He lifts one side of his lips up in a grin. “Something like that.”
The next few mornings were the same…sick in the morning, then fine the rest of the day. She begins to wonder if it’s possible for Alex to get her pregnant. One evening after work, she goes to a drug store and buys a pregnancy test. Hiding it in her purse, she uses it the next morning. Brushing her teeth, she stares at the test, waiting for the results.
Leaning against the bathroom wall, her arms wrap around her waist, her fingers tapping lightly on her arm. She blows hair off of her face and shifts back and forth. Assuming it’s been two minutes, she looks down at the test.
Picking it up, she heads back into the bedroom. Sitting on the edge of the bed, she runs a finger down Alex’s face. He begins to stretch and wake up. Looking at her, he smiles. “Good morning, beautiful.”
She smiles. “Good morning." Leaning forward, Lisa presses a kiss on the corner of Alex's lips. Pulling back, her fingers glide down his bare chest and she watches him as he yawns. His blond hair is completely messy from the night's sleep, and his blue eyes are still heavy with sleep. "Baby, are you fully awake?"
“Umm, yeah.” He sits up and presses his back against the headboard. Bringing his arms above his head, he stretches, then relaxes again. “Yeah, I’m good. What’s up?”
Lisa smiles, then holds up the test. "I'm pregnant."
Character Development
I hope you’ve enjoyed reading Fallen. Look for the sequel, Redemption, coming soon.
A little about the characters:
Samuel
His character was derived from Archangel Samael. Originally the Angel of Death, he was one of the higher archangels in Heaven before his downfall. Some stories depict him as the most beautiful of angels; and the most cruel, deceitful, manipulative, and seductive.
Stories of Lilith tell about her coming to Archangel Samael and needing guidance. She was found wandering the Dead Sea before she came upon the angel. She wanted to take the souls of men and destroy their children. He saw something dark inside of her and decided to give her what she wanted. He took her soul and made her a succubus. Lilith was damned to Hell, but she received her wish…she preyed upon men in their sleep removing their souls during intercourse.
Due to the sin of taking Lilith’s life and making her a demon, Samael was stripped of his role as the Angel of Death and was cast into Hell. He remained deceptive and seductive to the women in his life and, in the story of Fallen, he became the first incubus.
