"I'm just tired, Preston," she repeated. She held her pillow closer to her and tried to go to sleep.

"What?" he asked in shock. Karma rolled her eyes and bit her bottom lip. I am so tired. Why won't he go to sleep, she thought to herself.

"Karma, you're kidding, right?" he asked. He sat up and pushed her on her back.

"Preston, I'm sorry but I've had a long day. I'm tired."

"You could have slept over your house. Why would you come over here just to sleep?" he responded. His chest shined from the moonlight flowing through the window. She looked at him in amazement. She had never seen him like this before and didn't really know how to handle it.

"What's the matter?" she asked. She sat up beside him and watched his attitude get worse and worse.

"What do you mean what's the matter? I didn't call you today to sleep with you."

"What do you mean?" she repeated.

"You've been tired for weeks now. I'm getting tired of you being tired."  She completely sat up this time and crossed her arms. She opened her mouth to speak but he beat her to it.

"What's going on?"

"What are you talking about? I've been taking exams; I've been studying and helping my mother with her garden. I'm just tired."

He brushed her off while turning over on his right side. He had his back facing her without saying a word. 

"Preston?"

He answered her by pulling the blanket closer to his face.

"Preston? You can't really be mad at me just because I'm tired?"

He still didn't answer. She placed her hand on his arm and tried to pull him over.

"Preston? Say something."

"Don't touch me unless you're touching this dick."

She leaned back and almost choked on his words. She could not believe that he was acting like this. It didn't sound like him at all and she didn't know what to do. She rolled quickly onto her left side and sighed loudly to make sure he heard her. She pulled the blanket over her shoulder and suddenly felt a sting of guilt. It crept up on her and she couldn't kick it away. She blinked her eyes hard and tried to keep her tears from coming.  She hated when he was mad at her, especially for something that she couldn't really control. She really was tired but she didn't want him to leave her. He's told her in different conversations that his wife was always tired and she didn't have sex with him as much as he wanted. That was the main reason why he found her. Karma's sex drive was in full speed when they first met. Lately, though, she's had more on her plate and it took more of her energy. Instead of having sex every day for 4 hours straight, now they were only having sex every couple of days and maybe 1 ½. Just because she was tired didn't mean that she shouldn't satisfy him. She didn't want him to feel neglected and she really didn't want him to be reminded of his wife. She sighed again, this time slightly quieter and rolled over on her back. She then rolled again and started kissing the back of his neck. His back and the back of his neck were a few of his sexual spots and she knew it. She slid her right hand under the blanket and rubbed his arm. She rubbed his stomach and then went to the area of his choice. She went under his boxers and started giving him a sensual hand massage.

"Mmm…" he moaned from under his breath.  She smiled with him as her hand moved faster from his shaft to his head. He moved a little to left and she met him with a kiss. They started moaning in unison while he started pulling down her panties. He got on his knees and got on top of her. He pulled off her shirt and cupped both of her breasts.  He placed butterfly kisses on every inch and then sucked on her nipples one by one. He kicked off his boxers and they fell next to her shirt. He held her close as she put him inside of her.

"Damn, baby," he said as he held her legs in the air, "You just don't know how good you feel. Why would you deprive me of this?"

She let out a faint laugh and felt him plunge in and out of her. She held onto him as he began to go faster. She closed her eyes and bit on her bottom lip and began to have a feeling of delight rush over her body. Her body started shaking and twitching in a way that only he had seen. Her sugar walls started gripping on him and the feeling of adrenalin came over her. Their sweat melted together in a love stench right when her body locked up from pleasure. She was breathing so loud that she didn't even hear him saying her name. She loved when he moaned her name. The sound of it made her hotter and it was an incredible feeling. He was saying her name instead of his wife's. At that split thought, she knew she was in the middle of an ocean crashing orgasm. She creamed all over him and she released everything from stress to exhaustion. He wiped his chin and forehead for leftover sweat and laughed aloud. He got up and looked at himself.

"And you said you were tired!"

He laughed while walking to the bathroom and jumped in the shower. She laid there in a misty bliss and felt herself falling into a somber like sleep.

            "You have to tell him, Karma." Karma looked up at the ceiling and sighed. She instantly regretted saying anything. She looked at Elise and said, "Why?"

"What do you mean, why? You have to tell him."

Elise was Karma's next-door neighbor. They've hung out a couple of times and it was all-good. Naomi didn't really care for her. She thought that she was too loud and flamboyant with her shit. Elise didn't care who was watching her or if they could hear her, as long as she was seen and heard. She was the one who thought being an escort would be a fun job.

Karma fell back on the couch and sighed loudly. A sharp migraine started to pound into her head.

"Have you guys ever talked about it before?"

"What? Kids?  Not us having kids. He's told me that his wife can't have kids. But…no." Karma covered her face with her sweaty hands and yelled between them.

"What am I going to do, Elise?"

"You have to tell him. What else can you do?" Elise got up from the couch and walked over the kitchen and poured herself some fruit punch.

"Hold up. I thought you were on the pill." Karma closed her eyes and answered, "Remember when I told you that after a couple of months, I was getting sick. I stopped taking it."

Elise gulped it down in one swallow like a shot of liquor and poured herself another.

"Okay, what about condoms?"

Karma couldn't even answer that question. She would have just lied and said that they had been using them but what would that do? She lied there in silence and waited for Elise to speak her mind. "So there wasn't any form of birth control and now you're pregnant. Well, I can say is that you need to talk to him about it."
