Her kiss was desperate and intoxicating like a powerful drug . It silenced his thoughts as Teresa pressed her lips to his eagerly
Jonathan’s Adam’s apple bobbed , but he didn’t react . He just let Teresa do whatever she wanted , neither pushing her away nor pulling her closer
After kissing him for a while , Teresa had to let go . She was out of breath .
Jonath
“ Love kissing me ? ” Jonathan asked , his voice rough
“ Yeah , ” Teresa replied .
He teased , “ Did it feel good ? Was it satisfying ? ”
Teresa snapped back to her senses , suddenly realizing the man in front of her wasn’t the 25 – year – old Jonathan she remembered . Then she shoved him away hard .
Jonathan , still reeling from the kiss before being pushed away , twitched his lips . “ What ? Is this how you treat me ? ” he thought .
Later that night . Teresa felt even worse . She glanced at the man lying next to her and instinctively scooted closer .
“ Jonathan , help me . You put me to bed and then ignored me . You can’t leave me behind , ” she complained.
“ Handle it yourself ,” Jonathan advised ,
Teresa rolled her eyes . “ How am I supposed to handle it myself ? ” she grumbled . She wasn’t a man , after all .
Jonathan still didn’t budge , lying on his side with his arm under his head .
Frustrated , Teresa turned him over and straddled him . She grabbed his neck with both hands and shook him , nearly at her wits end .
“ Help me , now ! Hey ! Jonathan , you can’t treat me like t
this ! ” she protested .
After a night of passion , Teresa woke up feeling like she wanted to crawl under a rock and disappear . She pressed a hand to her forehead , completely mortified by how she’d acted the night before .
She’d been both clear – headed and not because her impulses had totally overpowered her reason last night . In the end , she was only human , and everyone had their desires .
Without really thinking . Teresa drited her hand to her belly , wondering how the baby was doing . She made a mental note to get checked as soon as she
returned to Mareigh
At her last appointment , Jennifer had warned her to be extra careful . This second pregnancy might have a p
a posterior placenta , which meant she wouldn’t show as early . That kind of placenta usually led to more back pain , so Jennifer had told Teresa to be cautious .
Teresa’s back had always ached at night , but now the pain was worse , as if it might snap in two .
The door opened . Jonathan walked out of the bathroom , buttoning up his crisp white shirt with those long fingers . Teresa glanced quickly pulled the covers over her head , not sure how to face him .
“ If you can still move , get yourself to the dining room . If not , I’ll just have to carry you to breakfast , ” Jonathan teased .
“ I’m not some old lady . I can walk just fine , ” Teresa retorted .
Jonathan let out a low chuckle .

Teresa hadn’t expected him to be up so early . She thought he’d just taken a shower , but he’d already made breakfast ,
After a night of passion . Teresa was starving . She welled down her food , barely pausing for breath , Jonathan had even made her a special vegetable soup to help with her hangover , and she finished one bowl but was still hungry
“Is there any more ? I’m still hungry , ” she asked .
Jonathan ladled her another bowl , and when she’d nearly finished , he finally said slowly , “ Do you remember what you said last night ? ”
Teresa’s hand froze instantly . She coughed and replied coolly , “ Nope , I don’t remember ”
“ You don’t , huh ? ” Jonathan said in anger . He pulled out his phone and hit play on a recording .
As a series of intimate sounds filled the room , Teresa’s voice cracked through , breathless and broken .
“ It’s fine . You don’t have to worry
y about me this time . I’m in my safe period , so if I do end up pregnant , let’s face it together ,” Teresa said .
“ Face it together ? You promise ? ” Jonathan asked .
– Teresa murmured .
“ Do you love me ? ” Jonathan asked .
“ No- ” Teresa replied , her voice muffled by Jonathan’s kiss .
“ Do you love me ? Answer me again ,” Jonathan insisted .
“ Yes , I do . I love you , ” Teresa responded .
“ Who do you love ? ” Jonathan demanded .
“ I love you , darling ” Teresa replied .
