Chapter 180 How It Happened
Kristen's POV
"We met at the club, and heck I wasn't drunk. I had someone else with me and your husband's beta was already in the company of women. My escort turned out to be a jerk, he wanted to forcefully take me inside the club's restroom, despite all of my protests, and Bruce happened to stop by. Guess he had his eyes on me the entire time," Maddy's voice sounds muffled because she's snarfing down some chocolate chip cookies.
I am still stupefied as she narrates her very first night with Bruce. We're in my car, with all the guards
excused. And I am letting my best friend talk as much as she wants because she's a bit at ease with just me alone.
"Bruce saved me from the retard, he drove me home in his car. And when I invited him for drinks, it just happened," her mouth is full when she takes a gulp, and it makes her eyes even watery because she was in tears earlier.
"Was it once?" I ask in the most friendliest way
possible because I don't want to sound offensive upon knowing she's not in a good mood.
"No, I can't even count the amount of times we've fucked because he's huge down there, and he knows out to use his cock. Like he's fucks for a living," Sapphire throws the cookie bag aside, ours her hand on her face, and sighs as if she's recollecting those
moments.
Gulping uncomfortably, I school my face into a neutral expression because I am not so comfortable with my best friend describing the penis of my husband's beta. Someone who I see almost every single day. He hangs around Calhoun like a fly and does more than his Beta duties.
The thing is, I never imagined him having sex with someone like Sapphire and now that I do, it's just so weird. The two of them have different personalities. How were they able to get that mutual understanding of being fuck buddies?
Although Bruce can be goofy at times, he's a collected and very thoughtful person. Always wearing executive business suits, because he's my husband's beta and right-hand man in everything. And Sapphire, on the other hand, is wild. Dresses half-naked and makes advances at men when she wants to sleep with them.
"I don't like him but I am addicted to his cock. The way he fucks can make a girl forget her name," Sapphire adds, staring at me with huge, innocent honey-brown eyes.
Oh, sweet baby Selene. How can she be so raw about this? I doubt I'll ever be able to look at Bruce as the
same.
"I never imagined myself getting pregnant along the way, I mean since Bruce, I've stopped meeting with my other sexual partners. There are times when I go to the Moon goddess's temple and I can't concentrate, all I can think about is Bruce's cock drilling into me. Sometimes I can't even walk
properly for days because of the sex. He's like a beast in bed. Fucks all night long." Sapphire concludes breathlessly because she's been talking without stopping.
"Okay, can you slow down and take a deep breath to calm yourself?" I almost yell. Because I feel weird like
I am getting turned on from her talks about Calhoun's Beta. Maybe, just maybe I want to fuck
Calhoun, but I need to be here for my friend because
she's confused as hell.
"Do you think I'm a slut for sleeping with Bruce?" Again, Sapphire glances at me like she isn't the fiery- tempered girl that I know.
"No, but you never cared what people think about you anyway, why bother now?" I twitch a brow.
"Because I'm carrying his child, damnit!" Sapphire clamps her hand on her mouth and sobs some more.
"Just calm down, it's not the end of the world," I don't even know what else to tell her except this.
"I don't know what to do," her sobs quickly diesdown as if she was faking it all along. But I know my best friend, her mood changes in 0.5 seconds.
Touching my bottom lip with the tip of my tongue, and squinting to show her how serious I am, I ask, " Do you want to have this baby?"
"I don't know either... Bruce is a male horn wolf, he keeps several women for pleasure and I know I'm a side piece. I don't think I'd want to settle down with that kind of person. He wouldn't want to be with me either. We're both untamed but differently," Sapphire's shoulders sag in worry.
"It's a good thing you aren't thinking about aborting the baby, which means with or without Bruce, you're going to keep it," Throwing my arm around her shoulders, I give her a quick one-arm hug.
"Why are you being so nice to me?" Sapphire raps out.
"Because I'm your friend and you need me," I say with a smile. Meaning every word.
"You ought to judge me for sleeping with Bruce,"
Sapphire pulls away from the hug and fixes her eyes on her hands that are settled on top of her thighs.
"I'm not a saint either, I slept with my mom's husband on their wedding night." This isn't something I am proud of and it might be wrong to try cheering her up with this reminder, but I can't find
anything else to tell her.
"Gee, since when did you become so outspoken?" Sapphire sniffs and tucks her hair behind her hair, as
she looks at me.
"Since I became Luna," I say.
Sapphire purses her lips and nods thoughtfully.
"You're gonna tell him, right?" I inquire, my voice is even louder than earlier.
"Tell Bruce about the pregnancy?" Sapphire blinks in confusion, although she knows who I am referring to.
"Yes," I give her a quick nod.
"What if he thinks I'm trying to trap him, so he'll
stop living as a bachelor? He can be snarky, irritable,
and over the edge at times," Sapphire points out with a slight frown.
Woah, from numerous times of copulation without sharing any form of desire apart from that, she knows
a lot about Bruce already.
"But are you sure he's the father?" My eyes are lowering into a squint at this because my best friend can be forgetful at times.
"I swear I haven't had a different cock in me for the
past four months," Sapphire looks dead serious, something which gives out that she's telling the complete truth.
Woah, they've been having sex for four months and
she kept it away from me? Even Bruce is such a traitor. He pretended the whole time as if he wasn't having sex with my spitfire best friend.
"You should tell him," I say after a short pause.
"I can't," Sapphire shakes her head in disapproval. More like she's scared, something which is rather new. Because she has always been the bold one between me, her, and Maddy.
"You have to," I try to convince her.
But she just shrugs and fumbles with her hands.
"It's hard, I don't want him denying or calling me a slut," She lets this out quietly
"How about I invite you over to dinner tonight, just
you, me, and our men?" I deliberately add the last part to see her reaction.
"Don't say that, Bruce isn't my man," Sapphire rolls her eyes in their sockets.
"Okay, fine. You can sit next to him and break the news to him afterward," I don't know where this is coming from but I don't want Sapphire to keep the
news away from Bruce either. She might want to end their sexual relationship by telling him she's pregnant for someone else. Yes, that's Sapphire. She
may seem vulnerable right now because the pregnancy news came as a shock. But once she wants to get her life together, she can be strong-willed.
"Hey," I nudge her shoulder with mine because she's silent, having a rethink about my suggestion.
"Won't it be suspicious? Just the four of us? Moreover, Maddy is also our friend and she's supposed to be there too," she states matter of factly.
"Then it should be a little feast, I'll invite ten more people and it'll make things less suspicious. I am Luna, after all, I can host feasts with a small amount
of guests when I choose to. Calhoun wouldn't mind either," I make this known to Sapphire. "You don't have to go through so much stress for me,
" She seems unsure of this but there's still a hint of gratefulness in her tone
"Well, not for you alone. I also have news for Calhoun, "I announce.
"Oh my god, you're pregnant, again?" Sapphire's mouth parts in disbelief. How come it never crossed her mind when we met at the same maternity section? Guess she was preoccupied with her worries to think about anything else.
Smiling, I give her a quick nod. "Sweet fuck! Aiden is barely nine months old!"
Sapphire cannot hide her astonishment upon hearing this from me.
And it builds a smile on my face.
Taking her hand in mine, I give her a reassuring smile.
"Tonight, my friend, we'll tell our men about the
babies."
