"What about Phoebe? She's pregnant, and you're friends with her. Maybe she'll keep her mouth shut?" Hardin shrugs, and I just look at him with a dead expression.
"She's too gentle, no way." I shake my head.
The hope in his eyes begins to dim, and he tosses the list aside with a loud growl of frustration.
"There's no one else." He snaps, glaring at the wall. Despite his anger, I could see the worry that Roman is going to end us all.
We can't ask another pack, it would never work. Which leaves me with only one choice, and while it's not something I'm sure I want, I'm not completely against it.
Rising to my feet, I grab the hem of my t-shirt and lift it up and over my head, tossing it aside. Hardin's eyes snap to my bare flesh faster than lightening, growing dark with hunger.
"What are you doing?" Hardin breathes, more tense than I've ever seen him.
"I'm not leaving you, and I won't watch you die." I tell him firmly, grabbing my cotton shorts and pushing them down my legs, stepping out of them.
"Kali-"
"It's ok, Hardin." I whisper, gently pushing his shoulders until he's leaning against the back of the couch.
Straddling his muscular thighs in only my panties, I run my hands down his chest as I lean in and kiss him. No matter how odd it feels, and how much I wish this could be on our terms, it's the only option.
The roughness of his fingers on my soft skin makes me shudder, it's a feeling that I've missed. His hands on me.
Faster than I can blink, Hardin tosses me onto the couch, flipping me onto my back and settling his body between my thighs. His lips graze my stomach, his tongue igniting a fire that I'd let burn out long ago. I feel like I'm floating, and he hasn't even removed my panties yet.
I stare down at him with anticipation, my chest rising and falling slowly as my heart pounds. His searing red eyes meet mine as he reaches the band of my lace panties. I feel my stomach tighten with anticipation.
Even still, I see his hesitance. So I reach down and do it for him, knowing he feels guilty because I made it clear this wasn't going to happen for a long time.
Hardin drags the panties down my legs, tossing them aside. His hands tease the inside of my thighs, rough skin scratching me slightly, goosebumps cover my body.
"Do it." I whisper, wanting it, needing it.
One hand rests on my flat stomach in some attempt to keep me still as I wriggle impatiently, gasping quietly as his tongue finally meets its destination.
"I'M PREGNANT!" A familiar voice screams as the door opens.
Hardin and I both shout out in shock as the intrusion, his body instantly diving to cover my nude one as a familiar smiling face comes into view.
"Uh...well, this is awkward. Should I wait outside?" Winter clears her throat, blushing ten shades of scarlet as she stares.
"Out." Hardin growls at her, burying his head into my shoulder with a scowl.
Winter instantly turns and leaves, the second the door closes I groan in embarrassment.
"That was humiliating." I complain.
He gets up and hands me my panties, along with my t-shirt and shorts. We didn't talk, I feel as awkward as he looks right now. Are we ready for what was just about to happen?
"Did you hear what she said?" Hardin asks me, this look on his face that wasn't there before.
"Yeah, she's pregnant." I frown, not seeing the big deal. Until it clicks about half a second later, and my eyes widen.
