“You’re even more beautiful.”

“I’m not. I feel like a slob most of the time, and I’m so big and bloated; there’s nothing beautiful about me.”

Micaiah’s jaw clenched, and he gripped my face in his hands. “Quit talking crazy. I’ve never seen a woman more beautiful than you are.”

He kissed me deeply until I moaned, and my nipples hardened underneath his kiss. I could feel his arousal pressing through his pants and against my thigh.

“Were you really on this side of town?” I asked as he pulled back and led me to the couch.

“I was,” he answered, sitting on the other end of the couch and lifting my feet into his lap.

“I told my staff to come by my office if they had questions about some of the things we discussed in the meeting. I don’t think this will be a good look.”

“I think it could be a very good look. It would show the men how to pamper their women and the women what they should expect from their man, but they’re not gonna see it.”

“How do you know they won’t?”

“I told Anna to make sure that no one came back while I was here.”

“You think she’s going to listen to you?”

“I know she will. I gave her a couple of Benjamins for her time.”

“Micaiah! You can’t be bribing my staff.”

“Let’s just say that she’s willing to do anything to make sure her boss is happy and her needs are tended to.”

“Oh my gosh! Micaiah, what did you tell that girl?” No wonder Anna wouldn’t meet my gaze and was smiling when she returned to the meeting.

“Just that I came to relieve your stress and make your day,” he replied, grinning widely.

I sank down on the couch because I wasn’t sure how I would face her again after this. I forgot all about that, though, as he got more intense with my foot massage.

“Mm. That feels so good.” I moaned as he pressed his thumb on a particular spot on the sole of my foot.

“Keep moaning like that, and anyone passing by your door will be certain that everything you think they’re thinking is true.”

“Damn,” I moaned, throwing my arm over my eyes.

My baby kicked, causing me to rub my belly. Micaiah released my foot and moved to my side. “Hey, gorgeous. You’re not forgotten about in there either. I was just making sure your mommy is all good out here. What about you? How are you feeling in there? Daddy wants—whoa. We’ve got a soccer player in there,” he declared, laughing.

She had just kicked his hand as he was talking to her.

“I think she likes the sound of your voice.”

He looked up at me with those beautiful brown eyes that made me melt. They were light against his dark skin, and I wondered if our baby would have eyes like his.

“I think I can’t wait to meet her.”

“We need to discuss names for her,” I stated.

“Do you have any in mind?”

“I’ve got several.”

“How about we discuss them tonight over dinner—my place. I’m cooking for you.”

“You do so much for me already, Micaiah. Let me cook for you.”
