Chapter 8

“Clay?” Her voice was breathless, like a woman in the throes of passion. She didn't know if it was the lust that consumed her at the moment, or fear of what she suddenly thought she knew.

“Yeah?” His voice was deeper than usual too...throaty, sexy. She almost forgot what she was going to tell him and went for his lips.

“I don't understand this...pull, but you feel it too, don't you?”

“Yes, and I think maybe I've also figured out what it is they want with you.”

Well that blew the mood, at least for the moment. She took a step back, out of that magnetic field that wanted to pull her in and said, “What? What do they want?”

“A mate...a mother, perpetuation of the species.”

“Excuse me?” She understood exactly what he said, she was just hoping she'd heard him wrong.

“There was only one female at the tower when we were there. She was older...maybe in her sixties, and I didn't see any children, or pups.”

Courtney couldn't believe that anyone would think of her in terms of perpetuating any species. Even before all of this, she had never planned on getting married or having children. She was always very careful with her... “Oh my God!”

“Don't panic. We'll figure this out.”

She shook her head. “No...it's not that, I mean, it is but...Clay, before I left the states, the doctor took me off my birth control.”

He frowned. “Why?”

“I went in for my vaccinations, before I flew out. A few days later I got a rash on my face and I went back in. I thought it was a reaction to the vaccinations. He drew some blood...God, I'm so stupid.”

“No you're not, Courtney. Whatever he told you, you believed because he was someone you were supposed to be able to trust.”

“He told me that I had too much estrogen in my body and I needed to take a break from the pills. I thought it was a good time, actually. I figured I wouldn't be having sex while I was in Afghanistan, so I wouldn't need them anyways. I'm so stupid. I was just thinking maybe my hormonal imbalance was why I felt so...”

“Horny?” he said, with a grin.

He was trying to help lighten her load by making a joke, but she didn't want to smile. She wanted to cry as the real, hurtful realization began to take shape in her mind. Her chest hurt and holding back the tears this time was going to be impossible. “My boss in Atlanta was an old army friend of my father's. My doctor...the same.”

“He served with your father too?”

She nodded as the tears began to slowly roll down her cheeks. Clay tossed the load of wood he had gathered aside and then reached out and wiped the tears off her face with his fingers. The touch of his skin against hers was like electricity, so strong it practically crackled in the air. Her mood was back, in force. The desire was burning her up from the inside out.
