“Sophie? What are you doing here?” Drake asked. He got up to come around the desk, opening his arms.
I stepped back into the wall. “Don’t.”
Drake frowned, lowering his arms. “What’s the matter?”
“The demon was just here, Drake. He’s taking over your body and you have no clue when he does it.” I felt my lip tremble as my emotions got the best of me. “He’s come to my house pretending to be you and even lured me here as you, asking to see me. I can’t do this. I can’t risk the children just because you may need me.”
Angry, Drake leaned against his desk. “I can’t believe the arrogant ass. He’s taking over my life, hurting the people in it. What am I supposed to do? How am I supposed to stop him, Sophie?”
“I don’t know. I have no idea how to prevent his takeover.” I raised my hands helplessly. “I’m coming to realize there may not be anything I can do.”
Drake hurried toward me. “Please, don’t give up on me. Not now. Not when I need you so badly.” He spun around, running a hand through his hair. “I will figure this out. My child will not grow up without a father.”
Taking a deep breath, I nodded. There wasn’t much for me to say. I needed to get out of there before I started crying.
Spinning, I hurried out of his office. When I made it into the foyer and Brian saw my face, he stood up in alarm.
“Sophie? What’s the matter?” he asked, rushing over to my side, looking around for any danger.
“I just want to leave. Take me home.”
Chapter Nineteen
Closing my eyes, I sighed softly, enjoying Ethan’s light kisses on my stomach and chest. When he came up to my face, I opened my eyes, smiling. “I love when you kiss me like that. It makes me tingle.”
Slowly, he brushed his fingers up my side, watching as I shivered. When he glanced down at my nipples, finding them pebbled, he closed his mouth over one, running his hand back down my side and cupping my ass. I moaned, lifting a leg over his hip to bring him closer. His lips moved up my chest to my neck. I tilted my head to the side to give him full access. He bit down sharply. I gasped, my nails digging into his bare back.
“I need to feel you inside me,” I told him, reaching down to pull at his boxer briefs.
Ethan chuckled, sliding them down his legs. I gripped him in my hands, guiding his erection to my opening. He was so large and thick, I knew he needed me just as badly as I needed him.
I cried out when he slammed into me, my back arching. My gods, he felt good. It was like I couldn’t get enough of him. I whimpered, urging him to go faster by rocking my hips. His breathing got heavier as his face took on an expression of concentration. Slow wasn’t going to do it for me. I wanted it hard and fast.
Sensing my desire, Ethan met me with each thrust. He kissed me, biting down on my lip so hard, I swore, feeling blood pool. I stopped moving when he licked it away. Pulling him in deeper, I kissed him with desperation. His tongue dove into my mouth as his hips rocked into me. When my fangs appeared, he moved his head so I could get access to his neck. Sinking my fangs into him, I hummed with pleasure as his blood filled my mouth.
Feeling I was close, I pulled away from him, my eyes rolling back. “Oh gods!” I couldn’t hold it off anymore. It built so fast and strong, I screamed, digging my nails into him.
He thrust a few more times, grunting as he fell over the edge.
Once he caught his breath, he fell to the side of me, hand covering his forehead. “Wow, Sophie.”
I gasped for breath and curled into his side, placing a leg over his. He rubbed my arm, closing his eyes.
He wasn’t happy when had I told him what happened with Drake. The fear in his eyes was something I didn’t want to see again. We had more to protect now that I was pregnant. I couldn’t be so careless. Drake was unpredictable. After what happened earlier, I knew I couldn’t be alone with him again.
Ethan wrapped an arm around me. I placed my head on his chest, taking in his scent and listening to his heart. Running my hand over his chest, I looked up at him. “You’re quieter than usual,” I said softly.
“I’m just thinking about how in the hell we’re going to take down Drake. We have no plan. No one has information. There is literally nothing that can stop this demon.” He shook his head. “I need to meet with my brothers.”
“Take me with you.”
Shaking his head, Ethan looked down at me. “They’ll be less forthcoming if I bring you. Going alone will likely get me more information. We need all we can get.”
Nodding, I looked away, staring at the doorway. I saw Taco flying around the kitchen, doing who knew what. He seemed awfully busy for a dragon that should have been watching his soaps. Suspicious, I debated about getting up to check on him, but instead decided to stay in bed. I pulled the sheet over me and Ethan, feeling less exposed. We should have shut the door, but completely forgot.
I sighed, not liking to be left out of things. “Well, I guess I can look through the books in my office while you’re gone. Maybe there is some information on Bael and his second-in-command.”
When my cell phone started to ring, both of us groaned. I reached over to the nightstand, picking it up and looking at the screen, then putting it to my ear.
“Hey, Mikey.”
“Something’s wrong with Jenna. She’s zoned out, calling me Sophie and talking about getting back together with Drake.”
Confused, I sat
