In the car as he pulled out of the driveway, she began to talk to him.


??Do you know why he beat me??? she asked.


??Sotolongo has a temper.?? Landon said neutrally.


??He wants a baby. He fucks me every couple of nights. All three minutes of dealing with him huffing and puffing on top of me??It??s been a year. No baby.??


Landon wasn??t sure what to say in response. ??Do you want a child???


??What I want is irrelevant, but what I would like, is for him not to hit me anymore. I think he??s shooting blanks.??


??I??m afraid if I don??t get pregnant soon, he??ll kill me.??


??Do you have someone you can go to??? Landon asked.


??No. I don??t have any money of my own and no friends to speak of. I want you to have sex with me and get me pregnant.??


??I??m not asking you to love me or raise my baby or anything. I need to get pregnant and??you??re at least not nasty.?? She paused a moment. ??And you??re kind of hot.??
