hair and I almost forget what we’re discussing. “Doesn’t matter–not if you’re happy about it.”
    She lowers herself from her tiptoes and presses a second kiss against my collarbone. “I am. But you know what would also make me very happy?”
    All she has to do is tell me and I’ll get it for her. “You only have to ask.”
    A mischievous grins spreads across her face. “I want us to have a place we are free to do what we want without the fear of being overheard. I think we need a soundproof bedroom. Because I have a lot of naughty things I want to do to you.”
    I like the way this girl thinks. “Done. I’ll have someone here in the morning and we’ll put a plan into action immediately.”
    “We are in desperate need of privacy.” She’s rubbing her hands over my chest. “How long will it be before we know?”
    Longer than I want. “I don’t know. I think they can have it ready in about a month. Maybe six weeks if he uses his entire crew.” I’m willing to pay for an army of construction workers to get this done as soon as possible.
    “Four to six weeks sounds great on the bedroom but I meant how long will it be until we know if I’m pregnant?”
    Oh. “I think Chansey was a little bit over two months when she saw Dr. Knight the first time.”
    “But she was in the middle of following Jenn’s transition. I’m sure she didn’t pick up on her missed period because she was preoccupied but I’ll know if I’m a day late. I’m very regular.”
    She’d been very regular since I’d known her. “You should start your menstrual cycle in thirteen days.”
    I don’t have to see her blush to know I’ve embarrassed her. “How do you know that?”
    If I couldn’t smell a drop of blood, I’d have known by her irritable mood. “I’ve been living with you for months. You’re a fertile human woman that bleeds every month. I’m a vampire that can smell a single drop of blood from a hundred yards. I think you can put it together.”
    Her cheeks redden more. “That’s just humiliating. And gross.”
    “I know your body inside and out–even better than you know it yourself.” Now I’m gonna rock her world with the information I tell her next. “I’m even able to sense your ovulation cycle by the way you smell.”
    She steps back and assesses me, the blush still present on her face. Or maybe it’s a flush. “Pray tell, Mister Alexander. How do I smell when I’m ovulating?”
    “Sexy. And horny.” Now it’s me pressing my lips against the side of her neck. “A lot like you smell right now.”
    Her mouth is next to my ear. “And did I smell fertile this morning?”
    Oh, did she ever. “You smelled especially fertile this morning–much more so than usual.”
    “Ohh,” she whispers as I move my mouth down her neck.
    “When we’re like this, your agápe scent is the only smell I can detect. It’s a pheromone that overpowers everything else.” I lift her to sit on my desk and I step between her legs.
    Her hands are allover me at once. “And it makes you want me?”
    Want is an understatement. “Like crazy. You can’t possibly imagine how bad.”
    She’s grinning as she nips my bottom lip. “I bet I can.”

Chapter Nine
    We emerge from my office so we can make our formal announcement to the family but the looks on their faces when we enter the living room tell me they already suspect. Or know. I’m sure they can tell that we just had sex. Her scent is all over me and vice versa. No way I’m telling Avery that. She’d die of mortification if she knew they smelled the mix of our body fluids.
    The family is at full attention without our request. I take Avery’s hand in mine and squeeze it. I’m nervous but one stroke of her thumb gives me that little extra boost of confidence. It’s amazing how she’s always able to give me exactly what I need. “Avery and I have an announcement.”
    “I believe you do.” Thatcher is studying us and paying close attention to the way I’m
