His tail was caressing her leg now, rubbing her softly and when her gaze fell, she was greeted with something else.
She could see his hardness pressing through his trousers.
“You don’t look fine.”
He eased up off the bed then and took a shuddering breath.
“I should go before I…”
What?
Confusion made her brow knit and the euphoria she’d just experienced began to fade.
“Before what?”
He glanced back at her and she could see his throat move.
“Before I do something you’ll regret.”
His words puzzled her.
“Something I’ll regret?”
She fought to understand and then the most logical meaning came to her.
Pregnancy.
“Oh, we don’t have to worry about…like…a baby or anything. I can’t get pregnant.”
His eyes widened so much, she was momentarily silenced.
“You what?”
“I mean, I have the coil.” He only looked confused now. “An IUD…it stops me from getting pregnant.”
There were so many emotions in his eyes now, it was hard to pinpoint just one.
“I got it about two years before I was taken and they’re supposed to last a while. It hasn’t fallen out so I’m fine.”
He was still looking at her strangely.
“Isn’t that why…why you don’t want to…”
For a few moments, he said nothing, and then his head bowed. “You think I’m afraid of seeding you with my kin.” He said it as if it was a realization to him and his voice was so low, she had to strain to hear.
“Well…” She didn’t really know what to say. “Isn’t that why?”
“No.” His voice was hoarse and when his gaze met hers once more, the sadness in his gaze was so palpable, it was shocking.
“You got this coil because you do not want chids?”
Nia shook her head.
This wasn’t the type of conversation she’d been expecting to have at the moment.
“No. I want kids, in the future some time. Just not right now.”
She saw something die in his eyes even as he licked his lips. It was as if he was fighting a mental battle before her.
