Tasting Candy: Over 60 Erotic Pregnancy Stories

“What’s goin’ on, Asher?” I said with a whimper to my voice.

“Nothing to trouble you,” he said grimly, lookin’ off into the night. “But I can’t leave. Not yet. Like you said, they’ll terrorize you and your ma, at best.”

He left the worst unsaid.

“I gotta stay and make sure they never trouble you again,” he stated darkly, his fists clenched. “Then I’ll be gone and you’ll be finally be safe.”

“But what about what I want?” I said. I didn’t have the power to control the pained sound in my voice, not any more. I was trembling as I stared up at him, petrified of what he meant. That he’d be gone.

Petrified

of what he’d done to get into this in the first place.

He turned to look at me, but dark gaze attempting to be stoic but I could detect the faint glimmer of regret.

“It’s not about what either of us wants now, Shelby. It’s only about what has to be done. Go on inside, get some sleep. I’ve gotta get ready. They could be here at any moment. There’s more than three of them, despite what Marcus said. And we can’t afford to let them get the drop on us.”

“How can I sleep? We should get ma to safety, get her to stay the night at Marcus’. I know she’ll be confused, but if those gangsters come in here...”

Asher took a moment to consider it then nodded.

“You’re right. You both should go over there, while I keep watch here.”

With that he stormed on past me into the house and up the stairs to his room.

I glared at his back for a moment, the rebellious streak in me flarin’ up. There was no way I was stayin’ away and leavin’ him alone, but I put it aside, ‘cause I didn’t wanna fight.

I instead went upstairs, gatherin’ ma’s things.

By the time I was takin’ ma out to the truck, I saw him headin’ out to the tractor shed. Dressed in his leather and jeans again, he looked like a thug who belonged with those men after him. Handsomer than they were by far, sure, but like one of ‘em.

It put a painful contention in my belly.

What’ve you gotten yourself into, Shelby? I thought to myself before quickly pushing it aside. I didn’t have time to question myself. The man I was so attracted to. He had secrets, dark ones. Dangerous men after him.

But I still couldn’t do anything but hope that what I saw in him was who he was.

I pulled out of the driveway, my eyes alert, terrified I’d see one of those bikers headed towards our place.

It didn’t take me long to drive ma over to Marcus’ place, what took the longest was explainin’ the situation enough so that I could leave her there and get goin’ again. I didn’t want to leave Asher on my own farm alone for what was to come, though I had no idea what I’d have to offer to the situation.

By the time I managed to get back in the truck to drive home, it was late. Marcus came up to me, one last time to try and stop me.

“Don’t go back there, Shelby. This is nuts! Don’t you see?” he pleaded.

“I see a man in trouble, Marcus, and I ain’t about to leave him to those brutes. I know you don’t think much of him, but he ain’t been nothin’ but a gentleman, and deserves better than what you did.”

Marcus clung to my door, tryin’ to keep me a moment longer.

“Just ‘cause a fella can put on a smile for a few days don’t make him a gentleman. You don’t know what a savage like him had to do to get tangled up with these sorts. But I can guarantee it weren’t pretty!”

“It weren’t pretty what type of petty thing you did to his bike neither, Marcus,” I said with more of a glare than I intended. “But you did it, and I know you’re not all bad.”

Marcus looked a lil’ stunned, and his grasp loosened, which I took as my sign to pull out and drive on back over to the farm. I came in time to find Asher barrin’ off one of the entrances to the farm house by parkin’ a tractor in front of it.

“What are you doing back here? It’s not safe,” he protested, climbin’ down from the towerin’ tractor.

“I’m not gonna let you take’em all on by your lonesome. We should just take off. Tonight. Just drive ‘til we’re free of them,” I said, though I knew he’d never go for that idea. He’d already been trying to run, and he knew I couldn’t leave ma the way she was.
