The instant joy that shone on his face made me smile as he grinned. He took his seatbelt off and placed his head on my stomach.

“I can't hear anything,” he said, sounding disappointed. “Why can't I hear our baby?”

“Uh, it might be a wee bit early,” I said, running my hand over his hair with a wistful smile. He was going to be a great vampire daddy. “Maybe you didn't fuck me properly,” I said innocently.

His head jerked up, and he narrowed his eyes on me.

“Is that right?” he said with a dangerous glint in his eye.

“Don’t even think about it. I need to pick up the resident's prescriptions and a pregnancy test,” I said as I tried to push him away from me.

“I thought your pussy tasted different this morning,” he mused. “Yeasty.”

“What?!” I screeched, but I felt mortified.

When he grinned, I shook my head at him.

“You're not good for my blood pressure.”

“Nope, your heart rate is normal. Your face is a little red, though.”

“Yes, Dr Lawton,” I said, rolling my eyes at him.

When I saw the promise of retribution in his eyes, I realised my concerns were unfounded—as long as I pushed his buttons, I was sure he would end up choking me one way or another.

Chapter 17

Samuel

Charlotte was pregnant, and I couldn't contain my elation, but the only shadow that overcasted our happiness was the vampire in the area. I needed to reconsider and ask Derrick to come up because I would not leave Charlotte’s side when there was danger present. The fact that two of the captives were missing was more than alarming. She wouldn't be happy if I took her away from her home.

“Perhaps you should take maternity leave,” I said.

“Are you serious? I’m not even two months pregnant yet,” she said as she climbed into bed. “I only took the test today.”

“We are wealthy. You don't need to work if you don't want to.”

“I love seeing my wee wrinklies. They make my day.”

I smiled at her description because they were a colourful bunch.

“Plus, you are there to help me,” she said, snuggling into me.

I held her close before I reached out to switch the lamp off. She was more tired than usual, and I wanted her to get some sleep before I invaded her sweet pussy first thing in the morning. I nuzzled her neck and buried my face in her hair. She was asleep within minutes, but I loved holding her in my arms and listening to her heartbeat.

The thought of our child inside her womb made me feel giddy. The last few centuries made me emotionless and apathetic. When I met Charlotte, it felt like someone had hit me over my head with a sledgehammer. It jolted me out of my biased views of humans.

I caressed her soft stomach gently, unable to comprehend how someone like myself could have created life with this vibrant, remarkable young woman. Through her work, I saw humanity and compassion. I paused in rubbing her stomach as I realised I would die to protect them. I would end it all to ensure my child and Charlotte lived on.

Hopefully, it wouldn't come to that because I wanted to live for my family, to meet our precious child. To spend the remainder of my lifespan with Charlotte by my side. I gently kissed various parts of her face and smiled when she remained asleep.

“But why?” Charlotte cried out.

“I am not choking you when it could cut off the air supply to our baby,” I said as I scowled at her.

“Is it my neck? You're getting bored of it.”
