    “Great.” He looked up at her and she was smiling at him.
    “So how about we go out for a few drinks?” Melissa tucked a piece of her red hair behind her ears.
    He tasted sexual energy radiating off of her and knew she would have made a perfect feeding, but his mind took him back to Jennifer. She was going to have his baby. He didn’t know if she should be happy or terrified that she was carrying his baby. He wouldn’t let his heart open for Jennifer, not for a human. “I already have plans for tonight.” He needed to call Max, and get him to check on Jennifer.
    She looked disappointed as she nodded. “Of course you do.”
    He pulled out his phone to text Max.
    Jennifer works for me, and she is pregnant.

    I need you to meet me at my house. I want you to check her. Phoenix wanted to know if she would be okay. He wouldn’t be able to live with himself if he were the reason for her pain.
    Yeah , you know I have your back.
    Thanks Max. He put his phone back into his jacket pocket then he looked back at Melissa, and grinned. “I'm sorry about that. Let's go over the marketing plan.” He motioned for her to sit in the chair across from him.

    Jennifer looked at the time and it was almost time to leave. Melissa had been in Phoenix's office for four hours. She wanted to barge in there and tell Melissa to leave him alone, that he was hers. She reached for her purse and started gathering her things. She wasn't going to wait for him; she was tired and didn’t feel good. She stood up and started to walk away until she heard a door open and a woman’s laughter.
    “Phoenix, you must let me tak e you to dinner.” Jennifer wanted to run out of the office and go home. But she felt Phoenix's eyes on her back. Slowly she turned around and smiled at Phoenix and Melissa.
    “I won't have time for tha t. But thank you.” Melissa took a white card and put it in his shirt pocket.
    “Here is my number if you change you r mind.” She patted his chest and he smiled. Jennifer wanted to rip her arm off.
    “Thank you , Melissa.”
    “See you later.” Melissa turned around and her smile faltered when she saw Jennifer waiting. She just glared at Jennifer as she walked by, but this time she didn't bump into her.

    “Sorry, I will tone it down. And the doctor is a demon, not a witch.” She couldn't stop herself from laughing. “And I would like it if you’d ride with me.”
    Jennifer frowned at Phoenix. “What about my car?”
    “I can send someone to brin g it to my house.” Phoenix walked in front of her and grabbed her hand.
    This shocked her; he told her that he kept his personal life personal. She tried to take her hand back, there were some people left in the office and they were staring at them. “I thought you keep your personal life personal.”
    He squeezed her hand. “That changed when you became important to me.”
