She shrugs in my arms. “I know, but it makes me feel good.”
“That’s all that matters then.”
She pats her small hands against my chest, pushing me back slightly. I quickly kiss her lips before letting her go. I let her show me everything she has prepared for us. She proudly shows off the chicken alfredo with salad and fresh bread.
“This smells fucking amazing, babe.”
“Let’s hope it tastes good too. I’m going to be a mom soon. I need to learn how to cook more.”
“We can take turns,” I mutter, shrugging.
I can’t stop staring at the Pebbles that’s sitting across the table from me. She looks exactly like she used to before the accident. The only thing different is the growing bulge of her belly. I didn’t realize how much different she has been looking the last few months until today. Like I told her, she is always beautiful no matter what, but she is sexy as sin right now.
And knowing that the thing causing the protrusion at her waist is the product of our past? I am turned the fuck on.
I try to think of anything that will make the hardness in my jeans go the fuck away. There’s no way I would do anything to damage all the progress we’ve made.
“I wanted to talk to you about something,” Pebbles says after swallowing and pushing her plate away from her.
“What’s up?”
“Why do you leave every night?”
I lean back in confusion. “I didn’t realize you wanted me to stay the night?”
“Of course I want you to stay.” It’s her turn to look confused as she searches my face. “Unless we aren’t actually together?”
“Are we?” I ask, gently.
“Wait,” she flusters, shaking her head. “Are we?”
“You tell me, babe. I’m the one waiting on you this whole time.”
“I told you I loved you!” she claims.
“Yes you did, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you’re ready to be in a relationship with me, does it?” I say as carefully as possible.
“I-I thought it was implied.” I purse my lips at her and her shoulders drop. “Is that why you haven’t really been around? You’re still giving me space?”
“No. I really have been busy with everything going on with the club. I’m not avoiding you if that’s what you’re thinking. I told you I would wait for you. I told you I love you. I’m just not going to push you for more until you’re ready.”
“What if I am ready?” she whispers.
I push back from the table, walking over to her chair and crouching next to her. “Are you ready to be mine?”
“I was ready the minute I thought I was going to find you dead in that hospital bed.”
“A little dramatic, huh?” I chuckle.
She pushes my arm and I grab her hand, entwining her fingers with mine. I press a kiss to her knuckles and press them against my chest. “This is yours. Alright? Whether you’re ready for it, now or ten years from now. It’ll always be yours.”
“I want it now.”
“You sure?” She bites down on her bottom lip, I reach up and use my thumb to pull it out. “Once you decide, you can’t take that shit back. I won’t apologize for how fucking addicted I am to you, Red.”
“I want it.”
“Then it’s yours.” I smile at the shine in her eyes. “And to be perfectly clear, with no concern or question, you are mine.”
