Catching him watching, she motioned him over and repeated the process with his massive body. Only she also ran her other hand tenderly over his scars and the intricate tattoos covering his massive arms and chest. She way she handled him made him feel valued and maybe even a little cherished. Everything to do with this sweet, loving woman moved him almost to tears.
What kind of crazy man could ever give up something so precious?
~ Ace ~
Climbing into bed behind his lovely professor seemed different. At the clubhouse, neither of them felt particularly at home. It was clear that Barbara felt totally comfortable in her own home, though. The strange part was that Ace felt very much at home there, too.
“This is all kinds of weird for me.”
“My house must seem like a tiny doll house to you.”
“It feels more like a warm, safe nest that’s been made enticing by the addition of a beautiful and accommodating woman. I’m feeling a bit like the world’s last dodo bird or something.”
“In that case, we had better start making babies before you go extinct.”
“The last time you said something like that it triggered a little episode of self-loathing.” Pulling the blanket up around them, he murmured reassuringly, “Don’t worry, this time I have my head screwed on straight. I’m intentionally not using a condom and will be trying my best to make ugly little dodo babies with you.”
“You’re so funny.”
Ace frowned. “Why do you want to get pregnant?”
“Fertility stays relatively stable until around age thirty in women. After that, it begins to drop off slightly. Since I gave my marriage a dirt nap, I suppose I’ve been worried about missing my window.” Eyeing him with heated admiration, she continued, “You’re a big, strapping biker. You look like you could get the job done with some swimmers to spare.”
Moving closer, he grinned. “This is like a whole new side of your personality that I’ve never seen.”
Running her hand over his chest, she laughed. “It’s the neurotic and slightly panicking side.”
Jerking his chin for her to give him a kiss, he murmured, “It looks good on you.”
Rather than following his nonverbal communication, she asked softly, “So do you have baby-related secrets to share?”
Reaching out, he wrapped one arm around her and dragged her close. “Sure, but I don’t think you wanna hear them.”
“I do, so cough it up.”
Spanning her stomach with his hand, he said, “I’ve thought about how nice it would be to see my child growing inside you. You’d look really sexy with a baby bump. I’d be one of those obsessed dads who listened to your stomach and told our little princess stories so she’d get used to my voice. Since I don’t know any stories fit to tell a baby, we’d have to go to one of those fancy bookstores and buy some. Maybe we’d get one of those fancy coffees you like so much.”
Her eyes damn near sparkled. “That’s about the sweetest baby secret I ever heard.”
Looking down at his hand on her stomach, he whispered, “I’d have to be really careful, ‘cause I wouldn’t want her to be scared when she saw me for the first time.”
“You wouldn’t have to worry about your child being frightened of you. Children love their parents unconditionally.”
“Shit, I didn’t realize how much I love that idea. Now that we started talking about it, I can see us making a nice little nursery with one of those intercom systems so we know when she cries.”
“So, she’s gonna look like an ugly dodo bird, is she?” Barbara said, amused.
“I shouldn’t have said that. I was trying to be funny.” Giving her tummy a little squeeze, he continued. “Any little girl you had would probably be beautiful like her momma.”
“And the boys would be handsome, like their dad.”
Grinning, he pointed out the obvious. “You said boys with an S. How many kids do you want to have with me?”
“Two boys and a girl, at least.”
A dark look jumped onto his face. “What are we gonna do if there are twins?”
She knew what he worried about right away. “Most twins are both nice. I don’t think your brother being the way he was had anything to do with him being a twin.”
