When the day met the night

28

I started pulling off his t-shirt and undoing the drawstring of his sweats, I was fumbling with it, my fingers couldn't undo it fast enough. He was laughing, "I'll do it wait!" I threw off my top and shorts, grabbing his arm to join me on the bed. He climbed over me, leaning down to kiss me, his tongue diving into my mouth meeting mine, ravishing me. Slowly then his lips began trailing kisses down to my breasts, "oh my God, they are...big, bigger" he exclaimed, I nodded pulling his head back, I heard a laugh escape his throat, he licked and nipped my sensitive nipples in turn, taking his time, teasing me lazily until I was crying out in need, "please Jared I want you inside me" I begged. He groaned and moved back up, my legs parted eagerly, he his cock brushed against my clit then slowly up and down my slit. As he was about to enter, he paused, "I don't want to squash your belly" he whispered. I opened my eyes, frustrated, "you won't don't worry" I said impatiently, "but I will if I..." I wrapped my legs around his waist, "you won't it's fine please!" I said tightening my legs, he entered me slowly, I was so slick that he slid in deeply. I groaned loudly, the fullness was exquisite. "Jesus Harper you're so fucking wet .." he said through gritted teeth. I had been waiting for this, his hips moving slowly, pulling back out again. He set a slow torturous pace, I lifted my hips to meet his, trying to make him move faster, he wouldn't, I was getting frustrated, "faster Jared, harder!" I breathed, he shook his head and said, "I don't want to go too hard" "why?!!" I cried, "I'm scared I'll hurt you" he said quietly, I exhaled in frustration, "move!" I growled pushing him off me and forcing him onto his back, a surprised look crossed his face. I climbed on top of him, before he could protest I guided his hardness into me and started moving, the pleasure was so intense, he groaned his eyes closing. His hands reached up to grab my breasts, I rocked faster, my orgasm came quickly, so intense my cries rang around the room, my walls gripping him tightly. His hands moved to grasp my hips as he came apart, "fuck fuck!" he said loudly as he thrust up one final time and poured himself into me. I fell onto his chest breathing hard, my hands sliding into his hair, grasping it. We lay like this for a few minutes then I slowly moved off him, lying on my side my eyes closed, my breathing slowly returning to normal. "You okay?" he said propping himself up on his elbow to look at me. I opened them to look up at him "mmm yes much better" I smiled, "should we be more careful?" he said with a worried look on his face. I shook my head, "no the doctor said it was okay, don't worry" "are you sure, I think.." I cut him off sitting up, "would you stop worrying" I said with a dismissive wave of my hand. I got up and went to the bathroom, when I came back out he was watching me intently. "What is it?" I said, "you look different" he said smiling. My face fell and I picked up my top, he quickly reached out and snatched it off me. "No, I meant you look gorgeous, don't cover up, I like looking at you and your little bump" he sat on the edge of the bed and pulled me close to him, he gently kissed the bump, his stubble tickling my skin, my hands resting on his shoulders. "You're beard is tickling me" I said laughing, he looked up at me grinning and rubbed his cheek on my belly laughing.

We were lounging around all morning the next day, I had woken him up, urging him to make love to me. He had sleepily nodded and happily obliged, my lips were bitten, in ecstasy, I couldn't seem to get enough of him. We were in the kitchen having breakfast and he said "Let's go out and get some fresh air". "No I don't want to, let's go back to bed" I moved to wrap my arms around his waist, he grabbed my hands holding me away. "No, as much as I'd like that, we need to get out, cmon" he said laughing. I poked my tongue out at him and his eyebrows raised in surprise, "that's not very polite, I'll have to show you what happens to rude girls when we come back" he said his voice low and sensual. I sighed, the heat building in my groin, an ache that only he could stop. My phone rang a few times, friends wanting to catch up for a drink and dinner, I promised to ring them back and make a date. "We should go, you can introduce me" said Jared, I nodded, "okay, that would be nice" I said smiling. We walked out half an hour later, he wasn't wearing his usual hat and glasses, his hair was loose, flying around in the breeze. He was holding my hand as we strolled, looking in different stores. Occasionally someone would approach him and ask for a photo, he would smile and we would move off again. "You should have worn your glasses, people don't recognize you as much" I said after the fifth person walked off. "I don't care" he said with a shrug, "what do you mean? those photos are going to end up all over the place" I said frowning at him, "that's the idea" he said. I stopped mid step, "what do you mean by that?" he pulled me gently to keep moving, "I'm not hiding, I want people to know where I am and who I'm with" I stopped again, "but, I..." I started saying, he turned to look at me, "What? Are you embarrassed? Don't you want people to know about us?" he had a small hurt look on his face. "No!! Of course not!" I wrapped my arms around his neck "I want to keep us and the bump to ourselves, for a little while longer, once people know, they'll never stop hounding us" I said sadly. He leant down to kiss me, "It will be okay" he said smiling. We kept walking, until we came to a store front, baby stuff, he stopped and dragged me in. He was pointing to things excitedly, I laughed as he grabbed different items. "Should we buy some things?" he said holding up a tiny little one piece. "No not yet" I laughed, "but look how cute it is" he held it against me. "We'll have plenty of time to buy stuff" I said taking it off him and hanging it back up. I dragged him out of there laughing at the grumpy look on his face.

I was dozing, late in the afternoon, my head in his lap when I heard him say to himself, "well that was quick" he chuckled. I slowly say up, yawning. "What's wrong?" he handed me his phone. Some tabloid website, "Why is Jared baby shopping in London?" and there was a photo of us, he was holding the little outfit. My hand covered my mouth, the article went on, explaining who I was, other photos from some of the people who had snapped pics with him earlier that day. I looked up at him, "now they'll know" I said sadly, "no one knows anything, not yet, we were just goofing around, and who gives a fuck they are going to find out soon enough when the bump gets bigger" he said firmly. "No one will even care about the series, nothing I do anymore will matter, I'll just be the mother of Jared Leto's baby, now anything I ever do, people will think I've got it because of you" I said sadly, he exhaled, "that's not true Harper! People will see past that, you are not simply the mother of 'our' baby, you're my girlfriend, my lover, my everything" he said gently smiling at me. I shook my head, "I wish..." I stopped talking not sure what I could say. He took hold of my hand, "You wish what? It never happened? I'm not sorry it happened, I know it wasn't in your plans but it's going to be okay, we will work it out as we go" he was still smiling, but at that moment, something stirred in me. I jumped up, "stop saying that everything will be okay! what if it's not okay?!!nothing will change for you! My whole life is about to be turned upside down!!!" I screamed, he had a shocked look on his face. Once again I burst into tears, he got up and tried to put his arms around me, I pushed him away, sobbing, "stop it Harper please" he said trying to talk over my crying. "No just don't!" I cried, pushing at his chest, his arms, I couldn't see through the tears. "Stop it!" he snapped gripping my arms and making me look up at him, "stop it right now" he looked into my eyes seriously. My sobs subsiding slowly until my breathing shuddered and I finally stopped. "Harper what's wrong, You know you're being irrational, right?" he said gently. I looked into his eyes, tears forming again in mine, "I don't know, I'm just scared I guess" I whispered. He pulled me into his arms, "I know, but I'll always be there for you for the baby, nothing will change that ever, just trust me, please" he implored. I nodded there was nothing else I could do now but trust him. Fuck.

My phone rang and rang, it was Lucy. "Hi" I said simply, Jared was on his phone typing away and was looking at me out of the corner of his eye. "Harper would you tell me what's going on? My phone is ringing off the hook, why are you in a baby store with Jared?" She demanded, "because we were looking at baby stuff" I said, I saw him grin. "Oh don't be a smart ass, why were you even in there?" I took a deep breath, "I was looking at things for our baby" I closed my eyes waiting for her reaction. "Have you lost your senses? You're pregnant? How could you be so stupid?" she yelled, Jared made to grab the phone but I jumped off the couch out of his reach. "Lucy, now listen to me, we've been together a long time and you've always been there for me, this is my choice whether you think it's right or wrong, if you can't accept it then we should part ways, I'm hoping that won't happen" I said pacing. "Harper I love you, I'm just thinking of your career, it's just starting to take off, of course I'll support you" she said and I knew she meant it. "Good" I was relieved, I sat down again. "So now what, do I tell people or deny it" she said, I bit my lip, looking at Jared shrugging my shoulders. He took the phone from me, "just don't say anything for now, act dumb you should be able to manage that, I'll put something out before I leave next week" he told her. "Fine" I heard her snap, he gave me back the phone, "bye Lucy" I said cheerfully and hung up. He was grinning, I shook my head, "you're enjoying this way too much" I said. "I am, I can't wait for everyone to know" he laughed, standing up grasping my arm. "But now, we have some unfinished business, I believe I was going to teach you a lesson in manners" before I could respond, he turned me to the side and gave me a stinging slap to my bottom, I gasped. "I warned you" he said with a smirk, "now, are you going to poke your tongue out at me again?" he asked in a husky voice, one eyebrow raised. I took a slow breath and my tongue shot out again, he growled loudly. "It's like that is it?" he said frowning, I giggled while he pulled me up the stairs, grinning at me, and then he spent the next few hours teaching me some manners.
