Chapter 236: The secret under the pillow

Beau.

"Hey,’’ I walk into the room and he jumps up from the bed hiding something under the pillow. I raise a brow because he looks suspicious as fuck right now. All week, he has been acting weird—like there is something that he doesn’t want to tell me. I don’t like that my mind is going in this direction but I have tried to read him and every time I think I have figured it out, he closes off again.

"How was the meeting?’’ he asks me but all my mind is on what he did. I can swear, that I saw something. He kept something away from me. We are like open books to each other.

What are you hiding Lanis?

"Very good actually. There was a sighting a couple of towns away. It seems like Fallon is hiding at a motel."

Just hearing that made my whole day. This week has been exciting for me. After Alby told me congratulations, I have been trying to find out if it has happened and Alby said I would know—that I will feel it. Nothing seems different, apart from whatever he is keeping from me.

I walk over to the bed, usually, when I come from a meeting, I have a shower but right now I just want to be close to him. I want to feel him, know if there is anything different. I crawl into the bed, completely ignoring him as he tries to cover the pillow. Whatever he is hiding will come to light. I know he can’t keep a secret from me for too long. Eventually, he will tell me whatever it is. Right now, I am not even focused on him. Lately, he has been glowing a lot. Lanis has always been pale—I guess all vampires are pale but recently, there has been colour on his face. I know this might all be my wishful thinking. I want this so badly that my brain is seeing things. Concocting what is not real. I rest my head on his chest and he starts to play with my hair. Slowly, my eyes begin to close. There is just something about being in his arms that makes me calm and relaxed. It feels like I am floating on clouds. The euphoria that is my man is encompassing.

"He is such a coward,’’ he brings up Fallon again and I fall from the clouds immediately. I don’t want to talk about Fallon because it just upsets me "His time will come, don’t you worry about that,’’ I assure him because he is as worried as I am.

I climb on top of him and he chuckles playfully "Someone has missed me,’’ I exclaim as I feel him against me.

He hides his face in my chest and I sniff him all over his body. My heart is racing right now, I want more and he seems to want the same things. I smash my lips to him and he moans into my mouth, welcoming every bit of intimacy we are about to share. My hand slides to his chest and he slides his tongue into my mouth. I taste him and the delicious sweetness makes me want more.

Almost reflex, my hand slides over to his stomach. I just want to feel something, anything that will tell me that it has happened. It’s ridiculous how eager I am about this. I haven’t even told him about it all. I don’t want to put any pressure on him. I don’t want him to start looking forward to it in case it is not time. I need him to just relax while my babies form fully. I feel him stiffen as my hand goes over his shirt. His body isn’t even as cold as it used to me. I already know there are changes in him but he hasn’t said anything to me—that is why I think it is all in my head. I don’t want to overwhelm him.

He pulls away from me immediately and this confuses me. "What’s wrong?’’ I ask him, worried that I have done something.

He shakes his head and manages a faint smile. It is not completely sincere, which makes me worry even more "Did I do something?’’ I start to think the worst because of all the things that he has been hiding from me spring up in my mind. I don’t want to be suspicious of him because he is the only person I trust one hundred percent.

He wouldn’t lie to me.

"No, I am just very tired right now,’’ his words have me thinking that he doesn’t want me right now, which is very weird because he always wants me.

"You don’t feel tired,’’ I reach for his dick and he moans as I grab on to him. He closes his eyes and for a second I want to tease him but I also don’t want to do anything that he doesn’t want to do. If he says he is tried right now, then I will believe him. I won’t put pressure on him or force him to fuck me right now. That is not the kind of person that I am. I won’t become that person.

Slowly I pull my hand away from him and he opens his eyes "I am going to take a shower,’’ I tell him, detaching from him completely. I see the guilt-ridden expression on his face. I know he regrets it but I am not even upset. I know if this is something he needs to talk to me about, he will.

Whatever it is must be hard for him.

After my shower, I come back into the room and he is not inside. He didn’t say anything before leaving but I am sure he just went to get some blood refill from the kitchen. Thinking about it, I haven’t seen him drink blood in a while.

Maybe that is another change. Something that comes with the pregnancy. I am so excited about and it seems like he doesn’t even want to talk to me about all the changes in me.

I walk over to the bed and my heart races. I know I shouldn’t do this but I am curious to see what he hid under the pillow. My hands tremble as I reach for the pillow on his side of the bed. This not like me but I need to know. The moment the pillow comes off and I see the packet of chocolate chip cookies, my confusion expands.

This doesn’t seem like something he needed to hide but at the same time, I get why he would hide this. Lanis doesn’t eat unless I force him too. Vampires don’t have regular taste buds as we do. They don’t get pleasure in food like a regular person. So that would explain why he hid the snack.

There is only one thing that runs through my mind and it is exciting. I don’t understand why this is some sort of secret.

Why did he feel the need to hide it?

What is going on?
