Chapter 18

Emily's POV

I was baffled by my mother's question. "Preg... nant? Mom, are you crazy? Of course I'm not pregnant. I've always been careful when it comes to having sex... I..."

I paused as memories of the heated night with Sebastian flooded my mind. He sneaked me away to his bedroom and to his hot awaiting Jacuzzi, and once there, we had the most passionate night of our lives.

"I'm always careful." I finished but I knew I was lying. I missed my levonorgestrel pills the morning after because I forgot to walk with them and when I got back to the hotel, pills weren't even on my mind.

"Okay." My mother simply said and I knew she wouldn't leave it at that. If one thing I was certain on about my mother, it's unfinished business whenever she's calm.

I swallowed the fear, and my senses tasted the imaginary liquid at the back of my throat. I walked out the bathroom and went back to the bedroom. I was still sleepy.
