Another half hour had passed before she came out. Knowing she wouldn’t want an audience to hear our news, I waited until we got outside to ask, “So, what’s up?”
She took out her cell. “I’ve got a virus. I’m calling a cab to come get us.”
A virus?
“What kind of virus?” I couldn’t believe she wasn’t telling me news she knew I’d be ecstatic over. “And what kind of virus lasts a month long?”
“A pretty bad one.” She held up her finger at me as she told the cab company where to pick us up at.
Pinching the bridge of my nose, I fought myself not to confront her.
What was she thinking?
Okay, I got it. She didn’t want me to ask her to marry me just because we got ourselves preggo. I understood that. But I deserved to know about the baby.
Didn’t I?
We both were quiet. The cab came, picked us up, took us to the hotel. Still, we were quiet. We went up to our room, got undressed, got into bed. Still, we were quiet.
I rolled over to look at her. “I love you, Asia.”
She closed her eyes as she lay on her back. “I love you too, Jett.”
But did she really?
How could she say those words to me?
She wouldn’t admit to being pregnant. So how in the hell could she say she loved me?
Unless she didn’t.
Maybe it had all been an act after all.
Lifting my head, resting it on my hand, I said, “The contract is over, Asia. The wedding is over. That was the last function I needed a fake wife for and the last day of the Dom/sub contract. Being that it’s midnight, you’re officially released as my sub. You can do as you want to now.”
She didn’t even bother opening her eyes. “All I really want to do is sleep, Jett.”
All I really wanted was to hear her tell me about our baby!
“So what did they give you for this virus you have?”
“Some pills.”
“Where are these pills?”
“I have to go pick them up at the pharmacy tomorrow.” She finally opened her eyes to look at me as I hovered over her. “What are you doing?”
“Asia, are you realizing that you’re rich now? You have a home of your own. A new car. And the money that I put in Escrow at The Dungeon of Decorum will be transferred to your bank tomorrow morning.” I watched her eyes as they darted back and forth.
“Wow. You’re right. I am a rich girl now.”
“If you were giving me what I wanted just because you were my sub, you can be honest with me now. You’re no longer my sub, Asia.”
Her eyes went wide as she rolled out of bed and hauled ass to the bathroom, slamming the door behind her.
I was left without an answer. But I had a gut feeling it was going to be one that just might break my heart.
It hit me hard that Asia might not be telling me about the baby because she was thinking about getting rid of it.
