Chapter 13 Rachel
Steam filled the bathroom as I stepped inside the shower and under the hot water, enjoying the feel of it on my tired muscles. We spent the whole day outdoors, and I was tired, but also happy. My life had completely transformed, and that had a lot to do with Crypt.
He was good to Rylee and me, kind, generous, and when I needed it, he gave me a good dicking down. Just thinking about him made me ache a little between my legs. It wasn’t like he wasn’t giving it to me. I got fucked as often as I wanted.
I heard the shower door open and close, and then calloused palms slid along my hips, gliding upward to cup my breasts. They felt heavy and sensitive since we came home from California, and I suspected I might be pregnant.
For now, I kept that news to myself.
Crypt began to massage the globes, tweaking and playing with my nipples as I grew aroused. He nipped at my ear when I began grinding my ass into his cock. “Get on your knees for me, beautiful.”
I loved sucking him off, and he knew it.
Crypt moved and rested his back against the wall as I dropped to my knees, facing him as I stared at the monster between his legs. He was a good eight inches or so long, but he was girthy. Thick, veiny, and all mine.
I grasped his erection, slowly gliding along the length as I looked up, catching his hungry expression. Not taking my eyes off his, I licked at the tip and felt his dick twitch in my hand.
“Tease,” he rasped as I began to pump up and down. “Take me in your mouth, babe.”
I wrapped my lips around the tip and sucked before taking as much as I could, slightly gagging when he hit the back of my throat. That darn gag reflex drove me crazy, but I was getting better at relaxing my throat muscles and swallowing him as much as possible.
Practice makes perfect, right?
Before he could come, I let go of him, tracing the skin of his abdomen with my fingertips. The scar from his bullet wound on the day he saved my life raised the skin and left it a bit discolored.
“I’d do it again for you, Rachel. No hesitation.”
“I know.”
Crypt helped me to my feet and grasped my chin. “I know it’s only been a short time, but I’m not afraid to tell you how I feel. I fucking love you, Rachel.”
He said it first. Wow.
“I’ve been in love with you almost since the day we met. It’s sort of silly, but it’s true.”
He lowered his head and brushed his lips over mine. “I know.”
Cocky bastard.
“I’ve got something for you. It’s a gift.”
I smiled. “Eight thick inches?”
“You got it, babe. Bend over and place your hands on the wall.”
I loved shower sex. It was one of my favorites, and he knew it.
Crypt slid his hand between my legs. “Damn. Already slick and eager for me to fill you.”
“Always.”
Without warning, he drove in hard and fast, filling me in one hard thrust. He didn’t move, just stayed in place, letting me feel his cock as it stretched me.
“Got one more thing for you,” he murmured as he lifted my left hand and kissed it.
I felt something cool slip over my finger. My eyes widened when I saw the diamond ring. “Are you asking me to marry you?”
Instead of answering me, he began to move, stroking his dick in and out of my pussy until I couldn’t think to form a coherent sentence. “Tell me,” he growled as he held onto my hips.
“I don’t know,” I began, as he reached for my clit, rubbing circles into the nubbin until I began to tremble.
“Look at those thighs shaking. Tell me I’m not perfect for you. That I don’t fuck this pussy good.”
Oh, his dirty talk.
“You do.”
“That’s not quite right, babe,” he teased.
“I will, Crypt.”
He pulled out, spun me around, and wrapped my legs around his waist. His cock teased my opening, but he didn’t push inside. “Say it again.”
“I’ll marry you, ahhhhh,” I cried out as he slammed home, nearly blinding me with the lights that exploded behind my eyes.
He held onto my hips, moving me up and down on his cock as I moaned and said his name.
Lost to the pleasure overtaking my brain, I had no idea what else tumbled from my lips as I came.
Crypt kept up his relentless thrusts until he filled me, grunting as he pumped his hips a few more times. His ragged breath filled my ear as he held me. We both panted as our breathing returned to normal.
He finally withdrew and brought me under the water, quickly washing both of us since it had grown cooler. I smiled as he washed between my legs and then shut off the water, wrapping me in a big towel as we stepped from the tub.
I could get used to being spoiled like this every day for the rest of my life. “I’m a little sleepy,” I admitted.
“Me too. Think Hannibal will keep Rylee a little longer?”
My father had her over the weekend. Spoiling Rylee was his favorite thing to do other than riding his Harley. “I’m sure he will.”
“Good.”
Crypt carried me to the bed and then pulled the towel off. He lowered to his knees in front of me and spread my legs wide. For a second, I thought he was ready to go again. Instead, he sniffed, then pressed his ear to my lower abdomen.
His arms wrapped around me and hugged me tight. “You’re pregnant.”
“I know.”
“For how long?”
“A few days. I need to take a test to confirm it.”
He lifted his head. “I’m so fucking lucky. You’re going to give me two babies now.”
Two, not one. Because he loved Rylee like his own child.
“Thank you for loving her too.” I almost choked on the last word as tears filled my eyes. “She needs a father.”
“And she’s got one. And a grandpa who spoils her. Rylee is going to have all the love she could ever need.”
“That means more to me than I could ever try to explain.”
“I know, Rachel. Come on, babe. You need rest.”
“I am growing another human.”
He lifted me, placing me higher on the bed before climbing in beside me and covering us with a blanket.
We both fell asleep within seconds.
“MAMA!”
Rylee ran into the kitchen where I was baking cookies and tackled me, almost knocking us both to the ground.
I laughed as I caught her. “Hi. I missed you.”
“Miss you more!”
She blinked and looked around the kitchen. “Cookies?”
“Yes. We’re having company over today. Michelle is visiting and bringing Khloe and Katie with her.”
“Yay!” Rylee bounced up and down until I thought I’d go dizzy watching her.
We only met Michelle and the girls once, but Rylee had already become best friends with her new cousins.
“Can I try one cookie?”
“Yes.” I handed her one of the cooler ones from the rack, and she sat at the table, munching on her treat as I finished baking the cookies from the remaining dough.
Soon, Rylee would be turning eight. She would be a big sister too. I hoped she would adjust to having a sibling without much trouble.
The doorbell rang, and I rushed to answer it before Rylee, since she didn’t always look to see who was there before she opened it. Crypt had already given her a stern talk about safety. Sometimes kids just forget.
I opened the door and smiled as I saw Michelle and the girls. “Come on in.”
Khloe and Katie ran past me, and I laughed as Michelle hugged me.
“How are you feeling?”
I was in my second trimester and doing well. “Progressing without any issues, unless you count heartburn and fatigue.”
“Oh, that goes with the territory.”
I led her into the kitchen, where the girls were gathered, already pulling out art supplies and dumping them on the tablecloth.
“Tea?”
“Yes, please.” Michelle leaned against the counter beside me as I put the kettle on. “Where’s my brother?”
“Club business.” I shrugged. “He’ll be home soon. He never misses a meal,” I joked.
She glanced at my ring. “I still can’t believe he popped the question. I thought he’d be a bachelor biker forever.”
“He’s pretty serious about it and the baby. The man spoils me rotten, and I love it.”
“Good. I won’t have to kick his ass.”
Once we had our tea mugs full, we moved to the living room so I could elevate my feet. My ankles were often swollen.
“What’s going on with you?” I asked after I sipped on my tea.
“The custody battle with my girls is getting ugly. I have to hire a new lawyer.”
“Oh, no! Do you need help?”
“No. Don’t tell Crypt. He’ll just try to fix everything and make it worse.”
“Brothers are more help than hindrance. Is that what you mean?”
“Yeah, especially mine. He’s overprotective to a fault.”
“I suppose he is. It’s sweet, though. I like having someone fussing over me a bit. I’m not used to that. My ex was a cheating narcissist who ignored me most of the time.”
“Sorry. That must have been awful.”
“It was, but I got through it. Just like you will.”
She reached for my hand and squeezed it. “I appreciate that, Rachel.”
The girls were giggling over something in the dining room, and I smiled. “It’s good for Rylee to be around other girls her age. Thanks for bringing Khloe and Katie over.”
“Of course. How are the nightmares? Any better?”
“Yes. The therapist says she’s doing well. A few hiccups here and there, but she’s only seven.”
“I bet it’ll make all the difference once she’s older. I wish our mom had gone or taken us when we were kids. We saw a lot of shit when we were younger, especially after our dad died.”
“Crypt has talked to me about it. Glad you’re both on the other side of it now. I know all about messed-up parents and absentee dads.” I rubbed my stomach as I felt the little one inside my belly kicking. “Oh, that’s a good one.”
“I loved being pregnant. It’s such a miraculous and amazing experience.”
We finished our tea about the time Crypt came home. He walked in the door and grinned at his sister, pulling her into a hug.
“You good?”
“Yep. Just bringing the girls over for some quality family time.”
“I love that. You staying for dinner? I was thinking of grilling steaks and baked potatoes.”
“Well, when you offer, I can’t say no.”
We ended up having a wonderful evening. After Michelle and the girls left, I gave Rylee a bath and then read to her. After tucking her in, I joined Crypt in the living room.
“Feel like watching a movie?”
“Sure, babe. You got something in mind?” Crypt patted the seat. “Come put your feet up. I’ll get whatever we need.”
It quickly became routine for us to spend our evenings together and our time with friends and family on the weekends. It was the little moments where we learned about one another—things like our favorite foods and music, or who disliked which type of chores around the house.
The best part? Crypt always helped. He wasn’t one of those guys who thought the woman had to do everything while he worked. We had the type of relationship that would last because we both put in the effort.
“I’d like a Sprite if you’re getting up. My stomach is a little queasy.”
“Any snacks?”
I shook my head.
“I bought mint chocolate chip ice cream,” he teased.
“Such a tease.”
“Last chance.” He poked his head out of the kitchen, showing off the container of ice cream. “You sure?”
“If I keep eating like that, I’m going to be as big as a house.”
He snorted. “Not possible. Besides, I love your body, beautiful. Your ass is fucking delicious when you’re pregnant.”
“Crypt.”
He winked. “Two scoops coming right up.”
I wasn’t mad when he brought it out. I enjoyed every single bite.
