Every time he brings his erection deeper into me, a new surge of pleasure hits me. I can feel myself getting close.
“Nico, I need you.”
“You got me, baby. You got me.”
His words send me over the edge. I gasp, my hips jerking up to meet his as I tremble and shake. Nico holds me, burying his head into my neck as his orgasm hits him.
We remain in each other’s arms for a long time.
Nico kisses along my neck. “You know, if we keep this up, you’ll be pregnant.”
I tense. I’ve been so distracted with having to kill Nico, Beatrice judging me, and the police breathing down my neck, that I forgot all about that.
Nico and I haven’t used protection. It only takes one time to get pregnant.
And if I end up pregnant, then … what? I’ll be tied to Nico forever, and then I definitely won’t be able to do what I have to do.
Nico smiles down at me, clearly happy at the idea of me getting pregnant. The sight of his happiness almost breaks my heart.
I force myself to smile back, and then I kiss him so he doesn’t detect my panic.
I could be pregnant.
I don’t know what to do about that.
Chapter
Twelve
AURORA
Nico’s words don’t stop ringing through my ears.
I could be pregnant. But I don’t want to be. Not any time soon, anyway, seeing as my relationship with Nico is complicated.
I go to Beatrice for answers. “What am I going to do?”
She thinks on it for a while before she nods. “I can get you Plan B. But it might not work now. There’s also this tea remedy that’s been in my family for years. I could make it for you. If you’re pregnant, it will help.”
The next time I return to see Beatrice, she has the Plan B for me. I pop the pill and then go home.
Over the next few weeks, I make a point of keeping my distance from Nico. If we’re not having sex, then I can’t get pregnant. My period comes in like normal, filling me with relief. I’m not pregnant.
Yet, anyway.
But I can tell I can’t keep pushing Nico away forever.
One day, he asks me about it. “You’ve been distant lately. I seem to remember you asking me not to put space between us.”
“Oh. I … I’ve just been distracted thinking about the police. I want you to be ok.”
Nico smiles warmly, cupping my cheek. “I’ll always be ok. I’m Nico Mancini.”
He drops the conversation after that, but I can tell he has more questions. Every time he reaches for me, I pull away. It’s not what I want to do. If I had my way, we’d be making love every night. Nico’s touch is addicting. It’s driving me crazy to stay away.
I just can’t get pregnant. It would complicate everything.
Everything is simple until Nico returns home one night, looking rattled, covered in sweat.
