The Surprise by Amy Faye

“No panties?” I kept my voice low and soft.
“You like that, don’t you?”
It was my turn for my breath to catch in my throat, to sound ragged and needy and demanding. “Don’t tease me.”
She looked up at me and batted her eyelashes demurely. “No? Why not?”
When Dave Collins left, he left for good.
He left his parents, left the home he’d grown up in, and he left me… with a baby growing in my belly that I never even knew about until he was off at Basic, pretending he’d never come from a hick town in northern Michigan.
But now he’s back, and he’s as sexy as ever. I just have to remind myself that as soon as he’s done here, he’s gone again.
This time I’m not going to let it hurt so bad.
