Serena waited for him to say something. To respond to what sheâd just told him. She was horrified that sheâd sat here in his office and had sex with him instead of having the hard conversation sheâd come here to have. But she never quite thought straight when she was around him. And to have blurted out that she was pregnant so soon after making love with him again... None of this was happening the way sheâd wanted it to.
But now that sheâd said it, she couldnât take the words back.
He blinked as if not quite sure what to say. âSorry?â He shifted her on his legs, easing out of her.
She hated the feeling but understood that he was probably in shock. Maybe she should backtrack and try this again.
âI... I...â She took a deep breath. âI havenât been feeling quite right for the last couple of weeks, and I couldnât figure out why.â
âYou didnât look like you felt at all well when we were running. And add that to what you said before we parted ways...â
Her teeth scraped against each other a couple of times as she tried to drum up the courage to say again what she needed to say. âI couldnât get up the nerve to tell you what was wrong that day.â
âAnd now you want to.â
He looked confused. Maybe Toby hadnât actually heard what sheâd said a minute ago. She hadnât exactly shouted out the news. âYes. As I said, I wasnât feeling well and realized my cycle was later than it had ever been. So... I decided to take a pregnancy test.â
âI see.â
He was calm. Too calm.
A sense of horror and foreboding rushed over her. âIâm pregnant. And as you now know, Avery is not the father. Although Iâm sure you might wish he were.â
âYouâre pregnant?â
The words were said with that same strange calmness even as her brain was still busy staggering back to its feet after what theyâd just done together.
Why was he staring at her as if he still didnât understand what she was saying?
He repeated the words once again before he blinked. âOh, hell. Iâm the father?â
This time his voice wasnât monotone, and although he hadnât shouted it at her, his words nevertheless struck her with the force of a sledgehammer.
She scrambled off him. âIâm so sorry. I just thought you should know.â She licked her lips as she stood there in complete disarray, the fact that she was naked from the waist up barely registering with her. âI should never have...â She motioned at the chair he still sat in.
Should never have what? Let him make love to her?
Yes. Exactly that. Except sheâd been so caught up in his words as he said he could never forget that night, or her, that she couldnât think clearly. Sheâd been bewitched by him. Just like she had been at the bar in Cozumel. Only none of that was his fault. She never should have let him make love to her before he knew the truth about why sheâd wanted to speak to him.
