Lilly winced in pain.
Jason hovered over her, pressing a kiss to her soft earlobe. "This is your punishment, Lilly!"
Lilly bit down hard on Jason's shoulder.
A dark, predatory gleam flared in Jason's eyes. He pinned both of her wrists down and took her with unyielding dominance.
Lilly genuinely had no idea how she and Jason had ended up in bed again. They had broken up, yet somehow, they were inexplicably tangled up with each other once more.
He had literally just returned from a date with Pattie.
Lilly felt a sharp twinge in her lower back. She was pregnant, and she knew that being this rough during the first trimester was a dangerous game. She was terrified of hurting the baby.
"Jason, gentler, it hurts!"
But Jason was in no mood to be gentle. She had played him for a fool over and over again. On his way back, he had already decided exactly how he was going to punish her.
"Take it," Jason scoffed, his voice rough and gravelly.
Lilly's brows furrowed in agony. "Jason, it really hurts. Please don't do this. I'm begging you."
He hadn't wanted to listen to her, but seeing her face grow increasingly pale, he realized she might actually be in distress. He reached out, gently cupping her cheek. "Where does it hurt?"
"My stomach hurts," Lilly whispered.
Jason glanced down at her flat abdomen. "You little liar. Why would your stomach hurt?"
"It really does. Inside my stomach..."
There was a baby.
But Lilly couldn't bring herself to say the words out loud. She couldn't tell him yet.
Jason stared at her stomach. "What's wrong with it?"
Suddenly, a thought seemed to strike him. "Your stomach..."
Did he guess it?
He leaned down and captured her lips again.
Lilly knew there was no escaping him tonight. Besides, her body was already betraying her. She had always loved him, loved the way he touched her.
But the baby...
Placing her small hands on his solid chest, she shoved hard, pushing him flat onto his back.
She quickly scrambled over him, straddling his waist.
Fire ignited in Jason's eyes. His large hands gripped the soft curve of her waist as he chuckled hoarsely. "What are you doing?"
"I like taking the lead," Lilly said breathlessly.
Jason was suddenly transported back to the very first time they had tasted forbidden fruit. In that cramped little room, the vibrant, beautiful girl had sat atop him, guiding them through a clumsy, innocent exploration until they reached the peak together.
Why was Jason so hopelessly in love with Lilly? Because she represented the most beautiful era of his life.
He pulled her down for a kiss. "Alright."
