He helped me off the stool and after grabbing a few things we said goodbye to Jenny and Kip. They told me not to be a stranger, and that I could use Finn’s membership anytime I wanted to visit. He feigned hurt, as if I would show up without him, and we headed out into the brisk morning air.

“You bought me ice cream, specifically for the gym.” I sounded accusatory, but not unhappy. “You bought me gym ice cream!”

His smile was as radiant as I felt. We collapsed into our seats in the truck, laughing at the absurdity of our morning. He stopped laughing before I did and inhaled deeply before speaking, “I take it you like Wadey Weights?”

“I love it! Jenny is a ball of energy, and Cal and Kip seem like really good people.”

He nodded, biting his lower lip. “I’m glad you came.”

“I am too.”

I surprised myself with the words, because Idid notlike to work out. But this morning wasn’t half bad. I expected it to be worse, stuffy, formal, strict. Instead Cal and Kip made it fun and engaging.

Finn dropped me off at Fixin’ To I Do with my bag of clothes for work tucked under my arm.

Before I closed the door I turned and found Finn’s eyes on mine. “Thank you.”

He smiled before he drove off, leaving me there with my thoughts churning.

Cravings for physical touch had always been my kryptonite. I knew this, and I understood it. I just didn’t understand the constant need to get off recently. I wished I did, maybe my body would stop waging war with my brain over it.

This time the craving hit harder, and nothing I’d done was coming close to what my body was warring for. I’d tried the bathtub with the jets on and….nothing.

I had tried every trick I’d mastered while learning my body and nothing was coming close to the absoluteneedI had roaring through my body.

Feeling Finn grow beneath me yesterday had my already horny brain intensified to the point that I was about to come apart at the seams.

I debated calling the doctor, surely this wasn’t normal for pregnant women to be this horny. However, I did not trust myself to keep cool, calm, and collected, and who wants their doctor to know that they’re a fucking mess because they need to get laid?

My thoughts floated to the man who had starred in all of my fantasies since that dark hallway escapade. The way he took charge and whispered filthy words into my ear as he made my body sing with a fire I didn’t know it could muster.

I knew I shouldn’t, but the urge to call Finn was getting stronger. I knew that he thought I was with Eli, but I couldn’t stop the hunger in my bones. With every passing second my body took over my common sense, and I found myself dialing the number I’d been loath to for weeks.

He answered on the first ring, as if he was staring at my contact too, just waiting for me to call. “Ronnie?” His gruff voice sent shivers over my body, nerves lighting up the fine hairs everywhere on my body.

“Can you come over?” I blurted, trying to hold in the pants of need in my chest. “Please, I-I need your help.”

When he didn’t answer my hopes sank and my libido revved up even more than I thought possible. I felt like I was going to come out of my skin with the need to orgasm.

Pregnancy hormones are no joke.

“I’ll get back to you.” He said, his voice sounded far away, as if he covered the speaker with a hand. Then the tale tale ‘click’ sounded in my ear as the phone call disconnected.

“Ughhh.” I stomp my feet all the way to the couch. Exasperated and ready to combust. I couldn’t even think about solo play anymore, it just wasn’t enough and ended up frustrating me even more. I should have known he’d blow me off, just like he did before.

A knock on my door not long after I’d tossed my phone on the couch startled me and my robe fell open.

“Ronnie?” Finn’s voice came through the thin door and I bolted up from where I’d collapsed rather dramatically. The floors suddenly felt too cold on my bare feet, when I made my way to the door.

Unlocking the door I pulled it wide open, forgetting my robe was open and exposing my very naked body to anyone in the hallway. Thank goodness Finn was a big ass man, because no one would be able to see around him anyway.

“Ronnie.” He growled, as his eyes roamed my bump, the swells of my breasts.

“I need you.” I whimpered, too keyed up to really care that I sounded like an absolute feral cat in heat.

I didn’t care that he got here in a suspiciously quick time. Not when he groaned and pushed me back inside. Kicking the door shut with his boot he pulled my robe closed, securing the ties loosely and my pride took the kick straight to the heart. I knew he could see the way I needed this in the way my face fell and tears began to gather in my eyes. Frustration and regret were already taking up root in my soul.

“I know it’s not fair for me to ask, but I really need this Finn.” I couldn’t stand this itching need burning inside me anymore. “Please, I nee–-”
