His grip around her waist tightened. “I don’t like thinking of you with anyone else.”
She spun in his arms. “I know, but do you love me? Do you feel like you can’t live without me?” She searched his eyes.
He didn’t say a word.
Pain sliced through her, but she ignored it.
“See, you and I, we’re not in love with each other. We never will be.” She whistled to the dogs and they came to her.
She wanted to break down and cry. It wasn’t supposed to be like this.
As she walked the dogs back, Rix followed behind her. Elizabeth looked between them, likely worried, but didn’t voice any concern.
Rix took hold of her hand and even as she tried to leave to go to her own home, he wouldn’t let her.
Once inside his home, he locked the door. She couldn’t stand to not have the door locked. Rix had started to do it for her. He lifted her up in his arms.
“Stop it. I can walk.”
He carried her up to his room.
Slowly, he removed each item of her clothing until she stood before him naked. She watched him as he did the same. He put his hands at the base of her back, bringing them skin to skin. He kissed her lips. “I don’t know a lot, Anna-Beth, but I know this.” His lips trailed down, going to her neck, then to her chest. “I love it when I’m with you. You make me forget everything, and all I can think about is making you happy.” At her tits, he flicked each hard nipple before he moved her back so she lay on his bed.
She spread her legs and his cock teased her entrance.
“I don’t want to think of any other man ever knowing how good you are, how amazing you are. You drive me wild and as far as I’m concerned, you belong to me.” He slammed to the hilt inside her. “My name is the only one I want to fall from your lips. All I care about hearing is mine. I can’t stand the thought of anyone being in my place and while ever there is breath in my body, you will be mine in every single way.”
Chapter Eight
Rix held Anna-Beth’s hair out of the way as she threw up for the third day in a row.
“You have to leave.”
“I’m not leaving.”
“It must be something I ate last night.”
“You mean the chocolate and peanut butter toasty with cheese you insisted on making yourself last night?”
“Ugh, I’m going to be sick.”
He rubbed her back as she threw up again. This wasn’t good. He had a feeling he knew what it was though.
“I think you need to go to the doctor,” he said.
“No, it’s fine. It’s just a sickness bug. I’ll be fine in a couple of days. I thought you needed to go and meet with a bunch of people today,” she said. “I can handle this. Believe me, I don’t want you to think of me throwing up. Not when I want you to imagine me doing other things.”
He chuckled. Guilt swamped him. She had no idea.
“It’s fine. I want to stay with you.” He rubbed her back. “How about I go and make you some dry toast and some tea?”
“I don’t know if I can stand them.”
“I’ll go and do it. You leave it to me.” He left her in the bathroom, heading downstairs to her kitchen. He still hadn’t unpacked anything. His meeting today was with the underboss. He couldn’t miss it but he also didn’t want to leave her alone.
He dialed Night.
“What’s up, Prez? I’m about to head out.”
“I need you to arrange a different meet. I can’t make it today.”
“Are you kidding me? This is the only day. We’ve had this meeting planned for three weeks. We needed it secure. You know this.”
Rubbing at his temples. “I can’t make it.”
“Why not?”
“I’ve got personal shit, Night.”
“Any fucking you do can be done a different day.”
“I don’t think you understand me, or you seem to think you’re the boss of me.”
“Right now, I am the boss of you because you’re making decisions on a piece of pussy that’s going to be out of your life by the end of the year.”
“She’s pregnant with my child,” he said.
Silence.
“She is?” Night asked after a long pause.
“I believe so. You need to bring the Doc here. I want him to find out. She won’t go to the doctor and he works for the club so I can keep this to myself for the time being.”
“She doesn’t know she’s pregnant?”
“Bring the underboss to my house. I’ll deal with him and then I can be close in case she needs me.”
“I don’t like this. The capo has eyes on you. You know this is a big risk.”
“It’s a risk I have to take. You know it and so do I. Arrange it and call me back when you have the details.”
