Page 270 of Soft For A Roi

Barely touching.

Like, I didn’t want to disturb it.

Ares crossed my mind instantly.

His world.

My past.

The timing.

The family drama.

I didn’t say anything else.

The appointment finished on a good note.

No extra questions.

No panic.

Just… information and prenatal pills.

I walked out the same way I came in.

Veil down.

Head clear.

But my thoughts?

Loud.

$$$$$

The ride home felt longer.

By the time I got back to the house, I felt… disconnected and tired.

Like I was moving, but not really inside my body.

I went straight to my room.

Laid down.

And let sleep take me.

I don’t know how long I was out, but when I woke up, the sun was setting.

“Wake up, ma belle.” I heard Ares’ voice.

Soft.

Close.

My eyes opened slowly.

He stood over me, already dressed, looking like he had somewhere to be but chose to get me first.
