Neighbor from Hell

Late Night Talk

“They’re evil,” Trevor muttered against her belly, which was immediately followed by pressing a kiss against her belly through the Bradford Construction tee-shirt that she’d helped herself to from his closet before he turned his head and released a heartfelt sigh.

“What did they do now?” Zoe asked, placing her book down next to her on the bed and-

“Exist,” Trevor mumbled, making her lips twitch.

Knowing that he wouldn’t appreciate it if she smile right now, Zoe cleared her throat and wrapped her arms around him and began running her fingers through his hair. “What else did they do?”

Tilting his head back so that he could glare at her, he demanded, “That’s not enough?”

“It usually takes more to piss you off,” Zoe reminded him, watching as his eyes narrowed dangerously on her before he slowly, ever so slowly, went back to using her as a pillow.

“I’m not pissed,” Trevor grumbled, following that up with another kiss.

“Then, what are you?” Zoe asked, staring up at the ceiling as she ran her fingers through his hair, losing herself in the soothing gesture while she went over everything that she had to do in the morning.

“Deeply concerned,” he muttered, making her frown.

A Bradford Easter

“Sweetheart, I-”
“No,” Charlie murmured around a sniffle as she pointedly looked away.
“I’ll make this up to you after the baby’s born,” Devin said, leaning over to kiss his wife’s cheek only to have her turn over as much as her large belly would allow so that she could bury her face against the pillow with an incoherent mumble.
Sighing heavily, Devin stood up and-
“You don’t love me,” came the sadly mumbled words that had Devin dropping his hand away so that he could narrow his eyes on the woman that was driving him crazy.
“Because I won’t let you out of bed so that you can see the Easter Bunny?” Devin asked, only to feel his lips twitch when Charlie nodded against the pillow.

The Betrayal

The R.L. Mathewson Chronicles

“Do you still want to pout?” came the softly murmured question that had Cayley releasing a heartfelt sigh, mostly because she felt that it would help make this better.
“I’m sorry it’s taking so long, sweetheart,” Bryce whispered softly in her ear as he pressed his lips against the back of her neck while he continued caressing her large belly.
“I’m so hungie,” Cayley mumbled sadly as she shifted back against her husband as she stared out the window.
“I know you are, sweetheart,” Bryce said as Cayley released another heartfelt sigh as she shifted her attention from the window to the bathroom as she debated her options and-
She’d put this off for long enough.
