What if Elizabeth tried to make trouble? Surely Raker wouldn’t believe her. I would never dare to tamper with his condoms!

When I got home, I still felt nauseated, exhausted. The smell of the ground beef for the BBQ suddenly made me feel unbearably sick, and I had to run to a bathroom, where I threw up in the sink.

Awareness crawled over my skin, and I tried to ignore it, but it would not go away.

Oh no

Joy and fear, all mixed together in a confusing mix of trouble in my belly.

Finally, I made my furtively to the bathroom, digging around in the First Aid kits and the plastic containers full of pads and tampons.

God damn it, there had to be one!

Condoms were thick and reliable, but surely someone. . .sometime had been curious!

Finally, just when I had given it up, my fingers closed on a box shoved at the very back of the drawer.

Eagerly, I ripped it open and ran to the toilet.

Maybe I wouldn’t have to pee. But no, I had to pee all the time these days.

I had barely ripped down my panties when I was spraying all over the whole test. Squeaking in annoyance, I gritted my teeth and made sure it was positioned correctly under the stream.

Then I set the test on the counter and cleaned up the seat.

The seconds ticked by and my blood roared in my ears.

I couldn’t put it off any longer.

I looked over.

That second pink line was as bold and bright as anything.

Pregnant

CHAPTER 10

Raker

The day after the Ceremony, I rolled over with my cock hard as a goddamn rock. It always was when I woke up these days.

I used to be a shit sleeper, but ever since having Sunni warm my bed, I had slept goddamn good. Even better, she often woke me up with a blowjob, but today her face looked pale and drawn.

“What’s the matter?” I asked sharply.

Of course, I could go get someone else to blow me, but I preferred Sunni.

There had always been something about her technique, the eager way she took me down, drank every drop like she couldn’t get enough.

“Raker, you—you care for me, right? Like you’re happy I’m in your bed?”

I frowned at her.

“I wouldn’t allow you in here if I wasn’t happy with you,” I said. “You’re in my room for my use. No other club girl gets that. What else do you want?”

“I’m here just foryou?” she asked in a small voice, twisting her fingers. She took her full bottom lip in her teeth, and my cock throbbed in my pants.

I pulled her lip down, feeling her tongue on my fingers.
