Chapter Six

Tessa vaguely remembered being carried and stripped of her shoes, socks, and clothes before her head hit a soft pillow. Lucian had talked her to sleep. She was so exhausted from being scared of Lucian’s transformation, then finding out she was pregnant and worrying about her baby, that when she was safe and knew things could work she let the exhaustion take over and slept deeply for the first time in months.

Slowing opening her eyes to the pitch black room, Tessa sighed when she saw it wasn’t her little flat at her parents’. She was at Lucian’s house, in his bedroom. “I wonder where your daddy is?” She glanced beside her and rubbed her baby bump. She knew Lucian had lain with her last night. Tessa wasn’t sure if Lucian had slept or just lay on or in the bed with her. Did demons sleep? That was something she’d have to ask, along with what she should call him now. Did she call him Lucifer or Lucian?

Stretching her rested body, her stomach growled and she covered it with her hands. “Let me go to the bathroom and then I’ll go hunt us up some breakfast. What do you feel like this morning?”

“What does he like to eat?” Lucian’s voice had her squealing in fright and falling off the bed. Quick as lightening, before she hit the ground, Lucian’s wing broke her fall. He lifted her up and gathered her to him.

“I didn’t know you were in the room.”

His lips brushed over hers and she couldn’t resist melting into him. “I wasn’t. I heard you talking and came up.”

“Oh.” It dawned on her he’d said he heard her when he wasn’t in the room. “Wow. How well can you hear?”

“Very good. I can hear anything you say in this house and probably if I strained close outside. The only time I can’t sense or hear you is when I’m feeding or drinking, when I’m at my most vulnerable. It’s why you snuck up on me when I first met you and when you saw me feeding off Xore.”

Tessa nodded and wanted to know more, but she was dying for the bathroom. She crossed her legs and groaned. “I really want to talk and know more, but since I’ve become pregnant I can’t hold on. I swear the baby dances on my bladder.”

Lucian didn’t say anything, but walked her to the bathroom. Letting go of her hand, he backed out and shut the door. She sat on the toilet and her brain swam with question after question she wanted to ask Lucian.

Once done, she got up and washed her hands. Splashing water on her face, she cleaned herself and then opened the door to see Lucian waiting for her with a t-shirt in his hand. Grabbing it, she slipped it over her naked body. “I have so many questions, but I’m hungry so food first. What is the time?”

“I’ll answer any question you ask.” He reached for her hands and held them tight as they left the room, walked down the hall and the stairs.
