Days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months. Every week I can see the way Siena’s body changes, and fuck does it turn me on. She’s still kind of pissed that we will never be getting married, but I have a plan to get back in her good graces.
We’ve been here for five months and I can tell she’s getting antsy, and is ready for the baby to be here.
Sitting on the couch, I turn on some movie that we bought a few days ago, and grab the beer off the coffee table. Putting my feet up, I get comfortable and try to relax on my first day off in weeks.
I took a job at the mechanic shop downtown to make some cash, and the owner offered to pay me under the table when I told him that we were hiding out from her father. He was glad to help, and I’m just glad that the people in this town have taken to us. They treat us like we’re their family, and I couldn’t be more grateful.
Sally even paid Siena under the table for the last few months, too. We’ve been lucky to find such great people.
“Slade!” Siena screams. Getting up, I run into the room and see her on the bed. My eyes scan her to make sure she’s okay and when I see that she's fine, I see that she has the box I bought a couple of days ago in her hand. When she looks up at me with wide eyes, I can’t help but smile. She had no clue, and I’m glad I was able to keep the secret longer than I thought I would.
“What’s this?” She whispers. Walking over to her, I sit of the bed next to her and take the box from her open palm.
“What do you think it is?” She gives me the stink eye and I kiss her forehead, chuckling.
Pulling the ring out of the box, I grab her hand and slide the ring on her left ring finger. “I know I can’t give you the wedding you want, but I can give you this ring so you know that I’m in this with you one hundred percent. We can go get me a ring, too, if you want, but just know that for as long as you have this ring, it means I am yours, and only yours.”
She puts her hand to her mouth and starts to cry. Pulling her into my lap, I hold her. “Sloane.” She whispers. She moves so she can wrap her legs around me, and I scoot back on the bed. “I can’t believe you did this. I love you so much.” She wipes her nose with her hand and I can’t help but think how sexy she is. She leans forward and presses her lips against mine. Her belly gets in the way a little, but I don’t even care. She’s even more beautiful now.
Her belly isn’t as big as I’ve seen some women have, but I wouldn’t even mind if it was.
“I know how much you want to get married, so I gave you the next best thing. Well besides my dick.” I wink at her and she shakes her head and pushes at my chest. “I give you that on a daily basis.”
“God, I don’t even know what to do with you sometimes.” She groans, pushing me away from her.
I pull her closer and whisper in her ear, “I know, you can suck my dick for getting you an awesome birthday present.” Her eyes shoot up to mine, and she gives me a strange look.
“You knew that today was my birthday?” She asks like it’s impossible that I would know what today was.
“Yeah Siena, I know more about you than you think. I know your favorite color is red, that you hate milk, that you hate ketchup, and that you love some of the eighties hair bands.” Her eyes start to water, and I grin at her. Wiping the tears that start to fall down her face, I pull her mouth to mine and press a sweet kiss on her lips.
“I feel like you know more about me than I know about you.” Her lip pokes out, but I don’t even care about that. I just care about her being happy, and safe.
“You probably know more about me than most people. You’ve been living with me for five months. You just don’t realize what you know about me.” She frowns and I can see her trying to think of something, anything.
“I don’t even know what kind of family you come from.” The tears start to fall down her face faster, and I know she’s upset that she doesn’t know some of the easy things, such as who my parents are.
“They aren’t much to mention. You don’t want to know the type of home I came from before I met you. Trust me baby, it’s better if you didn’t know.” She gives me the sad puppy dog face again, and I give into her. I always fucking give in to her.
“From what I can remember, my parents were good people until I turned about ten and they had some money trouble. Bad turned to worse and pretty soon they were spending all the money that they did have on drugs. They forced me to steal until I ran away. They aren’t the type of people you write home about, and I’m glad I ran. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t have you right here with me and we wouldn’t be having this baby.” I run my nose along her jaw and she takes a deep breath.
“I guess I never realized how lucky I was growing up.” She sniffles.
I wipe the tears from under her eyes and kiss her cheek. “I’m a better man for what I went through. I know that I would never do that shit to my child, and I would do anything in my power to make sure both you and the baby were safe.” She leans forwards to kiss me, and the baby kicks. Her hand goes to her stomach and she looks up at me with a watery grin.
We didn’t find out the sex of the baby because we wanted it to be a surprise. We’ve had such a great time picking out names and buying shit that didn't matter if we were having a boy or a girl. Either way, this child was going to be the greatest gift either of us has received.
“Sloane, I want to do something special tonight.” She states matter-of-factly.
“What’s that?” I eye her and she just grins back at me. She climbs off my lap and grabs both of my hands, pulling me with her.
“You’ll have to wait and see, baby daddy.” She drags me into the living room and then we make our way towards the front door. I watch the way her ass jiggles as she leads me outside to the car, and I can’t wait to get her naked and on top of me later tonight. She’s been horny as fuck since she’s been pregnant and I couldn’t love it any less if I tried. She wants me to fuck her anywhere and everywhere. Maybe that’s what special thing she has planned for tonight.
She walks over to her side and I open the door and help her in. Before I shut the door and walk away, she pulls me in for a scorching hot kiss. When I close the door and walk around the car, I touch my lips and think about how fucking lucky I am that she fell for me.
Getting in, I start the car and look over at her. She has a huge smile on her face and I love seeing her this way. “Where to, baby?”
“Take me anywhere.” She gives me a devious grin and I pull out of the drive way and take off towards our favorite spot out here.
When I pull into the small clearing, I shut the car off and get out. Walking over to her side, I check the area before I actually open her door. You can never be too careful anymore, especially since we still have her father after us. I talked to Gully the other day, and he was telling me that they are still trying to track us down. He keeps me in the loop as much as he can, but I know that at some point they are going to figure it out. They are just too stupid to see what’s right in front of their faces right now.
Helping Siena out of the car, I wrap my arm around her and pull her into my side. We slowly walk up the patch that leads us right to our spot. It isn’t much, but it does have one of the coolest views that I have ever seen before.
When we get to the top, I help her take a seat on the rock bench that we always sit on and I sit next to her. “I love this place.” She whispers. Looking over at her, I see the way her eyes take in the scene before us. She is always so damn happy here that I wish I could find a place that’s closer, but I can’t. Well, at least not one that I can afford.
Putting my hand on her stomach, I feel the baby kick and I fall in love with him or her even more than before. I can’t wait to meet this little one, and I sure as hell am ready to be able to fuck Siena anyway I want again.
“I know you’re thinking about sex.” She giggles.
I look over at her and she puts her hand over her mouth and tries not to laugh too much. “And how do you know that?” I lean over and nuz
zle my face into her neck.
“Because you get this grin on your face, it’s so obvious.” Kissing the top of her head, I ignore the comment. Yeah it’s probably true, but I don’t let her know that.
We both sit and stare out at the mountains that surround us. She rests her head on my arm, and I just relish in the feel of her body against mine. The sound of the quiet is peaceful, and, although I love it, I can’t wait for the sounds of a baby filling our home either.
“What are you thinking about?” I move a strand of her hair out of her face, and she smiles.
“Just how I still can’t believe that this is our life. I’m sure my father is still looking for us, but I wouldn’t want to be anywhere but here, right here in your arms.” Running my fingers down her arms, I can’t agree more.
“You know that when he finds us, he’s going to try and kill me.” She frowns at my statement, but I want her to be ready in case anything happens to me.
“But you wouldn’t leave us.” Her voice breaks, and she gets up and stands in front of me.
“I won’t, but you have to be ready in case something does happen.” I take her hand and kiss her knuckles.
She leans forward and kisses me. She knows just as well as I do that we are on borrowed time unless I can find us a way out of it. I’m still trying to figure this shit out, but I don’t want to make her promises that I can’t keep.
“Fin, just know that no matter what happens, I love you both, and I will never stop fighting for either of you.” She gives me a sad smile and my phone starts to ring.
“Yeah?” I answer on the third ring.
“Oh, sweetheart! I’m so glad I got ahold of you. There was a strange man in here asking about a Sloane and Siena. I suggest you stay gone until the coast is clear.” I look down at Siena and she has a scared expression on her face.
“Thank you Sally. I really appreciate you giving us a heads up. Can you let me know when the coast is clear?”
“Of course, my dear. I would hate to see anything bad happen to you or your little family. I’ll let you know when he leaves town. Stay safe, my dears.”
“We will. Thank you, again.” I watch as my screen darkens, and I look at Siena. She has a terrified look on her face and I hate seeing her like that.
“Slade.” She whispers.
“Just stick to the names, and no one will know the difference. Sally and the doc are the only ones that know our real names and I trust them both.” She nods her head, but she doesn’t say anything.
“If you want, I can fuck you until you can’t remember what you’re even worried about.” This time she cracks a smile and pushes at my stomach.
“You’re such a pig.” She goes to walk away, but I don’t let her. Instead, I pull her into my lap and bury my face into her neck.
“It worked though, didn’t it?” Her whole body wracks with laughter, and I’m glad I can at least get her mind off of everything for right now. She doesn’t deserve to live in fear anymore, and I sure as hell don’t want our child to live this life either.
We hang out and watch the sun set as we wait to hear from Sally. When we finally get the word, I get her home. The whole way to the house is silent, and I know we are both worried about what can happen. I will do everything in my power to protect them, and I’m going to start tonight.
Grabbing my duffle bag, I quietly grab some clothes and shove them inside. I know when she wakes up, she’s going to be pissed off at me for leaving her, but I need to settle this once and for all. I don’t want her to have to live in fear, and if going there and dealing with her father makes it possible, then so be it.
I may not live to see my child born, but at least I’ll know that they are free from under his thumb. Looking back at the bed, I see her face and it kills me to leave. She looks so peaceful and happy lying in our bed. Closing my eyes, I try not to think about it. I’ll call Sally in a few hours and have her check on Siena.
Walking over to her, I place one last kiss on her forehead before I leave. The note on my side of the bed explains what I’m doing, and why I have to do it. I know she may not agree with it, but I’m doing it for her. Everything I’ve done for the past five months has been for her.
Walking out the door, I get in the car, and take off without looking back. I know that if I do, I won’t be able to leave her again.
I drive for hours, and when the sun is finally coming up, my phone starts to ring. When I look down at the screen, I see her face smiling back at me. She knows I’m gone, and I know that she’s going to try and talk me out of it. My mind is already made up and there is nothing she can do to change it.
“Siena.” I start, but she stops me.
“Sloane, don’t you dare try and tell me you’re protecting me. You left in the middle of the fucking night. Are you too much of a coward to say it to my face?” I knew she’d be angry, but I didn’t expect this.
“If I would have left while you were awake, I would have you in this fucking car with me and that is not going to fucking happen. I’m protecting both of you. You don’t deserve the life your father has brought you up in, and I’m trying to make sure that it doesn’t happen to our child, too. You want to be pissed, fine be fucking mad at me. But don’t ever call me a coward when all I’ve ever done was protect you and our baby. This is never going to end unless I fucking end it.” I can hear her crying on the other end and I want to turn around and comfort her, but I can’t. I have a job to do, and I sure as hell am not letting anything get in the way of that.
“Sloane,” She whispers. Her anger is gone and I know that the tears and hurt are going to be what carries her through this. “Don’t you dare die on me, I cannot do this alone. I need you here holding my hand.”
I pull into a gas station and put the car in park. Closing my eyes, I rest my head on the headrest and sigh. “I will never leave you alone Siena. I’ll do whatever I need to insure both of you are safe. You’re my fucking life and I won’t do anything to jeopardize that.” She sucks in a breath and I can still hear her soft cries.
I can imagine her lip wobbling as she tries to get her composure. She probably has her hand on her stomach, rubbing it in a soothing manner. All the things I love about her come to mind, and I get this sick feeling that I might not make it home to her. That I might not make it home to watch our child being born.
“Sloane if you die on me, I’ll lose the rest of me, too. You’re everything I always wished for and now that I’ve had you, I can’t let you go.” She sniffs a few times before she continues. “No matter what my father tries to do or say, I won’t ever let him win, and I won’t ever marry someone that he forces me to. In just a year, you’ve shown me more love than my family ever has. You’re my family. This baby is our family.”
“You know I’ll do everything I can to make sure I come back to you. Just know that I love you more than I’ve ever loved anyone, and I wouldn’t change a thing about us. I know I sound like a pussy whipped bitch right now, but Siena you’re it for me.” Opening my eyes, I see a tweaker staring at me like I have something he wants. The hairs on my neck stand, and I know that they are watching me.
It probably didn’t take much to find out that I’m back in town.
“Just promise when you come back for us, that you give me a little of that asshole lovin’ I fell in love with.” Smirking, I can’t help but think about the way I treated her in the beginning.
“I’ll give you whatever you want baby. I have to go, one of your father’s bitches is here. Make sure you remember the plan, and make sure you do everything I told you to. I’ll find you.” I hear her start to cry again, and I know that I’m killing her inside. She never wanted to go through with our backup plan, but I can’t let her stay out in the open.
“I’ll go, but promise me this isn’t the end.” She whimpers.
“This is only the beginning. Get a new phone, and break the one you have.” I look in the rearview mirror, and I see someone coming towards the car. “Siena, go now.”
My door opens and one of Xavier’s men pulls me out of the car and pushes me up against the side of it. His hand goes to my throat and I remember this fucker pretty well. He is one of his enforcers. I never really dealt with him much, and hell I don’t even remember his name. Which doesn’t mean much to me… I could care less who the fuck he is.
“Look what the cat drug in,” he sneers before kicking my legs out from under me. I let him think that he’s got the best of me. I don’t want them to know that I actually have a plan. Another guy comes up behind me and they both pick me up, and all but drag me to the SUV.
The ride to the house is a quiet one, and I can feel the gun that’s been shoved into my side. I don’t even bother to say anything, even though it’s on the tip of my tongue. They will know soon enough how much hate I have for their boss.
“It’s a shame that Siena went and got knocked up by your stupid ass.” The one next to me chuckles.
“Not at all.” I grin. “She was a fucking tiger in the sheets before, and now?” I let out a whistle. “You should see the way she craves my dick now.”
I see the guy up front look back at me in the mirror and I just stare at him back. “You know, all of us have already had a piece of that ass. She may know how to use her mouth, but that’s about it.” The one from beside me speaks up.
Turning to him, I smirk. “You got a piece of that ass, too?” He smiles back at me like I’m going to fucking congratulate him or something, but he has another thing coming.
“Fuck yeah I did. I made her ride me all night long.” Before he even knows what hit him, I grab his wrist and turn his gun until it’s aimed right at his fucking side, and pull the trigger. The bang of the gun echoes in the SUV, and window shatters but doesn’t fall on him.
