“What kind of law did you want to practice?”
“Family law.It probably wouldn’t be too helpful for your business, though.”
“Why would it need to be?”
“I don’t know.I mean, why else would you invest in something like that?”
“For you, Raven.I want you to be happy.Let’s look into some schools for you.Something with online options so we can still travel when needed would be helpful.Who knows, maybe someday the future Mrs.Haynes will open her very own practice.”
The smile that lit up her face was like nothing I had ever seen.If this is what Raven looked like when she was truly happy, then I was going to spend every day making sure she smiled just like that.
“Do you really think I could do it?”
“I’m certain you could.”
“But what about starting a family?That’s important to you.”
“It is, and I’ll make sure you don’t overdo it with classes if we choose to do both.There is no rush.You can take your time to finish and still have time for me and our children.”
“We are sitting here talking like this is forever.”
“For me it is.I don’t want anyone else, Raven.Only you.”
She pushed herself up from me and sat back.My cock was fucking angry it couldn’t get inside of her, but this conversation was important.I needed her to have something to concentrate on, something to keep her busy so she didn’t feel like a burden.It would also be nice to keep her distracted from what I really do for a living.I could sit here and talk to her about babies and businesses, but the reality of who I was and what I did wasn’t something I was ready for her to learn.I needed more time to prove to her I was a good man, regardless of what she would hear about me.
Time and Talia
Raven
Ithadbeenabouttwo weeks since Leo came and told me what he had learned about Talia.He would text Beckett updates, but I still hadn’t had a chance to talk to her.Today, that was all supposed to change.
“You have your phone, right?”Beckett asked for the third time as he got ready for work.
“Yes, it’s on the charger.”
“I want you to keep it on you.Leo said you wouldn’t have long to talk, but if he said today is the day, then it is.I don’t want you to miss out on this.”
He came back to the bed and leaned over to kiss me goodbye.Since our first night together, he hadn’t let me back into my bedroom to sleep.I could spend time there during the day, but that was it.Most of my clothes and everything I needed to get ready were now moved into Beckett’s bedroom.He insisted he felt better when I was close and I had to admit I melted at those words because I felt the same way.
“You will call me if you need me, right?”
“Yes, I’ll be fine.I promise.”
“We don’t know the specifics of Talia’s situation, and if you learn anything that upsets you, I want you to call me and I’ll come home.”
“Yes, sir,” I said, rolling my eyes.
“You’re playing with fire, Raven.You know what calling me ‘sir’ does to my cock.”
I smiled up at him and then reached for his belt.“I suppose you could stay just a little longer, couldn’t you?”
A low laugh came from him as he kissed me again.“Maybe I just need to retire.We have more than enough money.I could just spend the rest of my days working to keep you pregnant.”
He ran his hand over my belly, as he had done almost every chance he got.I hadn’t started my period, but I would soon, and I had all the telltale signs it was coming.I was too embarrassed to admit it saddened me, and telling him I wasn’t actually pregnant would be the worst part.
“No, go.I’ll be fine.You know I’m just kidding with you.Besides, I have a conference call with the University at eleven.You won’t want to sit through that, anyway.”
He straightened and went to the dresser.I watched as he put his watch on and slid his wallet into his pocket.“That’s where you are wrong, baby girl.I would sit through hell if I were with you.Call me when it’s done.I want to hear how it goes.”
