“Thank you for telling me. For trusting me with your horrid past.”
His sweet words are like a balm to my soul.
“I want you,” I whisper against his mouth, wanting to replace the raw memories with ones filled with Kane.
It’s been a week since I’ve felt Kane between my legs. After I was attacked in the cargo container, he refused to do anything more than hold me.
“Not now, baby.” He shakes his head. “Not after what you just shared with me.”
“Kane, please,” I beg, shifting so I’m straddling his thighs. “I can’t help what happened to me, but this is my life, and I want to be with my husband. Don’t turn me away, please.”
“Fuck, Bri,” he groans, “when you say shit like that, you know I can’t say no.”
I pull my nightie over my head, exposing my bare breasts, and Kane’s eyes light up with need.
“Then don’t say no.”
I reach between us and pull his hard shaft out of its confines.
Then, without any foreplay, I push my panties to the side and guide him inside me, moaning as he fills me perfectly.
His hands palm my breasts, his thumbs and forefingers pinching and pulling my pebbled nipples. And as I ride my husband, I think about what he said about his sperm being so strong that it breaks through the barrier of my birth control.
And for the first time, a part of me wishes that would happen.
Because the thought of having Kane’s baby doesn’t seem so bad anymore.
“I’m so glad we’re doing Sunday brunch,” Mom says, giving me a two-cheek kiss, when we walk into Dominick and Peyton’s house. “Your brother told me what happened with those assholes at the port. How are you doing?” she asks softly.
“I’m okay,” I tell her honestly. “Kane has been amazing.”
Nobody knows about my nightmares, including my mom. I don’t know if it’s because I feel like it’s a sign of weakness to let what Anthony and Andrey did get to me, but I’ve never told anyone … until Kane.
“Good. He seems like a decent man,” she says. “I was thinking since Walter and I are home for a little while, you should show me this Pilates studio you love so much that you bought it.”
“Mom, you’re going to do Pilates?” I laugh.
“All this traveling has me putting on a few pounds. And nobody can deny how gorgeous and fit your body is.” She waggles her brows.
“I agree.” Kane comes up behind me and wraps his arms around me, leaning over and kissing the sensitive area below my ear. “My wife has a banging body. I’ve asked her for a private session several times, but she’s yet to give it to me.”
“Oh my God. Stop!” I playfully slap his shoulder.
“We should all do it,” Dani says, joining us with her precious daughter in her arms. “I doubt Pilates will turn this body”—she waves down her front—“into that”—she nods toward my body—“but it can’t hurt, right?”
“Your body is perfect the way it is,” Matteo growls, pulling her into his arms. “You get rid of a single curve, and I’ll be pissed.”
I smile at my brother and sister-in-law, but for the first time, rather than feeling envious of what they have, I can relate because Kane tells me and shows me every day how attracted he is to me.
“I’m down,” Peyton agrees. “After having three babies, I can definitely benefit from working out.”
“It’ll be a waste of time,” Dominick says with a smirk. “You’ll be pregnant soon.”
My mom gasps. “You’re having another baby?”
“No.” Peyton glares at her husband. “We are not having any more babies. You want to hold a newborn? Hold Alba.”
Dominick pouts, and Peyton rolls her eyes, completely unaffected.
“You know,” Kane murmurs into my ear, “I bet there are a lot of positions we could try out if you gave me a private session.”
“That’s yoga.” I laugh, turning to face him. “But nice try.” I peck his lips and then walk around him so I can get my baby fix in with Alba.
Dani hands her over, and I inhale her baby scent.
My gaze meets Kane’s, and the heated look he gives me has my thighs clenching.
“Jesus,” Dani mumbles. “He’s not even looking at me, and I swear I just got pregnant.”
I bark out a laugh, startling the baby, and shake my head, soothing her before she cries. “Yeah, it’s a good thing I’m on birth control because I have no doubt that he’d succeed in knocking me up.”
“Umm, there’s something I need to tell everyone,” Lorenzo announces, making everyone stop what they’re doing and look at him.
When he doesn’t say anything right away, Matteo sighs. “Just say it, man. Hillary showed up with your fucking baby and is living with you.”
Lorenzo’s eyes go wide. “What? How did you know?”
“You’re my best friend,” Matteo tells him. “You don’t think I know what goes on in this town? The minute she got here, my men told me. But you obviously weren’t ready to talk about it, so I kept my mouth shut.”
