Desire — Delilah Fawkes

Lilly...

I'm late.

Am I late?

Oh, God… I am late… aren't I?

Was it possible?

I mean, sure, I'd had unprotected sex with Damien. Those were the terrible facts of the matter. But only twice, and at the end of my cycle. Could that even result in a pregnancy?

There was probably nothing to worry about. Then again, what if there was? Was I ready for this?

I mean, obviously I'd been thinking about it ever since Damien laid out his evil little deal. If I was pregnant, it meant an extra million dollars, ready to change my life forever. But it would also mean something else… It would mean that I had to grow up, and what's more... face the fact that I was falling head-over-heels in love with Damien Black!

Damien...

Something is up with Lilly, but what?

Was she thinking about the second part of our deal? We hadn't spoken about it since that first day when she agreed to play the part of my fiancé, and then bride. I told her I'd try to talk to my father, to get him to agree to drop this insanity about me having a baby from our contract, but hadn't yet had time to follow up.

Okay, okay, fine. I hadn't had the balls to follow up...

I just had to bite the bullet. No matter how awkward and awful it always was talking to that man, I had to try. A baby would change everything about my life -- absolutely everything.

Would it be so bad having a child, if Lilly was the mother?

One thing was for sure, I had to find out where I stood with her. Baby or not, one thing was certain: that little thief had stolen my heart.

No matter what, I had to make her mine...
