Burn: Outlaw Romance (Hotter Than Hell Book 3) (28 page)

“Sign at the bottom and you’re good to go,” the woman tells me.

I shake my head. “I can’t make more than a small down payment on this right now.”

“Well, um… the bill’s been paid in full. We have a PO box listed here to send follow up bills to for payment.”

“What?”

She hands me the paper stating the bill is paid in full. “Whoever paid didn’t sign and we need your signature for discharge.”

I look at the address. It’s in Phoenix and I know it was Gomez or Moon who paid this. Fuck. How do I ever say thank you?

I sign the papers and head back up to Sofia’s room to get her the hell out of this place.

I’M A HORRIBLE PATIENT
. Dagger bought a car with really good air conditioning to replace mine and he’s driving me to another medical appointment. The oral surgeon is removing the wires from my jaw today. I’m so relieved. They’ve had me on anti-nausea medication because of the pregnancy and the possibility of throwing up. It makes me drowsy and I hate it. I’m also tired of eating from a straw.

My man’s cock hasn’t been down my throat since the accident. This does not improve my mood. Dagger refuses to touch me in any way until the doctor gives the all clear. Yeah, that doesn’t improve my mood either. If the oral surgeon can’t give the go-ahead, Dagger will be driving me back to the hospital so I can find the surgeon who removed the bullet. Someone will give the all clear for sex today or someone will die.

I’m also tired of everyone treating me like the princess they call me. Fuck that shit. I’m going to punch someone. Having the wires removed is no fun and my jaw aches like a motherfucker when we leave.

Dagger keeps looking at me and grinning.

“What?” I finally ask.

“I can’t believe you asked him when it was safe to put my dick in your mouth. Poor guy almost had a stroke.” Dagger starts laughing and it’s over a minute before he quiets down.

“Doctors should know not to get between a Latina woman and her man. He said we could have sex too.” My speech is somewhat better, but I’m almost afraid to open my jaw too far.

“Yeah, after he called an obstetrician.”

“If you don’t want sex, just say so. I’m sure I can find someone else to scratch my itch.”

“Fuck that. You’re mine, princess.” He takes my hand and moves it to the front of his jeans. “Don’t ever think I don’t want you.”

His cock is hard and I squeeze. He groans and I smile.

Rufus picked up the mail while we were at the medical appointment, and the papers from the county are waiting for us when we arrive back at the clubhouse.

Dagger pulls me into his lap and circles his arms around me. The envelope is in front of us. “Open it,” he whispers in my ear.

“Damn. What if it’s bad news?”

“Then we sic your Latina ass on them and they’ll be sorry. Open it.”

My fingers actually tremble as I tear open the envelope. We begin reading.

“You did it, princess.”

“Hell. It’s approved.”

Dagger stands up, puts me on my feet, and lets out a loud yell. “Fuck yeah, we’re in business.” He’s careful of my ribs as he pulls me in close. I can’t keep a stupid grin from my face. “Call the brothers, Rufus. We’re partying tonight.”

His forehead leans against mine. “I love you,” he whispers. “Didn’t matter what the papers said.” His hand wiggles between us and goes into his pocket. When he pulls his hand out, a gold band rests in his palm. “You can choose something else if you want. I had Savannah’s ring melted down along with mine and then had two remade.”

I stare at the band. I get why he did this. Savannah was his world and because of that her and their child are part of my world too. The ring represents love and he’s giving it to me. “Where’s yours?” I ask in a gruff voice that has nothing to do with having the wires removed from my jaw. He reaches into his other pocket and pulls out a larger band.

I take them both with trembling fingers. Tears stream down my cheeks. I lift them to my lips and kiss them. Dagger pulls me back against him and lets me cry.

“Is that a yes?”

I’m only capable of nodding with my head buried in his chest.

“She said yes,” Vampire shouts.

I forgot a few of the guys were here.

“Double party,” AJ whoops.

“I love you, princess,” Dagger says loud enough for everyone to hear.

I feel loved. I have a family and a baby on the way. I never knew exactly what I was searching for but now I do and I have it in spades.

We party until two in the morning. I, of course, don’t drink. Taking all the drugs in the hospital bothers me and I worry for our child. I don’t care what the doctors say. I don’t plan to take so much as an aspirin for the rest of my pregnancy.

I’m exhausted and trying to keep my eyes open when Dagger lifts me and carries me to our room. He lays me down, removes my shoes, and quickly takes my clothes off.

“Mmm,” I say with sleepy eyes while he massages my insteps. It feels so good that my back arches.

He stands and pulls the sheet over me. “Get some sleep, princess.”

I’m suddenly wide awake. “No. You aren’t leaving me.” I throw the cover off, spread my legs, and rub my fingers along my pussy lips. “If you won’t take care of my problem, I will.”

His baby blues darken and I watch while he divests himself of his clothing. His eyes burn into mine and finally I know I’ve broken through the celibacy rule he’s had in place for the past few weeks.

“You better make it good, white boy. My fingers feel pretty damn incredible.”

He leans over and grabs my hand, lifting my wet fingers to his lips. “You taste damn incredible too.”

“Fuck me, Dax, fuck me until I scream your name.”

“I don’t want to hurt you, princess.” I’m about to protest, when he continues. “You tell me if something feels uncomfortable, deal?”

“Yes,” I say quietly.

He moves over me. His arms hold him up as he rolls to my other side and brings me on top of him. “Ride me, baby,” he groans as I rub myself along his cock.

He’s hard, which is never a surprise. My face still has yellow bruises. The stitches came out a few days ago, but my face is still puffy around the bone implant. He looks at me like I’m beautiful. His kind of beautiful. I lift to my knees and position myself so I can sink down on his cock. I place my hands on his chest and slowly lift my hips, lower them, and lift. Our eyes remain locked. So much love.

God, I’ve missed this. There’s no connection on earth that even comes close.

“You’re beautiful, princess.”

I smile widely. My jaw aches, but I don’t care. My goal is to suck his cock in a week. My smile goes wider and he lifts his hands to my breasts. I move my hands back to his thighs and increase my speed, loving his heavy breathing and knowing I drive him as crazy as he drives me.

I’m there much too quickly and pulse around his cock.

“Dax,” I cry.

“Gotcha, princess.”

“Dax come with me. God, please.”

“I’m there,” he pants.

And he is. His warmth fills me. His touch sears. My body burns.

I wake up with the most incredible sensation between my legs. Dagger has my knees over his shoulders while he eats my pussy. I slept through his arranging me, but God there’s no way I could sleep through this.

He locks eyes with mine and smiles after releasing my clit from between his lips. “You taste so fucking good, princess. Sweeter. It’s the baby, gotta be.”

“It’s you. You’re sweeter,” I tell him and groan when he slides his tongue inside me.

I love him so much. Love his nasty sexual appetite and how much it turns me on. I need to ask the doctor about pregnancy and anal, I think, before I can’t think at all.

TODAY IS SOFIA’S FIRST
ultrasound and I can’t help remembering the last day I had with Savannah. This is bittersweet and Sofia understands.

Dr. Andreas walks in the room and takes a seat by Sofia. She’s an older Latina doctor in her sixties and Sofia loves her. She wanted a doctor who would be accepting of our lifestyle. I wasn’t happy when the doctor said Sofia could ride on the back of my bike with a helmet for as long as she was comfortable. No, not happy at all.

The club took a ride last weekend to Flagstaff and I was a wreck the entire time. Sofia laughed when I cussed out a driver for moving too close to our ass before passing. It was an old woman, and someone needed to report her so she has her eyes re-examined.

The doctor places clear jell on the ultrasound wand before placing it on Sofia’s belly.

Sofia laughs and says, “It’s cold.”

I smile, lean down, and kiss her cheek. “Buck up, princess.”

We watch the picture on the screen as the doctor moves the wand around to locate the baby.

“I expected this. Your hCG levels were high, so I’m not at all surprised.”

Sofia tries to sit up. “What?” she asks in rising panic.

“No worries. Stay still and I’ll show you.” The doctor moves the wand again.

Sofia sinks back against the bed, but her body stays tense. I’m holding her hand and her fingernails dig into my skin.

“See here,” the doctor says, “here’s the heartbeat.” She moves the wand again. “And here’s the other heartbeat. You’re having twins.”

“Fuck,” I whisper.

“Yes, Mr. Montgomery, that’s what usually gets you into this situation.”
