LOGINRhea POVThe question came out so suddenly that his entire body stiffened instantly.He froze completely, his breath catching as a heavy silence stretched between us. Then slowly, he turned his head, his gray eyes locking onto me as he asked carefully, “Are you pregnant?”My eyes widened in pure panic as I quickly shook my head, my hands lifting instinctively in denial.“No, no, no. Of course not.”I didn’t even want to get pregnant, at least not now, and definitely not under these chaotic circumstances with him. But the moment I saw Dorian visibly exhale in relief, a sharp, unexpected sting shot through my chest.It hurt more than I wanted to admit.Swallowing the bitterness, I forced myself to continue. “But just because I take those pills doesn’t mean there isn’t a chance I could still get pregnant. No birth control is a hundred percent foolproof, you know.”“That can’t happen,” Dorian suddenly snapped.I flinched at the force of his voice as he shot up from the bed and began pacin
Rhea POVWhen I opened my eyes again, I was back in the bedroom Dorian and I shared, but just like always, he wasn’t beside me. The sun was already high in the sky, streaming warmly through the large windows and illuminating the room.Thinking he was probably downstairs making breakfast, I forced myself to sit up, but my entire body groaned in protest.My mind immediately replayed the wonderful, exhilarating feeling of shifting, the pure freedom of running beneath the moonlight, right before the tragedy happened.Why had I been in pain? I wondered as I slowly pushed myself to my feet, only to stumble slightly when my knee buckled beneath me. After a moment, I finally regained my balance.Gripping the wall for support, I slowly made my way toward the door.But the moment I started walking down the stairs, my footsteps came to an abrupt stop.Angry, hushed voices echoed up from the bottom of the staircase.“You said there was nothing wrong with her.”The voice belonged to Dorian.Even t
Rhea POVFor a long moment, I remained frozen, just staring at him, completely unsure of what to do. Was I just supposed to close my eyes and shift? But then what would happen next? The whole thing was so frustrating.As if sensing my uneasiness, Dorian immediately shifted back into his human form in another seamless blur. Before I could even speak, he stepped closer and gently placed a warm hand over my eyes.“What do you see?” he whispered, his voice low and grounding right beside my ear.“Nothing,” I whispered back in disappointment. Was I supposed to see something? All I saw was darkness, and that was only because his palm was blocking out the moonlight.“Good…” he murmured.My brows knitted together. Good? How was this good?“Relax,” he added softly.Hearing the calm command in his voice, I instinctively exhaled, letting my shoulders drop as the tension slowly drained from my body.“Do you see a light?” he asked. “A small one, just ahead of you?”“I just said…” I began, about to
Rhea POVWe had gone at it for so long that the moon was now fully out in the sky, casting a brilliant silver glow over the open field.By the time we decided to end the session for the day, I had already gotten much more comfortable holding the gun and could actually shoot without flinching at the deafening sound.“You are quite a natural,” Dorian commented as we sat together on a small blanket in the open field, munching on a few snacks we had brought along.“You think so?” I replied, trying not to pay too much attention to how incredibly close he had gotten.He was sitting practically on top of me. I could literally feel his warm breath brushing against my neck, and his hand remained firmly around my waist, almost like he was worried I would be snatched away at any second, even though it was just the two of us for miles around.“Most people take about a week to even hold a gun properly,” he said, his voice dropping into that low, rumbling register.“And I only took a few hours,” I
Rhea POVThree days had passed since we arrived here, and even though it was just Dorian and me in such a massive place, I was actually having fun.More than that, I was finally relaxing.For the first time in a long time, I didn’t have to worry about being seen, about who might be watching me, or what danger could be lurking around the next corner.Dorian handled every meal, taking over the kitchen with an effortless confidence that was honestly frustratingly attractive.His face seemed even brighter lately.Maybe it was because he was finally getting enough sleep, completely unplugged from the usual chaos that surrounded his life. Still, I found it strange that he was always awake before me, with breakfast already prepared and waiting by the time I walked into the dining room. Every morning, he’d greet me with the warmest smile on his face.He was playing the role of the perfect, attentive host.But after a while, the cracks slowly started to show.Whenever he thought I wasn’t payi
Dorian POVHer soft whimpers gradually turned into moans as my fingers moved inside her in a steady rhythm.My lips stayed on her breast, kissing and lavishing attention on the sensitive peak while I added a second finger, stretching her gently before curling them just enough to make her hips jolt forward.She was still obviously embarrassed, probably because this was the first time we had ever done something like this outside, but her body betrayed every ounce of hesitation. She rocked against my hand like she couldn’t get enough.Every gasp and quiet moan that escaped her made my cock throb harder against her thigh. I wanted more. I wanted so badly to be inside her.Fuck.She was so tight and impossibly wet, her body clenching around my fingers every time I curled them.The water splashed softly around us as she moved against me, her fuller breasts rising and falling with every motion, still damp from my mouth.I could feel her getting closer. Her breathing became quicker, and littl
Kale POVThe majority of the dinner passed in a boring blur. Questions were asked, but they were mostly surface level, generic ones. She asked most of them, and I gave short, clipped replies.Honestly, she wasn’t bad company. She wasn’t pushy or giggly like I had assumed most high ranking girls wou
Kale POVThe silence between us was heavy, and for a moment the only sounds were the rain pounding against the windshield and the steady hum of the engine.Elizabeth crossed her arms tightly over her chest. Her teeth chattered once before she could stop it.I didn’t want to. I swear I didn’t want t
Rhea POV“What?”Vivianne’s perfect smile crumbled instantly, her lips parting in shock, the word coming out sharper than she probably intended.Even I looked up at Dorian, stunned that he would speak to his wife like that. Especially in front of me. I tried to pry myself out of his grasp, desperat
Rhea POV“What are you doing in here? Were you going through my things?” I said, mostly out of fear of being caught rather than anger. My heart was pounding so loudly it came out defensive anyway. I hated the way it sounded. Disrespectful. Cold. But I was drowning in panic, in the terror of seeing
