Blaise pulled away from her, needing a moment to himself. He slid from the bed and crossed to the loo. He took a long moment, splashing water on his face and leaning over the sink for a moment. He didn't want to think about what he had done or how bad he had wanted it. He kicked himself for putting her in the position of being unfaithful to the father of her baby.
Collecting himself and returning to the bedroom, he laid down on his side on top of the blankets. Facing her, he offered her a smile. "I apologise for that. I wasn't thinking clearly." He swallowed a little harshly and tried to return their relationship to where it had been before. "Not my fault you are so beautiful." he tweaked her nose and tugged the pillow down between them, his expression shuttered and closed.
