HIS THERAPIST | 18+

BONUS CHAPTER 1 of 3

Pulling a light creme beige color thigh length dress, Ravenna tucked the two front strands of her wavy hair at the back of her head with a clip. Her baby bump was visible as she was now 5 months into her pregnancy. Stroking her swollen belly, she made her way to the other end of the closet to grab her sandals.

She hesitatingly bent over slightly while being careful not to trip forward. Just as she leaned forward her balance grew unstable. As she closed her eyes to feel the impact, she quickly came to the realization that she never met the floor. Two strong tattooed arms wrapped around her waist from the back before pulling her back.

"Ravenna seriously?" She let out a deep sigh, knowing she was in deep trouble. She hesitantly turned around to see those cyan blue eyes that she would happily spend her life looking at.

"I'm sorry." Ravenna pouted in hopes that it would melt him.

"Not working baby." She looked at him with the same innocent look Ravenna knew would charm it's way through the tough exterior of the Italian mob.

"Next time call me when you need to grab something from the floor, alright?" She smiled and nodded.

"I promise." Ravenna added, ensuring the over protective bear to calm down.

"Come on, let me grab your shoes and then we can head out." Ravenna wrapped her arms around Rafael as close as her pregnant belly would allow her to. He instantly relaxed as he tightly wrapped his own arms around her waist. Kissing the top of her head he took a deep breathe.

"What's got you all tensed Rafael?" Ravenna asked as she realized there was more going in that mind of his since this morning.

"Nothing baby." She pulled away from him before folding her arms in front of her chest.

"Keep on lying Rafael Rossi and you would not see the end of it." He smirked as he quickly pulled her back to his chest. Her swollen bump instantly blocking any further contact with the Italian man in front of her.

"I love you." He expressed in all honesty, making Ravenna smile.

"I love you too." Reaching on her tippy toes, she placed a quick peck on his lips.

"Now come on we have to find out who I'm carrying in here." Ravenna reminded as he placed a kiss on her forehead and then nodding.

"Come on, let me get your shoes for you." Rafael grabbed her shoes that she was reaching for before intertwining both of their hands together.

Exiting the closet, Ravenna moved towards the end of their bed. Taking a seat on the edge of the bed, she  slowly settled herself down.

Rafael kneeled in front of her before placing her sandals on both of her feet. She ran her hand through his jet black hair as he fastened her shoes.

"Thank you." She thanked as he intertwined their hands once again after softly placing his hand on her bump.

They made their way out of the bedroom before walking down the stairs that Rafael finally let Ravenna do herself after her constant complaining, but he always made sure to be beside her or have someone else.

Both of them finally reached the last of the stairs as Dante walked in from one of the call ups from the dock where some shipments had been messed with.

"Looking beautiful as always." Dante commented as Ravenna smiled. Rafael merely glared at Dante as if he was ready to murder him.

"You guys finding the baby gender today?" Dante asked as he made his way to Ravenna and Rafael.

He carefully placed a hand on her swollen bump, knowing that Rafael would chop of his hands if he was to move any further. He gently rubbed her belly as the growing baby fluttered under his touch.
