Dalton: NAC & The Holly Group (Alpha Team Book 2)

by Chelsea Handcock

  Not one of the little pecks he had been giving her all along but a full-on tongue in mouth kiss it was deep wet and aggressive not to mention simply unbelievable. He pulled back looking deeply into her and eyes and said “Baby I don’t want to leave you tonight I just want to hold you until we have to get up and face tomorrow.” Emma was so taken aback she didn’t talk right away he was the one that said they needed to wait. Now he was asking to spend the night with her. Dalton stepped back taking her confusion as denial but before he could back out she spoke up “I would love that Dalton.” And then he kissed her again not as deep or as urgent but just as sweet Emma was in heaven. Just when she was starting to get her nerve up to push a little further he backed up and said “Okay I’m going to go and get changed you check on Kenna and I will be back in a few minutes.”

  Damn talk about an opportunity missed but there was still hope after all he was coming back to sleep with her in the same bed, right? Emma just kind of hoped sleep wasn’t the only thing he had but Dalton was a man of his word and she knew without Mia’s clearance he wouldn’t go beyond what they had already done. It sucked and Emma didn’t plan on making it easy on him. She felt ready her body felt ready it now if she could just get Dalton to believe it. She would also have to see about getting Kenna her own room. Having a baby in the same room and trying to get it on was definitely a bucket of ice water. Kenna always slept like a log but it was still kind of creepy. For right now Emma moved the changing screen in front of her daughter’s crib. She was still there but there wasn’t any chance of the baby seeing anything.

  Chapter 39

  After Emma checked on Kenna changing her diaper quickly so the little one didn’t wake up. She went to get ready for bed. After digging through the drawer Emma realized she had nothing that was the least bit sexy. Shit even if this had happened before she was taken she didn’t own anything sexy it was never in her budget and she never felt sexy in any way. Her single sexual experience had been less than motivating lasting all of 30 seconds. Emma never even thought about it again after the deed was done she couldn’t figure out what all the hype was about but that man, no he was no more than a boy never made her feel the way Dalton could by just walking into a room.

  Now she was standing in a room that had started to feel like home. Not to mention she was about to spend the night with the most gorgeous and generous man she had ever met. The man she loved with all her heart. Her choices of enticing attire were a flannel nightgown, sleep pants and a t-shirt, or a nursing nightgown. You go girl! Was all Emma could think. At least Ryleigh had thought to get her some cute underwear.

  Maybe she was putting too much thought into this shaking her head admonishing herself Emma grabbed a cute lavender tank and boy short that matched she figured it was the best she could do. She vowed to do some online shopping and soon. Maybe he wouldn’t care, after all Dalton had already seen her naked several times in fact, but not under the best of circumstances. He had seen her at her worst and the vision didn’t turn him off so maybe seeing her look a little sexy would help things along.

  Looking in the mirror on the dresser all Emma could see were her flaws, damn she was starting to panic maybe this wasn’t such a good idea what did she honestly have to offer a man like Dalton. He could have any women he wanted the question remained, why did he want her? Just when her panic was about to meet nuclear levels Dalton walked into the room smiling. That smile could break a thousand hearts he was just that handsome. He was wearing workout shorts and a t-shirt. His feet were bare and the ends of his hair looked a little damp like he had taken a quick shower and even though he was smiling she noticed he was also just as nervous as she was. His hands were fisted at his sides and he was a bit out of breath. Dalton worked out all the time and never once had she seen him out of breath before.

  Deciding to just go for it, Emma walked right up to him kissed him lightly licking his lip to gain access to the depths of his mouth when he went a bit rigid by her actions. After a couple of minutes, she pulled back kissing him lightly and said “I’ll be right back.” If he replied to her she had no idea because all she could hear was the beat of her heart in her ears.

  Once safely behind the closed door in the bathroom Emma washed her face and brushed her teeth. Got dressed and then stared at her reflection in the mirror. She was going to do this sleep with the man she had begun to love more than life itself. Not feeling as panicked anymore Emma was actually more than a little excited. She wanted this. Taking a deep breath and straightening her shoulders Emma walked out into the bedroom to the best sight in the world Dalton McKenna Hayes was in her be waiting for her.

  Emma walked over and got into the bed she went to lean closer initiating a kiss when it turned hot and heavy all she wanted to do was rip his clothes off and ride him.

  Fuck all Dalton wanted to do was take it slow showing her all the pleasure he could give her. He would spend hours lavishing her body with his mouth and hand, making her cum multiple times. Giving her the ultimate pleasure. He was desperate to feel himself inside of her, craved that sticky wet kiss on the head of his cock but he needed to put a stop to this even if it killed him. Gritting his teeth together and slightly pushing her away he said “Baby we can’t.”

  Moaning her displeasure Emma was going to agree with him when Kenna let out the loudest scream she had ever heard. Not only was her baby screaming she was making a high-pitched squeal that Emma had never heard before. Kenna was never fussy. Both Emma and Dalton jumped out of the bed going to their little girl. When Emma went to reach for her she noticed how warm her daughter was and started to panic. Dalton I think she has a fever what do I do?

  Chapter 40

  Dalton was at a loss. Emma was in a panic thinking that Kenna was sick. Before he could think any better of it he ran out of the room and down the hall straight to Jacks and Ryleigh’s door, beating on the infernal thing until Jack answered looking disheveled and shirtless. “Man, this better be fucking important I just got Ryleigh to go to sleep.” Jacks said angrily. “Kenna is sick.” Dalton blurted out and the big man went into action practically dragging Ryleigh out of the bed before he realized she was naked. Dalton turned his back quickly at Jacks growl. Needing Ryleigh’s help, but not needing to get mauled. He heard Ryleigh talking in that sleepy state that you have when you first wake up not making much sense. After what seemed to be a really long time in reality was only minutes. Ryleigh touched his arm “Shit Rye. I don’t know Kenna woke up screaming and she is making that squealing noise that distressed baby bears make in the wild. I don’t fucking know what to do Rye. She is really warm and her cheeks are red. Emma is with her but we don’t know what to do or what is causing it.” Dalton had never felt so useless in his entire life.

  “Okay let me go get the medical bag and Jacks and I will meet you back in the room.”

  Dalton barely answered rushing back to his mate and child.

  Dalton could hear Kenna’s screams and it was tearing his heart apart. When he walked into the room Emma didn’t look any better than he felt. She was bouncing Kenna in her arms trying to calm the child but Kenna was inconsolable. Ryleigh came in the room and calmly took Kenna’s temperature. Jacks and Dalton paced back in forth in the room. Thinking the worst. After she had checked the babies ears she then checked her mouth. What the hell, why did she need to check her mouth. Dalton needed to get a book or something on babies. Kenna had been so good since she was born he didn’t think he needed it. He thought he could handle anything that came up, he was obviously wrong. His Amazon account was going to get a work out as soon as possible.

  Ryleigh pulled out a white tube and handed it to Emma. “Rub this on her gums four times a day. Then she handed her some pinkish liquid in a bottle and said give her this every four hours with this plunger 5 millimeters.”

  Dalton wanted to hurt something his little girl needed medicine and he hadn’t even known it. Fuck he and Emma needed to figure all this crap out. But first he needed to see what Ryleigh was giving he
r. “Give me that stuff.” Dalton grumbled trying to snatch it from Emma’s hands.

  “Wait.” Emma said pulling the medicine back. “Ryleigh what’s wrong with her?”

  “Nothing she is just teething the gel is to make her gums numb and the baby acetaminophen will help her fever, she is going to be just fine she is just cutting a tooth. Nothing out of the ordinary but you guys are going to have a rough night.” Ryleigh said walking out of the door grabbing Jacks along the way. The big guy acted like he didn’t want to go but went reluctantly.

  Emma cried right along with Kenna, Dalton just held them both. Damn how many teeth did babies have?

  Once they got Kenna medicated and laid down Dalton and Emma crawled back into bed.

  “Dalton, damn we absolutely need to get some books or something that was the scariest thing. I didn’t know what to do for her and I hate that feeling. Thank God for Ryleigh.” “Yeah honey I couldn’t agree more.” They talked a bit more but Emma was getting tired and they needed to get as much sleep as they could. Dalton set his phone alarm for four hours so they could check on Kenna and they cuddled down.

  “I love you Dalton please don’t be a dream.” And Dalton was once again floored he whispered back “I feel the same way baby you are my dream.” Cuddling back into his arms his warmth lulled her into sleep today had been a good day an eye-opening day. They could get though anything together and from the sounds of it tomorrow and the future would be even better even with all the things they had to face. Going to sleep with thought of a happy future and a healthy non-teething child Emma drifted knowing this was exactly where she always wanted to be.

  The next morning Emma woke up feeling happier than she could ever remember being. Kenna’s fever had broken and she had been sleeping for the last 4 hours peacefully. Dalton had been a rock holding them both while they cried making sure Kenna got her medicine and trying to let Emma sleep even though that wasn’t possible. He had finally passed out after the last time Kenna woke up screaming.

  The man of her dreams was holding on to her and snoring like a freight train right in her ear. She decided to give him a wake-up call he would never forget. She had dreamed of feeling his silky length in her mouth. Pulling away from the comfort of his embrace she made sure she took the blanket with her exposing his hard but still covered cock. Crawling down the bed and crouching over Dalton, Emma was just about to pull the waist of his sweats away from him when Kenna decided to make her presences known. Looking toward the crib hidden behind the changing screen Emma held her breath hoping Kenna would fall back asleep. Staying really quiet Emma waited, just when she thought she was in the clear to move Kenna let out a little squeak. Dalton bolted out of the bed almost knocking Emma onto the floor. If she hadn’t been awake she would have definitely been on the ground.

  Watching the crazy man run to the crib and then cooed to her daughter no, their daughter was a sight to behold but then he turned to the side and Emma got the first good look at his morning wood tenting his shorts. Damn the man was huge he wasn’t kidding when he said he was large. She had felt it under his jeans but never imagine what the loose gym shorts would reveal. The phrase hung like a horse repeated in her mind. The other fantasy that kept repeating in her mind was taking that long hard cock and putting it in her mouth. Just a few minutes more and she would have been there.

  Never having given a blow- job didn’t matter, she had read enough about them; she was pretty sure she could figure it out. She could practically feel Dalton grabbing the back of her head and pulling her forward for a taste. Emma licked her lips.

  Of course, that is the moment he said “Baby, if you keep on staring at it like you want a taste, it will never go down.”

  And that is when her two-month-old daughter giggled then started making that engine noise. Emma was snapped right out of her blowjob fantasy. Damn. Dalton had the audacity to laugh.

  Being more than a little miffed that he would laugh at her frustration once again, Emma got up, mumbled something about coffee, and started stomping towards the door.

  “Baby, not that I mind, but don’t you think you should maybe put some clothes on before you go out to the kitchen? I mean those boy-shorts are a killer and show just the right amount of ass, and with your nipples poking through that tank, it’s a sight one I would rather keep all to myself. Unless you have a little exhibitionist in you,” Dalton questioned.

  The asshole had the nerve laughed again. Changing directions, Emma went to the bathroom to change. She heard Dalton talking to Kenna about getting a bottle, and shortly after that she also heard the door open and close. Emma briefly considered having a little ‘me time’ in the shower but decided against it, which did not help her mood any. Damn, she needed to talk to Mia today.

  Walking into the kitchen, Emma had only one thing on her mind: coffee. She didn’t see anyone or anything, just the coffee pot with its wonderful dark elixir. After Emma, had downed half a cup and was still standing in front of the pot, she finally realized that she wasn’t alone. Turning around, she noticed Cash trying very badly to hold back laughing. Bas was standing next to the table with a look of horror on his face and Dalton was staring at her like he had just seen Emma for the first time in his life. Shoot, hadn’t they just spent the night together in each other’s arms?

  Confused and not wanting to play with them this morning, Emma went and sat down at the table next to Dalton. Just then Emma watched in horror as Ryleigh came into the kitchen. The look on her face could only be described as demonic. She didn’t acknowledge anyone and went straight for the coffee pot, mumbling some stuff that Emma wasn’t really sure were actual words; more like grunts and grumbles. She even thought there was a good possibility was speaking in tongues. Emma didn’t know for sure. Ryleigh planted herself right in front of the coffee pot, angling her body so no one could keep her from the pot.

  After pouring herself a cup and downing half of it, Ryleigh turned around and said “What?”

  Cash couldn’t hold his laugh anymore and burst, “Told you assholes, pay up. We didn’t need a DNA test to prove those two are related.”

  Still in a state of shock Emma whisper yelled, “Oh my god, did I just do that too?”

  Dalton said, “Yeah baby, so when were you going to tell me you spoke in tongues?”

  Emma’s face heated immediately. Damn red hair.

  Jacks came in the room, said, “Good morning,” and then went right for his mate trying, to take her coffee cup. “Baby, we talked about this. Coffee isn’t good for the baby. You need to drink decaf if you are going to drink it at all. The book said water and juice were better options.”

  Ryleigh growled. She actually growled and pulled her cup closer to her chest, guarding it from her mate. All she said was “No,” but the look in her eyes was even starting to scare Emma.

  Mia came in and defused the possible murderous situation.

  “Jacks, it’s okay. I told her she could have one cup of the good stuff a day. That is way down from her four pots. Your progeny will be fine.”

  Jacks walked backward away from his mate with his hands in the air, “Okay baby, I won’t take your coffee.”

  Ryleigh just kind of grunted and continued to drink her coffee. After that, the group ate breakfast in shocked silence. When everyone started to talk normally, Emma started to ask Mia if she could have a moment of her time. Mia stopped her before she even had the chance to ask.

  Assuming she wanted something else, Mia assured her, “Don’t worry, I won’t let the demon near your baby until she has been caffeinated. “

  Cash announced, “Ladies, I have exhibit one,” turning on the TV in the kitchen. Displayed on it was the instant replay of Emma walking into the kitchen towards the coffee pot. She was horrified. Then it was time for Ryleigh to enter and the similarities were undeniable; they were definitely sisters with severe caffeine addictions. Everyone, with the exception of Ryleigh and Emma, started laughing.

  Jacks said, “Sorry man,” to Dalton.
r />   Mia said, “Well crap,” and she handed Cash a hundred-dollar bill.

  Thankfully Jacks changed the subject by asking how the night went with Kenna. When Dalton and Emma assured him, she was doing well and the fever broke, he started to going over the mission. After several more go-throughs, everyone began to leave the kitchen. Still wanting to talk to Mia, Emma followed her out. Cash had Kenna now and was asking where his sling was. Emma knew it was safe to make her exit, but before she could go, she looked back at the antics of the Alpha Team.

  Bas was giving Cash a hard time.

  “Dude, just hold her. You don’t need the sling every time you have her.”

  “That shows how much you know, asshole,” Cash snapped back. “I have to pack, but if you think I am going to give up my baby time so you can hold her, you’re fucking nuts.” Then he started speaking baby talk to Kenna. “You don’t like mean, old Uncle Bas, do you baby girl? Uncle Cash is your favorite, isn’t that right. Yep, you keep smiling. We know it’s the truth. He is going to miss his baby girl time cuz he just sings you to sleep at night. And now he is jealous. Mean, old Uncle Bas should have thought about that before, huh.”

  Bas started talking baby talk to Kenna too. “Yeah, baby girl, mean, old Uncle Cash isn’t going to know what to do, cuz he can’t find his baby sling. He doesn’t do laundry and expects everyone else to do it. Now he just has to hold you like a normal person holds a baby. Since he has to pack, that means I get to put you down for a nap. He doesn’t, cuz your favorite Uncle Bas packed last night like a good soldier.”
