“Omigod,yesss.”
I advance my fingers deeper, my fingertips grazing the string of her IUD, and I’m reminded of what Cat told me about leaving it alone and everything would be fine. But if I pull the string, the birth control device could come out. And Emma Lia could becomepregnant.
Apregnancy.
A baby.Ourbaby.
I’d have her. And when she pulls the working key, it won’t matter. She wouldn’t leave me if we were having ababy.
She. Wouldn’t. Leave.Me.
But she would be furious when she figured out that I was responsible. She might hate me for making that kind of choice without her.Ifshe foundout.
The consequences of my decision would be a life-altering change for both of us. Would I consider doing something so extreme? Create an innocent life to be used as a pawn for holding onto the woman that I’m obsessed with? I realize how demented it is, even for a ruthless bastard likeme.
But I always get what I want. And I’m not ruling anything out at thispoint.
