Page 83 of Rowdy & Kat

A grinning Rowdy murmured, “In that case, I’ll fuck you into a light nap.”

Despite our lack of fully penetrative sex, our future looked set. My paintings were on the condo walls. A cat tower was set up in the corner. By then, though, the cats’ favorite spot was on top of Goblin’s cage.

One night, before the boys’ feeding, Rowdy woke me to reveal a picture he took of the cats and Goblin downstairs. Witchy and Wicked had given in to the dog’s begging and joined him in the cage. Rowdy’s picture showed the girls curled up together with Goblin’s little body stuck in the middle. Their new friendship was one more step to merging my life with Rowdy’s.

With sex on my mind, I went to a spa with Maria, Lula, and Ivy before my eight-week checkup. I planned to get waxed and exfoliated to help me feel sexy for my first time fully naked in front of Rowdy. Maria and Ivy mimicked my beauty routine, but Lula chose to simply get a pedicure.

“I’m pregnant,” she whispered when we encouraged her to go wilder with her beauty routine. “It’s very early, and I’m paranoid about everything. So, I’ll stick to pampering my feet while you foxes go nuts.”

As we took turns hugging her, Lula hid her feelings better than her younger siblings. Yet, I could tell she was both excited and terrified about the pregnancy. She made us promise not to blab until she finished with her first trimester.

As Maria and I were exfoliated, my sister spoke in Estonian, “Everyone is having babies.”

“Has Farley mentioned kids?”

“He’s wild over the twins. I’ve warned him that I would likely get pregnant with twins, too, but he makes it sound like a good thing.”

“I promise to take care of you with the same devotion you showed me.”

“You have the boys and the cats to worry about.”

“I’ll still treat you like a queen,” I said and reached for her hand. “But we’ll have help from so many people while you had to care for me all by yourself.”

“It’s not a competition.”

“No, it is, and you won.”

As Maria smiled softly, I felt her thinking about the future. She was normally a very pragmatic person. We both were, even if I had a weakness for a specific biker.

Now, Maria was willing to toss aside her prudent nature and embrace a wild desire for a man she barely knew.

My own crazy need left me giddy after I visited the OB/GYN. Not only was I cleared for normal activities, but I had an IUD inserted during the visit. I was good to go for my big date night with Rowdy!

We drove to his parents’ house with me behind the wheel of my minivan and Rowdy riding his motorcycle. Bebe promised she would call if she had any questions or concerns. Despite trusting her, I kept cuddling the boys as if I wouldn’t see them for a week rather than only until tomorrow morning.

“We’ll be over early,” I said as Rowdy wrapped his arms around my body and maneuvered me toward the door.

“Take your time,” Pax said from the couch where he ate from a Cheez-It box. “Vanessa is staying over tonight to help us old folks. We’ve got plenty of hands, so you sleep in and enjoy running around naked.”

I frowned at Pax, who handed the box to Vanessa as they watched “The Rifleman” on TV. He either didn’t notice my gaze on him or didn’t care. Rowdy ignored my grumpiness and shuffled us out of the house.

“I thought we could go riding today,” Rowdy suggested once we were on the front porch. “I’ve got you a helmet, gloves, and a jacket. You know, just in case you fall off. This way, you won’t get scratched up.”

I glanced at his motorcycle and frowned. “The babies are only two months old. We can’t leave them overnight.”

“Why?”

I gripped his shirt and hissed, “I have no sensible reason. I just don’t want to leave them.”

Rowdy grinned at my threatening tone. “We’ll go on our date, head back to the condo where I’ll plug your deprived pussy with my thankful dick. After we’re fucked-out, we’ll drive back here and sleep in the guest room. We’ll only be gone for a few hours.”

Sighing, I admitted, “I do like the sound of that pussy plugging part, but our babies are so small.”

“They won’t forget you.”

Feeling panicked, I whined, “You can’t possibly know that.”

“Of course I can. I’ve read plenty of stuff about baby development. Are you calling me dumb?” he asked and put on his saddest expression.
