Lara, I'm sorry sweetness. Forgive me?

I'm getting worried. Please text me back or call me to let me know that you're okay.

Lara? If you don't answer me in the next twenty minutes, I'm driving over there o get you.

David won't let me leave. What's going on Lara? Why aren't you answering me? Is it about the wedding? I want nothing more than to marry you Lara. Please call me.

I love you, Lara.

I stared at the text messages for a few minutes before I locked my phone and placed it aside. My little vacation was going great, but that only lasted for the first five days. It was hell trying to fall asleep without Silas's hard body pressed to my back. Not that I wasn't enjoying myself, I loved hanging out with Mel and Valeria.

Mel was totally different than I had expected her to be. The fact that she was full human like me was shocking. When Valeria had told me that they were best friends, I had expected her to be a shifter as well. Unfortunately I didn't get the opportunity to meet her mate because he had already left by the time we had arrived.

The first day we arrived we just lazed around the house and talked. On the second day, they had talked me into doing some shopping which ended after an hour. My feet were killing me by the time we got home. The third day was spent with Mel while Valeria went out in search of wedding magazines. I wanted to tell her to just leave it because I wasn't sure whether there would still be a wedding or not.

In the end I stayed silent. To be honest, I was enjoying going through the bridal books and making list of things we might need. We had no wedding location or a total number of guests but it didn't stop us. I was having fun until I wasn't anymore.

A sigh fell from my lips as I leaned back against the pillows. My eyes darted around the medium-sized room. The walls were painted white and all the furniture were a dark brown. The double bed was placed against the wall across from a window that had a window seat. Two wall to ceiling shelves stood on either side of the window that was filled with books and a few ornaments. I loved the fact that there wasn't a lot of stuff in the room but it still had a homey feel.

My eyes darted over to my phone. I bit my lip as hesitation filled me. I was dying just to hear his voice.

"What do you say baby?" I asked as I rubbed my stomach. "Should I give your daddy a call?"

There was no answer but I felt a small flutter. A smile slid onto my face. I couldn't wait for my baby to start kicking. Another sigh fell from my lips as I reached for the phone. I dialled Silas's numbed and waited. It kept ringing and just as I was about to hang up, he answered.

"How are you my beauty?"

"Where's Silas?" The last person I wanted to talk to was Ethan.

He hesitated a little too long for my liking. "In the shower."

"Please give the phone to him, Ethan."

"You know how that's going to end, beauty." He muttered something under his breath that I couldn't hear. "Are you okay?"

I swallowed and squeezed my eyes closed. I didn't want to talk to him. We couldn't have a normal conversation because it either ended with us fighting or Ethan being a dick. I missed him too. The more I stayed near him, the harder it was going to be to walk away. Spending time away from him could help me harden my heart towards him.

"I'm fine," I whispered. "How are you?"

"I'm missing you."

"Ethan—"

"Do you miss me?"

I licked my lips. "You know I do."

"Where are you?" he asked.

I frowned at him. "Why?"

"I'm just asking. How's your stay going? Are you having fun?"

Shifting slightly, I got more comfortable and spread my legs out in front of me. My eyes locked onto my blue toenails. Valeria had painted it the night before. After we had painted our toenails, we had settled on watching some movies.

"Lara?"

"I'm having fun."

"So much fun that you haven't contacted Silas?"

"What happens between me and Silas is none of your business, Ethan. You—"

"Hold on."

I pulled the phone from my ear and stared at the screen. Ending the call was an option, but something I didn't really want to do. I groaned and raised my hand to press the phone back to my ear. It felt like hours before he was back on the line again.

"I'm sorry I had to take care of something." I heard a door slam close in the background. "These stupid fucking kids," he growled.

Shivers raced down my spine. I shouldn't be getting turned on by his anger. Ethan was still growling and it just made me feel hotter. Whenever Silas made those animalistic sounds I got all hot and bothered and it seemed like the same was happening with Ethan. It shouldn't be happening. Maybe it was just the pregnancy hormones.

"Stop growling!" I yelled at him when the sound became too much.

He was silent for a few seconds before he spoke again. "Why?"

"Because I can't think when you do that! It drives me crazy and makes me feel all hot and achy—" I stopped abruptly when I realized that I had told him exactly what I was feeling.

"All hot and bothered, huh?" He chuckled. "Are you alone, my beauty?"

My mouth dried. I nodded, and then realized that he couldn't see me. "Y-yes."

"Where are you?"

"I-In the bedroom, on the bed."

"Get naked."

My eyes widened. "W-What?"

"Do you trust me, Lara?" he asked.

"Yes."

I could hear the smile in his voice when he spoke again. "Trust me; I'm going to make you feel really good, beauty. Take off your clothes and get comfortable on the bed."

I hesitated but in the end curiosity got the best of me. Valeria and Mel were out to do I didn't know what. They had invited me to go with them, but I had made up a lie by saying that I was going to take a nap. I had no clue when they'd be home, but just to be on the safe side, I closed and locked the door. My hands shook as I undressed. I climbed onto the bed and laid down before reaching for the phone.

"Okay."

"Are you naked and comfortable?"

"Yes."

"Put the phone on speaker," he muttered huskily.

I pressed the button and placed the phone next to me on the pillow and waited. There was some shuffling. I swore I heard a zip in the background. My hands gripped the sheets tightly when he started speaking again. I closed my eyes like he had ordered me and just breathed.

"Do you remember what my lips feel like against yours?"

"Yes."

"Good, because I'm kissing you, beauty. My tongue is seeking entrance to your mouth. Can you open for me?"

My lips parted. "Ethan."

"Can you feel me beauty? Can you feel my hands tracing your soft skin?" His voice was low and seductive. "Place your hands on your stomach and slowly trail them upwards. Let only your fingertips brush your skin. Slowly upwards. Tell me how it feels."

"Good."

"Cup your tits beauty and give them a firm squeeze. Now wet your finger and slowly circle your nipple."

I squeezed my eyes closed and raised a hand to my mouth. I hesitated and then licked my fingers. My stomach clenched as pleasure shot through me.

"Now pinch your nipples and tug on them. Image my mouth on those beautiful tits, sucking and squeezing them. Can you feel me?"

I whimpered, and squeezed my thighs together to ease the ache.

"Now spread your legs apart and slowly slip one of your hands down your stomach and in between your legs." He groaned. "Are you wet?"

"So wet. Please Ethan."

"Play with yourself, Lara. Let me hear you," he said. "Take it slowly. Tell me when you're close."

My cheeks heated with colour. I slipped a hand down my stomach and between my legs. I was soaking wet and aching so badly. My body jerked when I brushed a finger across my clit. I moaned and slipped my hand lower. I dipped two fingers inside my pussy before moving them back up to rub my clit again.

Ethan suddenly moaned. I gasped and slammed my legs closed. That sound shot right through me, making my stomach clench and toes curl.

"W-what are you doing Ethan?"

He stayed silent for a few seconds before he answered. "I'm having phone sex with my beauty."

"Oh god."

"Come for me Lara. I don't think I can hold out any longer."

I rubbed my clit faster. The familiar tingles shot through my body and I could feel the knot tightening. A cry fell from my lips when I crashed over the edge with Ethan following right behind me with a deep groan.

As the high faded, guilt slowly rose.

What had I just done?
