Adam remained thoughtful for a few minutes, and after Jenna had left, he went to his office to sort out everything that needed sorting out. The first thing he did was to call his helicopter pilot and tell him that a couple would be staying in his building that weekend, and that he wanted them to be well received and taken care of. He also told him to arrange a guide to take them to the best places and restaurants. Then he was about to contact his allies about taking over entire continents when he was interrupted by Kate. His gaze showed his displeasure at the interruption, but he stared at her, waiting for her to say what she wanted, because he didn't trust making plans in front of her.
"Can I help?" He asked, looking impatiently at her when he realized she was hesitating.
"Adam... Why are you treating me like this? I thought that, with our marriage, I'd be more respected. But you let your men have all the fun, while you talk about our intimacies in front of everyone..."
Adam took a deep breath.
"What do you want, Kate? I have business to attend to."
She glared at him.
"Well, you're going to have to solve my problem first!"
"Then tell me what the problem is!" He said, losing patience. "Did you look at me? I'm not fucking psychic!"
Kate stared at him hurt.
"I want you to order your men, all of them, to respect me as your wife."
"Is that all you want?"
"Will you do what I ask?"
"Yes. None of them will touch you anymore. They won't even say a word to you."
Kate took a step back. It wasn't what she wanted.
"That's not what I want. Just tell them to be discreet about our intimacy and not to tell anyone else about what happens in the bedroom..."
"You can't have both at the same time, Kate. How do you want them to respect you when you're smearing their cum on every hole in your body?"
Mmmmmmm
Kate looked at him thoughtfully. He had a point in that conclusion.
"They shouldn't take me off the table anymore, in front of other people, as if I were their bitch."
"Kate... You're their bitch. It's all or nothing. Think about it, and then tell me. I don't want to, I can't, and I'm not going to put a leash on them, I'm not going to impose limits, locking them up and letting them go when it suits you." Adam said and became thoughtful. "You need to remember that we're not human, and our behaviors and desires shouldn't be controlled. You, Kate, just because you're human, are seen by all werewolves as inferior. If they want you, and you want to welcome them into your bed, you'll have to accept it however they choose."
Kate was furious, but she didn't want to keep confirming Adam on that subject, because she knew he might make it so that she had nowhere else to find a source of pleasure.
"What about the two of us?
"Do you want even more men in your bed? All the werewolves around this house are going to fuck you, Kate. They won't need me for that."
"I want to have a family with you."
"You know that's not going to happen. I don't want to hurt you, but I can't look at you and not feel disgusted. My life of orgies is over. That's not how I want to go on living my life."
Kate stared at him, clearly feeling insulted. She would prove to Adam that he didn't have the option of not forming a family with her. Kate would take everything away from him.
"We'll talk over dinner." She said and left. At that moment, she needed to talk to Sarah, and demand her money back.
...
Meredith is the name of the obstetrician appointed by the doctor to look after Anna's pregnancy.
She was a plump woman with an affable smile, around fifty years old, who exuded experience and competence.
Anna and Maxwell felt confident with her. Anna, because she sympathized with her gentle manner, and Maxwell, because she knew the secret surrounding the whole process of Anna's pregnancy, and was conducting everything so that everyone would believe it was a normal pregnancy. She had mastered every obstacle.
Meredith looked at Anna's scan on her computer and pressed a buzzer.
Within seconds, a nurse entered and looked seductively at Maxwell, oblivious to Anna standing next to him.
"Prepare the ultrasound room, please?" Dr. Meredith asked formally.
"She's ready, Doctor. Doctor Alex asked me to have it ready for when you need it." The nurse said, glancing at the couple, and then staring at Maxwell suggestively.
Anna was furious, but pretended not to notice.
"Then wait for me there." The obstetrician said, and turned to Anna and Maxwell as soon as the nurse had left. "You'll need to take care of your diet, and I'll also give you vitamins. You have anemia, Anna. Do you understand?"
"Yes."
"Very well." She said and stood up. "Now, let's find out how far along you are, and how the baby is doing. Please follow me." She said and they left the office behind her.
As soon as they entered the room, the nurse presented them with a nightgown with the hospital logo printed in small letters in her hands, handed it to Anna and guided her to the connecting bathroom to change. She was then given two bottles of water and told to drink them slowly. But Anna drank quickly, as she was very anxious. Anna frowned. The water was different, but she couldn't explain the sensation she felt when she had finished the second bottle.
Anna came out of the bathroom, and the nurse was waiting for her, and this time she took her to a bed, which looked very comfortable, and made her lie down on it. She used a lever to move the bed, and Anna was almost sitting up.
Maxwell was already in a comfortable armchair next to her and took her hand, while the nurse positioned a small screen next to Anna's belly, where there was a swivel chair.
The obstetrician sat down on the chair, gloves in hand, and turned to Anna holding a tube of gel.
"You'll feel a little warm with this gel, dear. Don't be alarmed." She said and squeezed the gel.
And just as she warned, it happened. Anna felt a little warmth, but it was pleasant.
With the device, Meredith began to spread the gel all over Anna's belly and images appeared on the screen that Anna couldn't make out.
Maxwel watched attentively.
