“No.”
The second I say it, something dark flickers in his eyes.
“Shit,” he hisses.
“It’s fine,” I mumble.
“No, Tempest, it’snot,” he growls. “I can do fake marriage.” His eyes narrow on me. “I’m not doing fake parenting.”
“Well, me neither!” I spit.
It’s his insinuation that I for whatever insane reasonwouldwant to have a kid with him that pisses me off the most. I awkwardly get to my feet and turn away, my face red as I pull my panties back up, shivering when I feel them cling to the wetness from us both. I shove my skirts back down and start to retie the bodice.
“You should have told me you weren’t on birth control,” Dante mutters.
I whirl on him. “I can’t get pregnant anyway, asshole, so it’s a moot point!”
“Why?”
I ignore him as I turn on my heel and march to the door, wincing a little at the soreness between my legs.
“Tempest.”
“Fuck you, it’s none of your?—”
“Thirty minutes ago when I fuckingmarried you,” he snaps at my back. “It very much became my business!”
A roaring sound fills my ears as I angrily fumble at the lock on the door.
“Tempest—”
“Fuck you!”
“Why can’t you get?—”
I snap, and I turn on him, all the rage at the unfairness of everything that I’ve been trying to hold back for so long finally erupting out of me.
“Because I’m fucking dying, okay?!”

DANTE
For what feelslike a solid minute, I stare silently at her, trying to convince myself that I heard her wrong. But we both know I didn’t.
Her face turns red, as if she’s embarrassed.
“What?” I growl quietly.
Tempest looks away, turning to fuss with the lock again. “Nothing,” she mumbles. “I…I didn’t mean that.”
I cross the distance between us, grabbing her by the chin and turning her to face me.
“Yes. You. Did.” My pulse thuds as I peer into her face.
There’s not a single trace of lie.
Holy fuck.
