So guys, someone brought it to my attention that that last chapter was pretty intense for a pregnant woman, and I'll admit, it slipped my mind lol. But it's a fun scene, so I'll leave it for now and maybe put it somewhere else when I finish the book and revise.
Also, welcome all newcomers! Idk what super popular person put my book on their list to give me all these new readers, but I appreciate you!
And finally, ik my updates have been sporadic, and I apologize. College and work are kicking my ass, and it's just hard to find the time and energy. But, I will try my hardest to keep up with my updates!
Ok, so for the few people who actually bothered to read this note, thank you for your time, and we'll get straight into the story!
Amelia stirred as fingers trailed lightly over her skin, tracing the slope of her nose, the bow of her lips. She gradually became aware of the warm body underneath her that radiated heat.
"Derek?" she slurred.
His chest rumbled as he hummed in reply. Something sweet touched her lips.
"Drink," he said, voice soft.
Amelia parted her lips slightly, every muscle still on the verge of trembling. Apple juice slid over her tongue, such sweet relief that she managed to lift her head slightly toward the stream, uncaring that droplets rolled down her chin.
Derek chuckled. "Slow down, little one. There's plenty."
A soft whine escaped her throat, and her eyelids struggled to lift.
Derek lifted the bottle to her lips again and again, by the end, holding her head up as she lost the strength.
By the time she was sated, Amelia had almost fallen asleep.
"Shh, babygirl," he murmured. "Don't fall asleep just yet."
She moaned when Derek stood, lifting her in his arms. Everything hurt.
Carrying her through a series of hallways, Derek found the door he was looking for. It opened into a classy, sensual room with velvet drapes and a four poster bed.
Derek walked right past the bed into the adjoining bathroom. He started the water.
When the tub filled with hot water and the silky oils that had been provided, Derek pulled off what little clothing remained between the two of them and stepped into the water. Amelia gave a little start as the water licked her skin.
Soft music played from Derek's phone.
The hot water began to soothe Amelia's aches and pains, and she relaxed against Derek's chest.
Picking up a washcloth, he coated it with soft soap and began to gently massage her shoulders with it. Amelia let out a surprised moan.
As he worked down the length of her body, Derek pressed soft kissed along the length of her neck. Goosebumps rippled along her limbs as she tipped her head to the side to give him better access.
"I love you," he murmured into her skin.
Amelia reached back with a shaky hand and slid her fingers into his hair, pressing him gently closer.
I love you too.
But she didn't say it.
I'm sorry, guys; this chapter has been filled with more interjections than story. But I've fallen asleep at least three times over the course of the past 150 words, so I'm gonna call it a night.
It's short, but hopefully you'll take this in good faith that I'm trying 🖊 📚 😴 🖤

Romance"Sh..." he murmured, stroking her hair. She nuzzled her face into his hand, eyes closing in bliss from the simple contact. "You've been a very bad girl, haven't you?" She nodded immediately. His hands stilled, and her eyes popped open. "Yes, sir...
