Ethan's POV
So, I ducked my head and listened to it closely again.
"Mama..."
I was shocked and embarrassed as I finally realized what he was mumbling in his sucking.
His words hit me like a punch to the gut.
My cheeks burned with a mixture of embarrassment and something else I couldn't quite name.
He thinks I was his mother.
The realization sent a strange pang through my chest and I could only see it as a blend of pity and affection that I couldn't ignore.
The sweet but horrible memories of my nightmare flashed through my mind and without thinking, I wrapped my arms around him as I pulled him closer.
His face pressed deeper into my cleavage, and he responded with renewed eagerness and his hands tightened around me as he continued to suckle.
As I held him, a troubling thought struck me.
