Chapter Four (Permission to stare)

Myra’s POV 

A new day has dawned bringing with it dreams and aspirations, drawing closer to my EDD “(expected date of delivery)”. I rolled uncomfortably on the bed as I felt the reflection of the sun's rays forcefully making its way into the room and resting on my face.

“Signs” I flipped over to back the sun’s reflection, but I can still feel the heat, I opened my eyes and stare at the room, and instantly I got up from the bed realizing I'm in Damien’s room “the only time I shared a bed with my husband resulted in pregnancy and that was on the night of our wedding, after that he insisted on us having a separate room, how then did I end up in his room, on his bed” this is a mystery.

Rubbing my eyes and yawing I remember falling asleep in the lounge on the couch, someone might have carried me here. Thoughts of Damian carrying me in his hands made me chuckle, just as I was about to sneak out of the room Damian entered he looked at me without saying anything, and I greeted him but he replied with a nod and turned and left for the bathroom. 

I stood there waiting for him to come out so, we can discuss the photoshoots and the baby shower prep. After taking so long he's finally out of the bathroom. He smelt fresh minty body wash and his smell filled the air, his jaw hardened and his piercing blue eyes stared frostily into mine as if they were about to freeze me into ice. I can't help but stare at his half-naked wet body, his broad shoulder, curly hair, and his well-defined abs. He turned and glanced at me and lifted his cool fingertips to my lips “try closing your mouth while staring so you don't swallow a fly” he chuckled. 

I was ashamed of myself and tried to leave but he held me back saying “since you decided to watch me get dressed then you have to stay till the end with that he took off his fluffy white towel, revealing “ the exceptionally large package” he took out his sexy underpants turned and faced me before wearing it.

Damian smirked and said “ Do you like what you see? I was speechless, and I could not pull my eyes away from the bulge in Damian underpants. He is enjoying the effect his body has on me. I sat down on the bed and allowed him to finish dressing up. I cleared my voice and asked him whether he has any plans for the photo shoot he looked at me and said “ go ahead do whatever you want, I will ask my secretary to transfer some cash to your account” tears blurred my eyes but I hurried to hold back my sadness “ why is he so cold and mean to me, and the fact that he doesn't want to help out with anything that concerns our baby”. 

He picked up his briefcase and without uttering a word, he walked towards the door and left without a goodbye 

Feeling extremely sad and miserable, I came out of Damian’s bedroom, just then my phone rang and it was Sonia. I picked up the call “ Hey preggy bunny, there is a new studio in town that we can use for the photo shoots, if you are free we can go check it out and maybe take the shots today that's if you are strong enough” Sonia is a free-spirited person and the way she looks after me like a big sis.  “ Huh” okay, I replied but you can come over to the mansion so we can go from here, she said okay and ended the call. “ Phew” I felt extraordinarily weak but I managed to drag myself to the bathroom to get ready. 

Coming out of the shower naked, The smell of my shower gel vanilla erotica filled the room and I moved to the dress stand taking out my strawberry essential oil. I applied it to my damp skin and dried my silky black straight hair. I applied Lil makeup and sheer lip gloss to my plump lips. I took out a black lacy bra and panties to match, pink biker shorts, and a black tee. The rumbling of my stomach reminded me that I haven't had breakfast just then there was a knock on the door 

“Come in please” I answered 

The new nanny entered and greeted me. She is an elderly woman and should be in her mid-forties. She has a beautiful smile with brownish dancing eyes. She's petite and has a cheerful personality. I smiled and asked her to sit on the couch so she could be comfortable. She smiled, obeyed, and introduced herself by the name Mrs. Sarah.

She asked what I wanted her to fix for breakfast and I requested bacon, fried eggs, sausage, baked beans, toast, grilled tomatoes, and ginger tea.” Ginger tea has been of great help with reducing my nausea and morning sickness, it has become part of my breakfast routine since I became  pregnant “

Mrs. Sarah’s voice jolted me back to reality asking whether there is anything else I want her to do. I looked at her, smiled, and said no for now. She complimented my outfit before leaving the room. I arranged some of the items I will need for the photo shoot then went downstairs to have my breakfast. While sitting and waiting for the food to be ready I decided to look up for baby girl's name on my phone while at it Sonia arrived and the security guards ushered her in, and she joined me to select the baby's name while we waited for Mrs. Sarah to serve breakfast. We picked the name Aria for my unborn child, it's a unique name with a beautiful meaning.  

We finished breakfast and left the dining area so Mrs. Sarah can clear and tidy up the place and we then wait for the driver to arrive,” Damian has instructed me to stop driving by myself and that I should always allow the driver to do his job” 

I stood up to use the bathroom and immediately I felt a sharp pain below my abdomen…
