SEX WITH THE VIRGIN MAID by KIARI HORSFALL

He Loves Her Too Bryce was led into Hera's ward after informing Mariam to update the sisters at the convent about Hera's progress. She's asking for him and he didn't know what to expect. Was she angry at him? Would she scold him? Would she tell him off? With every step he took, his fears only heightened. He stepped into her room to find her resting with her eyes closed but when he got closer to her bed, she slowly opened her eyes to find him in front of her. Her once cheerful and peaceful face had gone pale and he suddenly felt guilty.

Hera on the other hand was ecstatic to see Bryce. She had thought that he had left when he found out that she was pregnant. It took a lot of convincing on the doctor's part that he was still out there waiting for her and that's why she asked that he was brought in to cand see her so that she'd know what to believe. If maybe they were lying to her or otherwise but here he was.

It took everything she had to not jump out of bed and run into his arms but she opened up her arms instead and he walked into them, the tears that stung her eyes, falling freely. Bryce felt relieved that she wasn't angry at him. His whole world was right here in his arms. "Bryce I'm s-so sorry." She apologized in between sobs and hiccups. "I lost the baby and i tried to run away from you after hiding it because i was too scared to face you and-" He pulled away from her. "You lost what?" He asked suddenly. Didn't she know? Didn't the doctor tell her? "The baby." She sniveled, her eyes turning red from crying too much. Bryce knew then that she wasn't aware that she was still pregnant. The doctor had told him and not her. "I know that you hatenow and that you probably wouldn't want to be withanymore because i lied to you but i didn't mean to Bryce. It was never my intention. I was scared that you would hateand you're right to hate" "Hera, sweetheart." He drawled soothingly, kissing her cheeks that had gone salty from crying too hard but still, he didn't mind. "You didn't loose our baby Hera. Our baby is safe and you're still pregnant with our baby." He placed his hands gently on her stomach to assure her that he was speaking the truth so that she believes him. "I'm still pregnant?" She asked, dumbfounded. "I was bleeding and i thought that i—" "Our baby is fine." It took a whole lot for Bryce not to break down in front of her. "You're still pregnant Cara. You're carrying my child." "So you don't hate me?" She sniffed but he only smiles.

"Now why would i hate the mother of my child?" He kissed her knuckles.

"Because you toldthat you didn't want kids. I asked you that night and you said you weren't ready to have them." She went on. "And i don't blyou for it. You've suffered a lot growing up so i completely understand why you didn't want them or a family." "I only said what i said that night because of you." He told her. "I didn't want them because i wasn't sure that you wanted them and I didn't want to pressure you into thinking about it. I know the lengths that you are always willing to go forand i didn't want to put this on you when you weren't ready for it." Hera remained silent, watching him with nothing but tears trailing down her cheeks.

"I've never wanted kids Cara but i never said that I didn't want to have them with you." He confessed affectionately. "If there's any woman in the world whom i would want to have children with, it'll definitely be you Hera and that's because I love you very much." She shuddered slightly at his words. "You love me?" "Of course i love you silly." He said in between laughs. "I've always loved you. What made you think that i didn't love you?" "You never toldthat you did." She countered innocently. "You always toldthat i was more than a friend to you but you never said those words toBryce. I waited to hear them but you never did." "I gave myself to you Hera. I prayed, God i even stepped foot into a church for the first tin years because of you. I went on a trip to a convent and even asked you to move in with me." He listed them meticulously. "Why would i go through all of that if I didn't love you?" He asked but she didn't respond.

"I love you Hera." He confessed. "I have loved you even when i didn't know what that word meant and what it entailed. I have always loved you and i will always love you." He hugged her again, breathing her in to calm his nerves. He had just confessed to a woman that he loved her. For the first tin his life, he had let go of his past life for this woman.

"I love you too Bryce." He conceded. "I've always loved you too." "I can't wait to take you home. I'm sick of seeing you stuck here in this ridiculous hospital attire." He teased, kissing her lips full and she laughed in his mouth.

"We're going to have a baby." He whispered excitedly. "I'm going to be a dad and you're going to be a mom. I feel like making love to you all over again." He muttered between breaths and she pushed him away playfully. "Where's Nella?" Hera asked and Bryce countenance fell. Why would she be asking for her? She was the reason why Hera was in this state in the beginning.

"I sent her away after she hurt you Cara and don't worry, as long as I'm alive, she won't ever cnear us or bother you again." Hera was confused. "But she didn't hurt me. I missed my footing and fell

down the stairs. Nella had nothing to do with i was trying to leave the m house as fast as as i could that i el? slipped by accident. It was my fault nothers. Nella didn't hurt me.' ||

Bryce struggled to believe it but he wouldn't doubt Hera. If she saidm If that's what happened then she was saying the truth. She would never to him intentionally.

"I don't care about that Cara. I'm just glad that you and our baby are okay and that's all that matters right now." He said to her, happy that she was finally awake and right there with him. Nothing else matters at this point, not even Nella.
