Their Secret Obsession by Pippa Moon

Chapter 0278

Knox POV

"I've missed you." She admitted, her tone laced with truth, which had my heart soaring.

"Not as much as I've missed you," I said earnestly. There was a pause, the air thick with unspoken words. Then, without warning, she closed the gap between us, her lips finding mine. The kiss was electric, igniting every nerve ending. I wrapped my arms around her, pulling her gently against me, mindful of her belly.

"Finally." Havoc purred with satisfaction as we gave in to our need for each other, our tongues dancing together like they were made just for the other. We were perfect together, and that was all because of her. When we pulled apart, I rested my forehead against hers; the feeling of my skin against hers sent something unusual through my body, not quite the sparks I am used to when we are close but rather, a small, unexpected shock.

"What the fuck." I mused to Havoc, who sighed, feeling the distance, too.

"Maybe it is the pregnancy," He offered, clearly unsure and wanting to soothe his own fears as well as my own.

"You don't know how long I've wanted to do that," I whispered, dismissing my apprehensions and just being in the moment with her.

"Maybe I do." She smiled, her eyes shining. I brushed a strand of hair from her face.

"Why couldn't you sense me earlier?" I asked, unable to hide the curiosity and fear eating at me. Had she rejected me during my missing moments, her hesitation was not have helped my pounding heart.

"Because you smell like a badger's ass!" She snorted, her laughter contagious and forcing me to smile. "No, seriously, Stud, you stink; it's hard to sense you when you smell almost as bad as him." She admitted toeing the floor just in front of where Mike hung. "Hey, that's not nice." I laughed, lifting her chin to force her to look at me, only then spotting the pain behind her eyes. "Hey angel, what's wrong?" I asked, needing to know what was bothering her.

"It's complicated." She voiced, her eyes lowering to the ground, her fingers absentmindedly circling her bump. Did she have any idea how beautiful she was?

"How so? What do you mean?" I frowned, not sure I liked the sound of where this was going.
