    ***~~Meghan~~***“Meghan?” “Meghan?”I blink, turning to face Melissa.Her eyes narrow. “Are you okay?”“I'm fine,” I cut in.“You don't look fine to me,” she lets out, studying me. “You're overprinting and that's not you,”Shit.I tap on the printer and pull the extra copies out.It's been over a week since I found out I'm pregnant.

    ***~~Jenaya~~***As soon as I step into the house, Knox pulls me into him in one swift motion, pinning me against the wall.My breath hitched.His eyes darkens, pinned at me with that intensity I'm all too familiar with.“Knox—”The word is barely out of my mouth when he claims my lips in a deep fiery kiss, stealing the breath from my lungs.My lips part, letting him in, letting him take whatever he wants.My whole body reacts before my mind can catch up— chest tightening, skin buzzing, knees too weak I'm afraid it might fold.Every inch of me loves to be touched by him.God.I don't know how he does this.
