Knocked Up

by Stacey Lynn

Publication Date: June 12th, 2018

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Blurb:

First comes love. Then comes marriage. Then comes baby in a baby carriage. Just not necessarily in that order….

Braxton: I should probably be dead or in jail right now. Instead, thanks to some tough love, I worked my ass off and now I own a string of tattoo parlors throughout the Pacific Northwest. And yet the one thing Iโ€™ve always wantedโ€”a familyโ€”still seems out of reach. When my best friend gets married, Iโ€™m just hoping to blow off some steam with the super-hot maid of honor. But after Cara Thompson tracks me down to tell me sheโ€™s pregnant, sheโ€™s more surprised than I am when I tell her Iโ€™m all in.

Cara: For the first time in my life, Iโ€™m living for myselfโ€”not for my parents and their ridiculous expectations. I gave up on my MBA, dropped out of the Ivy League, and moved to Portland to pursue my dream of becoming an artist. And whatโ€™s the first thing I do? Get knocked up. For a tatted-up sex god,ย Braxton Henley seems way too eager to โ€œbe there for me.โ€ Is this guy serious? Maybe. He sure is patient. Because he wonโ€™t back down until I admit what I know in my heart: that our one night stand mightโ€™ve led me to the one.

Excerpt:

I quickly take everything off and drape the paper sheet over my lap, leaving my socks on, and when Iโ€™m ready, the edges of the sheet tucked under my thighs and backside, Pam knocks on the door.

โ€œReady?โ€ she calls as sheโ€™s already pushing open the door.

โ€œYup.โ€ I sound like Iโ€™m about ready to croak, and Braxtonโ€™s deep, rumbling chuckle worsens my rattled nerves. He kissed me!

I raise my hand to my mouth and as my fingertips press my lips, theyโ€™re taken away, gripped in Braxtonโ€™s warm hold. He smiles down at me knowingly and I force my attention on Pam.

She pulls the internal monitor out of the drawer, along with a bottle of lubricant and a condom, and Braxtonโ€™s grip on my hand turns almost bone-crushing.

โ€œIs thatโ€”โ€

โ€œYup.โ€ I cut him off.

โ€œUm.โ€

โ€œNow you see why I wanted the external one,โ€ I mutter quietly.

I canโ€™t look at him. My cheeks are on fire, and for some absolutely insane reason, other parts of my body are warming and this should not be happening at my midwifeโ€™s office.

โ€œSo,โ€ Pam says, turning around and back to business. Except itโ€™s hard to take her seriously as she waves what looks like a massive vibrator in her hand. โ€œWeโ€™re going to insert this inside of you.โ€

โ€œHoly shit,โ€ Braxton mutters. And God, kill me. Please kill me now.

If Pam hears him, she ignores him as she steps toward me, and pulls out a set of stirrups from beneath the table. โ€œIโ€™m going to need you to lie down, Cara, and spread your legs, and slip down to the edge of the bed for me.โ€

โ€œI feel like Iโ€™ve heard this before,โ€ I say, unable to stop myself. My filter has evaporated along with my self-respect and all of this is so absolutely humiliating.

Pam pauses, glances at me and then at Braxton and nods, understanding. But I swear, as her gaze sweeps down Braxtonโ€™s arms, even she blushes. Which is great . . . my midwife thinks my non-boyfriend baby daddy is hot.

โ€œI feel like Iโ€™ve said this before,โ€ Braxton says, and both of our eyes whip to him. My gracious. Heโ€™s smiling, shoulders shaking like heโ€™s holding back the worldโ€™s most boisterous laugh, and itโ€™s all I can do to not kill him while heโ€™s standing there, glancing between the monitor-slash-vibrator and my spread legs and I canโ€™t hold it in anymore.

โ€œThis is embarrassing.โ€

Pam is back to business, already spreading the condom over the phallic-shaped instrument, and then she drizzles on the lubricant.

Braxtonโ€™s breath brushes over my cheeks. His dark locks tickle my temple as he whispers, โ€œI feel like I should be offering to help with this.โ€

โ€œShut up,โ€ I grit, my stomach muscles clenching from trying not to die or laugh. โ€œThis isnโ€™t funny.โ€

โ€œOh. This is the funniest thing Iโ€™ve ever seen, Iโ€™m not going to lie.โ€

My fingers squeeze his hand and Pam is in front of me. She holds a small black box in her other hand and the tip of the wand against my center. โ€œIโ€™ll go slow, and it might be cold, okay?โ€

โ€œYup.โ€

โ€œSweet Jesus,โ€ Braxton whispers. โ€œI donโ€™t know whether to be terrified or turned on right now, Cara.โ€
