His name rang out from me as I dug my nails into the back of his shoulders, using him for stability as my entire body tensed. When he finished right after me, another wave of pleasure rolled over me, taking my breath away.
Kai slowly rolled off of me after a few moments, catching his breath and twining our fingers together.
“I’m excited to be a dad. I was just shocked,” he murmured as we both gazed up at the ceiling. “After I thought about it some more, I feel lucky now to have an heir on the way and someone like you to be the mother.”
I turned my head to gaze at him, warmth blooming in my chest at his sweet words.
“Does an heir have to be a boy? What if I have a girl?” I asked him.
Kai shrugged.
“Some people think an heir has to be a boy, but I don’t believe that. Anyone who is raised right can be the leader of the Iron Serpents,” he explained. “So, whatever you have, we’ll be happy. A lot of us want families, even if we don’t seem the type.”
Relief flooded through me as I listened to him, seeing a side of him that I really liked. I was glad that he believed a girl could be the leader of a tough motorcycle club because I believed the same thing. Our baby would become a badass no matter what.
“I was really nervous about this deal, but I am grateful for the help you guys will give me and the baby,” I told him. It wouldn’t be cheap, and it wouldn’t be easy. So, I was grateful to not be alone in this.
“Everything will turn out fine,” Kai assured me before pressing a gentle kiss against my forehead. He rolled off the bed and got dressed, making me pout a little. “You need to sleep. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
He probably wasn’t the type to sleep over. Even if he was handsome and charming, that didn’t mean anything deeper than sex would happen between us. He seemed more focused on the baby than anything else, so I tried not to get my hopes up. It was probably for the best.
“Goodnight,” I said as I sat up, my eyes trailing him as he walked toward the door.
Kai paused and turned to me, the corner of his mouth turning up ever so slightly in a hint of a smile.
“Night,” he replied before leaving me alone in the bedroom.
When I heard the clubhouse door shut and lock, I flopped back down on my back and stared up at the ceiling, wondering if I would make it through the rest of this year in one piece.
Chapter 9
Lincoln
I slowly paced outside of the clubhouse, the soft colors of dawn painting the sky up ahead.
It had been a week since Aisling moved in. A week since this crazy but necessary plan went into effect.
It was such a jarring plan that I was conflicted about it at first, but my job was to be this club’s guardian. I watched over everyone, so I had to keep the future in mind.
When I met Aisling in person, that was what nailed things in place for me. That was what told me that this plan needed to happen.
Not only could she help us protect the future of our club, but we could help her too. She seemed like a good person, and we weren’t the type of guys to wreak havoc on innocents. We helped where we could while also protecting ourselves. This plan let us do just that.
I wanted to talk to her and get to know her, but the past week had been so crazy.
Kai had us doing patrols of the area to make sure no Hornets came too close and somehow spotted her. She wouldn’t pass as a new member of the club, so it wouldn’t be hard for them to guess why she was here.
If the Hornets found out we were trying to get ourselves an heir, tensions would rise even higher.
They were a group of extreme, merciless assholes who were capable of going low. Very low.
I didn’t even want to think about what they would possibly do if they found out what we were up to.
I sighed and rested my hand on the outside wall of the clubhouse, my forefinger tracing imaginary lines as I pondered on what to say to her. My job centered around the protection of the club, and she was temporarily part of that now.
Besides, she was beautiful too. Maybe there were multiple reasons why I wanted to see her.
Right now would be a perfect time because no one else was here, but where the hell did I even start? I got on my phone and did a quick Google search, seeing what things were good for pregnant women. What made pregnancy easier.
