The Greek Tycoon's Pregnant Wife Page 17


  ‘Tired?’ Demetri asked now, coming to sit on the side of the bed nearest his wife, and Jane stroked his cheek.

  ‘A little,’ she conceded. ‘But I’ll get over it. How about you? You haven’t even been to bed.’

  Demetri shrugged. ‘I don’t like sleeping alone,’ he confessed softly, playing with the buttons on the front of her gown.

  ‘You don’t have to,’ she said at once, moving across the huge bed to give him room. ‘Come on. You know you want to.’

  Demetri hesitated. ‘You need your sleep,’ he said, glancing at the clock.

  ‘You need yours,’ she countered. ‘I want you to stay, Demetri. I don’t like sleeping alone either.’

  Demetri regarded her for a long moment and then he stood and unfastened his shirt. Tossing it onto a chair, he followed it with his trousers, and then drew back the covers to get into bed.

  ‘You don’t sleep in boxers,’ Jane pointed out huskily, and, with a rueful grimace, Demetri kicked them off as well.

  ‘Goodness knows what Nurse Seledha will say when she brings Nikolas for his feed,’ Jane added, teasingly. And when Demetri would have protested, she reached over him and turned off the lamp. ‘Don’t fret, my darling. She’ll just be envious of me.’
