Hallow Dear,
You have not made use of condom once. You do not know whether it was during your fertile window of the cycle or not. Fertile window is about a week's period around the day of egg release (ovulation), which happens to be 14 days prior to next expected menses. Though he has not ejaculated during this intercourse, there is always a possibility of deposition of pre-ejaculatory secretions (precum) in the vagina. Precum is deposited unknowingly without any sensations to both the partners. Precum contains some amount of sperms sufficient to fertilize the egg.
So it is wise to look for the evidence of pregnancy. Now, your period is delayed by 6 days. So after a couple of days perform pregnancy test on overnight first morning urine sample; earlier, there are chances of false negative results. Alternatively you may opt for Beta hCG test any time today onwards. Either of these tests will inform you the status of pregnancy.
I hope this will help you today.
