He sets the tray down on the nightstand next to the bed.
“Do you need anything else? Anything else to eat or drink?”
I shake my head. “No, this is perfect. Thank you.”
He nods and stares at Kit. “It’s not your fault. It’s mine and Andrea’s and your father’s and The Abyss’s, but not yours. Falling in love isn’t wrong. No matter who you fall in love with, you can’t help it. And he won’t fault you for putting him in danger, either. He’d risk his life all over again if it meant getting to love you.”
My lips thin at his words, but I don’t say anything. Instead, I lean over and pick up a cracker from the tray to munch on, trying to keep my stomach from heaving again.
Lennox’s heated gaze never leaves me.
“It’s his?” he asks, hope and pain in his eyes.
I look to Kit, making sure he’s asleep before I answer.
“Yes.”
Lennox exhales a sharp breath before he speaks again. “So you choose him?”
“No.” My eyes flit to Lennox, whose face is pulled into a confused expression.
“Then who?”
I can see hope flooding his expressions. I decide to quickly put him out of his misery.
“I choose Andrea.”
Chapter 15
Lennox
Rialta is pregnant with Kit’s baby.
But she doesn’t want to be with him—she wants to be with Andrea.
And me? I’m pretty sure she still wants me dead, although I don’t understand why.
I hold her gaze, completely confused by this woman. I don’t know what to believe anymore. I don’t know who she is, what game she’s playing, or whose side she’s on.
I don’t know who she loves. It feels like she’s playing all three of us, but why? For what purpose?
I tilt my head toward the door, hoping to have this conversation in private. She frowns and snuggles into Kit harder, refusing to leave his side.
I roll my eyes. “Follow me, or I’ll make sure Kit is awake while you tell me you don’t want him to raise his own child.”
She glares. “You wouldn’t.”
I growl, and Kit twitches at the sound, beginning to stir.
She strokes his cheek until he’s gently snoring again and then eases off the bed, following me back into the living room.
“Happy? I promised him I’d stay, but I leave after five minutes.”
“Kit will live. You have some explaining to do.” I stare at her. I study her belly for any sign of swelling, but I see nothing. My eyes drag up her body to her breasts, but they, too, don’t seem any bigger. There is no outward sign of her pregnancy except for the morning sickness.
I think back to Ri’s pregnancy and realize it took several months for her belly to begin to show. Rialta can’t be very far along.
I cross my arms, my eyes darkening. “Explain yourself.”
