Free Limitless (Journey Series) by C.A. Williams Page A

Don’t go messing around with every girl throwing herself at you while
you’re out on the road. It will just lead to trouble.”
    Teddy’s eyes cast downward and he
answered with a quiet, “Yes, ma’am.” I knew Teddy had barely any relationship
with his own mother, so he looked up to mine as his own. Maybe her words would
actually stick in that thick head of his. Yeah, probably not.
    We dropped Teddy off on our way
home. Leah had been quiet since we left my mom’s house, but she slid her body
across the seat, latching the middle belt across her lap and laying her head on
my shoulder. Apparently, she had forgiven me a little for opening my big mouth.
I just couldn’t help myself.
    “I think I want a girl,” she said
quietly right before we pulled into the driveway. I didn’t say anything back,
but inside I was jumping up and down like a little kid jacked up on sugar.
Maybe she was finally starting to accept this whole pregnancy thing. “I mean, I
would be happy either way, but I want to do all the girly stuff that I get to
do with Belle. Do her hair, buy pink clothes, and play with baby dolls. I think
that sounds like fun.”
    “I’m glad, baby.” I opened up the
door and scooped her out of the truck, carrying her to the front door.
“Whatever that little baby is, it will get spoiled like crazy.” She giggled
when I set her down to slide the key into the lock and before I scooped her up
again to carry her inside, I leaned down to place a kiss on her stomach.
    I deposited her onto our bed and
slowly removed each piece of clothing. I gazed down at her beautiful naked body
before quickly removing my own, while the whole time she looked up at me with
that look that was solely meant for me. I kissed every inch of her body,
hovering over her flat stomach, imagining how it would look in a few months.
     Her hands moved to the back of my
head and she pulled me down to her, pressing her lips against my jaw and
working her way to my mouth. I slid inside of her slowly, taking my time,
making love to my wife like I always should. We both found our release and lay
there together in each other’s arms for what felt like hours.
    She fell asleep, lightly snoring
and I kissed her belly one last time. “I love you, babies.” I slipped into the
shower and when I came back out, wrapped in a towel, she was awake propped up
on her elbow. “What are you doing awake? You looked like you were passed out
for the rest of the night.”
    “Yeah, I thought so too but I’m
starving.” I smirked when she flopped back onto her pillow and rubbed her
stomach.
    “I’ll get you something, I’ll be
right back.” I grabbed a million different snacks before heading back to the
bedroom and setting the tray down on the bed. “So, I needed to talk to you
about something.”
    “Okay, I’m listening,” she mumbled
in between chews of a cookie. I blew out a breath, hoping her nonchalant
attitude wouldn’t change, but I knew that wasn’t going to happen.
    “So, you know how I told you about
that one student, Brittany, who is always staying after class and flirting with
me?”
    She nodded her head at me, so I
just continued. “Well on Friday, I got called into the office by the principal
and a few of the school board members. Apparently, Brittany is claiming I made
a few inappropriate remarks and made the moves on her.”
    I stopped to take in her reaction
and she burst out laughing. Tears were streaming down her cheeks, that was how
hard she was laughing. Not what I was expecting.
    “Oh my god, I knew your sexiness
would come back and bite you in that fine ass of yours someday. I told you how
you have that whole bad boy vibe, and then you wear those black rimmed glasses
on top of that. Who couldn’t resist you? I just don’t understand why she would
try and get in you in trouble. Doesn’t that kind of throw her whole game off?”
    “Leah, I don’t think this is
something to laugh about. This is serious, I could lose my job over it.
