Loney was expectant. He couldn't wait to hear what Danica had to say to him. "Go ahead." Then, he recalled something and said, "Just a minute, I'll be right back." Danica sat back on the sofa while he strode out of the room to the truck and returned, a box in hand. "This is for you. You don't have to go through Paul to speak with me anymore."
Even before she opened the box, she could tell by his word that it was a phone. Something tickled inside her. It was more than just appreciation. It was more of a connection. 'Does he feel the same way I feel about him?' She was in a daze. "Thank you," she muttered, her face lit. Her hand shook slightly with excitement, as she took out the phone from the box. This could only mean one thing, that Loney was beginning to trust her.
However, Loney noticed her excitement and knew she might be thinking of calling her friend and especially when he recalled them speaking through Dr Jeff's phone with a J word they mentioned which he guessed to be a name, he couldn't help being possessive and said, "don't get too excited. It's locked to everyone else for now."
Danica didn't care. Her lips twirled. First, he allowed Herty to come and see her. Now, he gave her direct access to himself. Her heart warmed at the thought. "Still, thank you," she said to Loney, as he props himself on the sofa beside her. It was the first time they got this casual and Danica didn't want it to end.
"So, what did you want to tell me?" Loney gave her his full attention. His expression was casual. No smile, no frown. His gaze pierced into hers, she froze. Loney was being pleasant to her today. She enjoyed it and didn't want it to end. She feared that her confession might ruin his mood. Besides, they were supposed to have another intimate session. What if it got affected by the news? She decided to wait till the session was over and rather said, "I wanted to thank you for letting Herty come over."
Loney was not a relationship expert but he could discern there was more. "I'm glad you were happy but is that all?"
"Yes," Danica nodded her head in affirmation. Loney was still expressionless so she couldn't affirm whether he believed her or not. There was an awkward silence as Loney said, "I will go and shower. You can wait in my room."
Danica didn't argue and followed him. She sat on the couch in his room as he entered the shower. She began to explore the phone he gave her. It looked expensive and it was white her favourite colour. She wondered if Loney knew or if it was merely a coincidence.
A few minutes later, Loney was out of the shower. His hair was still wet and he was just in his boxers. Danica's eyes travelled to his V-section, just below his waist. His stomach was flat but muscled into packs of six. Danica bit her lower lip, as naughty thoughts began to evade her mind. "Are you ready?" Loney's deep alluring voice sparked sensations in her body.
"yes." Danica dropped the phone and stood up. She wanted to initiate it this time around but shyness swallowed her.
Loney strode to the light switch as he said, "I hope you've been counting the days. Let me know when it's time to stop. I don't want to take advantage of you," he turned off the light. What he meant was, he was sorry for taking advantage of her when he thought she was Daniella but naturally, Danica didn't understand it that way. His words rang deeply in her mind, capturing her thoughts. She wished it would never end but she also realized that Loney was serious with the contract. She appreciated the darkness, as Loney couldn't see the sad expression on her face.
"We still have a week. Then we pause for two weeks, after which I take the test." Loney's hands wrapped around her from behind as she spoke. She stiffened at the thought that it would soon be over. How could she live without this vicious pleasure he always gave her.
"Are you alright?" Loney's voice was deep but the alluring effect was greater at the feel of her in his arms. He wanted to make use of every single minute he had with her. He only had a week more.
"Yes," she eventually responded, as Loney's hands trailed her back and unzipped her dress. "You are tensed. We can let this night go and try again tomorrow." Loney thought she was uncomfortable but she was just menacing on how she was going to carry on without seeing him after the pregnancy. The thought scared her, talkless of him knowing Daniella was her twin, she decided to close her mind and enjoy the moment.
