IRISH: a Bad Boy Fighter Romance (21 page)

“We’re havin a baby,” I said, setting the pregnancy test down on the table beside me. “My god, kitten, ye just made me the happiest god damned man alive.”

“I thought you’d be excited,” she said, “Daddy.”

I kissed her, crushing my lips on hers and felt a surge of desire race through me. My cock threatened to tear through my pants as I held her close and kissed her deep.

I pulled back suddenly and said, “Shite, kitten. I should be more careful. I don’t wanna hurt ye and the wee one.”

“I’m pregnant, not dying,” she said and grabbed the lapels of my tuxedo. “And I’m so freaking horny right now I’m going to die if I don’t get a good fuck, Knox. So let’s get going, we don’t have much time.”

“Are ye sure it won’t hurt ye? Or the baby?” I asked as she dragged me towards the bed.

“I’m sure
I’ll
hurt
you
if you don’t hurry up,” she laughed and fell backwards in a cloud of wedding gown and lacey garters.

I unzipped my pants and managed to navigate my way between her white shapely thighs. She shuddered as I teased her hot slit with the head of my cock.

“Come on,” she begged and tugged me towards her. She wrapped her long legs around my hips and dragged me forwards.

“What are ye wantin, kitten?” I asked with a smirk.

“I want…no…fuck…I
need
you, Knox. I need you to fuck me hard, I need it so bad I’m going to lose my mind if you don’t slide that cock inside of me and pound me fast and deep right now,” she moaned and arched herself up, opening herself to me.

“As you wish, my wife,” I growled and grasped her hips. I plunged forward and slid myself inside her velvet heat until I bottomed out and she cried in joy.

“I love you,” she groaned and writhed as I picked up speed.

“I love ye too,” I growled, thrusting harder and harder until I felt her body tighten like a bow waiting to be released.

And at once she released, her pussy clenching and her body thrashing beneath me as I joined her in our mutual bliss. The last time I would fill her cunt as my fiancée, for in less than an hour she would be my bride.

And my partner in life.

Chapter Fifty

Lennon

I barely remembered saying our vows, and I was so happy to have the wedding photos otherwise I might have forgotten what my dress even looked like.

I’d been walking on a cloud that day from the news of my pregnancy and my insatiable hormones combined. Luckily Knox had, as always, been ready to go. I’d worried that him seeing me in my wedding dress would bring bad luck, but after that pounding I knew there was nothing but goodness in our future.

We hadn’t had time for much of a honeymoon. As promised I’d taken him back to my hometown and shown him the little place I’d grown up in.

We hadn’t run into too many people I knew, but everywhere we’d gone Knox had been asked for autographs and photos. I was getting pretty good with being on the sidelines…and taking pictures for Knox’s fans.

It had been about a month since the wedding and other than my insatiable hormones, my body hadn’t changed too much. Melody kept laughing at me and warning me that it would change soon enough.

Jessica and Charlotte had managed to get together and were planning a baby shower for me. At least I though they were, it was supposed to be a surprise but Jessica had accidentally CC’ed me on a planning email. It had amazed me and made me cry to see how many people had been on that list, former coworkers, George and his wife, Katie of course.

I loved having friends, and I loved having people care for me in my life. It wasn’t something I was used to, but I was getting there slowly.

I was getting ready to go to pick Katie up and head out for a little shopping as promised. Knox was training but I thought she could use a girl’s day and some time away from the rehab program.

She was doing amazingly well, it seemed as soon as she had her brother in her life again she changed her life around completely.

She was waiting for me in front of the clinic, she’d filled out and she resembled Knox even more than ever.

“Wow, you look great,” I said as the driver opened the door for her.

“So do you,” she replied. “Any news on whether I’m having a niece or a nephew yet?”

“Not yet, but everybody seems to think it’s going to be a boy,” I replied with a laugh.

“What do you think? My mom always said a woman knew what she was having before she gave birth through her dreams,” Katie replied with a smile.

“Oh god, I’m having a grilled cheese sandwich then,” I snorted. “That’s all I’m dreaming of…grilled cheese and milk.”

“Maybe it is a boy then,” she replied. “I think there’s an old wives tale that says sweet cravings mean a girl, savory cravings mean a boy.”

“I guess we’ll all find out soon enough,” I replied with a little smile, putting my hand on my stomach as if looking for any sign that there was a baby in there.

Katie and I had a fantastic day. We needed it to get to know each other even more and I’d felt good being able to pay for anything she wanted.

Once she realized it was Knox’s money she’d loosened up a little. I supposed it was strange to think of me as family yet, but we’d get there. I had a feeling the baby would help that.

I dropped her off and told the driver to swing by the gym to pick up Knox. He jumped in as soon as we got there, his smile huge and his face sweaty.

“Ah, kitten, I fekking missed ye today,” he said and pulled me onto his lap.

“You’re all wet,” I protested, wondering if sweat would stain my new jacket. His hand moved a little lower and suddenly I didn’t care.

“So are ye,” he said in a thick voice as his hands moved past my waistband and lower still. “Yer soaked for me. Yer body craves its King.”

“I always am,” I replied and twisted so I could face him and kiss him.

Knox O’Connor was still an arrogant prick most of the time. He left the toilet seat up and dropped his sweaty clothes everywhere he felt like. He was demanding and aggressive…and rarely took no for an answer.

But he was mine. And I was his. And he was generous and loving, loyal and fucked me like a demon. He made me feel secure and loved and safe from harm.

And that was worth a thousand other men in my opinion.

“See? Ye don’t care if I’m sweaty, kitten,” he growled and nipped the flesh at my neck, just under my ear. “Yer body’s in tune with mine, ye want me to slide me thick cock inside ye, don’t ye?”

I sighed heavily and shuddered as his finger moved against my clit, sending snakes of pleasure chasing each other up and down my spine.

“I do,” I exhaled. “I want you always, Knox. Always and forever.”

“Then that’s exactly what ye’ll get, kitten,” he replied and pulled me down for a kiss.

EPILOGUE

Chapter Fifty One

Knox

“Ye look beautiful, kitten, stop pulling at yer skirt. Yer gonna ruin it,” I said and watched Lennon shift uncomfortable in her seat yet again. I leaned close to her and said, “I want te be the one ruining it later when I tear it off ye.”

Lennon blushed and smiled but still seemed uncomfortable.

We were at Katie’s official graduation from the rehab program and Lennon was nearing the end of her pregnancy. She was huge, I ain’t gonna lie, but she was fekking gorgeous. I realized I didn’t care how much she weighed, her beauty was from within and I still wanted te get in her as much as I could.

These days it wasn’t often enough. She felt big and ungainly and I could tell her feet hurt and her self esteem had taken a beating. So I made do with giving her foot rubs and slipping inside of her when she’d allow it.

I didn’t know how men fekking cheated. Even in this condition and with Lennon’s lowered sex drive, she filled me mind with her image until there was no room for any other woman.

Now that was true love te me.

“I know,” Lennon said and shifted on the hard little plastic chair. The rehab center had air conditioning but there were too many people packing into the little conference room and I could see me kitten starting to sweat. “I just can’t seem to catch my breath.”

“It’s hot in here,” I said and put my hand on her back. She was soaked through her maternity dress already. I grabbed the program and began to fan her face, helping her cool down.

“Oh god, thanks,” she said and closed her eyes, tilting her head back and exposing her beautiful white neck. Fek how I wanted to kiss her there, nibble her perfect skin and strip her naked.

I contained myself and kept fanning her until she smiled and grabbed my wrist. “Thank you,” she said. “You’re too good to us.”

She pulled my hand towards her and placed it on her stomach. I didn’t know what she was getting at until I felt the wee babe rippled under her skin like a little fish under my hand.

“Ah, there he is,” I said with a wide grin.

“Or she,” Lennon replied with her brow arched.

We’d decided to be completely surprised and had opted out of the ultrasound. I teased Lennon mercilessly about wanting me little fighter, but truth te god’s ear I didna care. Boy or girl I was just overcome with love for me child and me wife.

“Oh there’s Katie,” Lennon said and the crowd shifted around us, we all looked towards the front where the twelve successful rehab members were standing. “She looks really great.”

“She does,” I said but I still worried about me little sister. She still looked too skinny and too wide eyed. She’d slipped up again since we’d brought her here and I worried that the change in scenery was too much for her.

She needed a job. Or a good boyfriend. Something to keep her on her toes and away from the crap that had taken her from me.

I hoped becoming an aunt to the wee babe would help break her free from the drugs. Maybe coming back into the family would give her the strength to stay clean this time.

The ceremony was over quickly and Lennon practically ran us over with her race to the bathroom. She mentioned something about the baby bouncing on her bladder and I chuckled at her adorable little waddle.

God I loved that woman.

“What do you think, brother?” Katie asked me as we waited for Lennon.

“About what?”

“Can I do it this time?”

“Ye know ye can,” I smiled and put my arm around her thin shoulders. “I feel like I let ye down once before but I’m sticking with ye as long as ye need this time, Katie dear.”

“Thank you, Knox,” she said and gave me a sad smile. “I truly thought ye’d given up on me ye know. That’s what hurt more than any of the whoring or drugs they made me do.”

“Never,” I replied and kissed the top of her head. “I never would and I won’t now. Lennon loves ye too, ye know. She’ll never turn her back.”

Lennon joined us at last and we went for lunch at Katie’s favorite restaurant to celebrate her success.
