Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 1186

When Noreen stepped out of the shower, Seth texted her saying he had left some things at the door and told her to go grab them.

It was only when Noreen opened the bag that she realized it contained a morning-after pill and some healing ointment.

He felt guilty.

Everything had happened so suddenly the night before that they hadn't used any protection, so he felt terrible having to ask her to take the pill. He promised he would be prepared next time.

Noreen held the small box, staring into space for a long moment.

Honestly... she didn't need to take it. The doctor had explicitly told her that her chances of getting pregnant were astronomically low. In fact, it was highly likely she could never conceive again.

So the pill was entirely unnecessary.

As for how far she and Seth would go, or how long this would last... Noreen didn't think about it, and she refused to dwell on it. She only cared about the present.

Right now, being with him made her happy. That was enough. And if the day ever came when their paths diverged, she could accept that too.

In this world, nothing was more important than loving yourself.

Noreen tossed the pill box into the trash and reached for the tube of ointment instead. The familiar packaging made her cheeks burn hot.

From last night to this afternoon, they had gone at it five times. Which meant Seth had applied the ointment for her five separate times.

Even though he was just rubbing in the medicine, the intense way he did it made it feel like they had done it ten times.

Mortified, she shoved the ointment deep into a drawer, vowing to never look at it again.

Naturally, Seth texted her right at that moment. "Remember to use the ointment."

"I'll be gentler next time."
