His nose grazed the shell of my ear, and his warm breath made me shudder. “All the more reason to decompress, is it not?”
“Wow, you got super horny once you finally admitted your feelings for me,” I teased. “It’s actually kind of funny.”
A low, playful growl built in Adriel’s throat. “If you don’t want tofuck, then I’m fine with going back to sleep.”
The way he stressed that word made my heart flip. “I do! Well, maybe not actual penetrative fucking, since I don’t have another condom, and I’m not sure if those suppressants actually kicked in, but…”
Adriel paused. “They haven’t? But your heat ended a while ago, did it not?”
“Yeah,” I admitted. “That’s what’s weird about it. Usually it lasts at least a week. Ididtake those suppressants, though, but they usually take a few days to kick in. My heat ended almost… too fast.”
A brief flash of panic flitted across Adriel’s expression before he returned to normal. “I’m sure it was the medication.” He touched my arm and squeezed it. “In any case, we did use a condom during penetrative sex. You have nothing to worry about.”
“You’re right,” I said, then chuckled. “It’d be kind of crazy if both Benji and I got pregnant with half-vampire kids at the same time.”
Adriel quirked a brow. “It’s a bit too early in our relationship to think about that.”
“I know. I was just joking.” With a yawn, I slipped back down onto the pillow and nestled against Adriel. “I’m gonna try to get some more sleep before my shift.”
“All right,” Adriel said. He gave me a kiss on the cheek and murmured, “Goodnight, Caleb.”
“Night…”
I tossed and turned until I was comfortable. But although my body wanted desperately to fall back asleep, my mind was racing. A seed of doubt had been planted and it was all I could think about.
It shouldn’t have been possible, but...
What if Iwaspregnant?
