The man’s gaze flickered back, his emotions unreadable. “You’re not willing?”
Whitney bit her lip, troubled. She barely knew him, yet a child was on the way–a result of an unexpected

Whitney paused, confused.
His lips twisted into a sly smile, though his tone remained serious. “But I have a profound respect for life. We’re going to have this baby.”
His assertiveness took her aback, and Whitney suddenly understood his meaning. Her face flushed with embarrassment.
He strode coldly towards the door, which was suddenly blocked by an excited voice. “Little brat, if you dare come out tonight, I’ll keel over right here!”

Whitney, bewildered, asked, “Who’s that outside?”
“Your mother–in–law, Natalie.”

He returned with a dark expression, pulling her towards the bed. His voice was a low, enticing whisper, “Will you play along?”
“With what?”
“Acting out our wedding night.”

He frowned, then suddenly pinned her to the headboard, his hands reaching for the ties of her dress.
“Ah! What are you doing?”
“Do you know how now?” He asked, one eyebrow raised in mischief.
Giggles of delight sounded from beyond the door. “Thank the Lord, the boy finally knows what he’s doing!”
Pinned awkwardly beneath him, Whitney’s bare shoulders glistened like cream, and he glanced over them, his gaze darkening as he inhaled a sweet fragrance.
