"Hey! Aaron!" The light wind carried her voice to him. He turned around to see her smiling at him and walked over to her, his white teeth flashing in the sun as he smiled at her in greeting.Helen touched her cheeks and just as she suspected, she was grinning like an idiot.Dammit. She had known this man for almost a year and his smile still made her fawn. "What's with Jeremy and Cassie?" She asked, looking around for cameras. "You know... Just the usual drama." He replied.He looked at her and his lips quirked upward, in a lopsided grin. The kind he gave when he wanted to tease her."I don't know how, but you somehow got even more beautiful than before."She rolled her eyes at him and smiled, enjoying his compliment. "Stop," she protested. "You're trying to distract me.""Distract you from what?" "From hearing the gossip. So shoot. What's with Jeremy and Cassie?""Cassie got upset about something." As Aaron met her eyes with patience, her"You didn't upset her, did you??" she sque
"Quick, act normal," Aaron whispered as he set her down. Helen hid a laugh behind her hand and then waved to the two cameramen who were following close behind Jeremy and Cassie —now holding hands and gazing adoringly at each other once more—"Let's get you cleaned up" he murmured in her ear, making her shiver excitedly. He put his hand on her shoulder and waved as well.Then scooped her right back up again and dashed into the house."What if Cath sees?" Helen asked. But her fretting was little more than a reflex at this point. Right now, she didn't care one bit about whether they got caught on camera being all lovey-dovey. She just needed to see exactly what Aaron had in mind when he said he wanted to get her “all cleaned off.” She shivered in anticipation again."Cold?" He asked as he hurried down the hall. Helen was impressed at how he didn't break his stride or act winded in any way, even when she had put on about 3kg in the last month. She was even more impressed when he held on
"Turn around, pumpkin."She turned and pressed her body against the shower wall but he pulled her back against him. He lifted her leg so that she was barely braced on one foot, and then in one smooth thrust he entered her from behind.She gasped and sagged against him. Her back was against his chest, her head against his shoulder. With every thrust, Aaron let out a string of filthy promises, and dirty talk that only made her burn hotter for him. She believed it when he told her he could fuck her like this all night long. He had done it countless times before.She complied eagerly when he begged her to scream louder. She welcomed it when he ordered her to come all over his cock, and then she did exactly what he told her to.When the orgasm took her, she went boneless, surrendering to the sensations completely because she was secure in the knowledge that he would catch her. He held her braced against him as she screamed his name over and over again. Then he pushed her so that she was
"This is the best news. The most amazing news ever!" Cath squealed as she yanked off her headset. Aaron's lips parted as his head came up in shock. He felt his heart come to a complete stop. This was the opposite of great. This was the worst possible thing.He wanted to slap the annoying smile from Cath's face. How could he have been so careless and stupid?He'd been so wrapped up in the magic of being with Helen he'd forgotten that there were cameras everywhere, recording everything he said and did. He'd let their huge secret drop with barely a thought.And the last thing they needed now was for the world to know about their baby. He dropped his gaze and stepped forward. "I'm sorry," he said as he shielded Helen with his body from the cameramen who seemed to be swarming in from every angle. "I should have never said anything. I'll take full responsibility for that footage if you strike it from the show. I'll forfeit my fees, whatever you need just… don't air it please."Cath's ey
"What." she hissed, "was that?" When he didn't answer, she made a beeline for the deck and planted herself right in his sightline. "Just left me twisting in the wind, huh?""If you had something to say, you should have said it yourself," he said. The muscle at his jaw jumped as he ground his teeth and looked away from her.But Helen wasn't having any of his brooding nonsense. She gripped his face in her hands and twisted until he was forced to look her in the eye. "This isn't just about me. It's about us. All three of us."He seemed to consider what she said.In a few minutes, he was in the midst of a group of hastily assembled producers. "If this is what you're offering, then I'm going to do what I can to make it happen." He glanced at Helen. She gave him a lop-sided smile and nodded.A collective sigh of relief went up. Cath slammed her hand on the table. "All right then!" she beamed excitedly into her ever-present headset. "Let's make it happen, people. We lost a whole day of shoo
"You care about me?" He grabbed her hand. "Then stay with me. I can't lose you, Cassandra." He scooped her into his arms and carried her up to their bedroom. He laid her softly on the bed while trailing kisses on her neck and down her arms then back to her mouth.“Carter…” she breathed, just as affected as he was.He slipped his tongue into her mouth. In moments, her ass was cupped in his hands, and her hands buried in his hair.He loved the way she kissed him… as though she was on the brink of losing all control. They've been together for quite a while and each time he touched her, she responded with fiery passion, as though they were new lovers.Despite this seeming unbridled response to him, he could sense her holding back at every point. Doubting herself… exercising caution. He had no idea why.He didn’t even know when he loosened her robe, but in a flash, it was hanging on the crook of the arm that tugged mercilessly on his hair. And he stared at her growing belly. Her smoothly
Helen sat bolt upright in bed and gripped her stomach. This wasn't hunger, although it gnawed at her the same way. This was a bone-deep need for something very specific, but she had no idea what.She used to think pregnancy cravings were a myth. An exaggerated old wives' tale to make women feel crazy and unhinged. Until tonight.She groaned in frustration and squeezed her eyes shut, trying to picture what her mouth was already tasting. Something crisp and buttery, oozing with fatty cheese that dripped unctuously onto her tongue.Something that would fill up the hole she was certain had opened up inside of her.The spot next to her in bed was empty, as was the couch. For one moment, she allowed herself to miss Aaron with the same intensity as her craving. He would know what she needed. And he wouldn't object to waking up in the middle of the night to give it to her either. The way he cared for her was more real than anything.She gripped the sheets, wondering where he had gone. She'd m
They sat on the porch of the Churchill's Mansion, enjoying the warmth of the late summer sunshine. Aaron was leaning back in his chair, his booted feet propped on the railing. He looked sleepy as he had just eaten a heavy meal, but his alert eyes monitored the toddler playing in the yard while Helen and Tracy were in the house. Presently the two women joined Aaron on the porch, sitting down in big rockers.Aaron straightened abruptly as Ryan, who just had his one-year birthday fell in the yard. He quickly went to help him up, brushing the dirt from his chubby little legs. Helen had always had a picture of what motherhood would be like. The quiet mornings in the nursery, the sun slanting through the curtains as she rocked her chubby baby against her breasts. She scooped Ryan up as he babbled."He never stops moving," Helen complained as her son tried to launch himself from her arms. "He just wants to play" Aaron laughed as he came around to her side and opened his arms. "Come here,
