“What are you doing?” I ask.
Finding my phone in one of the pockets, he hands it to me. “Text your mom and let her know you took your medicine.”
My brow arches. “You trying to get on her good side?”
“Gotta show her I’m a catch.”
I roll my eyes. Taking the phone, I send her a quick text anyway.
Me
Just took my medicine.
Mom
Thanks for the update. Love you, baby!
Me
Love you too.
I turn off my phone and toss it back onto the heap of clothes on the floor.
“Now what, Mr. Golden Retriever?”
“Now, it’s bedtime.” Tangling his fingers with mine, he pulls me to my feet. “Come on. Let’s get some sleep.”

KATE
Adull ache settles above my pubic bone, and I wake up groggily. It’s still late. Or early, depending on how you look at things. There isn’t any light coming in through the windows, but I’m not quite as exhausted as I should be. It must be early morning. Shifting onto my side, I pull my knees to my chest before I realize my thighs are slick. I freeze.
Maybe it’s the remnants from my tryst with Macklin.
Or maybe it’s my worst nightmare.
I do the math in my head, dread filling my system as the numbers check out.
Quietly, I slip out from under the covers, my footsteps muffled by the thick carpet in Mack’s bedroom as I tiptoe toward the bathroom. Once the door is closed behind me, I flick on the lights and head to the toilet.
I gasp.
No!
No, no, no, no.
I started my period.
And it’s everywhere.
Shit!
Apparently, sleeping naked was a bad idea.
I shove my hair away from my face and peek at my legs again.
A terrible idea.
