times, but she told me she was on the birth control shot so we didn’t use any the last four or five times. Unless by some miracle the shot she got stopped being effective—Fuck. That means either she lied to me—which she never does—or she slept with someone else after her shot was ineffective, making the baby someone else’s. The thought has my jaw clenching. Fuck.
No one should touch her but me and I’ll kill the son of a bitch who didn’t take care of her like he should have. The only one I can think of that she’s even been close to, other than me, has been Ben.
I clench my fist. Ben Kingston. I see the way they are together. The flirting and touching—the damn touching. When he pulled her flush against his body outside the diner that day on the tour, I wanted to punch him in the face—or shoot him. Damian held me back from doing either one.
It’s almost time to wake her up to get ready to go to work. She’s got another half hour but she’s restless. She whispers my name, so softly and full of emotion it touches me deep inside.
"You’re alright, Fee. I’ve got you. I’ve got you."
I guess we’ll find out one way or the other this afternoon. I just want my girl to get better. No matter what it takes.

I ’M PUTTING THE FINISHING touches on my makeup and when I turn around, Cage is lounging against the doorjamb again, watching me.
"What?" I ask.
"Nothing," he replies with a shake of his head. He walks into the room and reaches into his cabinet for his cologne as I’m walking out of the room. I gather my things and put them into my purse, taking a couple Tylenol to help with the twinge in my side. My mouth goes dry when Cage exits the bathroom in his charcoal gray suit, the smell of pine and Cage surrounding me. Holy hell. My libido leaps to life and within seconds I’m all but panting. So not good.
"Cage?" I ask, watching him check his phone.
"Hmm?" he asks absentmindedly.
"What type of cologne is that?" I want to know—I need to know what the name of the scent is that’s nearly driving me to my knees, sending moisture between my thighs, and has me a hairs-breadth away from jumping Cage as he innocently checks his messages.
He rattles off a name and looks at me with a raised brow. "Why?"
"Oh, no reason." Lies. All lies. There’s a very big reason. A reason that has me inching closer to him and inhaling discretely—at least I hope it’s discretely.
Oh God. I can’t handle it. Pregnancy hormones are making me horny and I can’t seem to get a grip.
"Are you alright, Fee?"
"Uh-huh," I respond, biting back the moan as I squeeze my thighs together. What a day to be wearing a mini skirt.
"You’re looking a little flushed," Cage says worriedly.
"Uh..." I can’t form a coherent sentence while he looks at me like that. He’s studying me so closely, his eyes focused on me, and I can’t look away even though I know I should, because soon, very soon, he’s going to realize—
A brow lifts and his mouth kicks up in a half smile.
—realize that I’m aroused and want him so badly I can’t breathe.
"Sera." His eyes darken when I lick my lips.
I raise my own brow.
"What’s going on?" he asks.
I shrug. Truthfully, I don’t know. I’m like someone possessed and in need of an orgasm—stat! For real, I need to come. I can feel myself hovering on the brink and if I don’t get a release before we get to the studio, I’m going to be the bitchiest person on the planet. I should go to the bathroom and masturbate, just relieve this ache, and then we can be on our way.
"No."
"What?"
"No," he says, following my gaze to the bathroom.
"You don’t know what you’re doing, Cage."
"I’ve got a pretty good idea," he says seriously.
I study him for a few more seconds, teetering between safe and dangerous. Who’s
