thought so. We need to take care of it,” he said and pulled out his checkbook.
Her eyes widen ed. “No!” She jumped out of her chair, and Phoenix's head snapped up. “I don't want to take care of it. I am keeping this baby and I don't need you. I will manage on my own.” Her head felt light so she held onto the chair for support.
“Jennifer , I don’t think that is wise.” He stared at her. Then he looked down at her abdomen.
Now she was getting mad. “I don't care what you think is wise. This is my baby, and it is my body.” Her heart felt like it might explode.
“There is something you should know about our baby.” He stood up and walked over to her. “There is something you need to know about me.” His large hand covered her abdomen, she looked down. His other hand cradled her face, and she looked back up at him. “I am an incubus.”
“What?” She was stunned, did he think she was that gullible?
“I am an incubus, I seduce women to have sex with me and I can enter dreams if I want. I feed off of the sexual energy during sex. Our baby is either another incubus or a succubus.” She moved away from him. She was carrying a demon spawn.
“Do you expect me to believe you?” She put her hands on her hips.
“Tell me, have you been having very de tailed dreams about us?” She blushed. “I'll take that as a yes, that was my power reaching out to you.” He frowned. “I don't know why it's so drawn to you.” He moved to her again and smiled down at her. “Even now, I want to take you into my arms and do things to you. I want to see your blush cover your entire body.”
Jennifer stared into his midnight blue eyes, and the light blue ring around his pupils. “You're really an incubus?” He nodded. “What will happen to our baby?”
Phoenix looked down and touched her abdomen again. “Are you sure you want to keep a demon spawn?” She gasped, and wondered if he read her mind.
“I want to keep it no matter what . It's mine.” She moved his hand and placed her hands protectively over her abdomen.
“Then there are things you need to know. Our child will need me. I will have to show it how to feed without killing. But we don't have to worry about that until it is a te enager.” Her heart jumped when he said, 'our child.'
“Our child?” She asked and looked up into his midnight blue eyes.
A slow smile appeared on his beautiful face. “Yes, ours.” She searched his eyes and what she saw shocked her. He truly cared. There was a loud knock at the door and it made her jump. “We'll talk later.” He kissed her forehead, and electricity ran through her body. She looked up to see if he felt it and he smiled. “I will tell you whatever you want to know later, I promise.”
“I'll be at my desk.” She walked to the door and opened it to find a beautiful red head with piercing dark green eyes.
“You must be the new temp.” She smiled.
Jennifer shook her head. “No ma'am, I’m not a temp.”
The red head ’s smile grew wider. “We'll see.” She looked past Jennifer to Phoenix and her face lit up. “Hello Phoenix.” She purred and Jennifer felt like she was going to throw up…again.
“Hello Melissa.” She bumped into Jennifer’s shoulder as she passed and she looked over her shoulder to watch Phoenix glaring at Melissa. “Ms. Cruz, please close the door behind you.” Jennifer nodded but didn’t miss Melissa’s self-satisfied look that was plastered on her face.
She closed the door and walked to her desk. She had no claim on Phoenix, so why was she feeling so jealous?
***
Phoenix knew that Melissa had a thing for him, and he had thought about feeding on her. She was beautiful; with her deep red hair and dark green eyes; but he had a rule not to mix business with his pleasure. And now there is Jennifer. Melissa smiled her perfect white smile and walked towards him.
“Melissa , what can I do for you?” She was in charge of his marketing department.
“Just wanted to
