I roll my eyes. God, he's pushing it.
He slowly pulls out of me and collapses onto his back. He reaches down and pulls the sheets over our naked bodies. "I'm not finished with you yet," he growls as he pulls me into his body. "Gonna give you a little time, babe, but once you're ready, I'm claimin' you."
I laugh. "Think the baby in my belly already shows that you have."
He slaps my arse. "Funny. But I'm claimin' you as my old lady. I want you tied to me forever, babe."
I stare up at him. "I don't know what to say." I'm shocked. "You've changed your tune."
He shakes his head. "Not really. I always knew you were special. I kept pushin' you away 'cause I didn't want to hurt you. I pushed you away to protect us both. It was fucked up, and I'm sorry I hurt you."
I press a kiss to his lips. "No more apologies. I get it. This is our fresh start. Maybe one day you can take me on a date. You know, wine and dine me."
He grins, just as I had wanted him to. "You want romance, babe?"
I lift my shoulder and shrug. "Hey, at least you know I put out."
He pushes me onto my back and presses a kiss to my lips. "Fuckin' phenomenal in bed, babe. I swear, you're the most beautiful woman I've ever set eyes on."
My breath catches at his words. "Well, handsome, you're not so bad yourself."
"Thanks for givin' me another chance."
God, he's killing me. "Don't make me regret it."
He looks so fierce. "Never," he vows.
I pray that he's right, but I have a feeling that things are going to be plain sailing for us from here on out.
I've found my prince charming, and he rides a Harley.
CHAPTER27
PREACHER
TEN WEEKS LATER
"Here you go, brother," Pyro says with a broad grin as he hands me the property of patch.
Today's the fucking day. I get to claim my woman and we get to find out what gender our baby is.
I grin. "Thanks, Prez," I say, proud that I finally have this. As promised, I waited until Ailbhe was ready. She's more than that now.
The past ten weeks have been different than anything I could have anticipated. Things between Ailbhe and I are better than ever. I'm so fucking in love with her that I can't think straight. She's become so important to me that I finally understand what my brothers mean when they talk about their old ladies. I finally have that. I never would have dreamed that this would be true, but coming to Ireland was the best thing for me.
The saying that everything happens for a reason is true. Having Tyson for the little time that I did was to put me in the right frame of mind to be a father. To finally grow up and become the man I was supposed to be. It's paved the way for me to be who I am now.
My life has changed so much in the past ten weeks. I’m with the woman I love and helping her raise her siblings. Yes, all four of them. The kids got used to our relationship quicker than Ailbhe and I did. For the both of us, this is our first and only relationship, and we're learning as we go. But the kids are important to Ailbhe, and so in turn have become important to me. They may be crazy but they're family now. I haven’t moved in with them, but I do spend every night with them. Whether that be at their house or them staying at the clubhouse. I know what I want and that's my family. I won't spend a night without them.
I say goodbye to Pyro and move toward my truck. Ailbhe's halfway through her pregnancy now and we're finally going to find out the gender. Whenever we've gone before, the baby's not been co-operating at all. Today, though, we're not leaving until we find out.
I place the patch in my pocket as I climb into the truck. I've got just over an hour to meet her at the hospital for the scan. Ruairi and Mikey want a boy, whereas the girls want another girl in the house. I just want Ailbhe and the baby to be healthy. Either gender would be perfect. I know Ailbhe feels the exact same as me. She just wants everything to run smoothly.
My fingers tap the steering wheel in rhythm to the music playing in the truck. I'm an inpatient fuck, always have been. Now that I have the property of patch, I want to give it to Ailbhe right away. I want her to wear it. She's unable to get a tattoo until after the baby is born. We've had multiple discussions about her becoming my old lady and she's determined to get a tattoo. She's seen pictures of all the other old ladies tattoos and wants to have her own. She's even asked Fiona to design it when the time comes.
Her sister is an amazing artist, and Ailbhe is encouraging her to pursue that dream. Ruairi finally pulled his ass out of his head. It took him almost a week, but he finally came to see her. He apologized, and Ailbhe threatened to kick him in the balls if he said sorry once more. She told him it wasn't his fault. Something I highly disagree with. She gave him the money to pay the debt. What he did with that money, I doubt we'll ever know. She worked her ass off for that, and he fucked up and Ailbhe paid the price. He's taken accountability for his actions and has assured her he'll never do anything like that again.
He won't get the fucking chance. I'll kill him before he could try.
