repair the damage that was done when the news story came out in the paper. I couldn’t very well call him while he was immersed in what he was doing. I knew that he was stressed out, between dealing with the fallout of the revelations while trying to get Natalia assimilated in the corporation. I didn’t want to pile on, so I didn’t call him.
    He finally made it home around midnight, and I went over to him and threw my arms around him. I held onto him tightly, so tightly that I was afraid I was going to choke him. But I couldn’t help it. I needed to feel his touch. I needed him to hold me and tell me it was all going to be okay.
    He laughed lightly. “What’s going on? You’re acting like you haven’t seen me in years.”
    “I’m just stressed. Viktor Kazakov paid a visit, and…”
    “What? Viktor was here? Why was Viktor here?”
    “He wanted to warn me about not telling anyone about Sophie. And he apparently bugged my old apartment. Or somebody did, because he knew that I didn’t bring it up with my mom.” We sat down, and Asher took my hand. “What are we going to do, Asher? My mother is going to go Defcon 1 when she hears about Sophie’s baby. I really thought, I really believed, that I would be able to tell my mother the truth. Now I’m going to have to pile this on her, along with everything else.”
    “We’ll just have to deal with it,” Asher said.
    “We can’t just deal with it. Listen, my mother is very important to me. I know that I shouldn’t care what she thinks, but I do. It’s bad enough that I’m married to the mob, as she puts it, but to find out that you’re about to have a child with Sophie…that’s going to send her over the edge. To say the very least.”
    “CJ, this isn’t going to be easy. None of it is going to be easy. But we’re going to navigate these choppy waters together. We have to be a team, here. You and me. As long as we’re in this together, we can get through it together. Now, tell me what I can do to smooth things over with her.”
    I sighed. “There’s not much you can do, Asher. My mother is going to disown both of us when that particular revelation makes itself known.”
    “Well, if it’s any consolation, this baby that she’s having is an insurance policy. As long as she has me by the short hairs, she won’t do anything to either one of us. She’ll be much more dangerous if something happens to that child.”
    “I guess that it some kind of a silver lining.”
    “It is. Now, come on, let’s go to bed. I know that you’ve had a stressful couple of days.
    So have I. But I have to get some sleep and be rested for tomorrow, because tomorrow is very important. I’m going to find out if my American contracts are going to be decimated or not.”
    “There’s not much more important than that,” I agreed.
    But, when we got into bed, Asher stroked my abdomen. “Hello there little baby,” he said.
    I laughed. “I’m like a week along. I doubt that this little baby can hear you.”
    “Even so,” he said. And then he started to gently lick my stomach, and ran his hands along my abdomen. He climbed on top of me, and I could feel his penis just outside the opening of my netherworld. “I hope you don’t mind, but I’m dying to be inside of you.”
    I nodded my head and wrapped my arms around the back of his neck. He kissed my mouth and gently nibbled on my ear while he grinded into me without actually putting his cock inside of me. He grabbed my hair and pulled my head back while he sucked on and licked my neck. One of his masculine hands cupped my breast and I felt the sense of ecstasy that I always felt when I was with him.
    He moved to the side of me, and put one leg over me while he continue to stroke my breast. I sighed as his lips once again found mine, and I tried to drink him in. To absorb his essence. “Do it,” I said. “I need to feel you inside of me.”
    He got on top of me, and he slowly made his way inside of me. I felt my
