“Give me time to sleep in,” I muse and he laughs. “He is so pretty.” Aiden is the most beautiful little baby. His hair is a deep, dark brown, and his eyes are a light green that is just so striking. He has a tan complexion.
“I will protect him throughout his life, push him whenever it is needed but, most all of all, I will raise him and support him throughout his life, no matter what his choices.”
“The way it should be,” I whisper and hug him. “I will let you rest and let you guys get acquainted with each other. See you tomorrow.”
“Bye, and thank you, Farren.”
I walk to my house, and Damon is in the kitchen with Olive and Randall’s little girl. She is sitting at the kitchen island with a glass of milk and some cookies. “I am sure that your brother will apologize really soon,” Damon reassures her, and she climbs off the bar and hugs his leg.
“Thank you, Alpha. If you say he will, he will.” The way he puffs out his chest, Damon looks like he is ten feet tall. She runs out of the house.
“She came to me so sad, her brother told her to leave him alone.”
How cute is that? A child usually would never dare to tell their alpha something; most fear their alpha. I am glad that they feel secure enough to mention something as small as this to Damon.
I bite my lip in thought—should I be this brave? I grab the bottom of my shirt and lift it straight over my head. I have no bra on. Damon’s nose flares as he takes me in. All for him. “See something you like, Alpha?”
He comes around the bar. “You have no fucking clue, Moon, good enough to eat.”
Fire flows through my body, and I take off my sweatpants, leaving me fully naked. His eyes move up and down my body. I turn around, giving him my back. I slowly walk around the living room and behind the couch. He growls and bends me over the back of the couch. Damon takes his clothes off, and his eyes are a beautiful golden color. I grin. I love that I can get him worked up.
He bends down, his lips touching the back of my neck. I shiver, my toes curling. His lips are like liquid fire, touchingevery single one of my nerve endings. “Mine, all fucking mine.” He growls so deeply, I can feel his body vibrating.
“All yours,” I agree. He owns every single part of me. He is made for me.
“Fucking right, Moon.” His hands grip my hips and move between my legs, touching me. Two fingers slide inside me. My knees are so weak I grip the edge of the couch to keep myself from falling.
“Soaked,” he whispers in my ear, and I throw my head back.
“I need you, Damon.”
“My baby gets what she wants.” He removes his fingers, and I feel the head of his dick pressing against my entrance. He pushes me further over the back of the couch, and he pushes all the way inside. I clench down on him, and he groans deep in his throat.
His fingers grip my hips as he pounds inside me. He was very gentle the first couple of days, when we’d just started having sex, but I wanted more—oh, so much more. I grab the cushion, pressing my face into it. I push back against him as hard as he is giving it to me. All of a sudden, he pulls me away from the couch and picks me up. “What are you doing?” I ask in shock, mostly because I was getting close.
“What if you’re pregnant? I don’t want to hurt the baby.” He lays me gently on the couch, covering my body with his.
“I do hope I am, seeing Brantley so happy…” I trail off, touching the side of his face. I love the many faces of Damon: the sweet side, the loving side, the thoughtful side, and the protective side. I love all of him. To a human, it would probably look like we have rushed everything but, in our world, this is not the case at all. Why not do things differently when you know someone is meant for you? You have an instant lover and protector and all the love you can ever imagine. It’s a real-life fairy tale and, in a way, it makes me sad that humans don’t get to experience this.
We are hidden from the humans for the most part; only a few know about us. The town folks suspect, though. We live outside of Raleigh, Texas. We have a small store and a restaurant, just outside of town, that we go to because it’s easier. Raleigh is the home of the Devil Souls MC, and on the other side of us is the Grim Sinners MC. In a way we are very lucky; they run the towns, so to speak, and they keep the law out of the way. They are a bunch of badasses, I have to admit, and that is saying something because I am surrounded by them.
My thoughts are instantly back on Damon when he slowly moves inside me, kissing the side of my neck so tenderly. I wrap my arms and legs around him, holding, touching, and just feeling. My eyes are closed as I am taken off to another world that belongs only to me and Damon.
A Month Later
Tonight is the full moon, and this morning I noticed something different about myself. A shifter’s mate can tell if she is pregnant based on the way she smells, but Damon left early this morning, so I doubt he would have noticed. He is at the community center we are building, overseeing operations. He needed to get an early start because we leave for the pack gathering today.
I bought a pregnancy test a week ago in case of a moment like this. I pee on the stick and set it on the counter, waiting. A few minutes pass, and I close my eyes for a second as I grab the pregnancy test, nervous. I hope I am pregnant; I want a baby. I want a family with Damon.
I open my eyes, and the small screen says exactly what I was hoping for.
Pregnant.
I laugh, pressing my hand to my mouth in happiness and disbelief. In four months’ time, I will be giving birth to a baby. In the first month we don’t experience any changes, but after that it just seems to happen overnight. Everything is going to change. I will not be able to shift for the rest of my pregnancy,and that will make me vulnerable when it comes to protecting myself.
I leave the pregnancy test on the bathroom counter, and I hear the front door open as Damon walks in. I smile, waiting for him to notice. He shuts the door and looks directly at me. He breathes deeply. “Moon,” he whispers. He falls to his knees in front of me. He pushes up my shirt, leaving my belly bare. “Moon, you are pregnant?” His voice is deep with emotion, and I bury my fingers in his hair. He repeatedly kisses my stomach, breathing in my new scent, and I just hold him. I knew Damon wanted this, but I don’t think I realized how much until I witnessed his reaction to the news. I am so happy.
I hear someone walk onto the front porch, and Maverick comes in without knocking, but we were expecting him. My brother immediately looks at Damon, still on his knees in front of me, and smiles. “Pregnant?” I nod, tears filling my eyes. “Congrats, you guys.” Maverick walks over and hugs me. Damon finally snaps out of it and stands next to me, pressing me tightly against his side, his hand on my stomach. Uhh, I don’t think I realized how protective he is going to be. Brantley walks into the house next, holding Aiden. He halts, breathing deeply, the moment he enters the house.
