And now he was here and I was afraid. What if he didn’t want the baby? From everything I’d learned about him, which wasn’t a lot, he was a solitary animal who liked going his own way. So I had to treasure these few moments just in case he sent me away again after learning the truth.
I soaked his shirt before he was able to get me to stop. By then the car was in motion. I tried to avoid his eyes but he lifted my chin with his finger and just stared down at me. There was a look of wonder on his face that I didn’t understand until his hand came down and covered my stomach.
My breath hitched; he knew, but how? I didn’t get the chance to ask because his lips covered mine in a mind-blowing kiss just then. I clutched at him like a lost puppy until his arms wrapped around me so tight it was hard to breathe. I didn’t care. I never wanted that hug to end. After weeks of misery I was finally back where I wanted to be.

I’d been standing there behind her unsure of what to do. My natural instinct was to pick my woman and child up and get the hell outta there. But there were too many damn witnesses and not enough bullets.
For the first time in a long while I wasn’t sure how to proceed, and then she’d taken out the phone and I saw the picture. It was a jolt to the system seeing the way she ran her finger over my face on the screen. She couldn’t possibly still hate me if she was sitting in here alone doing that shit.
My dick, which was already hard at the first sight of her, went on high alert and that was enough for me. Whether she missed me or not, or wanted me in her life, she was carrying my child. She’d given me the perfect excuse to make the move I’d been dying to for weeks. Now she’s sitting on my lap as we make our way through the streets to home.
I guess she could hear the wild beating of my heart once she stopped her crying shit since she had her ear pressed against my chest. I held her a little closer and turned her face up to mine to clean it. Her eyes were bright and unsure. “Hi baby.” She wiped her hands across her face like a five year old and tried to sit up.
“Where’re you going? Stay where I put you.” She gave me a look like she was gonna mouth off but her runaway pulse told me she liked that shit. “You’re still bossy.”
“Yeah and. What the fuck did you think, that I was gonna change in a few weeks?”
“You shouldn’t swear at me.” She played with the buttons of my shirt.
“And why is that?”
“Because.”
“Yeah that’s an answer.” I had the urge to grin.
“I knew your ass was gonna make me soft. Fuck.” She pouted and I wanted to bite her lip, but the two in the front were mighty quiet which meant they were listening to my shit. I’ll wait ‘til I get her home and empty my balls for the first time in weeks.
“You’re adorable.” For now I just ran my thumb over her bottom lip and pulled it back in surprise when she tried to bite me. Well now. My little kitty wants to play.
I brushed her blonde curls back from her face and kissed her nose making her giggle and she moved her ass on my cock that was poking into it. “Behave. I’ll take care of you when we get home.” I whispered in her ear.
Now that I wasn’t caught up in drama with her old man and his thievery shit, now that there were no secrets between us, I let myself really see her. I knew what she felt smelt and sounded like when we fucked, but until now I’d never taken the time to really study her.
Because I always knew I’d have to give her back I never took the time to see past her beauty to all that she was. Now that there was nothing standing in our way it was safe to let go and look deep enough to let her in.
“My little beauty queen.” She blushed bright red and I wondered how she could after all the nasty shit I’d done to her and had her do to me. Those bright blue eyes of hers bore into me as I ran my hand soothingly up and down her back.
I wanted to ask her about the baby, if he or she was okay and all the other shit an expectant dad would want to know, but I saved that also for later. There was so much I wanted to ask her, so much we needed to talk about. But none of it mattered now that I had her back where she belonged. Least of all what her asshole old man was going to think when he found out we were together.
