"You know, I didn't expect you to actually pick up my call because I thought you'd be making up for time lost", Xavier said in amusement.
Zach was fixing up the bed while Amy was in the bathroom. It was the evening of the second day she was hospitalized. They had already had dinner and were preparing to go to bed.
"Xav, what are you doing?"
"Taking a break from work. Why?"
"Okay. You're going to be an Uncle", Zach said almost immediately.
"Cool. Wait, WHAT????!!"
Zach picked up on the sound of something breaking followed by Xavier's curses after his surprised outburst.
"Shit! Say that again!"
"Yeah", Zach smiled as he rubbed the back of his neck. "But in a few months. There was a minor issue the other night but the doctor took care of it. Both she and the baby are fine now."
"Wow! Wow! Dude! Wow! I- Wow! Zach, you're about to be a Dad", he whispered the last part in disbelief.
"I know", his voice turned husky with raw emotion. Could life be any more perfect for him?
The two brothers fell silent appreciating their little moment: one excited that he's going to be a father and the other excited about being an Uncle. But a thought came to mind.
"But don't tell Mom yet, I don't want her coming down here. Amy and I still need to figure things out", he explained.
"Don't worry! But wow! Congratulations man!" He was genuinely happy for him.
"Thanks. And how is the search going?" He asked and turned when he heard the bathroom door open.
He walked over to Amy and held her by the waist as he helped her walk over to bed while she dragged her IV stand. Although he was on the phone, he was still attentive to every step she took. She could walk alone but she shamelessly let him hold her. She loved the feel of his body pressed against hers.
"I found her address but turns out she's out of town. I'm yet to find out where she went to", he sighed. "I don't know how you did it, but it's exhausting and so hard."
Zach analyzed himself. He never got tired of searching for Amy. If anything, each day without her was a push to do better the next day until he reached his goal. And what pushed him more was the communication she had with him. He was not satisfied with just talking, he wanted her physical presence. Amy raised her brows in question when she caught him staring.
He smiled as he looked at her dottingly, "It's all worth it when you find her."
She gave him her infamous smile as her eyes beautifully sparkled. Zach didn't stay on the phone any longer and ended the call. He put the phone away and helped her in bed.
"Who was that?" She adjusted her head on the pillow.
"My brother, Xavier", he answered as he adjusted the IV stand beside her bed.
"Oh! Is he looking for something? "
He sat down beside her. He had yet to shower so he thought to tuck her in first before going to the bathroom.
"Yeah, there's a woman he's looking for. He spent a night with her, they went their separate ways, and now he's looking for her. She seems quite special to him."
She chuckled, "You'd think it runs in the blood. Does he need help?"
"No. Love never comes easy. And I meant what I said, it's worth it once you find her", his gaze was deep and meaningful, piercing through her soul.
She could hear and see his emotions from his voice and eyes. Amy bit her lip feeling embarrassed from being watched by him. She noticed his gaze darken with raw desire from that little action. But she remembered something and her face contorted in annoyance.
"What's wrong?" He noticed her change in emotion.
"Don't look at me like that."
"How am I looking at you?" He hardly bit back an amused smile yet his voice remained deep and husky from desire.
"Like you want to kiss me when you won't", she grumbled.
She had experienced too many moments of Zach doing that. She was getting tired of the disappointment. She gasped in surprise when he climbed over and situated himself between her legs. His face was a few inches away from hers. He cupped her cheek with one hand and used the other to support himself so he doesn't crush her with his weight.
Amy's heart beat quickened and her senses hightened from their closeness. Her cheeks blushed red from his piercing gaze.
"Not won't, but can't", he corrected.
"Why?"
"A lot of reasons, my lack of self control being the first. It's hard for me to control myself when I'm with you especially knowing that underneath this gown", he hooked a finger under her collar and dragged it down revealing her cleavage.
"You're in nothing but your underwear. So if I start kissing you, I'll want to do something else besides kissing these luscious lips", he caressed them with his knuckles. "These fucking sexy tits", he caressed them sensuously and he pinched her gown covered nipples. She gasped at the electrifying feeling from his touch.
It was now he noticed that Amy's breathing had become erratic as her chest rose and fell. Her nipples became hard from his teasing. "And these lips down here", his hand went underneath the gown and squeezed her thigh.
He was afraid of hurting her since the doctor said she needed to heal. Amy let out a deep breath when she felt his hand on her thigh. She didn't know when she had held her breath.
"During the few months we've been apart, I've dreamt of nothing but be with you. Not just sexually, but romantically. There's a lot I want to do with you and to you, but I don't want to hurt you during your recovery period."
Her heart melted and the butterflies in her stomach did summersaults. It was just like Zach to be open about his thoughts and emotions towards her, she had learned this about him. His care and concern for her just melted her completely.
"But I want you to kiss me Zachery", She said in her soft voice.
"Amy...."
The look in her eyes was the answer he needed as a push. He dropped his head barely leaving an inch of space between them. Their smiles faded as their gazes remained glued on each other's lips. With one move,, his lips found hers.
They were soft just like he remembered them to be. She moved them against his remembering how he had guided her the first time. His hand moved to the back of her head tilting her. He bit her lower lip earning a moan from her.
His invaded her warm mouth with his tongue. He groaned against her mouth when their tongues intertwined and danced in rhythm, tasting every nook and cranny. She hooked her hands behind his neck and laced her fingers through his thick brown hair as his hand traveled back down to her thigh. She moaned when she felt his fingers dig against her skin.
She started to feel a bump against her crotch. He was subconsciously dry humping her. She clutched his hair and he growled in response as they deepened their kiss.
The temperature was quickly rising as the two hot bodies rubbed against each other. Amy felt a throbbing down there and groaned when she felt some sort of pain. Zach broke the kiss and worry was quickly etched on his features.
"Did I hurt you?"
"No, I'm fine", she told him.
"Are you sure? Let's call Dr. Glynne", He was clearly not convinced. This was what he was afraid of.
"I'm good, I promise", she assured him.
Suzy had warned her about experiencing mild pains. Maybe that was just this moment. And if she was bleeding again, she would know. She was just wet from the heated kiss they shared. She now understood why he said he'd lose control. But it didn't change the fact that she wanted his kisses. As though reading her mind, he pressed his lips to hers.
"I need to go shower otherwise we'll both be in trouble", he whispered.
She could feel him against her. The size of him never ceased to shock her. She blushed at the thought of it. Zach chuckled when he saw this, "What's going on in that pretty little head of yours?"
"Nothing", she responded with a shy smile.
He was about to counter when his phone vibrated. He fished it out from his pocket and looked at the message. It was from George. He showed the contents to her and her features lit up.
"It's done", he said.
"Finally."
