Lex Cross carried Flora Bloom into a room and gently placed her on the bed. His warm, large hand caressed her forehead and cheek.
"I saw you were having so much fun, so I didn't call you back. But you soaked yourself in the ocean, and now you're freezing. Have you forgotten that you're pregnant?"
"I'm healthy, I'm fine!"
Flora Bloom gazed into Lex Cross's deep eyes, watching as his devilishly handsome face drew so near. His lips curved up, about to press against hers.
Flora Bloom cupped his face with both hands and planted a quick SMACK on his cheek. "I'm going into my space to change clothes," she said, before vanishing from the bed.
Lex Cross, still leaning over, froze in place as the smile on his lips widened. He felt that she seemed a little different since coming back from the ocean.
She no longer seemed to resist his approach. At least, the bewilderment and resistance in her eyes that used to drive him crazy were gone whenever he got close.
