DANCE WITH THE DEVIL

Part 48 - Should I let him mark me?

Porsche's POV

I lay in bed, wrapped entirely in the blanket. I felt suffocated. Kinn disappeared? Or had he left me? This pregnancy scares me. What if I'm alone again? How will I manage with the kids? This time, it will be two—I barely managed to raise one. I'm scared. I don't know what to do.

The door opened, and I looked up in anticipation.

"Hey, why are you up so early?" Kinn said, holding a bag of snacks in his hand. "Porsche! What happened? Why are you crying?!"

"Nothing," I wiped away my tears out of embarrassment. This is so humiliating. I made up a whole story without realizing I was overreacting—Kinn had only been gone for maybe an hour.

"I thought something happened to you... or that you left me," I said, my voice choked with tears.

"Why would I leave you?" Kinn asked.

I noticed the bandage on his neck. "What happened? I didn't bite you that hard."

"I planned for this to be a surprise, but look," Kinn removed the bandage and showed me a new tattoo. "What do you think?"

"You got a tattoo of my teeth?" I was confused.

"A mark. You wished you could mark me, so here—I'm yours."

My eyes filled with tears again. I never thought Kinn would do something like this for me.

"Since when did you become so sentimental?"

"I'm not sentimental! It's the hormones!" I wiped my tears and finally felt like I could breathe. But then, a sudden wave of anger hit me. I punched Kinn in the face with all my strength.

"Ahhh! Why did you do that?!"

"I felt like I needed to calm down."

"Porsche..."

"What? You want to hit me back!?"

"I'll wait until after the pregnancy," Kinn said with a smile.

"Oh, so just because I'm pregnant, you won't hit me?"

"Who said I was planning to hit you?" Kinn smirked at me.

"Then what are you planning to do to me?"

"Fuck you hard."

"Why are you so vulgar?!"

"Because now I have to wait to have sex with you again," Kinn complained.

"Is sex the only thing on your mind?" I accused.

"No, but when it comes to you..."

"Pervert..." I whispered.

"Well, since you're already awake, how about we go on that hiking trail I planned?"

"Hiking trail?"

"It's an easy one. I chose the family-friendly route so that it won't be too hard on you," Kinn explained, pulling out a brochure.

"This looks nice." Fuck...

"Do you think it will be too difficult for you?" Kinn asked with concern and care.

"No, I'm looking forward to it." The truth was, I didn't want to go—I was feeling nauseous. But what else could I say to him?

"Great! I already packed our bags," Kinn said excitedly.
