Running into the downstairs powder room, Harlow flung the door out of her way and heaved over the toilet. Nothing came out, but her body was overwhelmed with the urge to dispel what had just assaulted it. The trouble was, it wasn’t so easy to exile emotion.

Standing up, she leaned against the wall and tried to calm herself. Sweat beaded on her brow. She was shaking like after an adrenaline shot. Having had a lot of experience with that recently, she recognized the sensation.

“Harlow?”

Opening her eyes, she saw Rupert coming into the room, pushing the door over behind him without closing it.

“I’m okay,” she said, going to the sink to splash water on her face.

“You don’t seem okay,” he said, stopping beside her. “You’re erratic, you have mood swings, and now this… You would tell me, wouldn’t you?”

Standing up, she snagged the towel that hung on the wall by the sink. “Tell you what?”

“I’m saying,” he said, making eye contact with her reflection. “It would be okay… I’d accept it.”

“Accept what?” she asked, hanging up the towel again. “Rupert, I don’t—”

“You said you’d been with someone… in the city. You said you were with another man.”

Yeah, and that man was sitting in the dining room, which set her on edge. “Why are you…”

His gaze dropped and she realized he was looking at her stomach. “We can raise him or her together… We can be a family. I don’t want you to think you have to hide anything from me.”

Shocked, Harlow was too dumbfounded to react with anything other than incredulity. “You can’t be serious,” she said, turning to face him, holding up both palms. “Let’s just forget we had this conversation.”

Leaving him in the bathroom, she chose to go into the kitchen instead of the dining room. Filling a glass from the faucet, she took a sip and then crouched to retrieve a small wash cloth from beneath the sink where the medical supplies were kept.

When she closed the cabinet door, Harlow was surprised to see a pair of legs next to her. “Something you want to tell me, Trinket?”

“God, you’re like a creeper,” she said, standing up to run the cold water over the wash cloth. “What are you even doing in here?”

“Told them I was going for a smoke.”

“You don’t smoke,” she said, wringing the water out of the wash cloth.

His hand crept onto her belly. “They don’t know that.”

She slapped at his hand. “Stop touching me.”

“You know I wouldn’t let him have you,” he said. “You do know that, right? Both of you are mine.”

Turning her eyes to the ceiling, she released a breath to the count of five. “I don’t even want to know how you overheard us in there,” she grumbled and then pinned a side glare on him. “And, you seem to have missed a few sex ed classes. You can’t actually get a woman pregnant with oral. And you have never ejaculated anywhere near my cervix.”

Taking the wash cloth from her, he squeezed out the excess liquid and leaned in while folding it in to a long rectangle.
