After this distressing meeting, she followed Ethan to one of the empty rooms in the west wing, because Beon wouldn’t even let them go to Ethan’s old room. There they were allowed to spend their last day together as mortal husband and wife.

Sophia had ordered out and cooked up what she could on short notice. Danielle perceived she was eager to give Ethan the chance to enjoy as many of his favorite foods before he couldn’t eat like that anymore.

She watched as Ethan, almost reverently devoured the lunch of sushi, tea, chocolate cake and pizza.

Danielle could only stomach the tea and cake.

“I know you can’t have the sushi right now, but you need to eat better than that if our baby is going to grow.”

“I’ve lost my appetite.” She looked around the nicely furnished room, and her eyes landed on the door to the private bathroom. Rising from the chair she was seated in, she made for it.

Ethan, who was becoming a bit too overprotective, asked, “Are you sick? Please tell me you’re not.”

“I’m not,” she said over her shoulder, “I just want to take the shower I couldn’t take this morning.”

Snatching up another slice of pizza Ethan followed. “I’ll join you,” he said, his tone suddenly excited as he nipped off the pointed end of the pizza slice first.

“While you eat?” she asked, stepping into the bathroom and tugging off her boots.

“I’ll be done with this before you’re naked.” He then chomped off three more bites and kicked off his shoes.

Ethan had finished before she’d gotten her panties off, and then joined her under the spray of hot water. Snuggling against his slick chest, she frowned. “How will your being turned affect this part of our married life?”

“We can still be close like this.” He looked down at her with his gaze shifting to his hand while he touched her hair as it became saturated with water. “Still make love … just not at night when the curse surrounds me.” Worried blue eyes returned to hers.

She groaned. “I hate mornings.”

“Dusk?”

“I don’t want to feel rushed…” The sting of tears returned. These darn hormones!

Ethan pushed the tears away with wet thumbs. “I have to do this. How else can I keep my wife and baby safe?” Ethan stroked one hand over her still flat stomach. When he spoke this tenderly about their child, it lulled her worries about being pregnant so soon in their marriage.

Ethan kissed her cheek and continued, “Beon was right about that. I’m too weak as a mortal.”

“Do you regret it?” She still wondered about this, even though he continued to deny it. Giving up such amazing strength had to have been difficult for any man.

“We’ve been over this. We couldn’t have ever conceived this baby if I were still a vampire. And food … I can still taste that pizza. Pure heaven. I don’t miss what I gave up.”

“Nothing?”

His cheeks flushed. “Well, mostly. The superhero thing was nice...”

“You do miss it! Is
