Chapter ten
Duke
Duke stopped at the bar before going up to his apartment. He had a quick shot of scotch while gripping the box in his other hand. It was early but he needed it dammit. He’d never done anything like this before and he was glad he would never have to again. Taking a couple of deep breaths and reminding himself he wasn’t a pussy, he made his way upstairs. Opening the door, he spotted Nicole sat on the couch, looking out of the window as if she was in a world of her own. She jumped when he shut the door. She seemed as on edge as him. Had she been crying? Her eyes seemed red and her whole body was rigid with tension. He sat next to her and pulled her onto his lap, where she fit perfectly and placed his box next to him.
“Hi baby, you feeling ok? You’re looking a bit pale. Have you had your tablets?” He couldn’t help but worry over her, she meant everything to him.
“I’m fine. You’re gonna make your hair fall out if you keep stressing.” She stroked his arm and he felt her shaking. Fuck, she wasn’t getting enough sleep. “Duke, I need to talk to you about something.”
He couldn’t think what that could be and he had bigger things filling his mind right now. “I’ve gotta talk to you too, baby. You go first.” This would give him a couple more minutes to compose himself or so he thought.
Nicole placed her hands on either side of his face, keeping his attention. “Duke….. I’m pregnant.”
He must of misheard. She had spoken too softly and quickly that he must of mistaken what she said.
“Baby, you’re gonna have to repeat that. I didn’t hear you right.” He watched her swallow and she struggled trying to pull away from him, tears filled her eyes but he wasn’t letting go. He tipped her chin up, forcing her eyes to meet his.
“We’re going to have a baby, Duke.”
Yep, he definitely heard her that time. His lungs seized and his grip on her tightened. Was it possible? Looking into her beautiful eyes he could see all her emotions. She was happy, wary but mostly scared. He knew she was waiting for his reaction. It seemed to take him forever to process what she had said. He put his hand over her rounded stomach. His whole body jolted. Fuck, it was true, he was going to be a father. His kid was going to have this amazing woman as its mother. Joy, pure and simple, exploded inside him. She couldn’t leave him now, they were tied together. Always. The words that seemed impossible to say earlier, now rolled off his tongue with ease.
“I love you, Nicole. Your mine, now and forever.”
She gasped and more tears flooded her eyes as she said, “I love you too, Duke.”
Nicole flung her arms around him and cried into his neck. He buried his face in her silky hair and held her as close as he could. Tension eased from his whole body. She loved him back. He knew he loved her on the very first night they’d spent apart, all those weeks ago. She was the other half of his soul and he’d keep her safe for the rest of their lives. It was a vow he had every intention of keeping. It was sacred. He lifted her head and smashed his mouth to hers. Pushing through her lips, they started to twist and turn their tongues together, always trying to get closer.
He became overwhelmed with a desperate need to be buried inside her. He spun her around and lowered her onto her back across the couch. Tearing his top off and then hers, he started to kiss down her neck and nip her collar bone. He peppered wet kisses over her breasts and stomach. Stroking her stomach with his hands, he sucked and teased her puckered nipples. A guttural groan from Nicole had him ripping her yoga pants down her shapely legs and tearing open the fly of his jeans. He didn’t even manage to get his jeans fully off before he plunged himself into Nicole’s perfect pink hole.
He set a frantic pace and moaned every time he drove into her. He was going to finish too quickly, it felt too good. He withdrew, sat up and pulled her onto his lap, sinking back into her and letting her set the pace. As they built to ecstasy, they clung to each other, whispering words of adoration and love. He put his hand between them and worked her clit, she arched her back driving him deeper still and instantly went over the edge. He followed straight away as her tight pussy pulsed around his cock with every ripple of her orgasm. Neither let the other go as they wound down. They sat like that for a while, just absorbing each other. Eventually Nicole broke away and gifted him with a smile brighter than any before it. Her fingers played with the back of his hair.
“God, you’re amazing. You’re everything I’ve ever wanted for myself and more. I’m so relieved you’re happy. We’re gonna be a family. A real family.” She was beaming.
“Baby, you’re gonna be the best mama a baby could ask for.” He thought about family and started to laugh. Nicole look confused. “Not laughing at you baby, just looking forward to telling Uncle Razor!” Nicole giggled with him. He loved that sound. He shifted his weight and his knee knocked into the box that was now pushed right into the corner of the couch. “Oh, I almost forgot. This is for you. It’s what I was doing this morning.”
Duke passed her the box and watched her tear into it. He was still nervous about her reaction. For him this was huge. He’d never imagined doing this before meeting Nicole. He’d decided yesterday he couldn’t put it off any more. He’d battled internally about this for weeks. He was worried. She had grown up around so much instability and ended up in bad situations due to her father, he wasn’t confident she’d want to tie herself to the VP of a motorcycle club.
