An Open Heart: Other Realm, Frost Family Series Book 4

An Open Heart

She cleared her throat, shifting uncomfortably in the chair, facing Felix. He was wearing a cocky little smirk; dark blue eyes alight with appreciation as they raked over her body. While she was fighting with herself, trying to find the courage to speak, he broke the awkward silence that had remained for the past minute.

"You know...you've gained a little weight, but you still look amazing. I have to say, I was eyeing you a hell of a lot more than Willow at the wedding." He shot her an encouraging smile, a flare of heat in his eyes as his gaze snagged at her breasts.

Rolling her eyes, she raised a hand to her temple. Seriously, is sex the only thing this nut ever thinks about? she asked herself tiredly.

"So, what did you need to talk to me about?" he asked as he shifted in his seat to adjust a slight boner she could see even now through his suit pants.

Fuck, what is he, 16?! she cried in her mind. "I...I needed to tell you something," she swallowed.

He nodded his head, propping it up against the arm of his chair. He flashed a smile before his smile quickly began to shift into a frown. "Oh, shit. Don't tell me. You've fallen in love with me, right? Well, I'm sorry and everything...I don't really do anything but the benefits part of relationships. Specifically the physical kind," he chuckled, licking his lips. "So, unless you're going to say you want to spend the night in my arms and bed, I'm going to have to stop this right here."

"What?" she gasped irritated. "No, of course not!"

"Hmm, shame," he murmured mournfully. "We'd have so much more fun if we stopped this chat and undressed though..."

"Felix...please, can we stop talking about sex right now? I'm not here to have sex with you and I don't plan to," she growled.

He smirked. "Oh, really? Well, what about-?"

"Will you shut the fuck UP?!" she shouted as she shot to her feet. "Damn it, Felix, I was trying to be mature about this but you won't let me."

He blinked, startled. "Um, what? What's there to be mature about? Besides, that's completely overrated." He waved a dismissive hand at her.

She raised a hand to her face, running it down to cover her mouth slowly. "Gods, I can't believe this...It's so impossible it's ridiculous. Like, how even can I...? Felix," she cleared her throat, shaking her head. "I need you to get your head out of your own ass, for just this one minute," she spate.

He stiffened, glowering. "Hey," he raised his hands up. "There is no reason to be so hostile. I make sex, not war."

"Oh, do you now?" she groaned. "With how fucking moronic you seem most of the time, I have to say I'm hard-pressed to believe that."

He slowly rose to his feet, dark blue eyes hardening. "Okay, fine. You have my attention, madam," he bowed in an exaggerated manner over his hand. "Please, fill my ears with the wondrous sound of your voice even more. My, how can I go on living without hearing these words you so desperately wish to say to me?"

"Alright, dick," she rolled her neck, popping it as she crossed her arms over her chest. "I'm pregnant and you are the father."
