"Oh God, Charlie" Brax moans as she rides him roughly.

He bucks his hips upwards, thrusting furiously into her. Charlie begins rocking her hips and he thrusts faster, watching him as he stares at her through heavy eyelids, his eyes cloudy with lust.

He sits up, wrapping his muscular arms around her petite frame and pecks her lips softly, sweetly. "I love you so damn much, Charlie."

"I love you too." She smiles warmly, her thumb stroking the side of his face.

Charlie leans in and presses her lips to his again. Brax opens his mouth and she feels his hot tongue slide out to coax her lips apart. She offers her mouth to him and he gladly accepts. His hand cups the back of her head, his fingers burying themselves in her hair as the other moves slowly up and down her spine. Their movements now slow and sensual.

He flips them over suddenly making her squeal into his mouth in surprise. Brax chuckles in reply, continuing in his mission to kiss her senseless while pounding a delicious rhythm between her legs.

Charlie feels her orgasm creeping up on her. She pulls away from the kiss and begins quietly moaning his name again and again. Brax loves it when she does that. He loves hearing his name laced with pleasure escape from her perfect lips.

"You feel so fucking good, Charlie." He whispers, his ability to form sentences becoming compromised as wave after wave of pleasure hits him.

"Oh God, Brax." She moans as she starts to come.

"Brax." She moans again.

"Brax!"

His eyes snap open. He's in his bedroom, Charlie nowhere to be seen. Tegan lying next to him, looking at him.

"You were moaning, I think you were having a bad dream." She tells him.

"Not exactly." Comes his response.

"Ohh, someone's happy to see me." Tegan purrs as she runs her hand down his bare chest to his boxer's. He jumps up just as she puts her hand on his erection.

"Actually, I'm late to get to work. I just remembered I've got a delivery coming in half an hour." He lies.

"Don't you want me to sort you out?" She asks, nodding towards his straining boxer's.

"Nah, nothing a cold shower won't fix." Comes his hasty response.

"Whatever, less work for me!" Tegan scoffs as she turns around and goes back to sleep.

Brax grabs his towel and heads to the bathroom, glad he was able to avoid that situation.

The truth is, he was still very much in love with Charlie. As much as he wanted to do the right thing by his child with Tegan, he didn't love her.

He stepped under the cold water; it did nothing to help reduce the size of his throbbing cock.

How could it when the dream seemed so real, all he could think about was Charlie and just how beautiful and perfect she was and how much he missed her.

He sighed as he leaned against the wall, water cascading down his muscular body, thoughts of the times he'd spent with Charlie, in this very shower, playing through his mind.

He begins stroking himself as he thinks of her whispering in is ear as he had her up against the shower wall. Those long perfect legs wrapped around him as he thrust in to her, kissing and sucking on her perfect breasts as she moaned. That beautiful smile of hers as she smiled up at him before taking him in her mouth and those beautiful blue eyes that saw straight through him, passed all the bullshit, to the real him as she tells him that she loves him.

It doesn't take long for Brax to find the release he was looking for.

"Leah!" Charlie screams from inside her bedroom.

Leah rushes in to find Charlie lying on her bed trying to do up her jeans. She can't help but laugh.

"It's not funny! Nothing fits!" Charlie says, sitting up on the bed.

"Charlie, you're 4 months pregnant, your normal clothes aren't supposed to fit. You're lucky your bump is so small otherwise you would have had to do some explaining long before now."

"I know, another couple weeks and I won't be able to suck it in, or pass it off as a food baby." She sighs.

"Just stick to dresses," Leah smiles. "Have you thought anymore about telling Brax?" she asks.

"I know I have to tell him, I just don't know how. He's going to hate me."

"He won't hate you."

"How do I even begin? 'Oh Brax, you know how I broke your heart when I aborted your baby? Well it turns out I didn't, I'm still pregnant, Surprise!' somehow I can't see him being thrilled about that, Leah."

"Maybe without the sarcasm" Leah jokes. "Look Charlie, he probably will be mad for a while, but I'm sure if you explain everything, he'll understand."

"I doubt it."

"The longer you leave it, the harder it's going to be."

Charlie was headed to Bianca's when she spotted Tegan with someone in the Surf Club car park, she watched them talking very intensely for a minute or two, before Tegan looked around to make sure they weren't being watched and then handed the man an envelope. He opened it and seemed to be counting money before shaking her hand, getting in his car and driving off.

Before Charlie had time to even think about it she heard a voice behind her.

"G'day Sergeant"

She turned to see Brax jogging up to her, carrying his surfboard.

"Hey." She smiled.

"So I was wondering if you wanted to catch up tonight? Have dinner maybe?"

"I'm working until seven." She answers.

"That's ok, after seven's fine."

"Umm, ok" she agrees. "Are you ok? You look tired" she asks, noticing the bags under his eyes.

"Yeah, Just dreams I've been having " he says, blushing slightly.

"Bad ones?" she asks.

"Definitely not." He smiles "Anyway, I'd better get to the restaurant. I'll see you there at 8?"

Charlie nods.

"See you then"

That afternoon Brax received a text from Charlie.

Sorry, can't make it. Heaps of paperwork.

x

He sighed as he read it.

Leah was just about to head back to the diner to close when she ran in to Brax at the back door.

"Brax." She says, startled.

"Hi, Leah. Is Charlie in?" He asks.

"Umm, yeah she's in the bathroom."

"Do you mind if I wait for her?"

"No, make yourself at home." She says as she leaves.

The bathroom is lit by candles as Charlie sinks deeper in to her bubble bath.

Her relaxation suddenly disturbed by a gentle knock at the door.

"Come In." She calls out.

She is surprised to see the eldest River Boy walk in.

"Brax, what are you doing here?"

"You cancelled our dinner..."

"Yeah, because I had work to do"

"Clearly" he smirks, nodding towards the bath.

Charlie sinks further down in to the water.

"Relax Charlie, I've seen it all before. Besides, you're covered with bubbles."

He sits down next to the bath.

Charlie raises her eyebrows. "Are you seriously going to watch me have a bath?"

"No, I'm seriously going to sit and talk to my friend though."

They spend over an hour laughing and talking. From everything from Casey and Ruby to Heath's latest stuff up, to Colleen's latest piece of gossip circulating the town.

"I've missed this." He says, looking straight at her.

"Me too." She agrees.

"I don't know why I find it so easy to talk to you. You just get me." He admits.

She smiles at him before nodding towards the towel rack.

"Could you please pass me my towel and robe."

"Sure." Brax says, passing her the items and doing the gentlemanly thing and turning around.

Charlie steps out of the tub, dries herself and puts her robe on.

"Thanks." She says.

"Anytime." He smiles, turning around.

He lifts his arm and brushes her hair back behind her ear. She closes her eyes, as he does it. She's seriously underestimated just how much she's missed feeling of his touch.

Brax can't hold back anymore and leans in to kiss her.

Charlie doesn't fight it. She kisses him back and it's fierce and full of passion. Their tongues moving against one another as he lifts her up. Carrying her to her bedroom.

He puts her down, neither of them wanting to be the first to break the kiss.

Charlie unbuttons his black shirt and slides it down his arms, on to the floor. She finally pulls away from the kiss to look at him, take in his perfect, muscular body that she has missed so much. She kisses his chest right under his tattoo and he drops his head back to let out a breathy moan. He pulls her closer to him and she grinds her hips against his painfully erect cock. He kisses her neck as he pushes the shoulders of her robe down, exposing her breasts. Walking her backwards to the bed, he lies her down as he climbs on top of her, kissing her left breast and licking a trail to her right one before sucking on her hardened nipple.

"God I've missed you." He breathes out as he kisses his way down her stomach.

As his lips linger over her stomach Charlie panics.

"Wait! no stop." She breathes out. Pushing him off as she sits up, straightening up her robe.

"What's wrong?" He asks, kneeling down in front of her.

"We can't do this. You're with Tegan." She says softly.

"I'll call her and end it right now." Brax says without hesitation, pulling his phone out of his pocket.

"Brax, You can't do it over the phone."

Brax sighs "I've missed you so much Charlie. I just want to be with you."

"I know. I missed you too." She agrees.

He pulls Charlie in for a hug.

"I'll tell her tomorrow." He says, holding her close "I'll tell her I don't want to be with her, I only want to be there for the baby."

Charlie stays quiet, kissing his shoulder as a tear falls.

"Hey, what are the tears for?" He asks, still holding her. "...This is a good thing babe, I'll tell her and then we can be together."

"I hope so." Charlie whispers softly.

"Can I stay here tonight?" He asks. "I was supposed to be working late so Tegan's at her place anyway."

She nods.

"I'm just gonna grab some water" he says, kissing her on the forehead as he gets up.

Charlie sighs as he leaves the room, getting up to get changed.

As much as she really wants to keep going with Brax, she know sleeping with him and then telling him the truth would only make things harder, he'd be even angrier. She needed to tell him but now wasn't the time. Charlie makes the decision to tell him tomorrow, before he breaks up with Tegan. That way, if he reacts badly, he'd have the option of staying with Tegan if he wanted to make things work. She might have her faults but at least Tegan hadn't lied to him. All Charlie could hope for now is that he'd understand.

"Wow, you kept it." Brax smiles from the doorway.

Charlie turned around. She was wearing one of his old shirts.

"Yeah, I sleep in it every night." She smiles, walking over to the bed.

It was swimming on her but to Brax, she'd never looked sexier. Only two buttons done up so it exposed just enough and with her sexy legs on display. It took everything Brax had not to rip it off her and take her right there.

"Are you coming to bed?" She asked, patting the bed next to her.

Brax strips down to his boxer's, turns the light off and climbs in beside her.

"So is a good night kiss out of the question?" he smirks.

"Brax..."

"Ok fine" he agrees, not wanting to push her.

Charlie sighs.

"Just one." She says, leaning over to kiss him.

He smiles, deepening the kiss, moving his tongues against hers.

"Goodnight." she smiles, resting her forehead against his.

"Goodnight." He says, kissing her nose before she rolls over.

He wraps his arms around her and snuggles in as close as he can, kissing the side of her head as they drift off to sleep.

His hand unintentionally resting over Charlie's small bump, almost as if subconsciously protecting their unborn child .
