Broken Free (The Broken Series) (4 page)

To Sofia, e
very woman he’d ever been with, thought of being with, looked at, accidentally looked at, almost looked at, thought of looking at, was a total
slut
. God how he loved that. But with this doctor, none of it mattered.

“
Okay dear, you can sit up now.” Dr. Bethany pulled up her stool and Daniel helped Sofia sit. “Now from the dates you’ve given me, we can guess roughly that you are around twelve weeks pregnant. That puts you due…” She grabbed the due date wheel and slipped her spectacles on, studying it. “Oh. How about a New Year’s baby?” She removed her glasses and smiled at both of them with bright eyes.

Daniel laughed and hugged Sofia
, kissing her forehead. “Wow, that is so perfect.”

Sofia couldn’t
seem to smile any bigger. “So when do we do that? The ultrasound.”

“I’m
thinking around September, the fifth month, that way the baby has all the vital organs we need to see.” She took Sofia’s hand and patted it. “So how are you feeling? Sleeping okay, eating okay? Any nausea?”

She glanced at Daniel with a smile.
“He makes me eat exactly as I should, and no nausea, thankfully.”

“Very good.
” Dr. Bethany smiled warmly, seeming genuinely glad about it. She gave her full attention to Daniel. “I cannot tell you how very thrilled I am that you are here and so supportive. It’s not the most common occurrence in this day and age, I’m afraid. But a very wonderful blessing for you to be a part of.” She sobered a bit and looked at Sofia. “Will you be having the epidural?”

“Yes,” Daniel said with Sofia’s nod.

The doctor chuckled. “I think somebody doesn’t want you to go through any pain.” She nodded appreciatively. “A wise and caring man you have there.”

“Yes.
” Sofia sounded pleased the doctor thought so.

Just so
she wasn’t one of those religious nuts that thought you should do shit natural. Daniel never understood that. Like why go to the fucking doctor at all if that’s the case, why not deliver your baby with your bare hands. In the woods. While hiking up a mountain.

“Do you have any questions
for me dear? Any concerns? No question is too little.”

Sofia looked
at Daniel as though he might know what questions she needed to ask. But he surely didn’t know what went through that pretty head of hers. He’d answered a lot of questions for her already and still planned on going through the pregnancy books with her. “None that I can think of,” she said.

Chapter Five

The
y left the office with their next appointment, August 15. Daniel set it in his phone with the adorable baby cry alarm he’d found. Not that he’d need it, he never stopped thinking about their baby. From who he/she would look like, to how he’d handle their first date. Not well, on that last one to be sure.

He
needed to do so many things, but finding that girl in that sick video was top priority. And now he wasn’t entirely sure that Seth was innocent. If he did kill the man, it would make sense. But there had been something Daniel had seen in Seth’s face and eyes. No. He was definitely lying. Or hiding something. Maybe they’d both killed him. Another very plausible possibility after what he’d seen them do to that poor girl. Daniel hoped they both got some sense of relief from it. And hoped they made him suffer.

Sofia watched Daniel as he exited the little grocery store belonging to that receipt from his uncle’s house. Jesus, what a hunk he was. Black jeans hugged that perfect ass of his just right. And that tight black t-shirt and delicious sex-god swagger made her moan.

“What did they say?” Sofia
eyed his crotch as he got back in the car.

“The last time
the cashier saw the girl was a few weeks ago.”

Sofia gasped.
“Oh my
God
then she
is
still around. But where?”

“I think I need to go pay Seth a visit. See if I can convince him
to talk to me.”

“Yes, yes. Definitely. He probably knows where she is! Oh my God, didn’t you say he ha
s money? Can you check if any is being moved or used?”

Daniel’s eyes rolled shut.
“Shit, yes. Why the fuck didn’t I think of that.” Daniel dug his phone out of the console and pressed a series of buttons. It would be sooooo helpful if money had moved.

“Come on, come on.” He
bit his lower lip, staring at the screen and Sofia found herself biting hers, watching him. He gasped and looked at her. “He moved money.”

Sofia let out a huge sigh. “Thank
God.”

“Wow.
” He laid his head on the seat. “That doesn’t mean anything, he could’ve moved money for something else. But my guess is, he’s probably got her well taken care of, why didn’t I think of this?” Daniel started the car and pulled out into traffic.

“It’s been really stressful for everybody, sometimes we don’t think of the obvious stuff.”

“Oh but
you
do. I should have involved you from the beginning and maybe we wouldn’t even be in this mess.”

“Ohh, I can make messes, trust me.”

He took hold of her hand and brought it to his mouth and nibbled with his lips. “You can definitely make cookie messes.”

She
gave him a throaty, sultry laugh. “You do well to remember that. Don’t anger the cookie monster.”

He let out
an
“mmm,”
and bit lightly on her knuckle, making Sofia’s stomach and womb jerk wildly. A sudden wave of desire hit her and she whimpered just as he scraped his teeth on her.

He glanced at her, his gaze flicking over her body. “You’re hot.”

It was a light observation, but one he was clearly affected by. Sofia was suddenly thrilled she’d worn her sweet new mommy skirt as Daniel leaned and slid his hand between her legs. He wasted no time sliding her panties over and dipping his finger right inside her. She opened her legs a little and tilted her hips. A few hungry thrusts and he removed his finger and drew slow circles over her aching bud. Sofia gripped the armrest on the door with a gasp and pressed her other hand into the seat next to her.

“Fuck,” Daniel whispered, pulling his finger out and sticking it right in his mouth. He sucked her juices off
and focused on the road. “Tell me what you want when we get home.”

His voice croaked with desire, but he didn’t look at her.

What did she want? Mmm. “Can I…have you in the shower?”

“Have me? You can have me anywhere. Any way.”

“I want to…fuck
you
. In the shower.”

“Ffffuck,” Daniel gasped lightly
, knowing exactly what she meant. “You’re killing me.” He looked in the rear view mirror. “Tell me.”

Sofia’s clit throbbed with a vengeance. “I want you to hold on to the shower walls. And open your legs wide for me.
I want to jack your cock off, while I sink mine…slowly into you.”

Daniel grabbed his cock and gasped. “Baby, stop. I’m going to come right here. Serious.”

She smiled, thrilled at how much he liked that. “Can I…do you from the front too? I want to hold one of your legs up, the way you do me. And fuck you, watch you while I pump in and out of you. Rub the pretty head of your cock while I do it.”

Daniel suddenly pulled off the road and into an abandoned looking parking lot. He put the car in park and undid his pants. His cock out, he stroked it and looked at her with the most sexy look. Like, come get it
, right now.

Sofia nearly attacked in response. Daniel laid his seat back and Sofia devoured his length with a
hunger only a pregnant woman could no doubt have. Her groans were deep and ravenous, accompanying every rise and fall of her head. “Push your pants down,” she ordered. “Now.”

Daniel quickly
slid them over his hips, enough for Sofia to work her hand between his legs. She wet her finger with his pre-cum and raised up to watch his face as she worked her it into him. “Look at me,” she said, when he clenched his eyes shut.

His breaths ragged, he opened his eyes
to slits of agonizing desire, staring at her as she pushed her finger in slowly. She gripped his cock with her other hand and leaned to slide her tongue over his lips. “Be still and take it.”

“Oh fuck,” he gasped
, rolling his hips.

She worked her hand over his cock and her
finger in and out of him, her tempo slowly building with his deepening expressions of ecstasy. She bit at his lower lip, loving the feel of his devastated moans and sexy hisses right in her mouth. “Mmm, you like this?”

“Yes,” he gasped. “Do it.” He reached
between his legs and pressed her hand harder. “Fuck me.”

Sofia thought she’d come at his words. She dove on his mouth and kissed him, her hand moving over his cock in a frenzy, her finger moving wildly. “Come for me. Right now,” she demanded in his mouth. “Do it,” she ordered, her voice harder.

He suddenly bucked and grabbed her head, kissing her as he came in her hand, hot, pulsing waves for endless delicious seconds. She slowed both her hands until her strokes matched his deep satisfied moans.

“
My. Fucking. God,” he said, breathless.

Sofia giggled and kissed him, so happy
and proud she’d brought him an insane amount of pleasure like that.

“How can I ever repay you?”

“By letting me do it more often?”

He looked around and gasped, pulling his pants back up.
“It’s a deal, but not like this.”

“In the shower. Like I
said.
”

He started the car and angled that sexy one eyed look at her. “
You’re amazing, you know that? And I love you.”

Her heart
suddenly felt like it’d burst and tears stung her eyes. “Oh hell,” she gasped, fanning her face. “Estrogen moment.”

“
Aww, baby, come here.” He reached for her and pulled her into his arms, kissing her forehead. “You’re my angel, you know that? Please don’t ever change, promise me?”

“I promise,” she wailed. “Wow, I’m sobbing, really?”

“Not to interrupt your moment, but, get ready to scream my name. Sofia.”

Sofia’s tears
nearly stopped dry. “Wow, hmm,” she gasped. “I think you just found my estrogen on/off switch.”

He gave her a sweet
smile and pulled into the afternoon traffic. “Just know that I’m going to fuck you extra good.”

“Oh shit, stop.”

He laughed, a deep naughty sound that didn’t help her condition at all. “Now you know how I feel.”

****

Sofia hit her phone send button. “Dara? Oh my
God!
Your voice, I can’t believe I’m actually
hearing it!
How are you?”

“I’m coming.”

“What?”

“You heard me, I’m coming back.
I miss him so much, Sofia. I wanted to call to tell you. Don’t worry, I can find a place to stay, I don’t want to be a burden.”

“What?
Stop it, you’ll stay in Seth’s room until he gets out.”

She sucked in her breat
h. “Momma, please tell me Daniel has found a way to get him out, he promised he would and I believe he can and he will.”

“We
ll, I can tell he’s got something up his sleeve, I’m just being patient to see what it is. But…remember I told you how Seth said he defended that girl and how we really think he’s protecting her, as in lying? We think she may be the one that killed the uncle.”

She sucked in a huge breath.
“This is my thought! Does Seth know? That you guys know or think this?”

“Not yet, Daniel is on his way there now to try and see him. Dara…”

“What momma, what, spill it.”

“We went to the uncle’s house to try and get clues as to what may have happened and we found these old tapes and my God Dara, Seth and that girl and other people were on it, making them do horrific things. Poor Daniel watched all of it before thinking of turning it over to the authorities.”

“We need to find this girl, get her to admit the truth, this is the answer, he shouldn’t have to pay for what she did, it’s not fair.”

“One step ahead of you.” Sofia told her all about the receipt and how the girl was likely still in town and Seth was taking care of her financially.

Dara went off in angry Romanian that ended in near sorrowful wails.

“What!” Sofia
said.

“Ugh, I’m so
jealous of that bitch! She is trouble, I feel it.”

“Oh Dara, honey. If you’d seen what they made her do on that video.”

More pained Romanian. “I know, I know, I’m the devil for feeling this way. I have news for you.”

“What?”
There was a span of silence except for shaky breathing. “Dara, what? What’s wrong?

“Nothing is wrong,” she gasped.
“I’m…pregnant.”

Silence hung for several seconds until Sofia could speak and ask the hopeful question. “For?”

“Oh, God, momma, who do you think? Would I be coming back to America if it weren’t Seth’s?”

Sofia sucked in a huge breath, a giddy excitement over taking her at what that would mean. “Oh my
God
you’ve got to be kidding me!”

“I’m not.”

“How far?”

“My guess, two months.”

“Are you…are you happy?”

“Oh Sofia. I am not one of these women who would dream of trapping a man into anything, but when it comes to Seth, I can’t lie, I have prayed for a way to have him, but I assure you this was not
one of them. Entirely.”

“You used protection, right?”

“I have been on the pill, but…when I came to visit, I think…I think I might have made a boo boo.”

“Oh Dara, do you know how happy Seth is going to be?”

“No! I don’t, I have no clue if he’s going to hate me or what, what if he’s in love with that girl he saved and this will ruin his plans?”

“He’s facing
life
in prison honey, I don’t think you can ruin anything more than it is! Oh my God, Daniel is on his way to visit him, I need to tell him this. It could be what he needs to get Seth to cooperate.”

“Tell him?”

“Yes, please, Dara, he won’t give up this girl without incentive and you have just provided us with a huge one.”

“
I’m terrified of what he’ll say, I’ll die if he hates me for this.”

“He won’t. He really likes you.”

“I have other news.”

“My God, what, what?”

“I went on a diet the second I returned home. I planned to get slim and return, sweep him off his feet. I’ve lost forty-five pounds.”

Sofia sucked in her breath. “Really? Oh my God,
Dara, that’s…wow! Okay, please, I have to call Daniel before he sees Seth, I’ll call you back, I promise.”

“Hi
-hi-, call me back as soon as you can, I mean it. And tell him about the weight I lost!”

“Yes, promise.
Wait, when are you coming?”

“I leave in t
hree weeks unless you say no.” Restrained hysterical excitement lined the words.

“Yes. Oh my God, yes! I’m so thrilled. Aunt Dara is coming!”
