“Sure.”

“Not anymore. The hospital referred to as on my cell. Your doc is in emergency surgical procedure. They should postpone your process by a few hours. I feel now’s one of the best time to lastly present you one thing.”

“What?”

“How a lot you imply to me.”

I carry her into my arms and kiss her, forcing my tongue between her lips and into her mouth. She fights me at first however then relaxes. Each our tongues push and probe, demanding dominance. After I lastly win and really feel her undergo me, her physique wrapping round me, I cease.

“Coral, you’re mine, and you aren’t leaving me. As a matter of reality, beginning subsequent week, you and Archer might be transferring in with me. I do not need to waste any extra time with out you in my dwelling. I need to see everybody of Archer’s firsts. I need to get up with you each morning.”

“I am unable to. Davis threatened to kill you.” I pause at her phrases. After all, he did, that is why she gave in so simply.

“What about Archer? What did he threaten for him?”

“Please, I should not have stated something. Simply allow us to go.”

“By no means, Coral. You opened your mouth and fairly little legs to me. Now you are mine without end.”

“You are so crude.”

“However you’re keen on me like this.” I lean down in her face once more. Her consumption of breath lets me know I’ve hit the nail on the pinnacle. She won’t say it, however she’s falling in love with me. “Now, what else? What did you give into with him?”

“I am supposed to present Archer up for adoption—” I begin to interrupt her, however she talks over me. “I am not going to. I used to be simply going to return dwelling to stay. To cover from him.”

“I am adopting him. You are not leaving me. If he is mine, you may at all times be mine too.”

“Rowdy, that is loopy. We simply began seeing one another, and I simply informed you that Archer is a product of date rape. You possibly can’t need me. My circle of relatives does not need me.” She’s attempting to not solely persuade me however herself.

I set her down and press my hand to her chest, then I take hers and press it to mine.

“I would like you. I am falling in love with you and Archer. I am not going to present that up. My coronary heart, you’re feeling it?” She nods. “It is yours. Solely yours.” She licks her prime lip after which pulls it into her mouth. She needs this. “I would like your coronary heart too, however I am keen to attend till you are prepared to present it to me.”

I choose her up once more and carry her into the home, the place I lay her down on the mattress and kiss her till she sighs.

“Knock, knock.” My mother’s voice interrupts us from the doorway. “I hate to trouble you, however do you need to nurse Archer for the final time immediately?” Due to the surgical procedure, she’s going to should pump and dump. A time period that means she’ll hold her milk flowing by pumping, however she will’t give it to Archer as a result of it should include the medicines from her surgical procedure. The physician mentioned doing a nerve block on her arm in order that they may give her as little meds as attainable.

“Yeah, I do need to try this. I am glad I’ve additional breast milk within the freezer for him, however perhaps I ought to actually get thinking about transferring him to system.”

“Mouse, I already informed you, I am going to assist no matter choice you make.”

“Thanks, honey,” she says as she strikes away from bed. It is the primary time she’s used a time period of endearment with me, and it causes me to smile like a loon. I prefer it and need extra of it.

We’re checked into the hospital, and my mother, together with Georgia, are within the ready room whereas I sit again right here with Coral, ready for her to be taken to surgical procedure.

“If you end up all healed up, we’re going to be exploring extra of this however at your tempo, child.” I kiss and nibble her neck as a throat clears behind us. I flip because the nurses stroll into the curtained off room.

“Surgical procedure ought to solely be a few hours,” one of many nurses says. “Then she’ll be within the submit anesthesia care unit for one more hour. She’ll be going dwelling after that.”

“Okay.” I lean over her once more. She held my hand the entire time they have been placing in her IV. I kiss her on the lips. “Keep in mind I am right here.” I need to inform her I like her, however I do know she is not prepared to listen to that.

“I’ll,” she says, and I watch as they wheel her away from me.
