Chapter Four

A few weeks later

“How much longer are you going to stay around here and sulk?” Alexis looked up from the book he’d been pretending to read and gave his brother Rhys a tired glance. “I’m not sulking,” he answered, his voice a raspy croak.

Rhys plopped down next to him on the couch and awkwardly wrapped an arm around his shoulders. They’d never been too close, but they’d now ended up under the same roof since their father had assigned Rhys to babysit Alexis. It wasn’t something Alexis had been very happy about at the time, but now he appreciated the company. Rhys might only be his half brother, but it was better than nothing, and he’d been nice with Alexis so far.

“Then what is this thing you’re doing?” Rhys inquired. “How much time has it been since you’ve fed?”

“I fed this morning,” Alexis mumbled. It wasn’t true, but it wasn’t quite a lie, either. He hadn’t actually fed since his last coupling with Morgan and hadn’t touched anyone sexually since Layton. Thankfully, he’d managed to keep limits on the situation with Layton, and it hadn’t escalated beyond limits the seahorse would later have problems to surpass. But now, for Alexis, that issue wasn’t the more urgent one. Alexis couldn’t eat, and masturbation and wet dreams might be able to satisfy a younger incubus, but not him, especially not now.

He rubbed his belly in a discreet gesture he hoped to hide from his brother. Over the past weeks, he’d begun to suspect his time with Morgan had left him with more than just memories. It should have been impossible, but apparently not.

“Your own hand doesn’t count,” Rhys told him. “You need to sate your hunger, Alexis. We have plenty of people who’d be more than willing to touch you. Come on. Accept their help.”

Nausea roiled through Alexis just at the thought, and it summoned his earlier sickness. Alexis broke out of his brother’s hold and rushed to the bathroom. Dropping to his knees in front of the toilet, he promptly threw up. God, the situation was getting worse with each day that passed, and he didn’t know how to deal with it. As a rule, he hated vomiting, but especially now since he didn’t actually have anything to throw up, not even real food. It was all just gastric juices, which made his hunger rear its ugly head and his stomach hurt. Shit, he needed to do something about it. At this rate, he’d lose his baby, and that was something he absolutely could not accept.

A shadow obscured the light coming from the open bathroom door. “You have to tell Father. He and your mother should at least know.”

Alexis struggled to his feet, not meeting Rhys’s eyes. “There’s nothing to tell. I’m just a little sick now. I’ll get over it.”

“You’re pregnant, Alexis,” Rhys told him. “I’m not blind, you know. You might be trying to hide it from me, but only an idiot would miss it.”

Alexis took a deep breath, his heart starting to beat faster.
