“You’re kidding right? Have you seen her with Jess?” Sam frowned. “She’s amazing with her. I think you’re overreacting. She gets this longing on her face every time she holds my daughter in her arms. She wants children trust me.”

“I agree, plus she told me she does,” Nathan smiled. “So do you think she’s really pregnant?”

Bobby thought about it and smiled. “I hope so,” Bobby said with a sheepish grin. “Anything is possible. I’d love to see her belly swollen with my son.”

“This calls for brandy and cigars,” James chanted and stood to go get his best brandy and the Cubans he had stashed away.

“Dad, we don’t know for sure,” Bobby chuckled.

“You’re a Mairettie, our love makes babies,” James waved him off and kept going.

“Seriously, I don’t want to suggest this to her. I think it will be better if she confirms the suspicion,” Bobby said.

“Well she’s going to figure it out soon enough. Paige doesn’t miss a thing,” Marcus chuckled.

Chapter Twenty Five

“P
aige,” a soft voice whispered as something cold touched her face, “sweetie?”

“Umm,” Paige opened her eyes and Camille was sitting on the edge of the bed with a cool rag in her hand. “Hey,” she rasped.

“Hey honey, Bobby called he wanted me to check on you,” Camille smiled.

“Seriously, he’s on a boat,” Paige groaned.

“The man is in love. Not even an ocean can keep him away,” Camille teased.

“I’m fine, just a little thirsty.”

“Here, I brought you some water, ginger ale and crackers,” Camille pointed to a tray on the bedside table. “We’re going into town to do some shopping and have lunch. Are you feeling up to that?”

“Yeah, I think that would be good. Can you give me a half to get ready?”

“Sure.” Camille kissed her cheek and got up to leave.

Shopping and lunch was just what the doctor ordered. Paige felt much better and hanging with the women was a plus. They were always good for a laugh, though Minnie seemed a bit annoyed with Julia’s consistent talk about the wedding. Paige didn’t think anyone else noticed but she had.

Camille and Ellen were being polite about it but it seemed to be wearing thin on their nerves as well. Paige didn’t mind. She was finding herself getting excited with Julia and daydreaming of her own wedding. To think a month ago she didn’t think marriage would ever happen for her and now marrying Bobby crossed her mind more than once.

She was so moved by the way he cared for her. She knew he hating giving in on going out this morning and not calling her a doctor, but he did it because she’d asked. She still feared things wouldn’t last and this would turn into a vacation fling.

Camille tried to reassure her that things were going to be fine but she couldn’t help worrying. Something was off and she felt like everything could change in the blink of an eye. It was hard to see the fairy tale ending.

The ladies were gathered in the living room again. Paige was playing with Jess as she thought about how great the last few days were. Paige was tickling the happy baby on her lap when the guys walked in.

“Ah, I was hoping you ladies would be here. I called ahead to the chef. I thought we could have dinner as a family tonight. Marie and her guests will be coming in this evening,” James announced.

“Oh, that will be lovely,” Minnie chimed.

Paige watched as James kissed Minnie. Sam went to kiss Ellen and then collected Jess from her lap to hug and kiss her. Marcus however went to the bar and poured himself a drink. Paige started to turn to see Julia’s reaction but Bobby drew her attention as he scooped her up and into his arms.

“I missed you. How are you feeling?” Bobby whispered in her ear and placed a soft kiss on the sensitive skin beneath it.

“I feel much better. Even better now that you’re here,” Paige sang and stood on her toes to kiss his lips.

“Is that so,” he breathed in her ear and nibbled her lobe. “This dress is sexy.”

Paige was wearing a pale pink sundress. It was short falling to her mid-thigh. After James planted the idea that Paige could be pregnant, all Bobby could think about was how much he wanted it to be so. The thought of his seed spilling into her and creating a life had him rock hard the whole ride back to the house. He had to shift his thoughts when they drew closer to the house just to be able to get out of the truck.

“You’re not looking too bad yourself handsome.” Paige was practically glowing as she smiled up at him.

Bobby smiled down at her giving her a wicked grin. He slid his hands down her sides to her hips, then over her curves and squeezed her tightly, pulling her up against him. Paige could feel his bulge pressing into her stomach. She gasped and glance around nervously looking to see if anyone was watching. Everyone was engaged in a conversation or doing their own thing.

Bobby took a step back and twirled her around by the hand pulling her back to his front and wrapping his arms around her from behind. His growing arousal was pushing into her back. Bobby planted a trail of open mouth kisses to her ear.

“Did you miss me, Paige?” He purred sexily in her ear. Paige nodded and Bobby splayed his large warm hand against her stomach. “I bet you’re wet for me right now. Are you wet for me, Baby?”

Paige nodded again and he bit down on her neck, causing her to stifle a moan as she fanatically scanned the room again for watchful eyes. She couldn’t believe he was being this aggressive in front of his family. She wanted to shrink and run away but it was turning her on at the same time.

“I can’t hear you, Paige. Are you wet for me?” He breathed in her ear yet again.

“Y-yes,” she panted.

“Prove it,” Bobby said with a grin in his voice.

“Pr-prove it, how,” Paige squawked.

“Go to the powder room in the hall and remove your panties. Bring them back to me,” Bobby murmured as he nuzzled her neck and her ear.

“What?”

“You heard me, now go,” Bobby ordered squeezing her butt one more time before releasing her.

Paige turned to look him in the face and he raised his eyebrow at her, as if daring her to be defiant. Paige could feel her face turn red hot under the skin but something in her didn’t want to disobey or disappoint. She quickly moved out of the room putting a little more sway to her hips because she could feel his eyes on her. When she turned to be sure, his eyes were locked on her backside and there was a sexy grin pushing at the corners of his lips.

Paige, feeling adventurous and brave gave her own saucy smile over her shoulder. He lips pushed up more and she could see the burning passion ignite in his eyes. Paige knew she should be nervous about what she was about to do.

She should have refused him in the first place but there was a part of her that wanted to be naughty for a change, not just in the bedroom. She felt so empowered the other day on the beach when she took him in her mouth and watched him come apart because of her. Bobby was a powerful man and took control of every situation, but in that moment he let her have control and she loved it.

She wasn’t losing herself in this relationship as much as she thought she would. It was better than that. It was like loving Bobby was giving her a power she never knew she had or wanted. She couldn’t wait to see what he would do or make her feel tonight.

Paige slipped into the powder room and quickly hooked her fingers into her panties, shimming them down her legs and stepping out of them. Just as she thought, they were drenched. She never responded to a man the way she did Bobby, all it took was a touch or a look and she was swollen, aching and wet.

Paige looked down at her dress to see where she could tuck her panties, but there was no place to put them. She quickly took the wet fabric and folded it as neatly and as small as she could and pushed them into her palm. Paige looked in the mirror and smiled at the woman she didn’t recognize anymore. Her eyes were bright, her wild waves were just barely tamed and her skin was glowing.

Bobby was good for her. He made her feel like she was finally moving toward the things she wanted and although that terrified her, it excited her. If it all came to an end at the end of the week at least she could say she knew what love felt like for a moment.

Bobby was standing by the bar talking to Nathan and Marcus when she stepped back into the living room. She stood at the entrance trying to get his attention not wanting to walk in, in her state. Bobby was laughing at something Nathan said and not facing her.

She was so frustrated. Just when she was going to give up and go back to her room to replace the ruined panties, Bobby turned to see her standing there. His eyes darken and he crooked his finger to beckon her to his side.

Paige gave him a pointed look and shook her head at him. Bobby just smiled and tilted his head to the side, questioning her defiance without words. Paige sighed as she relented and stepped into the room walking slowly toward him.

His eyes remained locked on her as she made her way to him. He lifted his glass of amber liquid to his lips and took a gulp shifting his stance but not taking his eyes off of her for a second.

He placed the glass down once she reached his side and reached for her waist. Paige reached for his free hand and pressed her soiled panties in his palm. Bobby gave her a wicked smile as he lifted the fabric to his nose and inhaled. Paige looked over to where Nathan was standing but he was too busy talking to Marcus to have seen what was going on.

Bobby tugged her forward allowing his hand to travel south and lodge itself on the fullest part of her curves. He leaned in and kissed her passionately twisting his tongue with hers. Paige could only cling to his shirt to anchor herself from moaning or going weak in the knee and spilling into a puddle at his feet.

“The things I’m going to do to you tonight should be illegal in most states. I’m going to make you cum so hard you are going to see your future and Baby, I’m all in it,” Bobby growled hoarsely in her ear.

“Bobby,” Paige whimpered softly against his cheek as she felt her juicy gush down her leg.

Bobby maneuvered their bodies so her back was pressed against the bar and she was completely covered from view by his large frame. He first slipped his leg between hers then quickly looked around before snaking a hand under her dress. When he found her wet inner thigh he softly groaned against her temple.

“What did I do to deserve you,” he breathed as he used her panties and dry her thighs. “Behave my Princess. You won’t be getting my cock until after dinner with the family.”

Paige looked up at him incredulously. He couldn’t mean to leave her like this for the rest of the night. She was sure he was going to excuse them for a while to release this torture he started.

Bobby was giving her a knowing smile as his grey eyes burned into her brown. His smug grin was like a cold shower. She straightened her back and lifted her chin ready to give him a piece of her mind but was cutoff as Minnie announced for everyone to wash up for dinner.

“Dinner is ready everyone get cleaned up. Dinner is being served out on the patio,” Minnie looked around the room and locked eyes with Paige giving her a wide grin.

Paige returned her smile suddenly aware of her missing panties again, and wondering if Minnie knew what she and her son had been up to. Paige reached for Bobby’s glass and went to lift it to her lips for courage. Bobby’s hand shot out and covered the glass prying it from her hand and frowning at her.

“I don’t think that is wise. You haven’t been feeling well,” Bobby said quickly to halt her temper and the course words on the tip of her tongue.

He kissed her lips quickly before nodded for her to join Camille, who was calling for her attention. Paige narrowed her eyes at him but decided against the words she was forming. It didn’t make sense having their first argument over a drink she didn’t really want to begin with.

She would find the courage in herself to get through this uncomfortable situation of being exposed, and feeling more vulnerable than she was ready to admit. Paige shot him an overly sweet smile and moved to Camille’s side. Once everyone was seated where Minnie designated conversations were buzzing all around the table.

Bobby placed his hand on Paige’s knee under the table while she talked with Nathan on her right side. Paige turned to see Bobby wasn’t looking at her but talking with Ellen and Sam across from them. When she turned back to Nathan, Bobby slid his hand further up her leg.

Paige squeezed her legs shut and turned to narrow her gaze on him, but he turned to her and winked. Under the table he tapped her leg with one finger to chide her for closing him out. Paige reluctantly relaxed and was rewarded with a smile and a gentle squeeze of her thigh.

“Paige, Bobby tells me that you found the key to the win for the Oreeso cases and the two of you have an air tight defense for Lieberman,” James said proudly.

“Yes Sir, we should be able to make both quick and painless,” Paige beamed.

“She is amazing dad. We’re lucky to have her,” Bobby told his dad then turned to Paige leaning over to kiss her lips, while he made circles on her thigh with his thumb.

“Yes, we would be at a great loss if she decides to take that brain of hers and leave us all behind,” James said warmly.

“Enough with the shop talk,” Minnie chided.

“It’s what we know,” Marcus said with a megawatt smile for his mother.

“Well you all will have to pull on your other resources for intelligent conversation tonight,” Minnie said giving a playful scowl.

“Hey everybody,” a squeal floated out on to the deck.

Paige turned to see two women and a guy that looked to be in their early twenty’s, walking out of the house. If Paige hadn’t meet her before there would still be no doubt that the tall gorgeous brunette, with the flawless tanned skin and sparkling grey eyes, was none other than Marie Mairettie. She flew into the first pair of arms she reached, which was Marcus’s.

Bobby was up and out of his seat head straight for his little sister. Marcus released Marie from his bone crushing embrace just as Bobby reached them and scooped her into his arm. She may have been tall but her thin curvy body was swallowed up in her brothers’ arms.
