Reckless Redemption: A Bad Blooded Rebel Novel (Bad Blooded Rebel Series)

by Mellie George

  “Danni, baby, listen to me,” Beau said, placing his warm hands on my face and forcing me to look at him. “You are the best thing that has ever happened to me in my entire life. I am so happy with you and this baby,” he paused, placing a hand on my belly, “our little girl…Danni, I’d die without you both.”

  “Are you sure? I don’t want you to feel obligated to stay with me because of the baby.”

  Beau leaned his face close to mine and whispered, “Trust me, I’m never letting you go. I want you now and forever.”

  “I love you so much.”

  “I love you too Danni. Don’t you ever forget that,” he whispered just before he pressed his lips to mine.

  I closed my eyes and opened my mouth in invitation and he slid his tongue past my lips. Reaching out to grab his shirt, I twisted the material in my fists to keep from losing control…I couldn’t help myself. Every time Beau kissed me I lost a piece of myself to him. As we fell into each other and made love into the early morning, I prayed hard that Beau meant what he said and that I wasn’t about to lose everything I held so dear.

  “So, who’s ready to taste my meat?” Jude asked, holding up a big steak he’d just grilled.

  “Load me up, big guy,” Sadie joked, holding out a plate to him. After he placed the steak on her plate, she bumped hips with him and danced her way to the table.

  We were on the yacht that the guys and I chipped in and bought together a few years back. We were all having a great time, even me, although I was nervous as fuck as the time ticked away until sundown. Danni’s engagement ring was burning a huge hole in my pocket, but I managed to keep that hidden and still just laugh and have fun with everyone.

  It was blistering hot outside and the cool air blowing off the river felt great. All of us guys were wearing nothing but swim trunks and with the exception of Brenda, who was wearing a thin cotton dress, all of the girls were rocking some sexy bikinis.

  I was thankful we weren’t on a public beach or I’d have been beating assholes off Sadie with a stick. My sister’s tiny black bikini left very little to the imagination and even though it was just us on the yacht, I wished she would have brought something a little more modest.

  Jessie was looking good in a red two-piece, Everleigh looked like a mixture of sexy and cute in her blue two-piece with her baby belly on full display. The girl had curves all around and I can’t say I blamed Ryder for wanting to be naked with her all the time.

  However, I only had eyes for my girl. As Danni’s body filled out with our child, she looked sexier and sexier and it was getting hard for me to keep my pants on around her. There was just something so beautiful about a pregnant woman, and Danni was the most breathtaking pregnant woman I’d ever seen.

  Danni had picked out a little purple bikini and definitely wasn’t shy about flaunting her belly, which I had to admit I loved. I wasn’t one of those men who would ever tell her what she should or shouldn’t wear. It made me happy that she was proud of how her body was changing. Her top barely covered her full breasts and her bikini bottom rested just below her expanding belly. She had cutest little belly and I had to fight an erection constantly every day at the sight of her changing body.

  The sun was beginning to set and I was starting to get anxious. I had planned to propose to Danni before the fireworks started and the big moment was getting closer. Ever since we talked last night, I was careful to be happy and less nervous around her since she’d obviously been picking up on everything. I was very thankful that she hadn’t discovered my plan, but I was a little hurt that she thought I’d just up and leave her if I thought she and our baby would be too much for me. I loved Danni more than anything else in my life, and as the days passed I couldn’t wait to hold our daughter in my arms. How could she ever think I’d give all of that up? I wanted all of Danni and now all I had to do was ask her for it.

  “Beau? You there man?” Ryder asked me, nudging me with his elbow. He was holding two plates of food and offered one to me.

  “Thanks. Sorry bro,” I answered, taking a plate from him. We walked over to one of the other tables and sat down. “Guess I was spacing.”

  “Yeah, I could tell. You nervous, man?” he asked me.

  “I have been, but these past few hours have made me want to fucking puke.”

  I lowered my voice so Danni, who was sitting about six feet away from me, wouldn’t hear. “How did you deal with the nerves when you proposed to Everleigh?”

  “Simple,” he answered, taking a bite of his steak. “I already had the ring and planned on giving it to her on her birthday. The timing never seemed right to just ask, so after I took her out to dinner we came home and had some of the hottest sex ever. I proposed right after that. Like I’d barely pulled my cock out before I asked her.”

  I shook my head and barked out a laugh.

  “Jesus Christ dude,” I replied. “How a sweet girl like Everleigh hasn’t run from your perverted ass I’ll never know.”

  “She knows I’m a freak and she loves it. And don’t sit there thinking she’s all innocent, bro, because that girl can get dirty.”

  “She’d have to just to keep up with a former slut like you,” I answered.

  “Only for her now. That girl is my entire world and I love her more every day than I did the day before. My chest actually aches from how much I love Evie, especially now that she’s pregnant with our son.”

  “She does look beautiful sporting that little belly of hers,” I admitted, taking a bite of my food.

  “Well so does Danni. She’s five months pregnant and rocking a string bikini like it’s nothing. She’s hot as hell, dude.”

  “Who’s hot as hell?” asked Jude as he took a seat next to me.

  “You are, big boy,” Ryder joked, blowing him a kiss. “I was just watching you grilling that meat over there and I couldn’t help but stare at your sexy ass.”

  Jude laughed and answered, “Well you had your chance with me but you had to go and get married. What does she have that I don’t?”

  “Tits and a pussy, man,” Ryder snickered, and suddenly I heard giggling around me.

  I looked up to see Danni, Jessie, Everleigh, and Sadie all laughing at our table.

  Everleigh rolled her eyes and said, “It’s like I can’t take him anywhere.”

  Sadie took a drink of her beer and replied, “Oh trust me you have it easy. Every single place Jude and I go women are practically doing a strip tease for him. Ryder brags about you, but Jude literally has to beat the whores off of him.”

  “Aw, come on Sadie, give yourself some credit. I never have to beat them off me because you go all hell cat on them before I have a chance to speak,” Jude laughed, winking at her.

  “Shut up. It’s annoying,” she replied back to him.

  I could see the subtle blush in her cheeks, telling me that she still had feelings for him. I felt irritation at that…I tried to warn her away from him but apparently she hadn’t listened to me. She looked right at me a few months ago and told me she didn’t have a crush on him anymore. It pissed me off that she lied to me. I would talk to her about it later…I had more pressing issues to deal with at the moment. I was about to propose to my pregnant girlfriend in front of all of her family and friends and my pulse was racing out of control. “Whatever, the point is that Ryder loves Everleigh and its sweet. Moving on,” Sadie said, taking another drink of her beer.

  Danni looked over to me and smiled brightly, the setting sun casting an angelic glow on her sun kissed skin. This is it, I thought. This was going to happen now…I couldn’t wait another minute. I smiled back at her as I nervously ran my hands on my shorts under the table. I looked away from her to see Dan smiling at me with pride. He nodded, letting me know that he agreed this was the moment. I blew out a nervous breath and stood up from the table.

  I looked at Ryder and he grinned at me quickly as I stepped to where Danni was sitting.

  “Hey beautiful,�
� I said as I leaned down to kiss her plush lips. “You having a good time today?”

  “Oh yes, this yacht is amazing and the river is so beautiful at sunset.”

  I toyed with her hair, twisting the tips in my fingers. I felt my palms starting to sweat. I played with her silken locks and barely noticed when I felt her fingers intertwine with mine.

  “Beau, are you okay? You look nervous.”

  I locked eyes with her and forced a smile. I couldn’t stall any longer. Here goes nothing.

  “Yeah, baby, I’m fine. There’s just something I wanted to ask you and it’s kind of important.”

  Danni’s eyebrows furrowed and she sat up straight in her chair.

  “Is…everything alright?” she asked, her tone serious.

  “Actually it is. Everything is more than alright. My life has been damn near fucking perfect since I got you back.”

  “Then why do you look so nervous, Beau? You can tell me,” she urged.

  I looked around and noticed everyone was paying very close attention to us.

  “Danni,” I said, getting on my knees in front of her, “I am a selfish man. I know this. When I first saw you at the concert that night, I wanted you. I wanted you the way I usually wanted a woman…for just one night. I know that sounds harsh but that’s all I knew back then.

  “Then, after I talked to you and got to know you better I started to want more. But when I kissed you that first time, my whole world changed. I may not have realized it then, but the first time your lips touched mine, I belonged to you.”

  Tears were welling up in her eyes, making the blue depths of them glow in the light of the setting sun.

  “Beau,” she whispered, emotion clogging her throat.

  I took her hand in mine and before I could chicken out I pulled the ring box from my pocket. I shifted my weight to one knee and when she saw the box she gasped loudly.

  “Danni…”

  “Oh my god,” she whispered, the tears now flowing down her cheeks. I heard gasping and squealing from the girls behind me.

  “Danni,” I repeated, “there has never been anyone in my life who has fought as hard for me as you have, who has loved me as much as you have. I don’t deserve you in any way, but if you trust me with your heart I will fight every day to make sure it stays safe. I love you with everything in me.”

  I paused and opened the box. When her eyes landed on the three karat platinum diamond engagement ring I’d picked for her, her eyes went wider than they already were.

  “Daniella Elizabeth Sharpe…will you marry me?”

  My heart thudded in my chest for about a half a second while I waited for her answer…it was the longest half-second of my life. Before I began to panic, her eyes sparkled and she blurted out, “Yes! Yes, a thousand times yes!”

  I smiled so wide that my face hurt. “Yes? You’ll marry me?”

  Danni flung herself into my chest and wrapped her arms around me.

  “Yes of course I’ll marry you! Oh Beau, I love you so much,” she cried, burying her face in my neck.

  “Love you,” I mumbled out, emotion suddenly clogging my throat.

  All this time I had worried that she wouldn’t be ready…and she said yes. This wonderful, beautiful, loving, breathtaking girl was going to be my wife.

  As everyone was clapping and congratulating us, Danni whispered into my ear, “So this isn’t about the baby?”

  I pulled back and looked at her face and she was smiling.

  I grinned at her and said, “No, she’s just a bonus.”

  I placed my hand on her bare belly and leaned down to give it a kiss.

  “You hear that, Jelly Bean? Mommy said yes.”

  “I hate to interrupt, but when do we get in on the hugging?” Brenda exclaimed.

  I smiled at her and answered, “As soon as she puts this on,” and took the ring out of the box. I have to say I was kind of impressed with myself over the ring. It was an emerald cut three-carat diamond, but I had the jeweler add three aquamarines to each side to not only match Danni’s gorgeous eyes, but as a reminder of the month when we’d found each other again. I knew our little girl was due in December, but March would always hold a special place for me.

  I held Danni’s left hand in mine and slid the ring onto her finger. She smiled as she looked at the ring…it was a perfect fit.

  “It’s gorgeous, Beau. I love it.”

  As much as I wanted to kiss her and hold her and celebrate the fact that the woman I loved was going to marry me, I knew everyone wanted to offer their congratulations. I kissed her quickly before I helped her out of her chair. I pulled her into my arms, hugging her for a brief moment before I felt a big hand clap my back. I turned to see Ryder behind me, smiling. “And you were nervous,” he said. “I knew she’d say yes to your dumb ass.”

  “Shut up fucker,” I laughed and pulled him into a hug.

  “I’m happy for you, bro. Seriously,” he said.

  We broke apart and I chuckled at him.

  “Aw, you’re not going to go soft on me now, are you?”

  “Bite me,” he answered, grinning.

  As I was hugged by everyone and offered congratulations I had a hard time keeping my eyes off Danni. She looked breathtakingly happy embracing her friends and family, and showing them her ring while smiling brighter than the sun. This was such an important moment for both of us, but my cock had other ideas. Everyone wanted to celebrate, but I had my own party in mind for us.

  As soon as I made my way back to her, I took her hand and pulled her up against me.

  Leaning into her ear, I whispered, “Come with me. Now.”

  Danni looked up at me. “Okay,” she answered, confused. “Where are we going?”

  I flashed her a sexy smile and I saw her skin forming goose bumps in my peripheral vision.

  “Hey everyone, I’m going to show Danni the bedroom down below deck. We’ll be right back,” I announced. I didn’t even wait for anyone to respond as I led her down below to the bedroom at the other end of the boat.

  When I closed the door behind us, I locked it and turned to her.

  “All alone,” I said, my voice thick with desire. My eyes roamed up and down her delicious, curvy body and my dick was so painfully hard that it was about to rip through my shorts.

  “All alone,” she repeated. She began to reach behind her back to untie her bikini top but I stopped her.

  “Let me, beautiful. I want to unwrap my present.”

  She smiled and asked, “Your present, huh?”

  I moved closer to her until our bodies were almost touching.

  “Everything about you is a gift, Danni, and I feel like I just got every birthday and Christmas gift wrapped into one when you said yes to me.”

  I wrapped my arms around her. The swell of her belly against my stomach sent shivers down my spine.

  “I know our family wants to celebrate the engagement, but first I want you all to myself.”

  I moved my hands up and slowly untied the string of her top in the back and then at her neck. When it fell to the floor, I looked down at her perfect full breasts. I took one in my hand and moaned at the feel of her. They were getting bigger as she got farther into her pregnancy and my hands could barely contain them.

  Danni tossed her head back and moaned as I leaned down and sucked one of her hard nipples into my mouth. I rolled my tongue around the sweet peak as she combed her fingers through my hair and pulled gently.

  “Beau,” she whispered, my name leaving her lips almost like a prayer. “I need you now.”

  I moved my mouth to her other nipple and flicked it with my tongue.

  “Don’t you want to play a little bit first?” I mumbled against her soft skin.

  “N-no, no foreplay. I’m so fucking wet right now that I’m about to explode. Please,” she begged.

  As I kissed my way back up her chest, I slid my fingers into the bottoms of her bikini and quickly found her clit which was swollen with desire. She softly crie
d out in pleasure as I explored her drenched folds and thrust a finger inside her without warning.

  “Fuck, I love how you are always so wet for me Danni,” I murmured before my lips claimed hers again.

  I guided us back to the queen-sized bed in the middle of the room and we collapsed onto it. She slid out of her bottoms and kicked them to the floor. Her legs went slack and I settled my body between them.

  “Lose the shorts,” she commanded, hooking her feet into the waistband.

  I grinned as she pushed them down with her feet and soon they joined Danni’s bikini on the floor. When I was back between her legs, my rock solid cock was throbbing as I felt the searing heat from her pussy against me.

  I felt her hand travel down my chest and my eyes rolled back when she took my engorged length in her hand and stroked it firmly. “Oh shit,” I hissed through my teeth. “You want me bad, don’t you baby?”

  “Yes,” she whimpered. “Beau, please…please, fuck me…”

  I placed my hands on each side of her face. “Danni, I’m not going to fuck you. I know we both want this bad, but I can’t fuck you right now. You just said you will marry me…I need to make love to you.”

  She nodded and licked her plush lips.

  “Please,” she begged again, writhing beneath me. “Make love to me, Beau.”

  She moved my cock down until the head was right at her entrance.

  “Love you,” I whispered right before sliding into her and connecting us together.

  She cried out in pleasure as I gasped sharply at how amazing she felt. I started to move slowly, enjoying this moment with her. My whole body was an inferno of lust from the feel of making love to her…my fiancée. The fact that I wasn’t dreaming and that I was actually going to marry this beautiful girl made me even harder, and right then I was completely lost in my love for her. Time stood still for us as I took my time and made slow, passionate love to her.

  I felt her starting to clench around my cock and I knew she was close. Danni was breathing heavily and arching her back, her round belly pressing right into my stomach. Feeling her up against me like that was making it difficult to keep from coming right then, but I wanted her to finish first. Knowing I’d satisfied her completely always made my release follow not long after hers.
