helping matters. She picked up her phone, but
before she could swipe her finger across the screen and dial his number she got an incoming call. The
number that flashed in front of her had her heart racing. It was the same number she saw on the
construction billboards in town, and the same one she had been staring at on that scrap piece of paper
for the past several days.
Oh God. Oh God. Oh God. Just answer it already before it goes to voicemail. Ary ran her
finger across the screen and brought it up to her ear. “Hello?” Why did she sound so out of breath and
shaky? Because she was nervous as hell.
“February?” God, there was something about his voice and the way he said her full name that
made everything inside of her tingle with awareness. She had heard it replay over and over again in
her head, but actually hearing the smooth baritone of it over the phone was so much more satisfying.
He said her name all smooth like, and all she could think about was being beneath him as he pounded
all that hard flesh into her.
“Yeah, this is Ary.” Oh lord, she sounded ridiculous. Closing her eyes and slapping her hand
over them, she breathed out and prayed he didn’t hear the nervousness through her voice. His chuckle
told her she failed miserably at trying to hide it.
“I’m glad to know I’m not the only one nervous about this phone call.”
What? Really?
“Listen, let’s just forget about how strange all of this is and relax, yeah?” He made it sound so
easy, but really, wasn’t it?
No, you stupid girl. Remember, you planned on calling him to tell him you’re pregnant with his
child?
“Ary, you there?” How long had she left him hanging on the line? Taking a deep, steadying
breath, she placed her hand on her rounded belly, which had nothing to do with the baby growing
inside of her, and forced her voice to stay steady.
“Yeah, I’d like that.” She heard him exhale and wondered if he had been holding it in. It was
strange that she could sense how nervous he was through the phone. It went against everything she had
ever heard about him, and what she experienced when she’d spent those few blissful hours being
consumed by him.
“Good, that’s real good. Maybe you’d want to meet up and get something to eat? I’d like to
talk with you, if that’s all right?” Well, if this wasn’t turning out easier than she thought. She hadn’t
been the one to call him and ask him to meet, but that led to the realization that when she agreed,
because there was no option against that, she would have to come clean. She looked at the ultrasound
picture again. It was too early for the tech to be able to tell from the bone structure and internal organs
whether the baby would be an ocelot or bear shifter, but she hoped he took what she said in stride. It
was going to be hard telling him, but it had to be done.
“Yeah, that sounds good. When and where would you like to meet?” He rattled off a small café
that specialized in soups and sandwiches, and after he told her what time to meet him, in just a few
short hours, they hung up. Well, this was really going to happen, so she might as well put on her big
girl panties, grow a pair of balls, and get it over with.
Two hours later and Ary was pulling into an empty parking spot at J&A’s. The little café was
relatively quiet, something she was thankful for. Turing off the car and just sitting there for a moment
to get her bearings, she listened to the sound of the engine cooling. The click, click, click filled the
interior in an almost rhythmic sounding noise. There was no sign of Charlie’s Harley, and aside from a
large truck and a few cars the place was pretty barren. Climbing out of the car she made her way
inside. The hostess that stood behind her little podium glanced up and gave her a thorough once-over.
The scent of the hostess being a leopard shifter permeated the air the closer she got, as well as the fact
she was
