She knew deep down telling Bruno about the boys is the right thing to do but they are worlds apart and he doesn't look like a man who can change a diaper or feed the boys a bottle during the night.Numbers and figures seemed more of his thing.The other day when Sage had been busy cleaning his office she'd come across an empty insulin shot in the bathroom, finding it had left her without a doubt where the boys inherited their diabetes from.It seems they have inherited everything from their father and nothing of hers,stepping out of the shower she wrapped a towel around herself.When she'd seen the newspaper headline on his desk about his engagement Sage had told herself maybe him not knowing about the boys is for the best,he'll get married and start a family of his own soon why should she disrupt that for him.They only had a one night stand it's not like it meant anything,it is better if he doesn't know,better for everyone especially him.He looked at his aunt from across the table the
"Why?"She wanted to know."You are engaged to a beautiful woman.What do you want from me,I'm a nobody as you can see.Why on earth would a man like you who's so sinfully handsome and sexy go out with me.There's plenty of woman out there who would love to be taken out by you.""Just not you."He said."Yes."She stated firmly."Firstly I'm not engaged and secondly I don't want any other woman except for you.""No!"Sage softly muttered."You don't."He grinned."I think I'm old enough to know what I want.How old are you?"She gaped at him."How rude of you to ask such a question.""I know but enlighten me if you want.""Twenty-two."He held her gaze."I know my height makes me look younger than I actually am some people make that mistake.""You do look young."He admitted."But we both know you're actually a very passionate woman."Sage turned crimson and looked anywhere except at him."Mr Romero it's time to go.I have work tomorrow."She walked over to the door and held it open."So please if you do
"So when is the wedding.""We haven't decided on a date yet but Luca suggested having something small in a month with only our family present,he said later on we'll have something big.""He's in a hurry to make you his wife."Sage smiled."Do you agree with him.""I think I might be pregnant Sage,I didn't get my period last week or last month either."Sage's eyes grew wide. "And I haven't told Luca yet.""Did you take a test."Sage asked."That's why I came here,so we could do it together I'm kinda scared and don't want to do it alone."Kim took out three pregnancy tests."To be hundred percent sure.""I understand."Sage said."With these two I didn't want to believe it because me and Br-.."Sage stopped herself just in time from telling Kim who the boys true father is."We used protection so it kinda came as a shock when I found out I was pregnant and that too when I had been four months along."Sage took Logan from her."You know where the bathroom is."Kim left and returned a few minutes later
"Even keeping them away from their own father.""Kim not you too.It's bad enough Gina made me feel guilty.""Clearly it didn't help.Let me ask you this question if you don't want Bruno to know the truth then why are you going out with him.""Because if I don't he won't give up until I say yes,so I did.""You playing with fire Sage."Kim said."What if he finds out on his own.""I'll just have to make sure he doesn't and come Saturday I'll ask him to stay away from me.""And if he doesn't.""I haven't thought that far yet."She answered truthfully. "But I'll deal with it when the time comes.""Do you feel something for him.""No,I don't even really know him.""We both know you don't have to know someone to be drawn to them it just happens we cannot stop it.""I know and like I said I don't know him.""Friend to friend.I don't believe you one bit maybe you do feel something that's why you trying so hard to convince yourself you don't that way you won't have to feel so guilty for wanting th
"Well I can't help it there's a beautiful lady in my car how can I not stare."That sexy grin was on his face it made her insides do somersaults.She took a deep breath."How much longer to the restaurant."He checked his Armani wrist watch."Fifteen minutes.Is my company that horrible.""Quite the contrary."She put on a smile."I enjoy it very much."Oh gosh she has to get a hold of herself especially if she's gonna wanna survive the next few hours ahead, but she cannot help it this man's presence unsettles her and not in a weird way,light fingers touched her cheek."You look beautiful Sage."Huge brown eyes glared at him in disbelief.No matter how much she tried to look away from his gorgeous eyes she couldn't."T-thank you."She whispered,his hand was still on her cheek..caressing and it stirred all kinds of erotic sensations."Hopefully tonight we'll get to know each other.Better."He added slowly."I'm not sleeping with you if that's what you had in mind.""Your naked flesh is all I have
"I'm so happy for you.May you always be happy.""Thank you Sage.You'll have some explaining to do.""About what?"She asked confused."The twins.Or did you forget Bruno heard you.""Oh that I forgot he was there.""It's not too late to tell him.""I know.Come on let's head back I'm starving.""For food or Bruno."Her friend asked."Kim please don't start."They smiled and went back to their table.Dinner was nice and Sage relished her meal despite Bruno's presence she was relaxed and more like her usual self,casual conversation went around the table throughout dinner Bruno didn't ask her anything about the twins but she knows he was only biding his time until they were gonna be alone,not that it will happen.She was going home with Luca and Kim being alone with him isn't a good idea at all."Thank you guys for dinner but I cannot stay long."Sage said a while later."Why?"Bruno asked.Sage met his eyes."Because I can't.Not that I have to tell you Bruno."He flashed her an angry glare."Wanna
"No,it's fine.""No it isn't Sage,the fault is mine allow me to make it right.If I didn't frighten you it never would've fallen.""Bruno I said-...""Sage please."He insisted,she nodded."Nothing fancy please."He grabbed her arm."What are you doing?""Taking you home."He said steering her to his waiting car."Bruno.Wait."She said."There's no need,I already called a cab you-....""I'm not taking no for answer Sage."He held the car door open."You my date I brought you here,and I will take you home.A real gentleman always makes sure a lady gets home safely.Now get in.""Firstly I wasn't your date and secondly your fiance must be waiting for you inside.I'll be fine,don't worry about me.You go right ahead and enjoy your night.Look my cab is here."She said going over to it,he caught her wrist preventing her from going."Bruno,let go."Sage saw Lana coming and she didn't look happy at all."What's going on here."She demanded."What are you doing with my fiance."What is she doing with her fianc
"Bruno.Stop it."She found herself in his strong arms. "Bruno.Don't."She begged as his scent filled her lungs. Sage could feel her nipples hardening,and she wasn't wearing any bra,can he feel it.Please god don't let him.He studied her face."Did you sleep last night.You look tired.""I am."She admitted."The boys didn't get much sleep last night.I only put them to bed a few minutes ago.""Why don't you get help Sage it must be hard to be a single mother of two boys.""No we fine.They teething that's why they so fussy it's nothing I can't handle.""Do you want me to take you guys to a doctor?"His genuine concern is touching."No Bruno.We're fine.You need to leave I have things to do before the boys wake up.""Can I kiss you before I go.""No!"She jumped and moved away from him."I don't want you to kiss me or touch me or make love to me,what I want is for you to leave and take your reporters with you.I have a life I need to get back to,a job,so please..."She showed him the door."Sage I w
