“Jesus,” Dragon mutters and I can’t help but smile as I release his finger with a pop. He shakes his head.
“And two, mark this down, Nicole… I am not now, nor ever will be pulling out and giving up your warm, wet pussy, to leave my soldiers cold. Not going to happen. Unless it’s to cum on your face and tits, so I can slide my cock in between them and go for round two…I might could for that,” Dragon says, staring at my breasts like a drowning man looking at a life preserver that is just out of reach.
I close my eyes and picture what he is saying and swear that one touch could rocket me out of the stratosphere. This man is definitely my kryptonite.
I open my eyes to find him laughing. He picks me up and pushes me against my car. My legs go around him and my fingers plow into the hair on each side of his face. His eyes are lit up. Happy. Dragon is happy. It speaks to me. It makes me feel…complete.
“I’ve missed you, Mama. I’ve missed you so fucking much,” he says, bending down to press our lips together. I open for him without thinking and the kiss is heated, but also sweet and slow. It’s about the two of us being together again. It’s the sweetest kiss I’ve ever had.
“We still need to figure some things out,” I caution, because I may have decided to take a leap here, but both of us need to learn to open up to the other more.
With one last soft touch of our lips, he lets me slide back down his body. His hand brushes the side of my face, tucking some of my hair behind my ear.
“We will, Mama. Long as we do it together, I’m good.”
“Forever,” I promise.
His smile freezes and then kicks up another notch.
“Fuckin’ A.”
I laugh, shaking my head at him.
“You going to take me home and make good on your promise or what, Dragon?”
“Thinking I should definitely take you home.”
He takes my hand into his and leads me over to the passenger side of his Tahoe.
“You know, you hardly ever ride your bike, lately. It’s like I’m in love with just a regular guy with a nine to five job.”
“Bite your damn tongue. It’s because my woman hasn’t been in any shape to ride with me.”
“I think I just proved I can handle riding on your bike.”
“Then tomorrow, unless we’re needed for Dom, we will go for a ride. Just the two of us.”
“To the Falls?” I ask excitedly, because it’s been so long since we’ve done that.
“Anything you want, Mama,” he says kissing my forehead. He opens the door and I slide in, feeling more my old self than I have since the day Michael Kavanagh’s goon stood at mine and Dani’s table.
“We do have one major problem, Dragon.”
“Just one? Hell, we’re practically home free now,” he says mockingly.
“Sarcasm does nothing for you, sweetheart.”
He shakes his head at me, putting the vehicle in reverse. We drive for a little bit before he finally asks me the question I’ve been waiting for.
“I give, what’s our major problem, Mama?”
“We can’t raise Dom at the club, sweetheart. I know it is home to you, but a baby needs a house to grow up in and I don’t want my seven year old wandering out of his room to get a snack and see Twinkies getting it on with some of the men. That is just not going to happen.”
Dragon goes silent and I worry a little, but I know I’m right. The club was fine when it was just him and me, but Dom deserves a home. A place to grow and be happy and loved in. All the things Dragon and I never had growing up.
“What if we build a house next to the compound, out back, away from the main grounds? We could put up a big privacy fence, so Dom would be protected from any of the craziness. Plus, it’d be close enough to be protected by the club and the defenses already in place.”
I think about it. I like it. Plus, it’d be close enough that Dani could watch Dom when… shit… Dani.
“Okay, Mama, if you don’t like that we’ll start looking at houses close by.”
“No, no sweetheart, I like the idea—honest. I was just thinking about Dani. I need to talk with her. I’ve not been nice to her lately.”
“She understands. She loves you, Mama.”
“I know…it’s just…we have things to work through. I completely blamed her, and I shouldn’t have. I made my own decisions.”
“It will be okay, Mama,” he says picking up our joined hands and kissing it.
“I know,” I whisper and for the first time in a long time, I believe that.
“Dial Bull and put it on speaker, Mama,” he says motioning to his phone.
I don’t question, I just do it. Honestly, I like holding his hand. I need to be connected to him right now. There’s a part of me that never wants to let him go again. I may have taken a leap, but that fear is still there.
I put the phone on my lap and dial the number. It’s not exactly easy to dial with just one hand.
“Yo,” Bull’s voice comes over the phone.
“Hey man, have the boys pick up Nic’s car after all.”
“Damn man, you’re starting to get annoying.”
“Fuck you,” Dragon says with a laugh.
