Then I turned to Gregory, "Let's head home. We should drop Chris off first.” To my surprise, Christine waved her hands dismissively, “Oh, don't bother about me. I've got nothing pressing. I'll stay here at the hospital with Ramona. Better that than having you, a pregnant lady, worrying al night long, unable to eat or sleep properly. Wouldn't want that affecting my goddaughter's growth now, would we?" I couldn't help but laugh. "Is it really that serious?" "If I say it is, then it is." Christine usheredout of the room, "It's getting late. Go home, take a nice shower, and get sgood sleep. And remember to bringmy favorite lobster bisque for lunch tomorrow!"

His eyes smoldered with a hint of desire, "Didn't you say you were going to helpwith my bath?" "Wait, when did I say that?" I was utterly confused.
Then it hit me.
"I can help you bathe, but... can you really sleep tonight?" He had latched onto that offhand comment.
That cunning man! Seeing my expression change, Gregory raised an eyebrow, "Remember now?" "I..." As I regained my composure, I noticed he had already stripped down, revealing his muscular physique. My cheeks burned with embarrassment.

I couldn't tell if it was anger at his audacity or embarrassment from his flirtation that madeblush so.
Before I could sort through my feelings, Gregory's hands found their way to to my dower back, his kiss gently landing on me. I trembled slightly, wanting to push him away but ultimately not wanting to.
