I thought I was too worked up to sleep, but I was so exhausted, I crashed the moment my head hit the pillow.
My phone’s alarm woke me up way too early, and I stumbled into the shower. After a quick rinse to wake me up, I threw my hair up in a ponytail and pulled on a pair of clothes.
My stomach was growling, so I stepped into my shoes and grabbed my purse, then opened the bedroom door.
Though I planned on digging something to eat out of Beck’s fridge, I halted in the doorway.
Because there was a man sprawled out on the ground. A gorgeous man.
Right in front of my door.
He was snoring lightly, and Sprinkles was draped over his chest, also asleep.
Shit.
For a minute, I just stared at the two of them. Beck was shirtless, wearing the same basketball shorts from the night before. They did absolutely nothing to hide his morning wood. If anything, they highlighted it.
Which made me warm, even if I didn’t want to admit it.
And he was asleep on the floor, for some reason.
With Sprinkles—vicious, horrible Sprinkles—asleep on him and clearly not doing any damage.
Then again, laying on his bare chest would probably erase my anger too. It had to be the world’s most perfect chest.
I forced myself to let out a slow breath, hoping it would center me.
It didn’t.
I was severely shaken up by everything I’d learned. The mate thing was huge, and infuriating—but the possibility of pregnancy?
Terrifying.
Absolutely terrifying.
I was planning to get the number for the pack’s OB/GYN from Love as soon as she was up, but she wasn’t working that day, so I assumed she would sleep in.
And the more information I had and learned, the more real everything was going to feel.
Reality was shit.
So, maybe I didn’t want to learn anything.
Maybe I’d wait to call the gynecologist until more time had passed.
Or… well, maybe I should see if she knew more than Madd. Maybe I wouldn’t be crazy fertile with Beck unless we sealed a mate bond or something.
It didn’t hurt to be hopeful, right?
I finally forced myself to take a large, quiet step over the snoring pair on the floor, and made it without a problem. While I hunted through the fridge, I stayed quiet, so they wouldn’t wake up.
Of course, just as I was finishing the bowl of cereal I’d poured myself, Beck came shuffling out of the hallway.
I forced my attention to remain on the cereal.
“Where’s your phone?” His voice was more rumbly in the morning, which gave me goosebumps.
“Don’t worry about it.” I didn’t look at him.
