Forever Mine Box Set (BWWM, African American, Interracial,and Multicultural) by Erica Storm Page A

know if he said that I’m black and having a baby. They were expecting him to move down with his wife and if I show up at his office pregnant, a black girl, half his age, it could be bad if they aren’t prepared.”
    “Matt is not the kind of man, you can see how he’s proud of you, and he’s in a position that he doesn’t give a rat’s ass about what other people think. He’s overjoyed to have you and the baby. I bet he told everyone about you. I’m just suggesting that as long as you two aren’t married, there are she wolves like Alecia hunting. And it would be good to scout out the competition.”
    “Seth, we better get some work done because this conversation is going nowhere.” He gave me something to think about and more anxieties.
    “When was the last time you two had sex?” He asked. I paused, I had to think but I wasn’t about to discuss our sexual habits with Seth.
    “That long?” Seth said shaking his head and twisting his mouth.
    “You need to find out if that secretary of his is sitting in on those meetings. She probably should be taking her ass home to her kids or husband, or if she’s single, she should be fired.”
    “Oh, this conversation has gone too far. I can’t interfere in Matt’s business, and I don’t want him to know I’m jealous.” My phone rang. I thought it was Matt. I rushed to pick up the land phone.
    A sexy woman’s voice came over the speaker. I hit a button so Seth couldn’t listen in. I didn’t want him to put any more ideas into my head. I clearly recognized the voice, it was Matt’s secretary.
    “Miss Cross. This is...”
    “Yes, I know. I recognize the voice.” I was curt and a little nasty.
    “I just wanted to inform you that Mr. Cross said that he would be late getting home.” I didn’t want her to know that I was upset, and I tried to get control of my voice, but I couldn’t disguise my disappointment, and she couldn’t disguise the pleasure and relief I heard in her words.
    After putting the phone down, I sat in silence looking at Seth. He shook his head, making me feel worse. I told Seth that we would have to do this another time. He hugged me good bye, and said that he was sorry for upsetting me. And that I really didn’t need him butting into my business. And that he wouldn’t interfere any more.

Chapter 2
    I crawl into bed and finally close down my mind and eyes, but my eyes open checking the clock on the bedside table. I see ten o’clock slip by, and eleven, and finally at a quarter to twelve, the door opens to the bedroom. It’s dark and Matt’s standing in the light from the hall. I see the silhouette of his wonderful body and all my thoughts of him being unfaithful are thrown away. 
    Matt saunters over to the bed, leans in to kiss me, and rubs my stomach. Then he sees me looking at him in the dark.
    “I thought you were asleep,” he says to me.
    “Why?” Where have you been?”
    “I’ve been in the guest bedroom showering. I got home about eleven and you were knocked out. I had something to eat and I came in to sleep with my baby, I mean my babies.” He runs his hand over my belly. Climbing into bed, I feel his bare chest and his penis on my butt rocking back and forth on me.
    “I meant where have you been?” I managed to turn around with Matt’s help. I didn’t want his help and I pushed his hands away. There was a dimness and sadness to his green eyes when I pushed his hands away from me.
    “What’s wrong? Didn’t Bree call you?”
    “Yes, Breanne called. Why do you call her Bree and I call her Breanne?”
    “Because it saves time. I’m all about saving time.”
    “For what to spend it with someone else?” He looks at me as if I’m insane and I probably am. Women have been known to do crazy things when they are pregnant, and I was saying and doing things that were unnatural to me.
    I shouldn’t doubt Matt’s love for me, but Alecia had been sowing doubts early, and now I’m beginning to question his commitment
