Chapter 9

Penny had to convince Kadin to allow her a few extra days to wrap some things up at work before leaving for Rock Springs. She’d met with her skittish boss, who’d kept eyeing Kadin warily. Kadin refused to allow her to go anywhere without him now. It was a huge imposition. And then...not. She smiled over the many exchanges they’d had, most of them silent yearning to find a bed.

She’d assured Mark that she’d work remotely and now, packed and ready to spend some time in Wyoming, she stared out the window of Kadin’s Charger as they sped down Interstate 80 toward the Wyoming border. She hadn’t felt good all morning. The breakfast Kadin had prepared had made her sick to her stomach. She’d tried to swallow a few bites and then had gone running to the refrigerator for a carbonated soda.

“Are you all right?” he asked from the driver’s seat.

“I feel like I’m going to throw up.” Had the strike to her head done that? She put her hand to her head. “Will you stop so that I can get something for my stomach?”

“Sure.”

The exit for Coalville came up a few minutes later. By then, Penny had to keep swallowing and taking deep breaths. She was really going to be sick.

Kadin parked in front of a small gas station and she got out and walked quickly inside. Rushing to the back, she found the bathroom. Inside the stall, she barely made it over the toilet before she lost what little she had in her. When she finished, she sat against the stall partition, trembling, pale and weak.

“What the hell?” she asked herself.

Flashes of Kadin sliding into her wet, eager flesh inundated her senses. She, arching as she came, an incredible explosion of pleasure while he continued to move inside her.

She hadn’t had her period yet.

Penny sat forward, staring at the opposite wall in shock. How late was she? A week. No...two weeks.

“Oh, baby Jesus.”

Baby.

No. She couldn’t be pregnant.

Her? She wasn’t going to have any kids. She didn’t want any kids. She wasn’t ready for a kid.

But neither she nor Kadin had taken any precautions. Penny usually made sure either she or the man used protection.

She recalled how she’d felt sick at Jax’s house and covered her mouth with her hand. No. No. No. She could not be pregnant.

Penny cupped her breasts. They’d been a little sore. She’d thought that was her period approaching. Yeah, but she’d never thrown up before a period. First time for that.

Penny climbed to her feet, picturing Kadin sitting out in his car, completely oblivious to her realization. He’d had a daughter. Still mourned his daughter. He’d had a wife. Still mourned his wife. He wasn’t ready for this any more than her. No, he was even less ready than her. He’d freak out if she told him.

Wasn’t she freaking out right now? Penny stopped from opening the bathroom door. She had to get a hold of herself before she faced him. Daddy.
