Captivation: Want Nothing But You

Captivation Want Nothing But You Chapter 109 by Adolf Dunne

Roger and Rachel walked together through all the various stalls set up at the festival. He held Riley in his arms, talking casually as they explored all the sights and different foods. Every single dish that fascinated Rachel, he bought for her. Her hands were soon full of various containers and packets, and they’d only visited half of the stalls! While she was enjoying herself, Rachel couldn’t help that she was starting to feel tired.

She stifled a yawn behind her hand and rubbed her eyes. Roger immediately noticed her fatigue. He’d been paying close attention to her the entire time. He shifted Riley in his arms and leaned closer to speak to her so he’d be heard over the crowds. “We’ve been walking forever.

I think it’s time we found somewhere to sit and rest. Don’t you?” Rachel swept her gaze through the milling crowds and nodded. Luckily for them, there was a rest stop every 10 stalls. It wasn’t long until they found one and settled down. Roger put Riley down so his arms could rest, then turned to speak to Rachel. He noticed her face was pale. “Are you tired?” he asked. “Because you look exhausted. I think we should rest here for a while and then I’ll drive you back home.”

Rachel sipped at the orange juice in her hand and watched Riley. The child was looking around curiously, taking in all the different sights around her. Then she looked up at Roger. “When is Dr. Jimenez getting here?” Roger was right, she was tired. She felt like she needed a nap. Because of her pregnancy, she got tired easily and the smell of food sometimes made her feel sick.

She had been fine at first, but the longer she’d stayed at the festival, the more difficult it had become for her to fight against her body. The only thing stopping her from leaving was Riley. She didn’t want to disappoint her. Again, she wondered when she had gotten so soft… It must be because she was pregnant.

If it weren’t for that, she probably would have left already. 1 Roger’s cheeks flushed pink in embarrassment at her question. He dipped his hand into his pocket to brush his fingers against his phone. Right at that moment, it started to vibrate. Someone was calling him. Instead of answering the call, he felt along the side of the phone until his fingers ran over the button on the side. He held it down until his phone buzzed once and turned off.

“My sister hasn’t called me yet. I think there might be an emergency at the hospital… My guess is that she’s going to be stuck there for a little while. I don’t think she will be joining us any time soon.” Roger removed his hand from his pocket and let his arm fall loosely to his side. “If you want to go home, I’ll take you back. Once you’re safe and resting, Riley and I
