The Baby Contract: A Single Dad Romance

by Charlotte Byrd

  “Excuse me, miss?”

  I startled at the unexpected voice that I assumed was calling for me. I whirled around in the chair to see a maid standing behind me, one I had not yet seen, with a phone in her hand.

  “Yes?” I said, flushing a little when my voice cracked and I cleared my throat. I thought, they won’t talk to me, but they can scare me to death?

  “There’s a call for you,” she said, holding out the phone.

  I blinked at the device she held out to me. It must have been one of the house phones, though I hadn't seen one yet. Hesitantly, I reached for it. She gave that short nod-bow, then turned to leave. I reached for her; mouth opened to stop her, at least to ask where I could find the kitchen later for a meal. But then she was gone, and I was left alone with the phone.

  “Hello?”

  I startled again. The voice this time was coming from the small speaker on the phone. I winced because I hadn't realized Ryan was on.

  “Hello?” I returned tentatively.

  “How have you been?” he asked.

  I blinked, surprised at the question. It hadn’t been all that long ago that he’d seen me.

  “Um, I’m fine?” I winced as my stomach growling again reminded me that wasn’t exactly true. “I mean, I’m a little hungry, but I’m okay. Did you want to know about the contract…?”

  “I saw,” he said calmly.

  “Excuse me?” I glanced around, wondering exactly how he’d seen. Until it hit me, that he probably had security cameras all over the house. Of course, there would be one aimed at his desk for when he wasn’t there.

  He chuckled. “No need to look, or sound, so alarmed. I didn’t just spend the past few hours watching you walk all around the house. The maids told me.”

  I winced, wondering if I should tell him that that didn’t particularly make me feel better. But then, I should probably get used to it, right? It wasn’t being spied on when technically, Ryan was looking out for his house and his family’s interests, after all. I was still the outsider here.

  “Should I not have been walking around?” I asked tentatively. “I’m sorry, but I just needed to clear my head and think…”

  “And you thought things through,” he finished for me. “And came to the right conclusion for yourself?”

  Slowly, I nodded. “Yeah. I figured… I have nothing to lose, and this contract helps the both of us. And maybe Edward, too?” I added boldly, completely confident in my assessment that he wasn’t just doing this for himself.

  Ryan sighed. “That is true. I didn’t realize you’d be this perceptive, not that I was trying to keep anything secret… I hope you read the contract thoroughly?”

  I nodded, picking up the papers. “Yeah. Every clause. There are a few things I’d like to talk about, but they can wait. I’m fine with how it is.”

  He hummed. “That’s good.”

  There was a short silence. I broke it after a few seconds.

  “What happens now?”

  “What?”

  “What am I supposed to do now?” I rephrased.

  “There are a few things I need you to do,” he said. “First, I’m going to have someone get you something to eat. It’ll be light because I’ll have some other people drive you somewhere.”

  I bit down on my lip. “Drive me where exactly?”

  “I’ve already told you, there’s no need to be so worried. I just need you to go to a doctor and get yourself checked out. If you get the all clear… we can move on from there.”

  I wondered what he meant by ‘all clear,’ and exactly what I was going to have checked out. Suddenly, I felt nervous.

  “I have a few private doctors that I trust. You’ll be meeting one of the female doctors if that will help you relax a bit. I’ve known her for years, and I can promise you that she will be discreet. You’re not going to be asked to do anything too difficult.”

  I nodded nervously, though I didn’t completely trust his word. When was the last time I even saw a doctor? My family had no insurance, and therefore, no need to be going in for regular checkups. I was rarely sick growing up, except for the occasional cold, and I was a careful child, so I never hurt myself so badly that I needed to see a doctor. The last time… was probably when I was young and going to a dentist for my teeth.

  “All right,” I said

  “Someone is coming over to you now to take you to eat. I’ll see you later,” he said, then hung up.

  “Miss?”

  I looked around me and saw another different maid waiting for me. Seriously, how many of them were even in this house!

  “I’m guessing you’re here to take me to eat?”

  She nodded at me, then reached out a hand. It took me a few seconds to realize she was waiting for me to hand over the phone, so I did. Then she led the way. I expected to be taken to the kitchen, but instead was led to the dining room where I’d eaten with Ryan and Edward before. There was only one spot set, and it felt a little awkward as I settled in at that big table by myself.

  But the food in front of me was good, and I was hungry. I dug into the meal.

  Half an hour later, I was done. A few maids came in to take the dishes away, and I was a little glad to realize at least a couple of them looked familiar. Another one stood by my side as they left, probably waiting for me to get up. I’d already showered that morning, but I suddenly felt like I needed to have another shower.

  I didn’t want to be a bother, though, so I got up and let the maid lead me to the front door where I was handed off to a man and woman in black suits, white shirts, and dark glasses. The standard uniform for bodyguards, maybe?

  They led me over to a car waiting in the driveway. One of them opened the back door for me, and I slid inside, feeling a little awkward at how comfortable it was. I’d only ever been in a taxi or squished in one of my friend’s cars. I’d never been inside anything so luxurious.

  My life had changed, hadn't it? Just from signing that contract…

  The drive to the hospital took at least half an hour. It was enough for the food in my stomach to settle. The female bodyguard led me inside as the other remained with the car, and I was a little thankful for it.

  I could feel warmth spread in my chest that Ryan was thinking about my comfort.

  We got into an elevator and went up a few floors, then stopped at an office. The bodyguard nodded, waited for a voice to call back, then opened the door, and gestured for me to go inside. I did so, a little reluctantly, taking in a deep breath to calm my nerves.

  “Hello there,” a woman called.

  She was dressed in a blouse and skirt, with a white lab coat over it and a stethoscope hanging around her neck. She smiled warmly at me as I walked inside, and it put me at ease immediately. She looked like she could be around my mom’s age, but was so much more put together than I’d seen my mom in a long time.

  “Hello,” I murmured back.

  “Please, sit down,” she said, waving at the chair opposite her desk. She sat down as I did. “Now, I understand you’re here for a full checkup. I promise it’s not going to take too long, and I can send you back home in a couple of hours. I won’t be getting all the results back today, but I can have them sent over, okay?”

  I nodded slowly, relaxing further when she smiled again.

  I realized, as she carried it out, that there wasn’t much to be afraid of. There were a few moments of embarrassment but they weren’t that bad. I felt a bit squeamish as she took a blood sample, but it was mostly painless. I looked away for a moment, and it was done.

  Less than two hours later, I was finished.

  “You can let Ryan know I’ll send the results, at the latest, tomorrow,” she said as we shook hands. “But, as far as I’ve seen, you get the all clear.”

  “Thank you,” I said. I meant for not making anything awkward for me, though I didn’t elaborate.

  She just smiled like she knew what I meant, and I left.

  The bodyguard was waiting outside the door, b
ack straight and hands clasped together in front of her, staring straight ahead. She turned to me as I walked out of the office, and I felt awkward again, that she’d had to wait for me, even though she didn’t say anything.

  We went back home. When we arrived, I was feeling exhausted from the emotional rollercoaster the whole day had been. More time had passed than I realized, and it was already evening by the time I walked into the house.

  Ryan was nowhere to be seen. I wondered if he was waiting for me somewhere or keeping himself busy. Either way, I felt too tired to go off and look for him. I’d eaten once for the day, and I felt like that was more than enough for me.

  I went up to my room to sleep, blacking out as soon as my head hit the pillow.

  Chapter 9 - Lexi

  There was a light knock on the door. The person didn’t wait for me to say anything but simply started turning the door handle, and I knew someone was entering. I was scared and relieved when I saw Mr. Gold.

  Wary of my attire, I quickly wrapped the robe around me tightly, and as I started to tie it, he closed the door and said, “Don’t. I can make you feel better; lay back down on the bed.” I lay back down as I wrapped my robe around me tighter.

  “No, not with the robe.”

  I looked at him, shocked by his request, and he simply nodded as if to confirm what he had just said.

  I took the robe off and flung it on the floor. It seemed to arouse him because he said, “Nice.” His voice was husky and sent shivers through me. I should be afraid, being naked with a mature man, but I felt beautiful and powerful. It was a new sensation, and I didn’t want it to end.

  I rose onto the bed slowly, fully exposing my big arse. He followed me, and as I lay with no bra and no panties, he asked, “Were you waiting for me?”

  I nodded. In a way, I was waiting for him. I knew he wanted me. The way I felt right now, I needed something, especially him. I didn’t care that he was taking advantage, or that he would take my virginity, and I would never see him again because I just needed to be loved. I wanted this one thing from him. He could do it over and over and over again.

  He started to play with my feet. At first, it was ticklish, and then I started to feel a different type of feeling. The one that I got whenever I’d watched porn a couple of times. I watched it to learn about sex and to learn about pleasing myself. At the time, I figured at this rate that I would be a virgin for eternity. I watched him as he stroked my feet, and I imagined his hands riding up higher.

  I have generously sized breasts that I hoped would stay that way as I grew older.

  He sat at the foot of the bed as he played with my feet. At first, I watched him until he said, “Close your eyes.” I did everything he asked because I hoped that in all his madness, he would do the one thing that I desired, and that was to make love to me.

  As my eyes closed, I felt something soft and moist tracing lines up and down the inside of my thighs. At first, I thought it was his fingers, then I wondered if it was his dick, but as it became moister, I realized that it was his tongue. It felt warm, sending tingling sensations up and down my body.

  I started to arch my back slightly, and then I felt his mouth on my nipples. They were taut and straining for him. He started sucking on them harder and harder as if he were pulling on a straw. I started to feel pleasure and even pain at times. He would bite them and then mildly lick them. His movements were gentle and slow. I couldn’t fault him for anything he was doing, but there was one thing I craved, one thing I hoped he would do again. I wanted him to kiss me.

  Instead, his tongue explored my body. It raced down my stomach and into the palms of my hand. I cupped his face, and he nuzzled in my hand like a baby. The whole experience was sensual. He was not simply going to have sex with me but enjoy me, too. It sent waves of pleasure and passion down my spine.

  He increased the pace and changed direction. I wanted to open my eyes, but I was scared. If I did, then he might decide not to enter me. He started growling and picking up the pace. I started to moan louder as he became rougher and somewhat forceful, though I didn’t deny him any part of my body.

  Fuck me! I shouted in my mind, and it was as if he had read my thoughts and knew my body, which had begun to ache as he cupped my breasts and pulled on them. He pulled them so hard that I let out a light scream.

  “Yes, I’m going to fuck you so hard, you’ll never forget it!”

  Good was the word that entered my mind as I heard him unzip his trousers and rip the condom which prompted me to straighten my legs up in the air.

  I gritted my teeth together because it hurt so much, and I found myself back in the pleasure and pain zone.

  “You’re so tight. You’re a virgin—just the way I like it.”

  It was sore. He was opening up my pussy, and I could feel the walls stretching as he reached further inside. I was going through pleasure and pain at the same time. As my wetness increased, the pain decreased, and the pleasure began to take over.

  I was so overcome and aroused at the same time.

  I felt everything in me shake and it scared me; he was so big or maybe, as he said, I was so tight that it felt like my body was ripped apart. I wanted to scream. I wanted to scream so loud, so I only whimpered while biting my teeth at the same time.

  I held my butt in the air so he could thrust into me over and over again. As I began to relax and arch my back more, he stopped and withdrew himself from me. He lay down next to me and said, “I’m not ready for you to come yet.”

  Is that what was happening?

  Was I coming? How did he know and I didn’t?

  I had read about it in Fifty Shades of Grey. I assumed that was what they were doing in the two porn movies I watched. However, they were so mechanical that it was hard to determine exactly how I felt.

  “That fucking ass just turns me on,” he whimpered as he lifted my leg and shoved his fat cock into me one more time. Then he rocked back and forth. I held onto his butt, and it was only at then that it dawned on me that he had not removed any of his clothes. Here I was naked, and he was fully dressed, probably so he could make a quick exit after he had finished.

  His hands were hungry over my body. One minute they were gripping tightly onto my arse, the next they were fondling my nipples, and other times they were holding my breast—or as much as he could scoop in one hand. He was hungry to fuck me, and I was ready to receive him. I started to sweat, but I got the impression he was doing most of the work.

  I had the same feeling overtake my body. I began to jerk as I realized it was happening again. It excited me but frightened me at the same time. I realized that for the first time in my life, I was going to climax.

  I bit his arm hard, and he screamed and then laughed a wicked laugh. Just then, I felt his come. I released him because I felt all my energy draining from my body as I climaxed. I licked my lips and thought how twenty minutes ago, or maybe longer, I was a virgin—and now I no longer fit that category.

  I fell asleep, too, knowing this was the best night of my life and wishing that there were more nights like this but, I think that once I become pregnant, they will stop.

  Chapter 10 - Ryan

  I smiled to myself as I watched Lexi fall asleep beside me. I wasn’t nearly done. I wanted to wake her up so we could go another round, but decided she could use a bit of a rest. Besides, she’d been a virgin. She was going to be sore.

  It should be fine, though… as long as I’m careful…

  But I pushed that thought aside. It was a wonder she was letting me do this at all; I didn’t want to push her in case I went too far.

  I stretched my body out then got out of bed. The room I’d given her had a bathroom attached, and I went in there to get cleaned up. I looked down at my limp dick and winced at the spots of blood left on me. There would be some on the sheets, too.

  Would she mind taking a shower with me? I wondered to myself. We’ve done something so much more intimate, but…

  Her being a virgin was a big
clue, but it was more than that. She was new to intimacy. It was possible she’d never even had a boyfriend and one of those innocent high school relationships that I’ve only ever heard about.

  I’ll just have to get her used to it.

  With that thought, I grinned. I took some tissue to wipe off the blood, then went back into the bedroom. My eyes immediately landed on Lexi where she lay asleep on the bed, her body barely covered with the sheets.

  “Lexi?” I called softly, shaking her shoulder lightly. “Come on, Lexi. Get up. We’re going to take a shower.”

  It took a little coaxing to get her up, but I managed, and she rubbed her eyes, then looked at me.

  “What?” she muttered hoarsely.

  “Shower,” I repeated. “Get up.”

  It took a minute, but she slid off the bed by herself, and I took her hand, leading her to the bathroom with me. I stood her to the side as I turned on the water in the shower enclosure and waited for it to warm up. It wasn’t until she was under the warm spray, and I’d walked in behind her, that she realized we were both naked. Her eyes widened as she looked down at herself, then me, and then her whole face flushed.

  “Why are you so shocked?” I asked, feeling a bit amused.

  Her hands twitched up, but she stopped them last minute before she could cross them over her chest.

  “Sorry, I just… this is a bit unexpected.”

  “We’ll probably be doing this a lot in the future,” I told her in warning. “So you should learn to get used to it now.”

  She blinked up at me then nodded slowly as she shuddered out a breath.

  I picked up the shower gel where it stood on a shelf in the wall. I put some on my hands, and I reached for Lexi. She yelped, startled, and probably would have gone down if I hadn't caught her around the waist and dragged her against me.

  “I’m sorry!” she blurted out, her fingers digging into my arms where she held onto me. “You surprised me.”
