Loving Nicole (Savage Brothers MC #3)(16)

“Where the hell are you going?”

“I need time away from you.”

I watch as Nicole opens the door to our bedroom. Her words play over in my mind. Since the day we met, I don’t think we’ve spent more than a complete day away from each other. I need her like air. Her words cut open a piece of me that I thought had been healed. The wound is even more intense because it is inflicted by my woman.

“Mama, don’t do this. Whatever this is, we’ll work it out, but don’t take us to this place.”

She turns around and we’re only standing about three feet apart, but it feels like a f*cking ocean.

I need time away from you.

“You don’t get to decide this, Dragon. To say that I have to tell you everything when you aren’t willing to do the same. You don’t get that. It can’t work that way.”

“Your secrets almost got us killed today, Mama. They almost ended the life of our son.”

Her hand goes to her stomach and she presses against her stomach, the ring I gave her glitters in the semi-dark room.

“And your secrets don’t do the same?”

My mind goes back to the day on the mountain when she got shot.

“You always knew there was shit going on, I didn’t keep you in the dark Nicole, even if I couldn’t give you all the details.”

“I was going to tell you,” she whispers.

“When? After the f*ck-wad already killed someone I care about? Or worse, you? Do you know what the f*ck it would do to me if I lost you?”

“I promised Dani I would wait until she left.”

“Left? She can’t leave, Nicole. This f*cker will grab her the minute she tries to run. It’s too late for that baby, and hell, as much as she pisses me the f*ck off, I like the bitch. She’s not facing this shit on her own.”

“It’s too late,” she whispers and her hands go around her stomach cradling it as her tears fall harder. I’m getting f*cking tired of seeing those tears fall from her eyes all the time.

“What do you mean it’s too late? I got this, Mama. You know I’ll always protect me and mine. Dani’s your girl. That makes her part of the family. I won’t let this Kavanagh f*ck get her.”

“She’s gone, Dragon.”

“What? What do you…?”

“She left not long after we got back. She’s been planning it for days.”

“Sit down on the bed Mama, I think it’s time you and I talk this out,” I say, uneasiness grabbing me at the idea of Dani out there alone.





Chapter 10




Nicole


I sit on the bed and lift my head when I feel Dragon at my feet. He slides my sandals off, placing a kiss on each ankle once it’s done. His touch is so gentle and completely at odds with the argument we’ve just had. I watch as he slowly trails his hands up my legs, pushing my dress up as he goes.

“What are you doing?”

“Getting you undressed for your nap,” he says kissing a path up my leg.

“We…I thought we were fighting?”

“We’re having words Nicole. I might be pissed, and you might be pissed but, Mama, get this straight…You’re my woman and there is no ending this, or time away from us. You feel me?”

My heart stutters. I didn’t mean the words when I said them. I’m scared, worn out, and terrified for Dani. I shouldn’t have laid into Dragon like I did. I might be pissed off because it seems like a double standard, but in truth, I don’t even disagree with him.

“I feel you,” I whisper as his hands reach under my dress and pull down my panties. I shift so he can take them off. He throws them to the corner once they clear my legs.

He raises up and reaches out his hands to me, “Stand up, Mama.”

I let his hands envelop mine and he pulls me up. My eyes stay locked on his as he slides the straps of my dress off my shoulders, and further still, until it pools at my feet.

“You’re f*cking beautiful, Mama.”

“I’m as big as a house,” I argue and being over six months pregnant, it’s totally true. The only thing saving me from looking like a blimp in my wedding dress is the forgiving layers the designer fixed around the waist.

He bends down and flattens his tongue out against one of my nipples, licking it and then sucking it into his mouth. My head goes back as I moan. He slowly releases and does the next one the same way.

“Turn around.”

His words shock and excite me. Since Dragon found out I was pregnant he has always been so careful with me. During sex, he makes sure I am in a positon where he controls the intensity of everything. Don’t get me wrong, anyway we make love is good, but there are times I miss the down and dirty Dragon I fell in love with.

I do as he orders and my body shudders when his hands move up my breasts and pulls so my back is tight against him.

“Spread your legs out to make room for me Mama and bend over on the bed slowly,” he whispers in my ear, his hot breath sending goosebumps over my skin.

I swallow, so f*cking turned on I can feel the wetness gathering between my legs. I do as he says and smile when he reaches around and drags two pillows under me. I lean on them so I’m higher than the bed will allow and it makes it infinitely easier for me. The bed is tall, but as big as I am, it’s hard to bend over these days.
