She wasn’t wrong. I didn’t trust anyone after Sienna. It hurt me so fucking much to say that I didn’t trust my mate, but a small part of me was still suspicious.
I sighed and closed my eyes. I leaned my forehead against hers.
“I am so fucking sorry,” I mumbled. “There is a small part of me that is still so afraid.”
Daisy cupped my cheeks and pressed her lips against mine.
“I know,” she said softly. “I felt it.”
I opened my eyes and looked at her.
“Sienna was my best friend,” I mumbled. “She was a huge part of my life. I trusted her with my life. I believed in her to the point of endangering my sister’s life. Looking back, I can’t believe how fucking stupid I was. I can’t believe that I trusted her more than I trusted my sister.”
I stopped talking and took a deep breath.
Daisy caressed my cheek.
“I can’t even explain why,” I continued. “I don’t know why I trusted Sienna, but I do know that it fucked me up. It made me suspicious and so fucking afraid. I am so sorry, honey. It’s so fucking hard to let that fear go after everything that happened.”
Daisy sighed and placed a small kiss on my lips.
“Sienna was an idiot,” Daisy said. “I can’t even explain to you how angry I am at her. Emma is an amazing girl, and I love her so much. I love her because she reminds me of you. If Sienna loved you, she would have loved Emma too. There is so much of you in Emma, and I am so excited to discover it all. I love that girl, and I promise that I am not a threat to her.”
My heart skipped a beat, and I felt tears in the corners of my eyes.
The woman in my arms was so fucking amazing!
I didn’t say anything. I just kissed her. I wanted to show her how fucking much she meant to me.
A knock on my office door interrupted us.
I was so focused on my mate that I didn’t even hear anyone approaching my office.
“Come in,” I mumbled against Daisy’s soft lips.
The door opened, and I looked up.
My sister walked inside, closing the door behind herself. She kept her eyes on the papers in her hand.
“Andrew, can you…” she spoke but stopped when she looked up and saw Daisy in my arms.
Her eyes widened a little, and she smiled.
“I am sorry,” she said. “I didn’t mean to interrupt. I will come back later.”
“No, it’s okay,” Daisy said as she stood up and went to sit on the chair in front of my desk. “We were just talking.”
“I will be out of here soon,” Emma said as she approached my desk and handed me the papers. “I just need Andrew to sign something for me.”
I took them from her and placed them on the desk in front of me.
“It’s okay, love,” I said, giving her a small smile. “You weren’t interrupting. We were talking about you.”
Emma furrowed her eyebrows. “What about me?”
I looked at my mate and gave her a small smile.
“How protective I am of you,” I said, looking back at my sister. “And how suspicious I am of everyone.”
Emma raised an eyebrow at me. She glanced at Daisy and sighed.
“You are an idiot, Andrew,” she said. “Daisy would never hurt me.”
I chuckled and shook my head. Daisy laughed.
“Maybe I should have just talked to Emma about my concerns,” Daisy said with a small smirk. “She is efficient.”
I rolled my eyes at my mate.
“Get your head out of your ass and stop being so suspicious of your mate,” Emma said sternly. “She is not Sienna.”
I took a deep breath and nodded.
“I know,” I said. “I explained and apologized to Daisy.”
Emma looked at Daisy and smiled.
“Andrew loves you so much,” Emma said. “Please don’t be angry at him. What Sienna did was horrible, and she hurt him so much.”
My heart clenched. Sienna hurt her more.
“I know, Emma, don’t worry,” Daisy said as she stood up, approached my sister, and pulled her into a hug. “I am not angry at him. I understand why he is suspicious.”
I smiled. Daisy did love Emma.
“And Sienna is a bitch,” Daisy said angrily. “I wouldn’t mind if you let me go to the cellar to teach her a lesson.”
Daisy looked at me and raised an eyebrow.
“No,” I said sternly. “I am not letting you near that bitch.”
Daisy let Emma go and sighed.
“Fine,” Daisy mumbled, giving Emma a small smile.
Emma chuckled and looked back at me.
“Bring me those papers when you sign them, please,” she told me. “I have to go back to work.”
I smiled at my sister and watched as she left my office.
As soon as the door closed, I reached out for my mate.
She approached me and sat down on my lap.
“I love you,” I told her.
“I love you too, idiot,” she grinned and pressed her lips against mine.
I smiled and kissed her back.
Daisy’s POV
I woke up when I felt a soft kiss on my lower belly.
I smiled and ran my fingers through my mate’s hair.
“What are you doing?” I mumbled sleepily.
“Kissing my child,” Andrew said. “I want him or her to know how much I love him or her.”
I chuckled and opened my eyes.
Andrew was staring at my lower belly with so much love in his eyes that it almost made me cry. He placed his hand on my belly and rubbed it softly.
“You are going to be so loved,” Andrew mumbled as he bent down and kissed my belly softly.
My heart swelled.
“You are going to be an amazing father,” I told him.
Andrew looked up at me and smiled.
“Do you think so?” he asked.
I chuckled and nodded, “I don’t think so. I know so.”
Andrew smiled brightly and laid his head on my belly.
“Do you want a girl or a boy?” I asked him as I caressed his cheek.
Andrew shrugged, “I don’t care as long as they are healthy. I know a lot about sports, and I know how to do braids, so we are good on all fronts.”
I laughed and shook my head.
“You know how to do braids?” I asked, raising an eyebrow at him.
Andrew nodded.
“Emma had a phase when all she wanted were braids,” Andrew sighed. “She refused to let her hair down. She refused ponytails. She wanted braids, so I had to learn how to do them.”
“How old was she?” I asked, chuckling.
“Around 5 or 6,” Andrew said with a small smile on his face. “She refused to cut her hair too, so it took ages to braid it all.”
“At least one of us knows how to do braids,” I mumbled, making Andrew laugh.
I rolled my eyes at him.
“Hey, don’t laugh at me,” I said, pouting. “I know how to do a regular one.”
Andrew lifted himself on his elbow and smiled at me. He bent down to kiss me softly.
“I will do all the braiding,” he mumbled against my lips. “Don’t worry.”
I smiled and wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him closer to me. He ran his hand down my body, making me shiver and press myself closer to him.
I needed him. I wanted him. The pregnancy hormones were insane.
I ran my hand down his muscular chest. His amazing figure would never stop making me drool.
