“You knew she was about to give birth? Well, it’s happening.”
Raven pursed her lips together. She wasn’t sure what this conversation was about.Did he get some woman preggers?She figured what else should she expect. This is an affair, no strings attached. They were meant to be single.He said he was single. A lot of questions demanding answers flooded her mind.
“Calm down, mate. I’ll be there in a minute.” Ben sat up and grabbed the phone.
“You better. Why you bought an alpaca that was so close to giving birth to the Show, I don’t know.”
“Is she doing all right? Any complications?”
“No. But you get down here right now.”
“I will. I’m leaving now. I’ll be there in five minutes.”
Ben reached up and took the phone, hitting call end. “Fuck it. Sorry, I’m going to have to go.”
“I got that bit, the rest I’m a bit confused over.”
“One of my female alpacas is about to have a baby at the show.”
“Okay. Why did you bring her?”
“She had a good chance of winning a prize, and she did. It’s something I can use for advertising.” Ben got off the bed and picked up one of his work boots. “I have to hurry.”
Raven nodded, not that this was making a whole lot of sense, but she was getting the gist. She pulled up her panties and jeans. Playtime was over.
She watched him fumble trying to quickly put on his work boots. Something dawned on her. She’d had a few pets over the years, but one thing she thought he should do was to call a vet. “Aren’t you going to call a vet?”
“Hopefully, not.”
“Umm, so you’ll do the delivery?”
“Evie will.”
“Evie?”
“That’s her name. She’ll do it all herself and save me the expense of a vet bill.”
Ben walked over to the bed. “Stay for as long as you’d like.” He leaned forward and kissed her. “I hope to pick up where we left off tonight.”
A flush of heat went through Raven as she had a mental thought of what they would do tonight. “Sounds good.” She wanted to add she couldn’t wait that long, but she could tell he was anxious to get going.
“It will be more than good.” He kissed her on the cheek. “I’ll promise you that.” He winked before turning away and walking to the door.
“Bye,” Raven called out.
“Bye.”
The door clicked closed.
Raven let herself fall back on the bed with a sigh. She glanced at the bedside clock.Too early. It was almost seven o’clock. She couldn’t believe she’d woken up so early, but then it was a good outcome, especially after missing out on some sexual fun last night. She rolled her lips, and they tingled pleasantly. Not for the first time did she realize in so many days that this was the sort of kiss that spoke more than just lust.
“Housekeeping.”
Raven stirred.
“Hello?”
The sense of someone else in the room forced Raven awake.
