Trouble in Paradise.

26. Shower.

Chapter 26: Shower.

That weird woman was Stephanie. I knew it was her, I just needed confirmation from the police.

Apparently she escaped from a mental hospital three weeks ago. And she killed Sabrina. Pushed her right off that balcony. When she was questioned, she said she did it because Zachary and her were endgame. She wanted to wipe out her competition, so they'd be together.
She's awaiting trial right now and is going to face twenty five to life in prison.

Isn't God good?

"Which one?" Riley asks me, as she shows me two sets of lingerie.

I shove another potato chip in my mouth.

"The green one. He'll do anything you tell him to in that ." I tell her and she laughs.

"This is the first time in a while since we've had the house to ourselves. The kids are with my mum and it's just us. Tobias is still at work, but boy is he in for a surprise." She says, smiling.

"You guys deserve this alone time." I tell her.

"You and Zachary better have all the sex you can because when that big boy comes he's gonna take up all your time." She says and I scratch my forearm.

"You know we're not together right?" I tell her.

"What? I thought after his wedding was called off, you guys moved in together?" She says and I shake my head.

"That is not true. Where did you hear that?" I ask her.

"Instagram." She tells me and I roll my eyes.

"Figures. Zachary and I are not together romantically. Yes, we're expecting a baby, but we are not romantically involved." I inform her.

"Why not? I know you guys love each other to death." She says and I stare at her with tears in my eyes.

"Yeah, we do, but I don't think we are good for each other." I grab my phone and I hold it in my hand as I walk to the kitchen to get a glass of water.

"You guys are." She says and I scoff.

"Look, I feel like everyone that knows the two of us wants us to work out so bad because they only see the outside view of our relationship. Shit's really messy. I'm really messed up and so is he." I tell her, holding my phone on one hand as I pour myself a glass of water.

"We're all messed up, Val. You might be a mess, but you're the mess that he wanted. And that means something." She says and I brush her off.

I hear Zachary's car pull up in the driveway.

"He's back. I'll call you later, Riley." I tell her.

"You guys better have sex." She says and I roll my eyes.

"Goodbye, Mrs. Raymond." I say before I hang up the FaceTime call.

I drink the glass of water in my hand and I wash the glass. Zachary walks into the kitchen as I am placing the glass on the rack.

"Hey." He says and I ignore him.

I'm still giving him the silent treatment for calling our baby a mistake.

"You're still mad at me huh?" He asks, but I don't reply. I dry my hands with a towel and I walk past him.

He grabs my arm and I stop moving.

"Can we talk?" He asks as I'm trying to pry his fingers off me. "Please." He says as I look him in the eye.

He looks sorry.

"Fine." I agree.

He pulls me closer to him and he hugs me. As he does this the baby kicks and I stare up at him.

"Did you feel that?" I ask him and he nods.

We share a laugh and then he kisses me. He lifts me up and places me on the island.

"Thank you for giving me him." He says, rubbing my stomach. "I want to show you how thankful I am." He says as his hands travel to my underwear. He takes it off and it falls to the floor.

"Are you sure you wanna do that?" I ask him. "Like you're not weirded out by having sex with me while I'm pregnant?" I ask him and he shakes his head.

"Not at all, I have done that before." He says and my eyes widen.

Of course he has. Him and Stephanie were getting it in while she was pregnant with Drew.

I'm not in the mood anymore.

"Yeah." I say, holding the counter as I get off the island.

I pick up my panties from the floor and I head to the bedroom.

"Valarie, I didn't mean it like that. It's not like I'm thinking of her when I'm with you. I just wanted you to know that it was okay to have sex while you're pregnant." Zachary says, defending himself.

"I didn't say a word." I tell him before I take my dress off and lay on the bed in my bra.

"You look beautiful." He says, staring at me.

"You're always saying shit that gets me mad." I tell him. "Maybe you should stop talking."

"Would you like me to put my mouth to good use?" He asks and I shake my head.

"I'm going to take a shower." I tell him, taking my bra off before I walk to the bathroom. I turn on the shower and I set the temperature to warm. I put some body wash in my palm and I run my hands together before I lather my body with the soap.

"Can I join you?" Zachary asks and I don't reply. He takes that as a "yes" and he enters the shower. He doesn't waste any time in touching my wet body. He grabs my ass in one arm and my boobs in the other.

"Ever had shower sex?" He whispers in my ear as he plays with my nipple.

I don't reply instead I let out a loud moan.

"Already, Miss Stone. I am barely touching you." He says as he plays with my clit.

"Just shut up and fuck me already." I tell him.

"Your wish is my command." He says, gently arching my back before he enters me from behind.

My legs go weak and I almost slip.

"Careful." He says, grabbing one of my hands and locking our fingers as he places it on the wall.

"Zach." I moan as increases his speed.

"You like that don't you?" He asks as before he stops moving.

"Why did you stop?" I ask him, feeling frustrated.

"Tell me if you like it." He demands.

"I like it. Love it even. Now do what you're supposed to and make me cum." I tell him and he starts moving again.

"Yes...ma'am." He says, pumping in and out of me.

Minutes later, we reach our highs and stay frozen for a few seconds before he speaks.

"That was amazing." He says and I blush.

"Really?" I ask for confirmation.

"You're acting like you don't know that pussy is fire. That's how you got pregnant in the first place." He says and I slap him on the arm.

"Don't be weird." I tell him, grabbing my sponge as I apply body wash on it.

"Let me." Zachary says as he takes the sponge from my hand.

He scrubs my body and when he's done I do the same. This is the first time we've done something like this. So, the spontaneity of this whole thing feels weird and awkward, but I like it.
