Chapter 29 making a decision

The day had been a tiring one for grace and getting home, she kicked off her shoes while moving to the bathroom to set her bath. Massaging her temples, she went to her fridge as she waited for her bathtub to fill with heated water. Taking a vanilla ice cream, she had been craving all day. She changed her clothes to a robe and carried the ice cream to her tub. There, she soaked in the water while taking her ice cream. It was at this point that she could think of Alex freely from the confines of his office.

He had driven her crazy with his attentiveness. Besides that had been distance and gentlemanly behavior. Every touch and brush of his hands had heightened her desire for him and at this point, she was wound up. Maybe it was because she was pregnant, but she wanted him with a voracity that she could not explain. Apart from being preoccupied with the threats she had received; she had found a safe haven.

She felt the familiar stirrings of in-depth hunger consume her from within. The water caressing her nipples while swishing back and forth. She desired to just masturbate and be done with it but she had already tried that. The end result had been that she had not gotten an orgasm and nowadays she was a walking horny woman. Taking a deep breath, she submerged herself beneath the water and held her breath for a few seconds before rising up.

Maybe she really should have sex with Mr. sexy pants. What did she have to lose in any case? She was already ready to have sex as it would not affect her fetus. That night, she slept fitfully and waited for the next day. She would put herself on the way and see if Alex wowed still take her up on her offer.

Waking up the next day earlier than usual, she took her time to prim herself, taking care to apply a soft touch of makeup. She had been growing fuller over the past days, her breasts becoming heavier, her nipples darker. Apart from the increasing stomach and weight, she had generally increased in size. She chooses a black stretcher dress that hugged and showed off her baby bump a little. Inside, she had chosen sexy lingerie and so feeling sexy she strutted, putting on flats. Outside she finished off the look with a pink blazer and she knew she looked smoking hot.

She did not know why but with time she had gotten a phobia of having heels while pregnant, no matter how short they were. The drive to her workplace today had seemed much shorter and longer at the same time. She had not even realized that she had gotten off from the apartment too early such that Alex didn’t give her a ride. Her thoughts tumbling, she straightened her shoulders and with confidence moved towards their office.

She felt shy talking about some things but maybe she would show some signs and he would get the hint. opening the office, she found it-empty, looking at her hand watch, she realized that she was early to work a whole thirty minutes. Arrrgh, what to do. It was at that moment that her phone rang.

Picking up, Alex’s voice boomed through the speaker. “Good morning, what happened you were not at your house this morning. I’d thought we would go to work together. Feeling suddenly shy and nervous, she stammered a bit before telling him that she had already arrived at the office. After the phone call was cut, she breathed a breath of relief while wandering why her mind had not remembered that she could have simply gone to his house and told him her decision.

Okay, she had work today and even though her feelings were pressing, they would have to wait. Sitting at her desk, she started working on some files that she had left behind the previous day, as well as updating her boss’s schedule. When she roused from her work one hour later, her boss was getting in, and if not for the door closing, she would not have heard him. Looking at her work, she felt like just laughing and crying at the same time. Her laptop had long gone into sleep mode, while her boss's schedule was halfway done.

She had not even realized that she had spent most of her time trying to think about how she would broach the subject of sex with her boss. She had gone through a series of would-be scenarios that should concern a model on the runaway, not her. maybe she would stand and then she would trip on nothing embarrassing herself before him. Or she would present herself to him and he’d be flippant about it. What if he didn’t like her. okay, he did not really like her, maybe he just wanted her to serve as a booty call. Oh well, this wouldn’t hurt; besides it wasn’t like she wanted a relationship out of the whole thing.

Requesting more time to go through the planner, she organized her thoughts as she made him coffee. None of those worst-case scenarios would really happen and if she did not let the cat out of the bag at this time, she would be restless the whole day. So, she timed when Alex stood to remove his suit. Taking it from him to put it on the coat holder, she made a bold move and made a move to kiss him on his mouth. The result was a bumping of noses and a tooth. Making her blink back tears of pain. As she rubbed her nose tearfully, Alex looked at her as though asking what the hell was going on.
