Chapter 13
Piper
How the hell was Isupposed to pick just one of them to come visit me?
That was like asking me to pick a favorite star in the sky. A favorite donut out of the donut holes. Fucking impossible.
On the subject of donuts, I could really go for something sweet right now. Oooo and some cheese. I would kill for a block of cheddar cheese.
I looked up from the book I was pretending to read to where Agnes stared at the television. The woman had a serious problem. From the moment they put it in my room, she has spent every moment she could watching it.
We burned over the pregnancy related videos pretty quickly and now she is deep into season four of some comedy about a bunch of scientists. I didn’t get it. I liked my television with a bit more drama and a whole lot more sex.
I shifted in my seat, a sudden urge to find that toy Drake sent came over me. I just hoped that Agnes was too absorbed in her show to notice my arousal. Though, the fact that it was basically my constant state of being nowadays I would think she was used to it.
If I wasn’t so horny, I was seriously looking at Tuma in a different light, then I was crying from not being able to find my favorite shoes. Then there was the fact that every single piece of clothing I had made my nipples ache and I wanted nothing more than to lay around naked but noooo I couldn’t do that here.
I just wanted to go home.
“You seem distressed,” Agnes shifted her gaze away from the television albeit reluctantly.
I flicked my eyes up at her. “You think?”
Agnes picked the controller up and paused the show. “Would you like to talk about it?”
I picked up my cup of herbal tea, an atrocious invention but better than nothing and asked, “Uh...with you?”
Shrugging, Agnes shifted in her seat and turned to me, her hands in her lap. “We have no one else to talk to. I am bound by my blood bond to Tuma to serve as he instructs and he commands I take care of you. I would assume that means not only physically but emotionally. And since I cannot do anything as of yet about your current condition,” she gestured to my growing stomach. “I can at least try and help you with your emotional one. Unless you would like me to help you relieve your rising libido?”
Choking on my tea, I coughed for several moments earning me a hard pat on the back from Agnes. I waved her off and sat my tea down. “What now?”
Agnes moved back to her seat and calmly explained, “Well, as I understand it, about this time in your progression your libido will be on the rise and seeing as none of your lovers are available you must be...how do I put this?” she hummed and then flashed her fangs at me. “Going batshit crazy?”
I snorted and then after a moment threw my head back and laughed. I laughed so hard that I ended up going into another coughing fit. Chuckling, I shook my head. “Yeah. I guess so. But I think I’m good, thanks anyway.”
“Very well,” Agnes pursed her lips and then cocked her head to the side. “Besides your raging libido what else can I help you with?”
Dragging my foot up under me, I looked at Agnes. “Look, I appreciate your offer to help but I don’t really think this is something you can help me with.”
Arching a brow, Agnes retorted, “I’ve been alive for several hundred years. There is nothing you can say that I will be surprised by.”
I sighed and gave up. “Fine. Tuma said I could have one of the guys come to visit and he wants me to choose one of them to come.”
“And...”
“And I don’t know which one to choose. How can I choose?” I sank down into the couch and groaned. “It’s like freaking choosing between...between...” I grunted and lamely finished, “...between one hard thing and another.”
“I see.”
Agnes didn’t say anything for a long moment and then proposed something to me that I hadn’t thought of.
“Which one at this point in time would help you with your current condition?” She eyed my belly pointedly.
Rubbing a hand over my belly, I pressed my lips together firmly. “Well...I don’t know. It’s hard to imagine any of them with a baby. I mean, none of the vampires put it there.”
“I understand.” Agnes nodded. “It is near impossible that any of the vampires were able to impregnate you. It is most likely the offspring of the human servant.”
“Uh...yeah. What you said.”
