“You don’t have to say it,” she mumbled.
“What were we thinking?”Dumb question, he told himself.
He knew exactly what had happened.For the first time in years, he had let his body make his choice for him.
“I don’t know about you, but I can’t for certain that I was,” she said, scooting closer to him.
He ran the palm of his hand down her back, trying to figure out how he should say what he needed to tell her.
"Bailey, we need to discuss what to do next...”
“About what?”she asked as she propped herself up on one elbow.
He reached up and rubbed the back of his neck.“We didn't use any protection, Bailey.”
Chapter 7
Was the entire earth-shaking?Or was it just her?
Unexpectedly sick to her stomach, Bailey blinked frantically, trying to clear her vision.It wasn't working.
She slapped one hand to her forehead and looked at him through wide eyes.Protection.Birth control.Oh no.This kind of fiasco only happened in awful movies.How could they have overlooked something so basic?Because she conceded wordlessly, they had been too preoccupied with something far more basic.
“Oh, God.”
Flopping back onto the bed, she buried her face in her hands.
He exhaled heavily.“As far as one concern goes,” he said in an anxious tone, “I can tell you that I'm clean.”
Bailey wanted to crawl under the bed and hide.How could she have been so dumb?
She had even thought about that and she should have considering everything that was out there.
“So am I,” she whispered when she realized he’d stopped pacing to look at her inquisitively.Did he think she wouldn’t be?At twenty-six, she’d had exactly three lovers.Including Duke.With that being the case it was no surprise she’d committed such a blunder.She didn’t have enough experience to handle a man like Duke.
She muffled a groan and tried to quell her racing thoughts so she could focus on what he was saying.
