When Isaiah woke up the next morning, Poppy wasn’t in bed with him. He was irritated, but he imagined she was still trying to hold on to some semblance of control with her little game.

She was going to end up agreeing to marry him. He was fairly confident in that. But what he’d said about her being like a stray cat, he’d meant. She might not like the comparison, but it was true enough. Now that he wanted to domesticate her, she was preparing to run.

But her common sense would prevail. It didn’t benefit her not to marry him.

And she couldn’t deny the chemistry between them. He wasn’t being egotistical about that. What they had between them was explosive. It couldn’t be denied.

When he got downstairs, he saw Poppy sitting at the kitchen table. She was dressed in the same outfit she’d been wearing last night, and she was staring straight ahead, her eyes fixed on her clenched fists.

“Good morning,” he said.

“No, it isn’t,” she responded. She looked up at him, and then she frowned. “Could you put a shirt on?”

He looked down at his bare chest. He was only wearing a pair of jeans. “No.”

“I feel like this is a conversation we should have with your shirt on.” She kept her gaze focused on the wall behind him.

He crossed his arms over his chest. “I’ve decided I like the conversations I have with you without my shirt better.”

“I’m not joking around, Isaiah.”

“Then you don’t have time for me to go get a shirt. What’s going on?”

“I’m pregnant.” She looked like she was delivering the news of a death to him.

“That’s...” He let the words wash over him, took a moment to turn them over and analyze what they made him feel. He felt...calm. “That’s good,” he said.

“Is it?” Poppy looked borderline hysterical.

“Yes,” he said, feeling completely confident and certain now. “We both want children.”

It was sooner than he’d anticipated, of course, but he wanted children. And...there was something relieving about it. It made this marriage agreement feel much more final. Made it feel like more of a done deal.

Poppy was his.

He’d spent last night in bed with her working to affirm that.

A pregnancy just made it that much more final.

“I broke up with you last night,” she pointed out.

“Yes, you did a very good impression of a woman who was broken up with me. Particularly when you cried out my name during your... Was it your third or fourth orgasm?”

“That has nothing to do with whether or not we should be together. Whether or not we should get married.”

“Well, now there’s no question about whether or not we’re getting married. You’re having my baby.”

“This is not 1953. That is not a good enough reason to get married.”

He frowned. “I disagree.”

“I’m not going to just jump into marriage with you.”

“You’re being unreasonable. You were more than willing to jump into marriage with me when you agreed to my proposal. Now suddenly when we’re having a child you can’t jump
