Free The Rocker That Holds Me by Terri Anne Browning

cheese sandwich with tomato and bacon sounded heavenly. As I entered the house from the side door that lead into the living room I found Shane and Nik watching Sports Center on the ninety inch flat screen against the far wall.
    “You guys hungry?” I asked as I passed the sectional on my way to the bathroom. I needed to pee like…Well like a pregnant woman! My bladder felt like it was the size of a watermelon it was so full.
    “I could eat.” Shane told me. “What ya making?”
    “Sandwiches.” I called, rushing into the bathroom. When I sat down it felt so good to relieve myself that I actually moaned.
    After I washed my hands I went straight to the kitchen and started frying more bacon. I guess that was going to be my go to crave food, but I was okay with that. Bacon is awesome! I made a platter of sandwiches. BLTs, grilled cheese, turkey clubs. I was shoving a bacon strip in my mouth when Nik walked in.
    “God, it smells good in here.” He pulled a beer from the fridge and popped the top off. “That ocean air makes a man hungry.”
    I rolled my eyes at him, grinning. “Really? And when have you been outside to smell that ocean air?” He grinned sheepishly and picked up a BLT. “Pig.”
    “Can I help it that you make the best sandwiches in the world?” He pulled me close with his free hand. Those ice blue eyes captured mine and I was entrapped in their beautiful depths.
    His hand stroked down my side, making my heart stop. I wasn’t used to Nik touching me like this. I have craved it, yes. But up till th at moment I had never thought I would be on the receiving end of his caressing touches. When his hand drifted over my hip, the one with my tattoo, and pulled me closer to his side I went willingly.
    I raised my hand and touched his chest. His heart was racing. The heat of his skin burnt me and I leaned in, wanting to taste the skin exposed by his tee shirt just above his collar bone. I wanted to lick up his neck and nibble on his ear. I wanted…
    “Lunch.” Drake rubbed his hands together as he came into the kitchen, his hair crazy from his long nap. “Awesome, I haven’t had a grilled cheese in forever.”
    Feeling weak I pulled away from Nik. He dropped his hand down by his side, his jaw tight. I put Drake a plate together and handed him a bag of chips before putting my own sandwich together. My heart was beating me to death and my fingers trembled as I stacked bacon and tomatoes on my grilled cheese.
    The other’s came in and we all sat down to have another meal together. This was nice, truly wonderful. We rarely got to eat like this. It was always take out and on the run, never homemade and never together. This vacation was already worth every penny that I had hated spending.
    --
    Naps are wonderful. Sleep is divine.
    I have slept more in the last two days than I have in weeks. Yesterday I fell asleep out on my lounger after lunch. Then this morning I slept in until noon after going to bed at barely eight o’clock the night before. Now it is barely three in the afternoon and my eyes are already feeling heavy.
    Yawning I tossed my book on the beach towel beside my lounger and stretched my arms above my head. As I do the material of my bikini top stretches and I notice something that I have been blind to up until that moment. My boobs are huge! They are at least a cup size bigger than what I would normally be. This news delights me and I grin as I close my eyes. This pregnancy thing isn’t so bad after all…
    Cool droplets hit my skin and I shriek as I set up on the lounger, pulled from my blissful sleep. With a glare at Nik I shoved my sun glasses up off my face and into my hair. “You ass!”
    He chuckled in that deep, deliciously sexy way of his and dropped down beside of me on the lounger. His wet swim trunks press against my bare, warm thigh and I smacked him on the stomach. “You’re freezing, Nik. Is the water really that cold?”
    “Nah. Feels good to me.” He took my glasses off my
