“Unfortunately me and Seth felt it too.”
Colin bugged his eyes. “Toward each other?”
“It’s not much fun on your own.” I scowled.
“You and Seth had sex?” Riley snorted. “You’ve only known each other like three days or something.”
“Excuse me?” Colin cocked one brow. “You and I had sex the first night we met.”
Riley grinned. “Oh, yeah. I hit on you, and you were more than willing.”
“Well, you were the famous rock star Riley West.”
“True. I think I still am.”
Colin smiled and then turned to me. “So, did it go well with Seth?”
I shivered at the memory of just how well it had gone. “Oh, yes. A little too well.”
“How can sex go too well?” Riley scratched his head.
I exhaled roughly. “We got carried away.” My face felt like it was on fire. “If you get my meaning.”
“Shit.” Colin narrowed his gaze. “You mean you didn’t use protection?”
I winced. “Nope.” I swallowed, feeling queasy. “The condoms were right there, and we both ignored them.”
Colin blew out a shaky breath. “That’s how it is when your instinct has you in its grip.”
Riley nodded. “Yeah. I remember.”
I rubbed my face. “This is humiliating to admit, but I almost felt like I wanted to get pregnant. Now, in the light of day that seems insane. But at the time… it felt normal.”
Riley frowned. “And of course, Seth has no idea that you’re a solar eclipse omega.” It wasn’t a question. “He has no idea that pregnancy is even a possibility.”
“No. Of course he wouldn’t even suspect I could get pregnant.”
“Well, maybe you dodged a bullet.” Colin grimaced. “How do you feel?”
I groaned and looked to the ceiling. “Like I’m pregnant.”
“What?” Colin’s face tensed. “Shit. Really?”
“I know the signs.” I winced. “It’s happened before. Remember?”
Colin blinked slowly. “How could I forget?”
“You’ve been pregnant before?” Riley asked quietly.
I nodded. “Yes. When I was being held by Baxter.” I shivered remembering those gut-wrenching times. “A few of the alphas forced themselves on me without protection. Because my kind are so damn fertile, I got pregnant four times over the years.” I clenched my jaw, trying to keep the flood of painful memories from coming at me. “But Baxter made sure I never got very far in the pregnancies,” I said bitterly. “He gave me mifepristone and misoprostol in large doses each time to force me to abort.”
“Jesus.” Riley looked horrified. “What a bastard.”
“It almost killed me each time.” I shivered. “I don’t think he’d have cared either way. I know I would have rather died.”
Colin grimaced. “Don’t say that.”
My mouth was a grim line. “Sorry. But I mean it.”
