LOGINAs I laid there waiting for sleep to take me. I was startled as my eyes drifted they landed on a human shaped shadow again by the bathroom door. I tried to roll. Nothing happened. Scared now, I tried to reach my phone. My arms wouldn’t move. My breathing was getting rapid. The only thing that would move is my eyes. Why can’t I move? From the corner of my eye, I saw it. The shadow moved from the doorframe towards me. It was an ambiguous huge male human shape with a hat on its head. Once it reached the bed, it stopped. Less than a foot from me and I couldn’t make out any details. My heart was racing, and my breathing was ragged. Male knuckles traced my jaw from my ear to my chin. The touch was gentle. Intimate even. A husky, seductive chuckle filled the air that still smelt of the candle. “I know what you need little gazelle.” The shadow shimmered. Now I could see the details. He was at least six foot two. Dark skin, bald head, and wearing jeans that clung to his muscled legs. An unbuttoned dark purple shirt displayed his taunt chest. The moonlight showed his beautiful smile as he leaned towards me. I tried to speak, but nothing came out. “Shhh. I’m going to make it all better.” ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was supposed to be a relaxing vacation.

Rolling my eyes, we looked at the test on the counter. The words on the little screen caused the air to leave my lungs. I felt a little woozy. Caspian tightened his hold on me as we stared at it together. My hand clenched to his on my stomach. I felt my jaw go slack. No idea what was going on with the demon behind me. All I could see was that one word on the screen. That one word that changed everything.PREGNANT“Breath, Querida.” His velvet smooth voice was huskier than normal. Undoubtedly, he was feeling more emotions than me. I was just a forty year old woman pregnant by my demon lover. He was about to lose his very identity. Concern for him made me push past my fear to turn to look at him.“Are you ok?” I asked concerned, looking him over to see if anything was different. My hands randomly touching him. He felt and looked like he always had.
The imps got an oops look then fled with the trollies. Lucky demons. Caspian and I froze, scared to make a move in case it startled the maras across from us. Lena was looking at Bodhi with wide blue eyes shimmering with unshed tears. Her lips trembled on her pale face. Bodhi was searching her face for a clue.After what seemed to be an eternity, the imps popped back in. This time wearing matching leggings and hoodies with fake babies strapped to their fronts. They stood in the doorway with their hands fisted on their hips. I had to bit my lip to keep from laughing at how absurd they looked. Kerrigan shot me a look that caused a tingle of fear to shoot down my spine.“Yes. You got her prego.” Kensington announced to the shell shocked incubus. Both the imps looked to our untouched dessert plates. “Is the fruit making you nauseous?”Lena gave a tiny shake of her blonde head. I cleared my throat and stood up. “Perhaps we should give them a moment.”Caspian stood with me. He took my hand a
All the nonhumans snickered. As the imps flitted around the kitchen, I learned a bit more about them. They had come out of the primordial ooze in the same batch of imps. The maras that they had been assigned to were friends, so their bond strengthen. Every few centuries, they update their names. Always choosing ones that were similar.I looked at Caspian. “Do you change your name too?” He nodded. “Ohhhh! What was it?”He smiled at me. Damn tingle shot through me. Apparently, I was going to be horny and emotional today. I shrugged at his knowing look. Lena snickered too. Guess she could sense it too. “My original name is in a tongue a human can’t speak. Caspian is the closest version of it. I did however think about changing it after it was used in books.”Lena snickered again. I joined her since I knew which books he was referring to. “Don’t you want to be a prince?”“No.” He gave me a sultry look. “I’d rather be a butler.”Tingle. Oh, he was hot. The perfect Derek Bourbon. Definitely
I tried to hide my smirk. Pretty sure I failed. Exchanging looks with Caspian, I shrugged. No reason not to tell the mara what the imps had been up to. “They tried to make him think he was insane.”“What?” She frowned, still sniffling a bit. Her eyes bounced between us in confusion.“Yeah.” I raised my eyebrows playfully then told her the story as I know it. Lena’s eyes got huge as I described seeing their tornado in the reflection of the glass. Then she snorted.“Yep. That sounds like imps.” She shook her head as she sipped on her smoothie. “At least they weren’t starting a sex cult this time.”The maras snickered. I shook my head. Looking softly at Lena, I put my hand on her shoulder. “Are you sure you’re pregnant? Kerrigan is convinced I am too. Despite the test saying otherwise.”Lena shook her head. “Kensington said I was. I just took them at their word. They are never wrong.”Her and Caspian exchanged looks. I suspected it was about me. Again, I rubbed my rounded belly. “Not a d
