“What’s up?”CJ whispers, and I realize she must be in a class.
“Do you know that Malice Sinclair is actively trying to knock up our baby sister?”Aura shouts at CJ, making her wince from the high pitch in her air pods.
“You’re surprised?”Our oldest sister half-laughs.
“She might be now.”Aura lowers her tone.
CJ’s gaze flicks from us to the front of the class and back before reiterating, “You’re surprised?Since O turned eighteen, he’s had his eyes on her body.At sixteen, he knew she would be his.The fact he waited so long to claim her is the shocking part.”
I roll my eyes at them both and decide to spill what Malice said on our first night together.“He doesn’t want any kind of birth control the first ten years.He wants to knock me up as much as possible before we both get snipped.”Time seems to stand still as they stare at me.
I’ve flabbergasted them.
“And do you want that?”CJ finally finds her voice.
I chew on my lip.“I don’t want to go to college; I want to be part of the family.”The weight of my words isn’t lost on either of them.They know exactly what that means.“Daddy is handing over control to Malice and Holy.”Which means one of them has to marry one of us.
“So Daddy planned for this, then,” Aura scowls.The two of them are so much alike, they always butt heads.“Typical of him.”CJ and I know better than to defend him to her, mostly because she rationalizes his unfavorable behavior that she doesn’t like and, eventually, understands his choices.Even if it takes her a while to get there.
“I don’t think Odette minds one bit,” CJ snickers.I can’t hide my grin.
“Don’t you want to do something else before you start popping out little Sinclairs, though?”Aura asks, her joking mood abated.
From the corner of my eye, I notice my bedroom door slowly open, and Malice walks in with an armful of things, but I don’t give on that I know he’s here.“Sure, but if I’m honest, when I see the world, I’d like to have my children with me so they can do it at the same time.”
“Is Malice even dad material?He’s so violent,” Aura says, and I get angry.
“You don’t see the same man that I do.Just like Daddy and Uncle Jermaine, he has to be harder to the people on the outside than he does to me.He’s passionate and possessive, and he loves fiercely.If he protects those things with some violence without hurting those he loves or innocent lives, then who cares?Our dad and his do the exact same thing, only a little more discreetly, and it's usually Malice and Holy delivering the punishment on their behalf.”I jump slightly when the blanket gets ripped off my body.
“Little rabbit.”Malice kisses up my leg while gripping my hips and turning my body so I’m flat on my back and starts massaging my stomach.
“He’s there,” CJ snickers.
“And he comes bearing gifts,” I grin.“Heating pads, chocolate, and salty snacks.”
“Tell him to take it easy on you, you could still be pregnant!”Aura shouts the last part so he hears.When he freezes and our eyes meet, I bite my lip.
His head drops into my stomach, and his breathing turns rapid and harsh as his hands squeeze along my sides.“I think you broke him, Aura.”CJ sticks her tongue out.
“Did not!Should have kept his pecker in his pants if he didn’t want to knock her up,” Aura defends.
“I fucking want her pregnant,” he bites back.“But not in fucking pain.”
My sisters share a look.“He knows labor is painful, right?”CJ raises a brow.
“And like pregnancy isn’t exactly a walk in the park either,” Aura adds.
“I’ll talk to you guys later.Love you.”I hang up before either can respond.My text messages immediately start pinging with more helpful and tormenting tidbits to tease this man with.Shutting off my phone, I toss it on the floor and run my fingers through Malice’s hair as he kisses my belly.“I’m fine,” I tell him.“And I’m likely not even pregnant.They were just being assholes.”
Crawling up my body, he lets his weight hold me down.“I want you to be, but I don’t like being the reason behind you being in pain.Is that what this is?Why you feel sick?Or is it just your period?”I shrug because I don’t have a clue.“I’ll buy a bunch of tests.”Shaking my head at his offer, I know he’ll do whatever he chooses, and I think it’s adorable he’s so concerned about me.
“I have to go out for a few hours with Holy.Your dad wants everyone down for a family dinner tonight.”I raise a brow at that.It’s not often we have so many family dinners in the same week.“Sleep first; the heating pad should help some.”He sounds uncertain, and it’s so damn cute.He doesn’t move until I nod.
Once he’s got the pad on my stomach and another on my back, I’m wrapped up in my blanket as he turns off the light and closes the blinds before coming back to kiss me lightly on the forehead.“I’ll come get you later.”I nod while yawning, and my eyes drift shut before he’s left the room.
