Chapter 8

Ryan

It hadn't been as embarrassing waking up the next morning with Marcus as I thought it would be. I had been worried that he had been too drunk to remember what we had done, like some exes of mine who forgot everything when they had been drinking. However, he had remembered everything and he wasn't embarrassed or ashamed. He even remembered the shower sex and the possibility that I could be pregnant. He still felt the exact same way he had the night before.

I shook my head, still amazed. He was an alpha, strong and assertive, even arrogant at times, and yet he was so tender and loving. I even had a feeling that he was excited about the chance of me being pregnant. He had sworn he was never going to have kids and yet he was happy about the chance of me being pregnant.

I thankedthe driver and got out of the car at my apartment building. Marcus had called his driver to take me home, which was thoughtful. He wanted me to stay the whole day but I needed to get back home. Lance would be waiting to hear how the party went and oh boy, did I have some stuff to tell him. Besides, I needed time to decompress from the weekend, catch up with Lance, and do chores. I wasn't the type of person that was going to spend the whole weekend in bed with someone I wasn't even dating. At that thought, I blushed. God, I had been a complete slut last night.

I rode up the elevator, then turned took out my keys, when my apartment door suddenly opened. "Ryan! I wondered where you were! I was beginning to get worried."

I rolled my eyes and walked into Lance's hug. The truth was that I had completely forgotten to tell Lance I was spending the night somewhere else. We had a rule with each other, one we developed after a bad night Lance had several years ago. We always texted one another if we were spending the night.

"I'm sorry. I completely and absolutely forgot."

"Thank God. I was hoping that was the case. I knew you were going out for drinks with your work friends. I hoped you were just partying all night and were hungover with the other paralegals."

I couldn't hide my blush.

"Oh my God. You got laid!"

I blushed even harder. Oh, what the hell. I let my smile out and nodded.

"Yup."

Lance threw up his arms and cheered.

"Finally! Tell me all about it. I want to know who it was, how good they were and if you're seeing him again! Is it too early for margaritas?"

I frowned.

"Yes. Definitely. But maybe later on tonight we can have them."

"So come on, spill it."

"Let me just get some other clothes on and get something to drink first."

"Fine. I'm going to get you sparkling water and wait out here on the couch."

God these clothes were going straight in the wash. They smelled of sweat and, I took a sniff, Marcus's scent. Oh God. I sniffed the shirt again. I missed him already. Just sniffing the shirt had me smiling, happy and relaxed. I was an idiot for coming home.

"I don't hear any movement in there? You didn't fall asleep did you?"

I dropped the shirt.

"Hold your horses!" I finished changing my clothes and walked to the living room in sweatpants and a T-shirt.

"Now spill!" Lance shoved a glass of water at me and I chugged half. "Wow. I've never seen you come back from a night so thirsty."

"Well that's because I didn't do much drinking." I drank the rest of the water and then told Lance everything. I couldn't stop smiling the entire time. Last night had been a dream come true, literally.

"I'm really happy for you. But, this is going to make things at work really weird."

I nodded my head. Boy, I knew that. I worried that Marcus would regret things by Monday and I'd get moved to another attorney's team. Or worse, back to Mercado's section. If any of those things happened I would just have to deal with it. At least I had one night with my fantasy lover.

"Yeah, I know. I guess I'll find out tomorrow. For now I'm just going to relish in the fact that I got a night with my dream."
