He put me on the bed, and I curled onto my side and smiled at him. He undressed me and put one of his large T-shirts on me. Once finished, he took his clothes off and climbed in and spooned me.
His hand cradled my lower belly as if waiting to feel the baby kick. He hadn’t waited long when our little bronco rider started doing tricks.
And like every other night since finding out I was pregnant, I prayed Cade was the father.
Please let him be the father…

“We couldn’t have known today would be her baby shower, sir.”
I glared at Elliot and poured myself another glass of whiskey. “It has to happen tomorrow. I don’t care about her high blood pressure. Or if the doctor put in her file to take it easy. I want her and my baby with me.” I have my place set up for them. Spent millions to make my hideaway comfortable. I wouldn’t wait another day.
“Yes, sir.”
“No, fucking up.”
“No, sir.”
I drank my drink. There were only four of us in South Dakota. With the vast number of bikers in and out of Burntwood, I couldn’t bring a lot of men with me without being noticed.
My plan would work. I’d get Shelby myself, and my jet would be ready to whisk us away before anyone could stop us.
Nobody would stop me. Especially not Cade Norris.
Tomorrow, he meets his maker.

Cade
While we ate breakfast, I discussed the plans for the day. Shelby listened in earnest, and Buster grunted every so often while he stuffed his face with eggs and bacon.
“Buster, you stay at the house with Shelby until eleven, then meet us at the building site. Martina should be over around noon.” I flicked my gaze at Shelby for confirmation.
“That’s right, honey. Noon.”
“No problem,” Buster said with a full mouth. “I’ll do some things on Shelby’s honey-do list.”
“Aww, sweet! I have another honey.” She winked at the boy.
I scowled at her. She’d woken up well rested and in a bubbly mood. I was glad after the long day she’d had, but I didn’t appreciate her teasing about having another honey. I was heronlyhoney.
“But really Cade. I’ll be okay. He can leave with you now.”
“Nope, we don’t get good reception at the building site. I’ll feel better if you’re not alone too long,” I replied. Something could happen to her, and she’d be alone in the house. The ranch hands wouldn’t hear her screaming from the barn.
“What do you think is going to happen, handsome?” She stood to put the plates in the sink.
“Just being cautious.” I wiped my mouth with a napkin.
“That was great, Shelby. Thank you.” Buster placed his fork on his plate as Shelby took it.
“You’re welcome.” She set the dishes in the sink and cocked her head at me. “Are you expecting something to happen?”
“No. Just humor me.” I went to give her a kiss.
