Not your typical baby mama - Chapter 271 Amy’s Frustration; Zach’s Amusement

“That doesn’t make it any better.”

“I know, but I believe that’s the reality otherwise I’m sure they would have pounced on the opportunity to use Roserie against us should they have known about us. For now, even if they know about our family, they can’t do anything about it if it doesn’t benefit them. Right now, we’re not very useful to them”, he joked.

She broke into a laugh making him smile. He preferred this side of her than when she was sad. She took in his words and found herself nodding in agreement. Everything he said made sense. Zach pulled her in, burying her face into his chest.

“We’ll get through this before you know it”, he promised with a kiss atop her head before he rested his chin on it.

“I trust that. I trust you”, she said whilst getting cozy in his embrace. “Babe?”

“Hm?”

She lifted her head to look into his blues that gave her butterflies when he looked at her as he is now. “Thank you. Now I know why people say ‘you’re my rock’ to their partners, because you really are to me. Thank you.”

“It’s my pleasure…. and honor”, he said with a smile. He grabbed the nape of her neck and pressed his lips against hers, brushing them slowly like waves crashing against the shore.

“Mm…” She grabbed his shirt, pulling him closer.

Zach slipped his tongue inside her mouth to greet hers. Amy felt a pleasant twist in her stomach and she curled her toes, moaning into the kiss.

Her temperature was quickly rising…. His tongue sensuously claimed it’s territory in her warm mouth,tasting and sucking. She felt a fire of raw desire ignite within her threatening to burn down all reasoning and self restraint.

It was just a kiss and he wasn’t even touching her yet she was this tur- her eyes flew open and she pulled away, creating distance between them.

Zach’s brows went up in question while she touched her now swollen lips and breathing heavily.

“I…. I…..” Her face was burning from embarrassment.

“What’s wrong?” His voice came out hoarse as he fixed his worried gaze on her. It was unlike her to do that.

“Nothing.” Amy felt her cheeks and ears burn under his gaze.

“You can tell me”, he reached out to cup her cheek.

“Mm”, she sighed, practically melting into his touch only to pull away seconds later like she was on fire. She grew nervous at his obvious shock and felt apologetic towards him. “I-I-I just need a bath.”

Without wasting a second, she left the bed and disappeared into the bathroom. She could feel Zach’s eyes following her every move. Boy, was she glad she was not a boy otherwise her little secret would be very ‘hard’ to ignore…

Zach’s kisses turn her on and she should be accustomed to that, she thought, but not as much as this…. Her body was now sensitive…

“Gosh!” She grumbled in a whisper in frustration, as she took deep breaths and continued to fan herself.

She took a couple of deep breaths more to calm down before taking a bath to cool her heated body. Once the water hit her body, she relaxed. She was a lot better once she was out and in fresh clothes. Zach was now seated on the edge of the bed but currently attending to a phone call.

“Mm-hm…. Mm…. Okay. We’ll call you tomorrow then… George?….. I have a task for you….. It’s time for the prodigal son to come back home…”

He ended the call and looked up to find Amy staring at him. His lips lifted when he took her in.

“How’s Joanne? Is she alright?” Worry had quickly overtook her features as she walked towards him.

“Mm. One day at a time”, he said. “I told him we’ll call her tomorrow.”

“That sounds good, thank you.”

He nodded in response. She internally sighed. Another reason she hated the ‘King-situation’. She desperately wished she could be with the older woman in these difficult times.

“Don’t worry yourself too much”, he gently reminded her.

She nodded as she stood in between his legs and hooked her hands behind his neck while his wrapped around her waist. She played with his hair as she got lost in thought thinking of Joanne.

“Is this alright?” He asked making her look down with brows raised in confusion. “I don’t want you going for another shower when you just got-”

She gasped in shock and smacked his shoulder. She made to release herself from him but he only pulled her onto his lap while he laughed.

“Let me gooo”, she whined, while her face burned in embarrassment.

“Never”, he laced his fingers with her and she relaxed in his hold. “And being so horny is nothing to be ashamed off.”

“That’s it. I’m going to bed”, she stood up to walk away but he beat her to it by carrying her instead. “Hm! Why are you so strong?”

“Is that a complaint?” He arched a sexy brow at her.

Amy’s eyes sparkled as she wore a happy smile. “No.”

At the FBI HQ

Peter rested his laced hands on the table in the interrogation room. The man looked like he had lost ten years of his life and that was only his second night in custody.

Fear and worry had long settled in his mind and he kept chewing on his nails from nervousness. Ever since he had been brought in, no one had come to meet him.

He sat up straight when he heard the sound of the door open from behind him.

p “No mayo, no onions! Yes, thanks man!” Rider shouted.

He shut the door and leisurely walked in with a tablet in his hand. With each step he took, Peter’s heart pounded even harder and his foot tapped the floor even faster.

Rider placed the device on the table and with a groan, sat himself down like a boss. One leg crossed over the other, elbows resting on the arms rests and fingertips touching.

Silence.

Peter didn’t know where to look and could feel his face perspire from Rider’s strong gaze. He internally rehearsed his answers for when the question will begin.

Five long minutes later: silence. He looked down at the tablet to find all the information on him, from his parents’ names, his school, his wife, and his boys, Kaden and Kyle. That reminder served as a trigger: he needed to get out of the mess!

“I’m innocent!” He blurted out making Rider’s lips stretch into an amused smile. “I swear! I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. I don’t know any of those people.”

“Peter”, Rider continued smiling.

“I promise. They- They actually kidnapped me to use me as a bargain their way out of the factory with you guys raiding the place. You must believe me!” He almost cried as he begged.

“And you must think I’m stupid”, he scoffed.

“I swear I’m innocent! Why won’t you believe me?”

“She dumped everything on you”, he leaned back into his seat.

“GWEN WOULDN’T DO THAT AFTER EVERYTHING WE’VE-”

Rider raised his brows in amusement. He smiled when Peter realized the hole he had dug for himself especially after claiming he didn’t know Gwen and company.

“Sit down Mr. Wright”, he picked up the tablet and looked up at him with a happy grin. “I believe we have a lot to talk about.”
