“I’m giving you fair warning; I’m going to spoil her like crazy.”

“Could be a boy.” She laughed.

Lana clicked her tongue at her. “Bite your tongue. No boys are allowed in our girl club.” She gave her another comforting squeeze before she left to go into the bedroom.

Sitting quietly for several minutes, Larissa gained enough momentum to shower and change into pajamas.

She brushed her hair as she went into the living room, then came to a stop. Either Lana or Priscilla had gotten the bedding out the closet, opened the pull-out couch, and made the bed for her.

Placing a loving hand on her barely swollen belly, she smiled. Being pregnant was going to have its perks.

Larissa locked the car before she started walking toward her office building, then went inside as the elevator opened.

Recognizing Winter as she came out, Larissa wanted to rush past her as if she didn’t recognize her. Winter didn’t give her the option.

“Morning, Larissa. How are you doing?”

“Doing great. How are you?”

“Today’s Diamond’s first day back at work, so I wanted to stop by and drop off some doughnuts before I went to school.”

“That was nice of you. I haven’t met her yet. I’ll have to stop by and introduce myself.”

Winter looked troubled. “You might wait a couple of days. I think she’s only going to do a half-day.”

“I’ll wait, then.” She nodded. “I’ll look forward to meeting her. It’s good seeing you.” Hoping to bring the conversation to an end without mentioning the night they had last seen each other, Larissa started edging toward the front of her office.

“Larissa …” When Winter glanced around then embarrassedly cleared her throat, Larissa’s heart plummeted. “I …” Winter cleared her throat again. “Do you remember the night you came to the clubhouse?”

Larissa prayed she could keep her face expressionless. “I do. Did you get in trouble for the chairs being broken?”

“No, but …” Winter grimaced. “I hate to bring this up but … did you accidentally leave the bathroom and accidentally go into one of the men’s bedrooms?”

God, she wanted to lie so badly … but couldn’t.

“Perhaps we should talk in my office.”

Winter nodded and followed her inside the office. Priss had come in earlier, and the exam room was closed.

After she opened her private office door, they went inside, where she motioned for Winter to have a seat. Larissa sat down in the chair next to her.

“I have never been so embarrassed in my life,” she admitted shakily. “I don’t know what got into me that night. I used the restroom, and I was going back downstairs when I heard a noise from a bedroom and looked … I saw a couple having sex. I was so embarrassed that all I wanted to do was hurry back downstairs, but before I could move, I heard another sound. I didn’t want to be caught watching the couple, nor did I want them to see me, so I thought I would hide in the room behind me and then come out when the hall was empty.” Larissa was so nervous she could hear her voice quivering. “The room was dark. I didn’t think anyone was there.”

“There was, though, wasn’t there?”

“Yes … Moon. I didn’t realize it was him until I went back downstairs. I thought he was still at the bar. He heard me come into the room and thought I was a girl named Echo, or Ember. I don’t remember which. One of those two. I pretended that I was her because I was too foolish to admit why I didn’t want to be caught out in the hall.” Larissa twisted her car keys in her hands nervously. “From there, everything just snowballed, and I … we had sex,” she finally finished in a rush of words.

“He knows.” Winter’s expression didn’t reveal her thoughts.

Larissa felt the color seeping out of her face. “He does?”

“Oh, not that it was you exactly,” Winter relieved her fear. “But that he had sex with a woman whom he hadn’t been intimate with before.”

“I want to tell him. I’m just not sure how. I mean, I’ve only talked to him a few times, and neither of those times were the best opportunity to introduce myself as being the woman he had a one-night stand with, which he didn’t know he was having.”

Winter burst into laughter. “Moon’s pride would be wounded if you considered it a one-night stand.”

Larissa bit her lip. “He’s going to kill me, isn’t he?”

Winter tilted her head to the side. “Why would you believe that?”

“From the few interactions I’ve had with him in town, we didn’t exactly hit it off. I think it’s safe to say neither of us like each other.”

“Yet you had no difficultly the night you had sex with him?”

“He didn’t talk much.”

Winter laughed so hard she reached for a tissue from a box on the desk. “Moon is nicer the less he talks.” Wiping the corner of her eyes, she finally managed to stop laughing.
