I went silent and went to get up off of Thane's lap. He held me in place.
"Blythe, you didn't have it easy. I had somewhat of a crappy childhood, but honey, you lived through pure hell. I think you are a strong woman. You lived through some horrible beatings, rapes, and yet here you are. I am proud of you for what you have accomplished in your life. You took the bad and made something of yourself."
I just stared deep into his eyes and leaned in and kissed him.
"Thank you, Thane."
"No, honey, thank you for sharing your life with me, and I know it wasn't easy. I feel honored that you felt safe and comfortable enough with me to tell me your most intimate life secrets."
"Thane, you have done more for me than you will ever know. You are willing to help me raise a baby that is another man's. That my dear is an honorable man."
Thane didn't say anything; he put his hands up to my cheeks and kissed me so delicately and yet with so much passion. I got lost in his kiss. He started to rub my back with one hand and play with my hair with his other hand. I ran my hands through his hair. He slowly began to take off my shirt. He paused for a moment waiting for me to say something. I then reached down and pulled his shirt over his head. He then finished pulling mine off. I just got out of the tub earlier and didn't have a bra on. Lucky for him I was only wearing my shirt and undies. His hands immediately went to my breasts.
"You are so beautiful, Blythe."
"You are absolutely ripped Thane." He just chuckled.
We were enjoying each other's bodies.
"I know I am not that attractive with my little baby bump." I said with a smile on my face.
"But, I wouldn't give this baby bump up for anything in the world."
"I wouldn't want you to give that baby bump up for anything in the world. I will protect you with everything I have, Blythe. I want you to have a happy healthy baby. I will help you as long as you will have me."
"I just don't want you to help me with my baby, Thane. I want you to have me too."
"You don't have to ask me that twice. I have wanted you for over a year now. I just knew we were working on my project together. Your Granny was ill, and I didn't want to push. I am just worried about you now. Are you going to tell Cooryn the truth? No matter what you do, I will support you. The question I have is if you tell Cooryn will you be with him? I don't want to make love to you and then you regret it."
"Thane, I won't regret a thing with you. I am not sure if I will tell Cooryn. You know how he feels about marriage and children. Even if he wanted anything to do with the baby, he wouldn't want me. He is my best friend. Twice, I slept with him twice. Once our senior year and then right after my granny's funeral. We were both drunk when we conceived this baby. He knows we had sex, but hell, he doesn't even remember not using protection. Thane, he thinks my baby is yours."
"I will love this child like it is my own, Blythe. I promise you that."
After those words, I stood up on the bed and asked Thane to remove his boxer shorts. After removing his boxer shorts, he removed my undies. We got under the covers, and Thane made love to me. I had only been with Cooryn and Tanner. Thane was gentle and loving. He talked to me while we made love. I told him what I liked, and boy did he respond to my every need. As soon as we both climaxed, I felt on top of his sweaty body. We were both sweaty, yet it was the best feeling in the world. He just held me. I had never been held so tenderly after making love. I was in a foreign atmosphere. I didn't know what this was all supposed to be about. My hormones must be all over the place, because I started to cry.
"Oh, honey, what is wrong? Did I hurt you? Is the baby okay? Please, Blythe talk to me."
"I am fine Thane; I have never felt like this. Nobody has ever been so gentle and held me like this, ever."
"Oh honey, you deserve all of this. You deserve to be happy and loved."
"You do too, Thane."
"I hope you keep feeling that way after we get back home." he said in a low husky voice.
"Why do you say that, Thane?"
"Blythe, I can't have children."
"I know that Thane, I don't care. If we can't have one together, we can adopt. I have nothing against adoption. My Granny raised me. She was the only person on this earth that gave a damn about me when I was growing up. If you want to be with me, and I am with you, then you have to trust what we are starting."
"Blythe, I want to go to the next level with you. I want to love you and the baby, forever."
"Let's go home, Thane. I don't want to stay here anymore. I have all of the paperwork done."
"Don't you want to say goodbye to Cooryn?"
"I will knock on his door on the way out. I can leave my rental car here, and the company can pick it up here in the morning. I can leave the keys to the car at the front desk. I will say bye to Cooryn while you grab your car."
"Okay, sounds great. I will take your keys and check you out and get the car. How about we meet downstairs in the lobby in about 20 minutes? Will that be enough time to say bye to Cooryn?"
"Yes, that is plenty of time to say goodbye."
We both got dressed and gathered up our stuff. I gave Thane my rental car keys. I left the room before Thane did. I made my way up to Cooryn's suite. When I got to the door, I knocked. I heard Cooryn's voice, but I also heard a woman's voice. I decided to leave. I was halfway down the hallway when I heard the door open. Cooryn was standing in the hallway with shorts and a t-shirt on. His hair was a mess. I knew exactly why he didn't answer the door. I shouldn't be mad, hell, I was just downstairs making love to Thane, but dammit, I was carrying his child. He is the one that refuses to face life. He doesn't want a wife or children. Just something deep inside of me hurt.
"Bly, wait up." he said in a hurried voice. I just turned around and what I said must have sounded really hurtful.
"Coor, sorry I interrupted your sex with whomever you decided to pick up tonight. I just wanted to tell you that I am going back to Lexington tonight. I am just going to fly back with Thane."
His eyes looked really sad after I said the first part. By this time he was standing right in front of me.
"Bly, what is wrong?"
"Nothing, I am just tired and this trip was a lot harder on me than I thought it would be. I just wanted to come up here, see you for a few minutes, give you a hug and say until next time."
‘Until next time' is a saying Coor and I have used since we were in middle school.
"Come here Bly."
Coor extended his arms out to me. I immediately walked right into his arms. He gives me a hug that always makes me feel safe. His hugs picked me up so many times throughout my life and let me know that he loves me.
"I am going to miss you Bly. I am glad I came back to see you and look at your old house one last time. We sure do have a lot of memories to take with us from that place. I will call you next week to check up on you. We will text everyday right?"
"Yeah, we will still text everyday and talk once a week."
"What is wrong, Bly, did something happen with Thane?"
"No, Thane and I are just fine. I just, I just, I mean, I came up here to see you, and I am embarrassed that I interrupted your hot sex with your blond mimbo in there."
"Ouch, that hurts Bly."
"Good, I am glad it does."
"What the hell is this all about Bly?"
"Nothing, I am just tired and want to go home. My feet and back are killing me. I am sorry I ruined your night." I snapped back.
"You did not ruin my night, Bly. I would drop anything to talk to you even if I was having sex with a blond bimbo."
He said with a smile on his face. I don't know what got into me, but a tear trickled down my check. Cooryn immediately wiped it away.
"What did I do to you, baby?"
"Nothing, nothing at all, I guess that has always been the damn problem. Why, why did you sleep with me four months ago? Don't use us being drunk as an excuse either. You are my best friend. We had sex once in high school. We were able to bounce back from that night, and our friendship stayed completely intact. But, four months ago, you walked into my world, helped me bury my Granny, had wild passionate sex with me and left. We used to text everyday and call once a week. You broke that damn promise. I didn't hear from you for over a month. I called, texted, everything. I got the runaround from your staff, and you never answered my messages. What if I would have needed you?"
"Bly, I got the message. I am sorry I didn't keep my promise. I should have never slept with you. It was a mistake. A horrible, horrible mistake. I am sorry if that hurt you. I should have never done that. Did you expect things to change for us after that night?"
"I didn't know what to think. I was so damn numb. I buried the one person in my life who gave a crap about me growing up. She took me in when everyone abandoned me. I thought when you made love to me that night. It was like everything was coming full circle with us. You taught me
