The Cowboys pregnant fiance

chapter 15

After they made love Cody watched Sherilyn in the moon light that arced through the window. She'd fallen asleep cuddled against him but he couldn't catch a wink.

Wasn't the guy who was supposed to slumber off after sex?

But Sherilyn had seemed satisfied no ecstatic with what had gone on between them so her exhaustion didn't bother him. Nothing did at that moment as a matter a fact because he was the happiest he'd ever been.

When they'd started to make love he'd had an instant of doubt but it had been soon been erased when she urged him to a point where he couldn't stop himself from being with her. She was everything he'd ever wanted in a woman and he still couldn't believe that she'd given herself to him.

She sighed in her sleep and he brushed a piece of moonbeam hair away from her face. Every breath she took was like his own, and he couldn't get enough of her.

Yet soon enough he began to feel a heaviness on his shoulders again.

A reminder that he hadn't told her everything.

Just because she knew about him being rejected by his birth mom didn't mean she would understand what he's done in the past. She still didn't know the ugliest reality about him.

She rolled to her side toward him slipping an arm over his hip. His flesh tingled where she touched it and that overwhelming affection for her he'd felt earlier seized him again. Without thinking he lay back putting his arm around her as she breathed against him her belly fitting against him perfectly.

He must've fallen asleep like that because before he knew It he was a wake and morning peeping in the curtains.

Sherilyn was still cuddled against him her eyes closed a lazy smile on her face.

Had she been dreaming about him?

When she opened one eye and smiled even wider he was pretty sure that she'd been awake for a while.

"Morning." she whispered.

"Morning to you too."

He kept holding her, wondering if she was going to change her mind about being close to him.

But when she planted a kiss on his nose then snuggled against him he accepted it for as long a the guilt would allow him too.

Just as he thought she might fall back asleep she groaned and said. "Damn." then shrugged out of the blankets and got to her feet naked as the morning.

He couldn't look away from her shapely gorgeous body , long legs, curvy hips, round belly, and swollen breast. he guessed that she had an hour glass figure before the pregnancy but now she was even more breath taking.

"One thing about having a baby." she said. "Is the constant...."

She pointed towards the bathroom in the hall, and he understood.

As she left the room she said. "I hope I didn't keep you up last night with all my getting up and down."

"Not at all." Maybe he slept like a log after all because he didn't remember any of that.

He heard a door close and wondered what he should do now. It was the morning after and aside from his short marriage he'd never stayed around for long with other women.

But Sherilyn was anything but the usual.

He got up from the floor, put on his jeans then decided that he should probably make the bed. It seemed a real polite thing to do and for some reason he thought it might be a nice gesture.
