“It would have been hard,” he said.
“What’s that, the wait or the thing between your legs?”
We were both still sitting on the ground from our search for the ring, and Riggs scooted closer, kissing me tenderly. “Keep talking dirty, and we’re about to consummate this engagement right here on the floor.”
I bit my lip. “Well… It would be fun to have a baby as a wedding gift.”
Riggs perked up at that. We’d so far made no serious attempt to get pregnant. He claimed it wasn’t easy for a werewolf to get a vampire pregnant, but he’d still been pulling out, even if we hadn’t taken the precaution of a condom after the first couple of times.
“You want that?” he asked.
I put a hand on my stomach, imagining what it would feel like to know a little life we’d built together was growing in there. I nodded. “I would. I want you to put a baby in me, Riggs.”
His eyes flashed yellow as if I’d spoken some sort of hex to immediately wake his wolf.
Riggs struggled for a moment within himself, then only one eye remained yellow.
I felt my stomach go warm. Sex wasn’t always half wolf like this, but I’d come to learn that some of our most memorable encounters were with that single yellow eye. Riggs fully himself was already wild and untamed. Riggs with his wolf unchaining his reservations was like a hurricane.
I expected him to take me right there, but he surprised me by scooping me up and throwing me over his shoulder like a caveman. I laughed, swatting at his back and kicking my legs while he carried me down the stairs toward our bedroom. “My legs work!” I protested.
“You’ll need to save your strength for this,” he said. “We’re not stopping until there’s a baby growing inside you.”
I laughed. I was fairly sure it didn’t work that way, but like all things with Riggs, I planned to enjoy the ride and worry about what may or may not come when I got there. Right now, all I needed was this moment. This perfect moment that I sensed was just one of many, many more to come.
The End
I don’t usually fang and tell, but she earned an exception. The hapless woman who accidentally released me. The one who nearly got herself killed mere hours later. So I saved her, but my help came with a price.

A Note From Penelope!
Werewolves and vampires, huh? I know some of you were probably already hoping I’d have it out of my system once I’d finished Kiss Kiss Fang Fang, but I jumped into this little paranormal diversion with a pretty firm plan to at *least* do two PNR books. My hope is that I can continue sneaking this style of book into my regular rotation going forward, but mostly get my focus back to the world of contemporary.
If I ask other authors, the advice is pretty universally to just stick to one thing because that’s how you “blah blah business jargon”. But for me, that’s like wearing the same clothes every day. After a little while it just gets suffocating. So I really enjoy having the freedom to kind of chase the shiny object, as my squirrel brain would put it.
Sometimes, office romance looks shiny and exciting to me. Sometimes it’s BDSM. Sometimes it’s PNR. Sometimes it’s weird fantasy worlds where I make up sports and have people shoot each other with sword guns (yeah, I did that once. The book got taken down for some unrelated issue about formatting and they keep saying they’ll put it back up and never do).
Anyway! If you’re anxiously waiting for me to return to contemporary romance, that’s the plan. I’m actually wrapping up some of the nitty gritty that goes into preparing for my launch next week, and then I’m going to start brainstorming plots. I should be outlining tomorrow and writing by the end of the week (it’s Tuesday April 13th as I write this).
I’m always trying to whip myself back into shape and get my books done faster like I used to. But lately, they keep turning out 25,000 words longer than they used to *and* I’m writing them slower. I’m not really helping myself out here.
If you were wondering, my next book is going to be called… I’m not 100% sure, but something like… “The Boss(hole).” I’ve already got a plan for the story and I think it’s going to be super fun to write. I don’t usually toss out titles way ahead like that, but I’m my own boss, so I can do what I want, right!?
With all that said, I hope you did enjoy the book and won’t forget to leave a review for me! Amazon is like a big mysterious machine nobody understands, but I do know reviews help other people decide whether they want to check out my book or not. In other words, your reviews are the biggest thing you can do to help support me if that’s what you’re into. If making me ugly cry over a bucket of ice cream in my pajamas is your thing, you also have that option by leaving a nasty review. So, pick your poison, dear reader. I’ll see you in the reviews!
