Tory POV
My jaw slacked in surprise and embarrassment.
My fists grabbed fistfuls of Tony's hair and yanked with all my might. Finesse be d*mned.
I was so p*ssed at him right now.
“Ow! Ow! Ow!” He complained, placing his hands on either side of my waist but careful not to press too much.
I think he was trying to be gentle because of my condition, and I was glad h
Tory POVI slumped on the waiting bench, arms crossed over my chest, fully intending for Tony to see my reaction to his domineering ways.The man seemed unconcerned as he sat beside me.“Move a little. You are crowding me.” I snarled at him.He moved a little, but it was not far enough for my peace of min
Tory POVI must have shown my surprise because Tony lifted his hand and very gently caressed the side of my cheek with the pad of his thumb.“I just want to be here when the doctor confirms your pregnancy and shares the experience with you.”“But it feels awkward.” My voice sounds whiny, and I almost cringed when I heard it.Tony laughed, and I glared at him.
Tory POVThe doctor set aside her tools, taking me out of my contemplation.Afterward, she peeled the gloves off her hands and threw them in the trash bin nearby before she walked out and told me to go back to the office so we could talk.The nurse came back to assist me with my clothes, but Tony was quicker. He came inside right after Dr. Martha left.
Tory POV“So where is our first baby?”I looked at Tony wide-eyed, and tears smarted my eyes.“I, uh.” Words failed me while Tony pinned me with his most serious gaze. There was no judgment nor accusation on his face, only the intense need to know.And when Tony expressed an interest in s
Tory POVI swallowed and choked on my saliva. A fitful of vigorous coughs wracked my shoulder.Tony pats my back, concern wreathed his face. “Here.”He said when I still coughed vigorously.“The water must have taken a wrong turn,” I told him when I finally got my bearings back.Tony nodded, eyeing me intensely. He reached for the box of tissues on the dashboard and proffered it to me.I took out several pulls and dabbed them to my face and neck before fanning my neck with my hands.Tony returned the box of tissues and looked at me.The stare did not do me good. It made me feel naked when Tony stared at me like that.I turned to the window to fix my gaze outside, cutting his view.It was only then that I was able to breathe a little unhindered. Slowly, the tension in my body slightly dissipated.I heard him clear his throat, but I didn’t turn my head around. I don’t want to face him and his question yet, because right now, I really do not know how to answer him best.It was a sore s
Tory POVI gawked at him, stumped at the audacity by which he exerted dominance over me.It was stifling.The rebel in me rose to the surface.“Try me.”Instead of cowering from the bold challenge, Tony only chuckled, which insulted the h*ll out of me.“What’s funny?” I said.When he turned his head toward me, the repulsion magnified, making it impossible for me to resist reacting to the sarcasm shamelessly plastered on his face.Reflexively, my hand lifted, and I gave Tony a loud smack, surprising him and me when my palm hit his cheek with stinging force.It hurts!My eyes smarted, and my hand throbbed.It was painful but satisfying at the same time when I saw the sheer stupefaction in Tony’s face.His eyes grew large as if he could not believe that I would be capable of hurting him to this extent.The corners of my lips lifted in muted challenge.Tr
Tory POVIn any other circumstances, his message could have sent me to the moon, but I know the reason for the behavior was something else.Tony did not want to be with me because he wanted me.He only wanted me to be with him to ensure that he could see his child once I gave birth to it.Tony Richardson c
Cassy POV“Whose house is this, Daddy?” I heard the excitement in Oakley’s voice when she asked Caleb after the car pulled to a stop in front of our mansion. It was my turn to look questioningly at Caleb. The last time we went here, this place was undergoing renovations. “This is our home. The house where Mommy and Daddy used to live before you were born.” He told them, breaking into my thoughts. “Is it finished?” Confusion laced my voice, repeating what Caleb told the kids.Caleb nodded, winking at me. “I had the Master’s bedroom soundproofed with double-lock doors.” He informed me in a subdued tone, eyebrows wiggling. The naughty gesture made my cheeks hot while butterflies slowly fluttered in my stomach. He did not touch me. He only sent me a look, but it sent a special message that only my heart could decode. It sent a special signal to my body - filled with fire and sizzle!The temperature inside the front cabin subtly changed while Caleb shot me with his warm gaze, full o
