My Surprise Mate

I sat on the barstool as Dane cooked us breakfast.

I slept better than ever last night and woke up feeling rejuvenated this morning.

Dane was mouthwatering.

I couldn't help but ogle him as he stood there shirtless in front of the stove.

His pajama pants hanging low enough on his hips to have me daydreaming of other things. What I really want for breakfast is his massive...

“Not yet..." Isnapped my eyes up to see Dane smirking at me.

* What?" I was confused.

Had he been talking to me? “I can not only feel your arousal, but I can smell it.” he tapped his nose as his eyes glazed over me.

I felt my cheeks burn with embarrassment.

"And why not?” I raised my eyebrows teasingly at him, waiting for his response.

“You need more rest and I want to check with Dr.

I hoped that Zayd would be able to come up with something.

Dane started a movie, and it didn't take long for me to doze off.

I was just so comfortable in his arms that I couldn't helpit.

/t's almost time.

\wasinthe woods, darkness peeking through the trees.

I could see the silhouette of a womaninthedistance.

/williseeyousoon.

The voice was gentle, familiar even.

I sat up gasping for air, startling Dane.

" What happened?” he asked as I looked around the room.

"Was someone here?” He looked at me questioningly as he nodded his head, “No, why?” Concern flashed through his eyes as he stared at me, his hand gently caressing the top of mine.

I took a deep breath as I started to relax again, “I wasin the woods, and it was so dark.

There was a full moon, and I could see a woman in the distance.

All she said was it's almost time and she would see me soon.” I looked at Dane, “I don't know who she was, but I wasn't scared, she seemed familiar somehow.” He sat thinking, “Do you feel like going to the packhouse? Zayd may have found something, and we can talk to him and mom about you hearing this voice.” He followed me to the room, sitting on the bed, as I got dressed.

I swear it's like my baby bump is growing quickly.

I slid on a pair of maternity tights and a fitted V-neck long sleeve shirt.

I was staring at my reflection in the floor-to-ceiling mirror Dane had hanging in our closet.

How big would I end up getting? Dane's hands slipped around me, “You are so beautiful,” he across my skin.

He stood behind me with both of his hands resting on my growing belly, “I guess I'm ready to go now.” We walked hand in hand to the packhouse.

A few people stopped to introduce themselves to me and let me know they hope I feel better. Dane led me up the stairs to his office where Zayd and Adria were waiting for us.

“What'd you find?" he asked his dad as we took a seat.
