“Dani, I know it sounds crazy, but my whole life I’ve respected him for what he did. But yeah, it makes me wonder if I’m fucked up in the head. Or shit, in the heart.”
“No. I don’t think you are. I think your dad, like you said, cared about your mom but then fell out of love with her and rather than stay in a marriage without passion, chose to make a change. Stefan, if you were ever in a relationship and you stopped being crazy in love with that person, I hope you would do something about it. It would break my heart for you to be stuck in a situation like that. I wouldn’t want that for you. Even if the other person in the relationship was me. Your dad wasn’t a bad guy. And neither are you for loving him.”
Just like that, his heart settled in his chest.
He was done playing the game.
He wiggled down into the comfort of the thick rug, then pulled her up on top of him. God, her breasts fell so naturally on either side of her chest, all real and all for him. He never wanted to touch another pair again. Hers were perfect and he wanted them in his mouth. Stefan slid her down his stomach and then lifted her up by the hips to settle her down on top of him when he remembered something very significant. “Sweetheart, I fucking almost forgot the condom.”
She smiled so wide and bright that he nearly shot his seed into the crack of her ass where his erection currently sat a happy yet horny and desperate camper.
“What?” he asked, amazed by the brilliant smile gleaming from her right now. He held her face with his eyes as he helped her climb back down his body and then slowly perched herself over his rock hard yet still uncovered cock. “Hey, let me up. I meant it when I said I’d get a condom for you.”
“Stefan.” She said his name and he came that much closer to losing it. “I don’t have much, but this one thing I can give you. You know you don’t need a condom with me.”
Fuck, he swallowed at the way she looked so vulnerable, offering him this gift. “Sweetheart, are you sure?”
“You can’t get me pregnant and I trust when you said you’ve always covered up. I’m not worried about what you’ve done in the past.” Her brown eyes always reminded him of a doe. Sometimes pissed and sometimes hysterical with laughter but always true. And fuck, she was right.
“Then ride me, sweetheart.”
His hands released their tight hold keeping her up and she wiggled until her opening was lined up with his cock. He ground his molars when she slid down him, slowly allowing her body to stretch and fit him. “Fuck, I’m all the way in. You’re so tight.” He of all people appreciated why that was. She was a good girl and didn’t share herself with just anyone.
“I’m not usually on top. Do you like this?”
She rode him in the cutest frog position. “I do. Very much,” he said and couldn’t help but smile. He’d bet her thighs were screaming but she took it like a woman. His woman. Their pleasure rose and broke together and when he came, she came. He squeezed her thighs, knowing she needed help soothing the burn.
She whispered and crawled like a slinky cat until his cock slid out of her and she straddled him, her knees hugging the sides of his ribs. A few moist drops, probably his cum but he hoped some of hers too, dripped from her pussy onto his stomach, making him ache to lick her belly clean. Her face was inches from his. Her elbows dug into his chest so she could keep herself propped up and he loved that she wasn’t embarrassed to let her weight rest on him like this. “You don’t ever have to wear another condom again. Not when we make love, and most definitely not when we fuck.”
Her bottom lip tormented him tucked between her teeth. His heart thumped with pride and possession that this woman was his. They’d make it all work because he’d finally found the one he could be so very bad and so very good to.
“Sweetheart, you win.”
Epilogue
Six months later, Pittsburgh, PA…
Dani’s due date had long since come and gone. “Ugh, I don’t feel sexy right now. How in the world can you stand to be around me? I feel like a gigantic baked potato with arms and legs. And the gas!”
“Hey, no fair complaining now. I told you there would be tons of sexual harassment involved when I re-hired you, Nurse Dani. And Benny passed this article he found online to me that my jizz has stuff in it that will help you start labor. My prostaglandins can help stimulate contractions,” he said properly and rehearsed. “So come here. Now.”
Ever telling her what to do. She smiled. “Those are some big words, Mr. Calderon. Big, intelligent words. You’re so hot. What are you waiting for? Get over here and help a girl out.”
“I thought you just said you didn’t feel sexy.”
“I don’t. That’s what’s so unfair. I’m bloated but hornier than you, even.”
“If I give you the best sex of your life right now, and it doesn’t send you into labor, will you sit on the side of the stage while I play?”
How could she say no to that? Why mess with perfection? Gina was well enough that she and Dani had been able to travel to this week’s Sin Pointe show in the big city. Pittsburgh was only twenty miles from Moonlight. Little Cord Calderon might just be born right here at the show which was fine with her. She just wanted the munchkin out of her belly. He had to be a giant by now.
Stefan killed her with a wicked grin.
Jaxon walked by just then. She should say strutted, in his black pants held together it seemed by zippers. He ran a hand through his dark blonde pompadour. He was one of Dani’s favorites because every night when she and Stefan talked on the phone, Stefan would tell her the daddy trick Jaxon had taught him that day. “Hey sexy, you’re needed for sound checky in ten minnies. If you see Will, tell him to get his ass on stage too. Oh fuck, hey, doll,” he said to her and kissed her on the cheek. “Don’t make my boy too late. And my Lily sends her love. Says she can’t wait ‘til you get to Bugscuffle.”
Bugscuffle, Tennessee. The tiny town outside of Nashville where the bad boys of Sin Pointe and their former assistant now called home. And where soon, she would call home too.
“Aww, tell her thank you and that I can’t wait to meet her. And your daughter. Maryella?”
“Yep, my Maryellie. Lily tells me she’s been making little Cordy lots of baby clothes.”
“Oh my goodness. That’s so sweet.”
“Yeah, she’s a goody. Fuck, I almost forgot. Lily, Trissy, Hazel, they’re throwing you a baby shower when you get moved in. You can’t say no so don’t even try. Right, mate?” He lifted his chin at Stefan who just smiled back.
Dani could listen to Jaxon speak in that rhymy Aussie voice of his for hours on end but the only man she ever wanted to hear sing was her Stefan. Just the thought of being here live at his show gave her a hot case of fan girl crush.
“I guess our prosta, what did you call it, Hon?”
“Prostaglandin.”
“Right. Our prostaglandin semen exchange session is going to have to wait. Your boys need you. Go ahead and go. I’ll go sit with Mom backstage and if I run into Will, I’ll tell him he’s been summoned.”
Stefan looked mischievous. “I think I know where Will is. And if you’d have bet me money all those months ago when you said he was into your sister, you’d be a little richer right now.”
“Really?” She didn’t mean to squeal but next to her getting the boy, she would be over the moon if Will got the girl. Especially if it was her sister. “Hurry, tell me more. Then you have to go.”
Stefan zipped his fingers across his lips.
“Don’t even pull that bro-code crap on me. You’re not supposed to be mean to your fiancée.”
“All I’ll say is that I may have seen his phone in the dressing room bathroom and it may have flashed an incoming call with your sister’s name.”
“Which means he would have manually had to enter it in!”
“Or your crazy sister could have snatched his phone from him and manually entered it herself. But yes, both ways, it’s in there and calls have been made.” He zipped a finger over his lips again. “
That’s all you’re getting. Now I’ll go snatch his ass out of the toilet and I’ll see you soon.”
His hand was still tentative whenever he rubbed her belly but he was getting better at allowing himself to accept that any day now, he’d be Cord’s step-daddy. She felt his grin widen as he kissed her long and hard. “Okay, I’ve gotta go make some noise.”
“Go get ‘em, baby. I’ll be right here waiting.”
He saluted her from his heart and ran down the hall to the dressing room. All in tight white, he streaked away like only her Superman could. Her hero. Her good, her bad. Her everything.
Cord had run out of room to kick her much at this point so he butted up against her ribs and she found that stubborn little foot of his and gently pushed it back in under her rib. She took a super deep breath, held it and let it whistle out.
He was one lucky little man.
His father loved him enough to let the man who loved her raise him as his son. Thom was good, as she’d always known, and proved it during the short visit they’d had during his mid-tour leave. The best man though? Her Stefan. She’d shared Thom’s acceptance of the situation over the phone that night and Stefan surprised her saying he’d like to meet Cord’s father one day. To thank him.
Cord had so many loving homes just waiting to welcome him into the world, it nearly made Dani cry. Grandma Gina would be making their big move to Bugscuffle. Their new place wasn’t too far from Auntie Trista and Uncle Lucky’s house.
She clicked open her phone’s photo album and scrolled through the pics Stefan had sent her of the nursery in their new house, just waiting for the little guy to be born so they could finally make the big move and be together. Stefan hadn’t wanted her to risk any stress with a move during her pregnancy with him on the road and unable to be with her.
Whether they were here in Pittsburgh in the fancy hotel just minutes away from the hospital with Mommy and Daddy … and Uncle Will … and possibly Aunty Daisy—who knew?—Will could be hiding her baby sister in his dressing room as they spoke—no matter where they were, this little guy was being born into one amazing family. Dani couldn’t wait to meet the entire gang in person.
Drums started up.
The bass joined in.
Keys, electric guitar and her man’s deep honey voice brought the jam to life.
Her head started bobbing the second Stefan’s bass fell into that perfect groove with Will’s drums. He’d taught her that.
All she could think as she closed her eyes and felt the music crawl up from the floor into her toes and up her legs, was…
Mine.
Dani smiled. And yeah, she cried. Because she was nine months pregnant, her hormones were a real you know what, and whether she was a toad, a princess or a pumpkin, she was living her fairy tale life. Stefan Calderon was her wickedly cool happy ending.
****
Stefan stood there on stage, taking it all in. He was one lucky bastard. As he geared up to belt out “Touch”, the thought that he kept locked in his brain every second of every day he had with Dani made his heart pound with fierce, wicked love…
If you cannot be good for yourself, be good for her. Always be good for her.
—Stefan Calderon
