"You are the only person I love. Who else would I love?" I question.

Satisfaction appears on his face. "Good. Then there shouldn't be any issue for you to prove it to me."

"How? I'll do anything. I'm not a prude," I quickly add.

His expression shows his approval at that. He slides my skirt down, and it falls to my feet. He reaches around my body and releases the button on my tube top. He bunches the material in his fist and tosses it across the room.

Tingles race down my spine, right to my core.

He declares, "There are only two questions I need answers to."

"What are they?"

"Are you ready to give me all of you?"

"You already have all of me."

"Do I?" he questions, his eyes turning to slits.

"Of course you do."

He claims, "I don't have all of you right now, gorgeous. So I need a yes or no to my question."

"You do," I insist.

"I've not come in you," he declares.

I gape at him.

"I need it, Ivy. You and me as one."

My pulse quickens. I stutter, "I-I-I d-don't want to get pregnant. I thought you didn't want me to either?"

He nods. "I don't."

I add, "You said the shot would take a few weeks to kick in."

He strokes my cheek. "When did you get your period last?"

I ponder his question, then answer, "Last week."

"So you're not ovulating."

I slowly shrug. "I don't know."

"You aren't."

"How can you be sure?" I ask.

He firmly asserts, "It's day fourteen of the first day of your last period. So I can come in you and you won't get pregnant. We'll have to be careful for a few days next week before the shot kicks in."

"Ummm...why don't you use a condom?" I suggest.

His face falls, revealing more hurt. "You don't want all of me?"

"I do!"

"Then I need to come inside you."
