Dangerous Desires Novel

Luke.

Dinner at Tia’s house was eventful. Her father got on my nerves at first, but soon we were able to patch things up and get along. I understood his pain. I had really insulted Tia the day I visited. I was ashamed that they heard everything I said. To couple that with the news that was going on about Elisabeth, I could understand why the man would be so mad. If it were under normal circumstances, I would have stayed and allowed him to voice his mind, but Tia was pregnant, and he was stressing her out. My wanting to leave was to give Tia peace.

We returned home and got ready for bed. Tia was the first to fall asleep. I snuggled into bed next to her, and she wrapped her arms around me and placed her hand on my chest. She did it while sleeping, and I smiled because holding me in her sleep had become a habit. I caressed her arms lovingly until I finally fell asleep. We woke up late in the morning, and I decided we should soak in the bath a bit. Tia had cinnamon-scented bath salts and bubble baths. She said it reminds her of me. So I opted to use it. With her between my legs, we soaked in the warm water, and I held her. “I cannot believe we are expecting Luke,” she said to me, and I hugged, caressed the skin of her arm and kissed her shoulder sweetly.

“It is a gift and a blessing from the goddess. I wasn’t expecting it either. I was going to wait for another heat period so we can try and keep trying until it happens. I did not know it had already happened for us.” I said, and she giggled a bit. We spent a while in the bathroom before leaving. Instead of remaining cooped up in the house, I decided to take her to Emilianos to eat. I knew it was a stupid choice since that was the place we went to when Luis sent his guy to try to kill us, but that was the best restaurant in town. The moment Tia noticed where we were going, she became a bit panicked. I had to calm her down and assure her everything would be alright. We ate lunch in peace and decided to take a walk in the park. People waved at us. Some people even brought Tia and me flowers which showed how people loved us. The fight at Eastwood had made me quite popular, and how Tia took charge made the people respect her.

We returned home to get ready for dinner at the moon mansion. When I told Tia about it, she cringed a bit, but it was inevitable. She wore something simple, and we left around five in the evening. Knowing we were on our way. Bart waited for us outside. I told him to make a salad for Tia so she would eat something before dinner started. I intend to discuss my findings with my father after dinner, so there was a possibility we would be spending the night at the moon mansion.

names and aspirations for the little Moon in Tia’s tummy. I noticed Kimberly was a bit sad about the situation, and I wished my brother would just accept that the baby was his, but he had reasons to doubt the baby was his, and I wasn’t planning on getting involved. After dinner, I told my father I would like to discuss something serious with him in the office. I also requested Caleb to join us. “Luna Tia, do you mind if I hang out with you while they have their meeting?” Kimberly asked Tia nicely, and Tia looked at me for approval. I linked her that it was okay, and she nodded at Kimberly. It was amazing to see how Kimberly wanted to be Tia’s friend. I linked my wife to be careful. It wasn’t like the girl had anything to benefit from hurting Tia, but I just did not trust anyone in the mansion. I watched them leave, and soon my father, Caleb and I went to the home office for the meeting. “Are you guys moving back in now that she is pregnant?” My father said, sitting at his desk, and I shook my head. Now that my mark was active, there was no point lying to him. “We have moved out, father and we are not coming back here. I have bought the house we are living in. I do not want to raise a family in this place, especially around the likes of Stacy. I also want Tia to live a stress-free life.” I said, and he was stunned. “How could…” He started, and I interrupted him. “I bet the tension in this house was part of why Tia didn’t conceive. I wouldn’t want to put her in a situation where she will miscarry. Please respect my decision, father,” I said, and he was highly disappointed. “Stacy told me you moved out, but

She will give it up immediately. The only reason she would want to hold on to that baby is to get money out of me, but once she realises she won’t be getting much, she will dump the child and move on with Joey.
