SLY
I shake up the can of cream and squirt some in my mouth, swallowing it. I lean over her and devour her sexy mouth, as she lets my tongue inside. The heated passion between us hasn’t slowed down at all since the beginning.
Today I told her I love her. I fucking love her with every cell in my body. I would die without her, die for her. She’s the air I need to breathe. Is it even possible to love someone as much as I love this woman? She makes the impossible seem possible. And since the air has been cleared between us about my past, the darkness doesn’t try to claw its way out anymore. It stays right where it belongs, buried.
Pulling her dress off, I slowly and torturously lick the cream from her neck down to her stomach. Her body trembles against my tongue, and she works her hands into my hair. Working my way back up, I pay special attention to each breast, sucking the cream off them. Her nipples perk against my tongue.
“You taste like a goddess, Raine, a fucking goddess.”
Moving my way down, I look up at her and she bites down on her lower lip as I work my tongue over and around her wet center.
“I need you inside me before I combust,” she begs.
“Your wish is my command.” I press myself into her and her breathing hitches. She grips my lower back. My mouth hovers over hers as I thrust in her. “Tell me again that you love me,” I demand.
“I love you,” she says breathlessly. “Oh god,” she moans and her body convulses under me. I join her in the release of ecstasy.
“I love you so much, Raine,” I whisper into her ear.
After we shower our sticky bodies, we change the bed sheets and get into bed, ready to start another day in our life. She is mine and I am hers. In bed, with her back turned to me, I pull her against my chest and wrap my arm around her.

RAINE
When I wake, I find myself in an empty bed, but a note is pressed up against the lamp on the bedside table.
Breakfast is on the table in the kitchen. Sorry I missed you. Love you, Sly
I smile at the note. Throwing on my satin robe and slipping my feet into my cozy slippers, I walk downstairs to the kitchen. There I find a bakery bag. Opening it, there is a blueberry muffin inside. Yet again, a wave of nausea overcomes me, and I run to the bathroom.
Hurriedly, I flip the lid up and purge whatever contents exist inside me. Thank god Sly isn’t here to see this. Vomiting two days in a row can only mean one thing, but I can’t believe it. We’ve been careful. Actually, I’m the only form of birth control, but it’s never one hundred percent. I gather myself and clean my face with a wet washcloth.
Gripping the sink, I look in the mirror to study myself. Do I look any different? My body hasn’t changed at all. Still the same bright blue eyes and overflowing raven-colored hair. I grab a hair-tie and twist my hair into a messy bun. I need to make an emergency run to the drug store, but first, I need to force myself to eat.
Sitting at the table, I slowly pick at the muffin, trying to calm myself as I contemplate my worst nightmare coming true. This is not how I wanted to do things. Most importantly, how will Sly react? What if I lose him? What if this is what tears us apart?
Chapter Fifteen
RAINE
After I shower and my stomach settles, I walk out into the frigid air. I drive to the closest drugstore to make a purchase I’m not looking forward to. Hesitantly, I grab the item and quickly purchase it before changing my mind. I purchase two, just in case.
After paying for my items, I arrive home quickly so I can see the results. I pull the long box out, and there is no need to read the directions since I’ve been through this once before. Pulling the stick out, I pee on it and anxiously await the results. Pregnant. Or Not.
Nervously, I pace the bathroom, back and forth, back and forth, until enough time elapses. I don’t know if I
