Larissa gave her a sad smile. “A little.”

Priss frowned. “What’s wrong?”

Picking up the ink pen on her desk, she put it in the revolving pen caddy. “I’m probably being oversensitive,” she admitted glumly.

“Are you experiencing some postpartum depression?”

“No.” Larissa started fiddling with her caddy.

“Larissa … what aren’t you telling me?”

Larissa moved her hand away from the caddy to lay it flat on the desk. “We haven’t had sex since Jace was born. It’s been three months. I told him there’s no reason we can’t. I even put my birth control pills on the vanity in our bathroom to show him I’m taking them.” Larissa felt her cheeks flush. She had never really confided in either of her sisters about her sex life before, but she was tired of holding it inside.

Priss seemed unsure as to what to say. “Uh … have you come out and told him you want to have sex?”

“I’ve done everything but say it out loud. I tried to take a shower with him last night …” Staring at a picture hanging on the wall rather than looking at her sister, she felt herself turn redder. “He got out and said he didn’t want us both out of earshot of Jace. Then I told him I would bring the monitor into the bathroom.”

Priss’ frown deepened. “What did he say?”

“That by the time I did that, he would be done showering.”

Priss grimaced. “Ouch.”

“Yeah.” Glumly, Larissa started turning the caddy again.

“Maybe he just wants to make sure you’re healed. He could be worried about losing control and hurting you.”

“Maybe.” She was skeptical. She didn’t buy that reason at all. Something was going on with Moon since Jace’s birth.

“You don’t believe that’s the case.”

“Not really. Moon has never lost control during sex.” Larissa worried her bottom lip. “I don’t think he wants me. Why should he? He has a clubhouse full of sexy women, waiting to give him anything he wants.”

“You really think he’s cheating, don’t you?”

“No.”

Priss’ gaze sharpened on her. “You don’t sound too sure.”

“Is any women a hundred perfect sure her boyfriend isn’t cheating?”

“I don’t know. I haven’t ever been in a serious relationship to judge.”

“I’m probably just overthinking what’s going on. We just had a baby; he is most likely adjusting to being a father. Like I said, I’m probably overthinking it.” Bolstered by her talk with Priss, she grinned at her. “I could go home tonight, and he could be ready to rock my world.”

Priss gave her a thumbs-up. “There you go. There’s the sister I know and love. I’m not used to you being so down.” Breezily walking across the office, she gave her a mischievous look. “By the way, it couldn’t hurt if you’re wearing something to knock his socks off when he gets home.”

“You know, I might stop and pick up something up on the way home.”

Larissa finished up the chart she was working on, then told Priss she was leaving a little early. Feeling in a much better mood, she drove to the clothing store on Main Street, next to King’s restaurant. When she was unable to find a parking spot on the street in front of the store, she parked in King’s parking lot at the side of the restaurant.

Once she was inside the clothing store, she wandered around the different departments, unsure of what she was looking for. About to give up and make another shopping trip with one of her sisters, she sighted a pale blue maxi dress. She carried it to the dressing room to try it on.

It made her feel like a million bucks. It accentuated her newfound bust before it fell loosely around her waist, hiding her baby belly. Spinning, she saw the back was bare except for on lone tie in the middle. She had never known her back could look sexy. Would Moon think so? There was only one way to find out.

Excited about getting home and changing into her new dress before Moon came home, she checked out then rushed to her car.

She opened the rear car door and had just laid the dress over the back seat when she heard motorcycles passing on the street.

Recognizing Viper at the front of the massive group of motorcyclists following after him, instead of getting into the car, she waited to see Moon so she could wave to him.

Smiling, she waited for him to pass by, and she was beginning to think he wasn’t riding with the group when she spotted him.

Her smile faltered and died. A woman she didn’t recognize was riding on the back of his motorcycle. The woman had her whole body pressed against Moon, with her arms wound tightly around his waist. Resting her chin on Moon’s shoulder, she was cheek to cheek with him.

Larissa waited until the last motorcycle passed by before she got into the car. Automatically, she drove home.
