Oh my God, I could go on and on.

It frustrated me to be in no condition to have my way with him and indulge until my heart’s content. The universe was cruel to torment me this way.

“Baby, you’re drooling.” He wiped the corners of my mouth with his thumb.

“What?” I batted his hand away.

“You were staring at my dick, but I don’t mind.” He exuded confidence like no other.

“I’m concussed, Levi.” My face heated and probably turned cherry red. “I must’ve been zoning out. It happens, you know? When a person is concussed.” Jeez, I sounded like an idiot.

“You weren’t zoning out.” He snickered and crawled into bed. “I know how much you love my cock, Nurse Naughty.” He kissed me and brushed a strand of my hair off my face. “It’s okay. I like that you’re enamored with it.”

“You’re a brat for teasing me.” I snuggled into his side and inhaled his natural scent into my lungs. There wasn’t a single thing I didn’t like about him. It terrified me to feel this way. “I like what I like, and I make no apologies.” Would he read between the lines?

“And I like you too, sweetheart.”

Unbelievable, it was like he knew exactly what to say. Maybe he was too good to be true.

Or maybe I had brain damage and none of this was real.

Hustler

Seconds after our playful banter, Hope zonked out—three hours ago. I’d been watching her sleep for a while. I wasn’t a napper unless severely hungover.

I never knew it could feel so good to be with a woman outside of sex. There was a calmness inside me when I was with Hope. I could relax and enjoy the moment. She had no expectations about us. She wasn’t out to tie me down.

Funny how things changed and the roles reversed.

I had expectations.

I wanted to tie her down.

“Are you watching me?” she muttered.

“How did you know?”

“Your heart rate spiked. Are you worried about something?” She turned her head to see my face.

“I suppose I am worried a little.”

“What about?”

“That you won’t want me. Even though I’ve claimed you, you haven’t said anything about it. Usually, the woman is happy about it.”

“Oh.” She closed her eyes. I wished I could hear her thoughts. “I won’t pretend like I understand your MC life because I don’t. Claiming a person sounds possessive and barbaric.”

“I suppose it is.” Shit, she was going to pull back.

“Couldn’t we slow things down?”

“We can do whatever you want.” I put my hand on her stomach. “Just don’t shut me out. I will be in my baby’s life. I’ll be an active father, and my family will be in the baby’s life.”

“Okay. I won’t keep the baby from any of you.” She rubbed her temple, and her body tensed. “I can’t believe I’m going to have it.”

“Are you having second thoughts?” A breath hung in my lungs. I didn’t know what I’d do if she changed her mind about the baby or me.
