swollen stomach, moving over it
in wonder, his erection growing inside her.

“I
can’t love you more,” he told her hoarsely. “I want
to explode with the way I feel about you, my wife. Feel me.” He
started moving inside her; his hands holding her stomach gently as if
holding his child close to them. Rosa felt the unbelievable
tenderness of his lovemaking and felt the tears prickling her eyes as
she moved to match his thrusts. He pulled her to the edge of the bed
and placed her feet flat on the bed, holding her knees as his thrusts
increased in tempo, his face tensed as he moved inside her, feeling
the intensity of the love and passion between them.
