The Cowboy's Baby_Mpreg Romance

“Why exactly wouldn’t I be here?” She looked at him sweetly and it gave him the strangest feeling.
“I would have brought you something later.”
“Your father and I are capable of walking here on our own. Besides, I’ve been dying for one of those fancy coffees. Come along, I see Denny and Bill are here and it’s been a while since we all sat and chatted.”
“He’s busy, Mama, don’t bother him,” Kane said to her, gently putting a hand on her shoulder.
“Bill and Denny aren’t busy,” she said innocently.
“I’m talking about Cole, he’s busy so let him be.” The look on her face told him he’d guessed right. He wanted to give Cole some time before he introduced him to his parents. Even though he worked on the farm and there was always a chance they could have bumped into each other. But Cole had been working later the closer the date for the opening came.
“Seriously, Kane, I just want to congratulate the man on a job well done. What’s wrong with that?’
“Nothing, just wait until he’s on a break and then I will introduce you.” He stepped on the other side of his dad and ignored the man when he tried to bat away Kane’s hand from helping him to walk. His mother tutted and walked off the other way to stand in line.
“You can’t blame her, son,” his father said to him as he sat down. “This is the first time we’ve seen you interested in anyone. I have to admit, I’m excited to meet the young man myself.”
“Oh brother,” Kane mumbled and sat in the empty chair beside his father.
Kane looked over toward the counter hoping to see Cole, but he was nowhere in sight. Come to think of it, neither was his mother. He snapped his head to over where Bill and Denny sat and didn’t see her speaking with them. He quickly scanned the cafe, and she was not to be found. He was on his feet and without saying anything, his long legs ate up the floor as he headed around the counter toward the kitchen. He was about to burst through the kitchen doors but stopped himself.
What the hell am I nervous about? They were bound to meet sooner or later. I’m overreacting over nothing.
Kane had strong feelings for Cole and found that he hated being away from the man for too long before his need to see or hear his voice became overwhelming, just to remind himself that the man was his. Each time they made love, he knotted and bit the nape of his neck. He’d long ago acknowledged that the fates were currently laughing their asses off at how foolish he was to not believe in the idea of mates or that he had one.
Sighing, he gently pushed the door open just a bit to eavesdrop on their conversation, in case he had to protect Cole from his mother. He was happy to be greeted with laughter. He smiled and was about to walk away and order some coffee for him and his dad when Cole spoke. “He was so adorable when he was a baby.”
She didn’t! Dread filled him as he realized that his mother was showing Cole his baby pictures.
"I bet he grunted at everything even then."
“He sure did,” Julia said followed by more laughter.
Deciding that it wasn’t worth going into the kitchen, he backed away and went to order coffee and cinnamon buns for him and his dad.
At least they like each other.
“You were such a cute baby, and your dimples added to your adorableness.”
They were lying in bed with Cole’s head on Kane’s chest as his fingers gently massaged his scalp.
“I’m still adorable.”
“Conceited much,” he said with a snicker.
Once the door opened, the cafe got busy, and he’d gone to the kitchen to check on the pies that were baking and get more of the pastries he’d baked to replenish the finished trays. He was so busy he was surprised when he turned around and there was a woman with the same eyes as Kane’s standing in his kitchen looking at him, or rather his stomach.
He wasn’t sure what he was supposed to do, hug her, curtsey, or drop to his knees. That was his first time meeting one of his lovers’ mothers. He’d heard a lot about Julia Cartwright since he’d decided to stay in Montana. He’d heard about her kindness, but her toughness as well. Not only that, Kane loved his mother dearly and it showed on his face every time he talked about her.
“Hi,” Cole said. “Um . . . can I help you?”
“No, I just wanted to meet you and welcome you to the family. I’m Kane’s mother, Julia Cartwright.”
He went to shake her hand but realized that he had a tray in his hands. Setting it down, he wiped his hands off on his apron. “Colton Bradford, but everyone calls me Cole.” She took his hand, and he prayed she didn’t notice he was shaking.
“It’s so nice to finally meet you, Cole. I’ve heard so much about you from your dads and Kane.” He released his hand and stepped closer. She raised a hand and went to touch his stomach and stopped herself. “May I?”
Cole couldn’t believe she was asking to touch his stomach. Usually, when people met him for the first time, they instantly went for his stomach which irritated the hell out of him. He was close to seven months and there wasn’t any way of hiding his stomach, even if he tried.
“Yes.”
“Thank you, I know how annoying it can be when someone meets you and the first thing they do is rub your stomach.”
She placed a hand on the top and it was as if his child knew they were being observed and kicked her hand. They both giggled as she removed her hand and stepped back.
“So tell me, do you love my son?”
Cole’s eyes widened, shocked that she would ask him that. He knew he had strong feelings for Kane but hadn’t attributed it to love, not yet.
“No disrespect, Missus Cartwright, I think that’s something I need to say to Kane before I say it to you.”
She stared at him for a few seconds and Cole thought maybe he did disrespect her after all.
She smiled and a small part of him relaxed. “I see why he likes you.” She stepped into his personal space staring into his eyes. They were the same height, and he suspected she was trying to intimidate him. “But hurt my son and I will hurt you in ways you’ve only seen in your nightmares.”
Cole understood what she was trying to do. She was like a mama bear protecting her cub. “Lady, I’ve been beaten and left for dead, and I’m not afraid of you.”
She stepped back and chuckled. “I have a feeling you and I will get along very well.”
“Good, Kane would be happy if you and I got along.”
“When you are ready, I would like to hear what idiot beat you up and left you for dead. I know people who can do things and make sure he never bothers you or anyone else.”
Was she saying that she would have Ryker killed? He might have hated the man, but having him killed was not on his list. “Um . . . you don’t have to do that.”
“Well, if you change your mind, let me know.”
Her nonchalant attitude about killing was starting to scare him, despite what he said a few minutes earlier. She reached into her purse and pulled out her wallet. “Come over here, I brought some of Kane’s baby pictures.” He leaned his hip on the silver counter in the middle of the kitchen and looked at baby Kane on his stomach smiling up and looking at the camera showing his cute little dimples.
“I like your mom,” he said coming out of his thoughts. “She was easy to talk to, and I was completely unprepared to meet her today. But I think that’s how she wanted our meeting to be.” He hadn’t told Kane about the threat, or the fact that his mother offered to have Ryker killed.
“I’m glad that you two got along, but I wish she hadn’t shown you my baby pictures.”
Cole raised his head and looked at his lover. Since Julia asked him if he loved Kane that day he hadn’t stopped thinking about it. Do I love Kane? He was about to ask Kane if he loved him, but stopped, deciding not to.
“Don’t be mad at her, she was using the pictures to connect with me. She also gave me some pointers for when the baby is born.”
“I’m glad,” Kane said looking at him wit
h a smile on his face. “If I haven’t told you today, I’m proud of you.”
“For what?”
“The cafe opening was terrific, and I know with you at the helm it’s going to be a success.”
“Thank you.” Cole scooted up and kissed his lover gently. He pulled back and gazed into his blue-gray eyes. Are you in love with me? Cole asked mentally. Not wanting to know in that moment, he kissed Kane deeper and with more passion. He knew he was using sex to hide what he was feeling, but it was all he could use to express his own feelings that he wasn’t sure about as well.
Kane groaned into their kiss gently cupping the back of his neck, taking their kiss deeper. Slowly they separated, Cole looked at him and a deep emotion he’d never felt before washed over him. Love, he was starting to fall in love with Kane. He trailed the tips of his fingers down his lover’s chest circling both of his nipples then down to his belly button staying there for a few seconds.
He never took his eyes off Kane’s face, wanting to remember every expression. His hand moved down and gripped his lover’s hard cock, brushing his thumb over the head and stayed there not moving his fist. Kane gasped then groaned when he swirled his tongue around the nipple closest to him. Kane’s hips jerked up as if begging him to move, but Cole wasn’t ready, he wanted Kane needy and incoherent.
He bit down lightly, pulling on the pink nub of Kane’s nipple, drawing a hiss from him. His fingers snaked down, brushing them against his balls. He released his lover’s nipples and licked his way down his body, stopping at his pelvic bone and staying there for a bit, taking in Kane’s masculine scent.
Large fingers gripped the back of his head, trying to guide it down to his cock, but Cole still wasn’t ready to give him what he wanted. For once he was in charge of what would happen in the bedroom and he was going to take advantage of it. Slowly, his fingers traveled further down, caressing Kane’s perineum before teasing them between the cheeks of his ass. Kane’s breath hitched and his legs widened.
Going to his knees he threw the sheets off Kane, revealing his beautiful body and was glad they slept naked. Cole leaned down and kissed him on his lips before turning around, opening the drawer to grab the lube. He opened the bottle, squirting a good amount on his fingers.
Throwing the bottle to the side of the bed, he leaned back down and kissed Kane while his hand reached between his legs, pushing his fingers between his butt cheeks, brushing them against his hole. Kane bent his knees and widened his legs which gave him better access. Pulling away from their kiss he wasted no time and leaned down, taking the head of his lover’s cock between his lips. Kane groaned long and hard as one of his hands went to the back of his neck.
“Shit,” he moaned when Cole inserted one of his fingers into his hole.
Slowly he bobbed his head up and down while moving his finger in and out of Kane’s hole.
“Oh fuck.” Kane’s breathing came out in pants while more of his cock disappeared inside Cole’s mouth.
He added another finger, and Kane’s legs went wider. His fingers squeezing the back of his neck. He pulled his lips from his lover’s cock and dragged his lips down the side of his shaft. Kane’s hips jerked up when he brushed against his prostate.
“Oh sh—”
Cole smiled, loving the fact that he was driving his man crazy. He took Kane’s cock back into his mouth, taking it all the way to the back to his throat and hollowing his cheeks as he pulled back to the head before doing it all over again. Kane became impatient as his large hand was back on his head guiding his movements. His hips moved at the same rhythm of his head as he fucked himself on Cole’s fingers and his mouth. His growls and groans brought pleasure to Cole.
He reached down with his free hand, gripping his own cock that was leaking and begging for attention. Kane moved one of his hands from Cole’s head gliding it down his back and stopping at his ass, grabbing and squeezing it. He smacked it lightly and Cole’s hips jerked, pushing his ass up in Kane’s hand, wordlessly asking for more. Kane smacked his ass once more, that time a bit harder, and the sting sent a shiver down his body causing him to lose his concentration on what he was doing.
A third smack, harder than the first two, caused him to see stars. Sweat beading on his skin, he was so turned on he wanted more. Kane’s fingers moved between his cheeks and entered him.
“Don’t stop, baby, make me cum,” Kane told him.
Cole’s mouth and fingers had stopped moving as he waited to see what Kane was going to do next. He didn’t want Kane’s fingers inside of him, he wanted something larger stretching him and making him cum. Removing his lips from Kane’s cock, and his fingers from his ass, he looked up at his lover.
“I want you inside of me.”
Removing his finger from Cole’s ass, Kane said, “Ride me.”
Not needed to be told twice, he straddled his lover’s hips. Leaning forward, he rested one hand on Kane’s chest as he gripped the man’s cock with the other. Slowly Cole slid down on Kane’s cock, gasping with every inch that filled him. Once he was fully seated, he leaned down and kissed his lover as the other man’s hands went to his hips.
He leaned back, gripping onto Kane’s forearms and delightfully rode his lover’s cock until they were both panting for breath. He never took his eyes off Kane who was gazing at him the entire time. There was so much that Cole wanted to say but words failed him, the only sounds that escaped his lips were groans and grunts until cum spurted from the head of his cock, landing on Kane’s chest.
Kane wasn’t far behind Cole; his strokes became shorter as their skin smacked together echoing in the room. His fingers digging into his sweet lover’s hips. He couldn’t keep his eyes off Cole, he loved watching his face as the other man came. The pleasurable glow on his face made him proud that he was the one that put the look on Cole’s face.
Kane felt his cock swell as cum seared his lover’s channel, making him his. He didn’t dare try to pull out, knowing that his knot was forming. His gums ached to sink his teeth into Cole’s neck, deepening their connection. It happened each time they made love, and he never got tired of it. It was as if he needed to stake his claim each time they made love.
As if knowing what he needed, Cole leaned forward giving him the nape of his neck. Kane clamped onto his skin and slowly ran a stripe from his neck to the back of his ear then down again, sinking his teeth into the sweet flesh. A few times he’d bit down so hard he tasted blood, but it didn’t turn him off, instead it did the opposite.
His hips jerked up and his knot brushed against Cole’s sensitive nub. He wasn’t surprised when he felt Cole’s hot cum on his stomach. It made him proud that he caused his lover to cum twice in a short time span. He removed his teeth from his lover’s neck as he licked and kissed at the bite trying to sooth the pain.
He kissed his way to Cole’s lips, kissing him deeply. His feelings for the man grew stronger each day. It was no longer lust and Kane came to the assumption it was a different feeling, one he was afraid to experience. But it was already too late. Every time he thought about Cole, his heart beat so fast and loud he could hear it. He was falling so deep and far in love with the other man, knowing he was going to do everything in his power to keep him by his side forever.
Things were progressing smoothly between them. He and Kane spent every free moment together. If anyone needed to find Kane for something, instead of calling him on the phone, they’d show up at the cafe to speak to him and grab something on the way out.
Cole chuckled, Susan and Gene, the full-time employees, along with Jerome, the part-time worker he’d hired a couple of days earlier, always had a fresh coffee and saved the last cinnamon roll for when Kane showed up. He also had his own table and chair that sat in the far corner where he could sit and look at the pond, the spot where he and Cole shared their first kiss.
He was proud of the success of the cafe since it’d opened. And Cole had done something to expand the business part of the bakery without telling Kane. While he was set
ting up a website for the customers, he added a page for them to order some of his specialty cakes. When Kane found out, he wasn’t too pleased about it.
“What’s this about?” Kane asked walking into his bedroom, shoving sheets of papers in his face.
Leaning back Cole snatched the papers from him, it was an order for customers to order specially made cakes. “What the hell does it look like?”
“Why didn’t you tell me that you were going to do this?”
“I didn’t know I had to ask your permission. You said the cafe was mine to do as I wished as long as . . .”
“I know what I said dammit.” He sighed and took his ball cap off his head, throwing it on the bed. “I appreciate that you want the cafe to be a success and, trust me, I want that too, but I don’t want you to overwork yourself. Did you forget that you’re about to have a baby?”
“I’m not likely to forget that, Kane,” he snapped at his lover then threw the sheets of paper down on the bed. Taking a deep breath—he wasn’t in the mood to argue, not when everything was going so well. “Look, don’t worry. I promise if things get too much for me I will let you know. Besides, I’m not taking a bunch of orders, just a couple.”
Kane pulled him into his arms and placed a kiss on the side of his head. “I worry about you.”
Cole pulled back and looked at his lover. “You don’t have to, I might have gotten a bit rounder but I can take care of myself.”
“I know you can, but it still won’t stop me from worrying.”
And that’s why I love you, Cole was about to say, but instead, he leaned up and kissed his lover. He loved that a kiss with Kane was never simple, it was always filled with passion and lust. Kane started moving them closer to the bed and Cole backed out of his arms. The shocked looked on Kane’s face made him chuckle. He stepped closer to Cole who put his hand on his chest stopping him in his tracks.
“As much as I would love to stay here and let you have your wicked way with me, I promised your mother and Marla I would go shopping with them.”
“You can always change your mind,” he said licking his lips, making Cole groan. He loved kissing Kane’s soft but firm lips.
