Royal Mess (Devil's Knights 2nd Generation 3)

“I don’t believe you.”

I rolled my eyes. “I don’t care.”

He sighed heavily. “Can I come in?”

“I’m naked.” I slapped my hand over my mouth. “I mean, I’m not.” As if anyone wanted to even think about my nine-month pregnant body being naked. I waited to hear Marco gag at the thought.

“I don’t know what to say to that, Royal.”

“You didn’t take the time to think before you spoke?” Marco seemed to always know what to say, no matter the circumstance.

“I’ve never had someone tell me they are naked and then in the next breath tell me they’re not.” He cleared his throat. “You threw me for a loop.”

Good. It was nice to know Marco Banachi was thrown off his game for a second.

“Well, go hop your loop in your room.” Why was I talking like an idiot?

“Hop my loop?” Marco drawled.

I grabbed a pillow and put it over my face. And screamed.

“Royal?” he called again.

I pulled the pillow off my face and tossed it at the door. “Go away, Marco. I’m not fine, but it’s fine that I’m not fine.” Maybe I could say fine one more time just to get my point across.

“If you say so,” he called.

“Fine.” I slapped my hand over my mouth. Do not say another word, Royal.

Marco chuckled. “Good night, Royal.” His footsteps moved away from the door, and I sighed.

I was blaming this whole evening on my pregnancy hormones.

That’s what it had to be.

This little baby was throwing my emotions all out of whack.

I laid my hand on my stomach and sighed. “Soon enough, you’ll be in my arms, and eve

rything will go back to normal.”

Well, as back to normal as they could be.

A new normal.

Grit was gone, but Indiana was back in my life. Along with the Devil’s Knights.

And Marco.

But that was just for however long it took to fix the mess with the Meeks.

Hopefully, I would be able to keep this baby inside until that happened. Right now, I wasn’t ready to bring a baby into this world when there were evil people who wanted me dead.

I just had to hang in there for a little bit longer, and then, I could start my new life.

Hopefully.
