didn’t I?”
I smiled slightly but ignored the question. “What if it’s a boy?”
“That will be good, too. We’ll just have to try again.” His eyes widened in exaggerated surprise. “Maybe it’s one of each! That would be awesome!”
I snorted. “I’ll remind you that you said that. Cain?”
“What?”
“Come away with me.”
“I will,” he said with a smile.
“You will?” I could hear my surprise in my own voice.
“I talked to Thad. He said he was okay with the idea of me moving to New Orleans. I spend so much time on the road to there anyway. We just need to work out the details.”
“You won’t leave the Hellhounds?”
“I won’t have to! Thad’s a good guy. When I told him about your family being in New Orleans, and how you wouldn’t leave them, he said we could try to work something out.”
I could feel my excitement die. “Yes. That’s good.”
“You don’t sound excited.”
“No. It’s good. I worried that if you left the club, you would always hold that against me.”
He smiled, a broad, full tooth, grin that gave away his feelings. “No. But I can’t say I was looking forward to leaving. But now I don’t have to. As soon as the Bulls thing is settled, let’s talk about how to make this work, okay?”
“Yeah. Okay,” I mumbled.
Moments later Cain stopped his truck in front of his apartment. “We’re okay?”
“Yeah. Take me to bed and hold me? I feel so… \afraid.”
“Why? Is it the Bulls thing?”
“Yes.”
He leaned over and kissed me softly. “Don’t worry, okay? With all the other clubs watching our backs, we couldn’t be safer. Really.”
We walked up the steps to his second story apartment, hand in hand. I didn’t want to go, but with Cain staying in the Hounds I knew I had to make a clean break. I would leave tomorrow, the day before the confrontation with the Bulls. As we stepped into the apartment I began to cry, and I wasn’t even sure why.
“Hey! What’s this?” Cain asked as he pulled me to him.
“I don’t know. Hormones, I guess.” I sniffed. “It’s going to get worse for you before it gets better, I’m afraid.”
“Come here,” he said pulling me along to the bedroom. He sat down on the side of the bed and kicked his boots off before laying back, patting the bed beside him. “Anytime you need a shoulder to cry on, mine’s always available.”
I looked at him lying there, offering me comfort and support and I made a sound, half sob and half laugh. “I’ll get your colors all wet.”
“They’ll dry.”
I started kicking off my shoes, but didn’t stop there. I completely disrobed before crawling onto the bed. When I had started shucking my clothes, he had sat up and did the same before flopping back onto the bed.
As I moved in close, he caught me and gently caressed my growing stomach before kissing it softly. He looked up at me and smiled, his face softening as he looked into my eyes. “I’ll do anything to take care of my girls.”
He lay down and pulled me into his embrace. I propped on him and snuggled in close, enjoying the feel and the warmth of his skin against my own.
We lay quietly for a long time as I drifted in a semi-awake state, time losing all meaning. He made no move to seduce me, but as we cuddled, I began to feel a spreading warmth. I wanted him, to feel his touch one last time before I left forever. I wanted to be with him, that much I was sure of, but I couldn’t be part of the club that had probably killed my parents, no matter how much I might have cared for him.
I reached up and my lips gently touched his. He kissed me back, letting me set the pace. “It has been a rocky road for us, hasn’t it?” I whispered.
“Yes. But it has been worth it. You’re like no other woman I have ever met.”
“The mother of your child?” I asked as I kissed
I smiled slightly but ignored the question. “What if it’s a boy?”
