He also had a chunky silver ring on each one of his fingers. Placing my hand next to his, I studied his newest one. Our simple wedding bands matched.
Unable to stop grinning, I could get used to waking up to this view for the rest of my life. Still high off the excitement of our whirlwind marriage, I was a blushing bride alright.
Just a couple days ago, I thought I’d be flying back to California to start a new life. At least resume my old one with a new perspective. The alternative of marrying the biker I’d quickly grown to love and admire felt amazing. Hashtag blessed and everything I always thought was BS.
And fuck.
The fact I’d be giving this incredible badass a child for the first time took the cake. To think, I’d come to Royal Road wondering if this man could be my deadbeat father. Thankfully, there was no possible way he could’ve been. Although him and my mother had been childhood sweethearts, they’d never once had sex. My mom had been waiting for marriage, and he went to prison at eighteen before she became pregnant with me.
Kingpin would be the father of my child.
Maybe.
Mom. I didn’t want to think of her. When Leonora said mom was flying back to Fresno, I was even gladder I hadn’t left. I didn’t care if she had her heart broken by Kingpin’s twin brother who pretended to be him or not. Nor did I care for her disapproval of our relationship. I’d been an adult for five years and on my own even longer.
Her feelings were the furthest care from my mind.
The reality that I wasn’t sure the baby I carried was Kingpin’s or not nagged a whole lot more. He had told me it didn’t matter. I tried with all my might to believe his words.
Time would tell.
But I also knew he didn’t know how possible it was that this baby wasn’t his. That was something I regretted. Something I didn’t think Kingpin realized. And I wanted to keep it that way.
Yes, stupidly, I’d had sex with Ralph from Shakey’s a couple nights before I was with Kingpin for the second time. Before he snuck in my house and declared his love for me. Stupid not just because I wanted Kingpin not Ralph. Stupid because Ralph Getty was a walking, talking piece of shit who took advantage of me. He’d impressed me with his fancy car and offered me a job when I first got to Nashville. Stupidly, I’d signed a horrible contract. I’d thought if I was dating him, I wouldn’t have to sleep with the customers at Shakey’s, but I’d been mistaken.
Just stupid.
Thankfully, Kingpin helped me out of that situation. And I’d quickly forgiven him for starting our relationship by trying to make my mom jealous. I believed him when he said he almost immediately realized he loved me instead of her.
When he asked me to marry him, and said he only wanted to be with me going forward, as in sexually. I believed that too. Although he’d been saying the whole time he couldn’t promise to never be with another woman. The President here at Royal Road he could have anyone he wanted, any time he pleased. But I believed him with all my heart that he only wanted me.
Therefore, it’d only be fair for him to forgive me for keeping something from him. Right?
But I didn’t want to chance it.
Kingpin roused. My mind focused solely on his actions. My worries faded.
Discovering me naked beside him, he growled. Grabbing my face, he kissed me like he was starved.
“Fuck, I missed you. I missed our wedding night,” he said as he drew back. “Love, I want you to know we can still have a real wedding if you want and a real honeymoon.”
Hearing him say our wedding wasn’t real stopped my heart. I’d been just fine with how we’d gotten married. I actually thought it was quite romantic for us to get hitched the morning after I said yes.
“I just couldn’t wait to make you my Ol’ Lady.”
Ah, that was better. I smiled so wide my cheeks burned.
“I plan to make it up to you. We’re not going to leave this bed for a week. I’m going to fuck you so hard that you won’t be able to physically leave this bed.”
That made it so much better.
Hugging his neck, I stared into his dark brown eyes that were lined with thick lashes and charcoal. I loved this man with all my heart. His wild, passionate ways took my breath away.
I wanted to tell him all this but only said, “That sounds glorious.”
Kingpin gazed down my body.
“But we’ll also be careful, too, on account of the baby.”
