"Sophie, I've noticed you've been acting strange lately. Is there something you're hiding from me?"
He scrutinized her suspiciously. Before, no matter when he wanted her, even if she was a bit reluctant, at the very least, she would give in. Why is it that recently, even when he cajoles her patiently, she ignores him?
"If you keep making me wait, I might get sick from holding it in." His large hand slid down her cheek, landing a kiss on her face.
Sophie didn't know how to explain it to him. Several times she felt the urge to tell him she was pregnant, but every time the words reached her mouth, she couldn't say them. She didn't know if Asher Land would accept this child. She figured she still needed to test him a little more.
"If you're afraid of getting sick, you can find another woman. I don't mind," she said, trying to sound casual.
Asher Land's mouth twitched, and his large hand pinched her chest firmly.
"It hurts..." Sophie glared at him, removing his hand.
