“A consolation prize, huh?” Clara asked, wriggling her eyebrows at Lucy.
She leaned against the counter, smiling at Lucy, and said, “Do tell.”
“It was just a kiss,” Lucy stammered, her face turning an even brighter red.
“Was it? If that was the case, then why is your face so red?”
“It was a great kiss,” Lucy admitted.
“What happened after this great kiss? Did he just bid you good night and go back to his room?” Clara asked, teasingly.
Lucy was sure that her face was about to burst into flames. She could still taste his kisses and feel his body on top of hers.
“Earth to Lucy.” Clara laughed, waving her arms in front of Lucy.
Lucy knew that she probably looked a little foolish with the huge grin that was plastered on her face.
“He didn’t leave, at least not right after the kiss,” Lucy confessed. “We had sex.”
“Did you now? And?”
“And, it was just like it is in the books. The heat, the tingling, everything. It takes my breath away just by thinking about it.”
“Was it just the physical sensations or was there something more?”
Lucy hesitated for a second. She had this same conversation in her head just a bit ago, but it was harder to actually admit it out loud to another person.
“It was more than just physical. I felt something else, but I couldn’t tell you exactly what it was,” Lucy said.
“Are you starting to feel something more than just friendship for him?”
“I might be,” Lucy said. “I don’t know. I don’t want to rush to any conclusions. You know that they say that you should never say ‘I love you’ after sex because the emotions are still high. I think I need to take a step back and think about everything.”
“I can understand that.”
“I did tell him that having sex didn’t change anything.”
“You’ve already admitted that you feel something for Micah that likely goes beyond just friendship. Are you sure that you aren’t letting your stubbornness and your pride get in the way of your happiness?”
“I’m not going to lie and say no. But, don’t you think that I would know if I was in love with Micah?”
“Love can sneak up on you pretty quickly,” Clara said. “Trust me, I know.”
Just then, Clara let out a loud yelp and she rubbed her belly.
“What’s wrong?” Lucy asked, her heart thudding with panic.
Clara smiled and said, “Nothing. I guess it’s safe to tell you that I’m pregnant. Dillon, my husband, is a wolf shifter, too. As you know, shifter babies have a shorter gestation period than other babies, so I was trying to keep the pregnancy quiet so people couldn’t do the math.”
“Congratulations,” Lucy said. “Are you okay?”
“Yeah, the baby just kicked, hard. She does that all the time.”
“She?”
“Zeke is convinced that he’s going to have a baby sister.”
“Maybe he has the gift of sight,” Lucy said. “And all this time, I thought that you were just pleasantly plump.”
