One Night Baby - A Romance Compilation

by Tia Siren

  “All right, Hanna. Give me a push.”

  She bared down with the concentration of a wildebeest, and I was amazed at how strong she was. The sweat dripping from her brow trickled down and soaked her hospital gown, and every time she fell back to the bed, I wiped her face and gave her a kiss. In this very moment, I wanted to take all the pain away from her, and it killed me that I couldn’t. She was shaking with weariness and exhaustion, and I was honestly worried she wasn’t going to have the strength to push Sarah out.

  But every time she raised up to push, she surprised me with her strength and determination.

  “One last push!” the doctor exclaimed.

  “Come OOOOOOOOON!” Hanna roared. She clamped down on my hand so hard that I thought she was going to break it, but when her back slammed down for the last time, I captured her lips with mine while nurses swarmed her pelvic region.

  They rushed our little one to the table to clean her up, but I stayed by Hanna’s side. She was panting and trembling, and I knew she wanted to be the first to hold Sarah.

  “Want to cut the cord, Dad?” the doctor asked.

  Hanna shooed me away, and when I cut the cord, I couldn’t help but look down and see how beautiful Sarah was. She had Hanna’s eyes and hair, but the poor girl definitely had my chin. She was going to be just as strong and determined as her mother, apparently, because when she opened her eyes, I could tell she was going to have my color eyes as well.

  “My word, she’s already opened them!” a nurse exclaimed.

  I walked her over to Hanna, who immediately dropped her to her breast. Sarah nuzzled into her bosom before she drew Hanna’s nipple into her mouth, and I watched exactly how wonderful Hanna’s body was. Her body had not only grown my child, but it was feeding my child, and it was absolutely astounding to me.

  Tears trickled down my face as I ran my fingers through Hanna’s hair.

  “That feels good,” she whispered.

  “I’m glad, honey,” I whispered back.

  Sarah ate and I helped Hanna get cleaned up, and when we were all ready, our families swarmed our sides. Mom and Dad must’ve gotten here while Hanna was pushing, and when I saw them, I wrapped my arms tightly around them both.

  “Congratulations, Son,” my dad said.

  “She’s beautiful,” my mom said.

  “Could I hold her?” Hanna’s dad asked. I looked down at her while she looked up at her father, and without a word, she handed Sarah to him. Tears rose to his eyes, and we all watched as he pressed a kiss to her forehead. When Hanna’s hand began to tremble, I took it in mine and brought it to my lips.

  “I’m so sorry,” her dad said.

  “It’s okay, Daddy,” Hanna said.

  “When you’ve got a second, Roger, I’d like to talk to you,” I said.

  He handed the baby back to Hanna, and all of Hanna’s family followed me into the hallway. My parents stayed behind with her to ogle over the baby, but mostly they stayed behind because I’d already talked to them about this.

  The decision I was about to make.

  “Roger,” I began, “I’ll just cut to the chase.”

  “Before you begin, I just want to say how—”

  “Water under the bridge. The important thing is that you’re here for this and that you apologized to Hanna. That’s all I wanted,” I said.

  “Then what were you wanting to talk to us about?” Lisa asked.

  “Roger, Marcus, Lisa, I want your permission to ask your daughter’s and sister’s hand in marriage.”

  The entire area fell silent and I felt their stares on me, but when Marcus moved to take me tightly in his arms, I knew what the answer would be.

  “Way to go, dude,” he said.

  “You’ve got my blessing,” Lisa said with tears in her eyes.

  “I couldn’t imagine a better man being her husband,” Roger said.

  I dug around in my pocket for the ring and showed it to them. Their eyes lit up when the saw the diamond ring I’d purchased for Hanna, and they quickly swarmed the room as I sat back down beside her.

  “Hanna, baby, how’re you feeling?” I asked.

  “Tired,” she admitted.

  “Could I ask you something before you drift off to sleep?”

  “Of course,” she said with a smile. “What’s up?”

  “Well, for the past seven months, things have been—well—interesting. I fell in love with my best friend’s sister who was carrying my child, and then I made her my secretary and helped her finish her schooling early so she could graduate on time.”

  “It’s been a whirlwind, but one I wouldn’t trade for the world,” she said.

  “And now we have a family and Sarah will have my last name, and I just don’t think that’s very fair to you.”

  “No, no, no. We talked about this. Sarah should have her father’s last name,” Hanna interjected.

  “I know,” I said with a smile. I took out the box and cracked it open before I handed it to her. Her eyes grew wide as tears began to brew in them.

  “That’s why I was wondering if you’d like it, too,” I said.

  “What?”

  “Hanna Rendon, I grew up right beside you. I watched you go through elementary school and middle school. I defended you from bullies with your brother and watched you go off to college, but never in my wildest imagination did I ever think I would fall in love with you. But, just like in middle school, I want you to know that I’ll always be there. To protect you and defend you, to pull you out of pools you fall into and to catch you whenever you slip. You’ll never hit the ground so long as I’m with you, and I was wondering if you would do me the honor of marrying me.”

  “Oh my gosh, Kason.”

  Tears streamed down her face while Sarah slept in her arm, and she tossed her free arm around me and pulled me close to her. She sobbed into the crook of my neck, and my fingers fluttered through the tendrils of her hair. When she finally resurfaced, she pressed her salty lips to mine in a flurry of kisses.

  “Yes. Yes, Kason Marx, I will marry you,” she said.

  I held her in my arms while we both looked down at Sarah, and when I could, I slipped the ring from the box and placed it on her finger. Our parents were crying and Marcus was smiling, and when Hanna finally drifted off to sleep, I scooped Sarah up and walked her over to the window.

  “This is San Francisco, Sarah Marx,” I said. “This city is full of beauty and wonders, but it’s also full of people who might hurt you. I need you to know that I will never let them hurt you. Ever. You and your mother will always be safe no matter the cost to me.”

  “And so long as we’re together, you’ll always be loved.”

  I turned around at the sound of Hanna’s voice, and her arms were reached out for Sarah. I smiled and walked her back over only to place Sarah into her mother’s arms. Before I knew it, Sarah was eating again.

  “You’re incredible, Hanna,” I said.

  “And you’re mine, Kason,” she said back.

  “Always and without a doubt,” I said with a smile.

  “Always and forever,” she whispered back to me.

  Chapter One

  Michael

  The Shift wasn't one of the nicest bars in the area, but man, it could pack an attractive crowd on a Saturday night. I looked appreciatively around at the girls in high heels and short skirts. And this was just the start of the evening; the selection would get better the later it got. I knew from experience.

  You could say I was a regular. I knew all the bartenders, anyway. From the tall, athletic girl with the bright green eyes, to the blonde manager whose eyes told you she meant business, to the attractive-but-rough-looking young college dude who was behind the bar just a couple nights a week. I even knew all the DJs, and I could tell when it was going to be a good night.

  Tonight was going to be a good night.

  “Come on, man, who's your target?” Chris asked, yelling so he could be heard over the noise of pounding music and loud partiers.

  I shrugged, grinning behind my bottle of beer. “Haven't decided yet,” I told him, even though that wasn't true. But it was my turn to play wingman for Chris, so I was going to let him choose the target.

  I couldn't keep my eyes from straying in the direction of the sexy woman I was interested in, though. She had been out on the dance floor with her friends for the last twenty minutes or so, and I couldn't stop watching as she twirled, moving high and low, catching the beat as though it were ingrained somewhere deep in her soul.

  “Why don't you go ask her to dance?” Chris asked, rolling his eyes.

  “It's your turn,” I told him. “I'm playing wingman for you tonight.”

  “I can pick up on my own,” Chris snapped.

  “I know you can,” I said, holding up both hands. “But we all know that girls travel in packs, and it's easier to pick them off if you approach with a friend.”

  Chris stared at me for a long moment and then shook his head and laughed. “Go on, just go dance with her already,” he said. “You can be my wingman another night. You'll be useless to me like this anyway.”

  As if on cue, the woman stopped dancing and made her way towards us. Chris vacated his seat, as he muttered something about going to the restroom. She hopped up on the now vacant stool.

  The girl tossed back her long, dark hair. “It's hot in here,” she said, fanning herself with both hands.

  I grinned at her. “Well, you were dancing like your life depended on it,” I pointed out. “I don't think I've ever seen anybody move that smooth on the dance floor.”

  The girl laughed. “You should have come and joined me,” she said. “I could see you looking at me.”

  “I don't do that kind of dancing,” I told her, shaking my head.

  “You don't?” she asked, arching an eyebrow at me. But I could tell she was teasing; she knew exactly where I was going with this. She took a sip of her water as I shrugged.

  “I prefer to dance between the sheets,” I said. I knew the line sounded cheesy, but hey, if it worked, what did it matter?

  “Do you now?” the woman asked, leaning closer to me. “Well, unfortunately, I don't think they have any beds here.”

  “I don't think they do, and it's definitely a pity,” I said, heaving a heavy sigh. “I do, however, have a limo parked down the block. Tinted windows, soundproofed divider, total privacy. What do you say we go check it out?”

  “My friends will wonder where I am,” the girl said, looking back toward her group. But her group was moving deeper into the crowd of dangers, disappearing from sight.

  “I'm sure you can get away for just a little while,” I said, winking at her.

  She stared at the eddying crowd for a moment and then gave me a grin, hopping off her stool. “I guess you're right,” she said. “But I swear, if you're lying about the limo, I'm not going anywhere with you.”

  “I'm not lying about the limo,” I promised her. “Come see for yourself.”

  I felt a pair of eyes on me as I led the woman out the door, but when I looked back, I realized it was just that green-eyed bartender looking at our glasses and making a mental note to clear them. I gave a quick, aborted wave, but she didn't even appear to see it.

  “Oh, it's so much cooler out here!” the woman exclaimed, ducking under my arm for warmth. I grimaced, feeling how wet the back of her sweaty T-shirt was, but I didn't say anything. It occurred to me that I didn't even know the woman's name, but that hardly mattered. It wouldn't be the first time I had slept with someone whose name I didn't know, even though I didn't always pick up when I went out to bars.

  Whatever her name was, she laughed delightedly as we reached the limo. “You weren't kidding,” she said as she slid inside.

  “I wasn't kidding,” I said, fighting the urge to roll my eyes at her antics. Why would I come up to someone and tell them I had a limo if I didn't? I would be found out in all of five minutes if I did so, probably before I had a chance to get off. That would ruin the night for both of us.

  The girl turned to me, and I could see that she was about to say something else, no doubt something equally inane. Before she could do so, I shut her up with a kiss.

  Her lips were soft and pliant against mine, and when I swiped my tongue against her lips, she opened up to me, letting me inside. There was something almost clinical about kissing her, but I pushed the thought aside. It didn't matter if it was clinical, as long as we both managed to get off. And to be honest, I was already getting hard.

  The woman straddled my lap, starting to undo the buttons on my shirt. She gave me a look as though she thought she was all sexy and coy. I tried to hide how bored I was.

  Once upon a time, this meaningless sex had been enough to do it for me. Now, it was just a means to an end. I knew I would concentrate better at work the next day if I got off tonight. That was all this was about: I picked out the easiest looking girls in the bar, and I took them someplace private so that we could quickly have sex.

  Of course, there was another route that I took, with the girls that were not as easy or I liked a little better. Those girls tended to be a bit more intelligent, and they weren't as ready to give it up and spread their legs for me. Those girls, I would take out to dinner. But essentially, it was all the same: we'd go out, we'd talk about the same boring things (job, family, etc.), and then we'd go home and fuck. Then I was done with them and never see them again.

  As though sensing that my attention was waning, the girl pulled back and stripped off her panties, revealing her plush, pink hole. I undid the button of my slacks as well, pushing them and my boxer briefs down so that my swelling member was revealed. I pulled a condom out of my pocket and tore it open, slowly rolling it on.

  The girl grinned at me. “I knew you were going to be big,” she said, sounding satisfied.

  “You think you can handle that?” I asked, feeling a flicker of interest.

  She just laughed, though. “Of course, I can,” she told me. She straddled my lap again, this time without her panties on, and I positioned myself against her opening. She slid down me, going inch by slow inch, giving herself plenty of time to adjust to the intrusion.

  When she was fully seated on my length, she just sat there for a moment, and I practically writhed with impatience. I quickly grabbed her hips and jerked her up, until my penis nearly left her body, and then pulled her back down. She cried out as she was impaled on my member, and I repeated the movement a couple more times until she started moving on her own, using her thighs to pull herself up, then dropping quickly back down.

  She moaned, her head lolling against my collarbone. “Fuck, that feels good,” she told me.

  I grinned, appreciating the way that she squeezed her core muscles tight, bearing down on me. I shifted so that my hips were closer to the edge of the seat. Then, I found purchase with my heels and began to drive up into her, even as she was still dropping down into my lap. My first few bucks
caught her off guard, and I thought she was going to fly off. But I stabilized her with my hands, and soon we were working together in unison.

  She came quickly; I, on the other, seemed to be taking ages to come.

  “If you don't come soon, I'm not sure I can keep doing this,” she finally whimpered, and I could see how over-sensitive she was, in the way that she kept almost cringing at my thrusts. But she didn't tell me to stop, and indeed, she was still moving at just the same pace as before.

  She cried out, coming for the third time, her head falling back and her hands like vices on my shoulders. That wasn’t the only thing that was vice-like, though. The walls of her pussy tightened around me, squeezing my length and making me spill into the condom.

  Finally, I fell still, and she did as well. For a moment, neither of us moved. Then, she giggled softly and pulled away. “Well, that was fun,” she said to me.

  I shrugged, pulling off the condom and tying it off. I dropped it into the trash and then fixed my pants, tucking myself back in. “I need a drink,” I muttered. I didn't want to think about why I was having a more and more difficult time connecting with these women, why it was becoming increasingly difficult for me to find pleasure in my interactions with them.

  We stood outside the limo for a moment, both fixing our clothes and hair, pretending as though we hadn't just fucked.

  “So that was fun,” the girl repeated, putting an emphasis on the word “fun,” as though I might not have heard her correctly the first time. “Maybe I should give you my number, in case you want to do that again sometime.”

  “Thanks,” I said, but I had no intention of ever seeing her again. And the idea of going back into the bar with her wasn't very appealing either. I decided it was probably time to go home. I had a nice bottle of whiskey waiting for me there, and I wouldn't mind having a couple fingers of it in private as I watched the dawn arrive out my windows.

  The city was always beautiful first thing in the morning, with all the lights just coming on. And it was a Sunday morning, so it wasn't like I had anything better to do than sleep away the day, anyway.
