Chapter Ten
Levi “Ice”
Something is going on with Ana. She has been acting weird all week. It’s making me wonder if she’s second guessing bringing me into their relationship.
She still gives me shy smiles and kisses me like she can’t get enough.
That’s all we have done. I’ve found myself dragged into another room at the club during the week so Viking can kiss me. I find it very hot that he can’t seem to stay away.
Currently, I’m watching Ana as she prepares supper because Viking is going to be out late on a run. It’s his first late run since they have been back from her mom’s. He was nervous about it and asked me to stay with Ana.
Obviously, I don’t mind doing that. Any time to get to know her is a great opportunity.
I tried to help her with supper, but she said she wanted to do it. She even kicked her sister out of the house so we could have a date night.
When I see her hands shaking, I stand up and walk over to her.
“Ana, baby, tell me what’s wrong.” I say pulling her into my arms.
“Nothing, I just have a lot on my mind,” she says before looking away.
“Are you regretting the decision for you and Viking to be with me?” I ask, not being able to keep the tension out of my voice.
She looks up at me with wide eyes and shakes her head. “No, that’s not it at all.”
“Then tell me what it is because I’m coming to the wrong conclusions,” I plead with her.
She lets out a sigh and shuts off the stove before turning back to me. “Can we sit down?”
I swallow hard but nod my head as she leads me to the living room to sit on the couch.
She doesn’t say anything for a couple minutes. I almost plead with her to tell me when she opens her mouth and lets out two words.
“I’m pregnant.”
“When, did, how, what?” I ask in shock.
“Listen, Maverick and I were trying to get pregnant for years and it never happened. When we were at my mom’s, we had sex. I’m assuming that’s when it happened, since we haven’t been together since. I’m shocked but happy about it, but I’m also scared that this means you won’t want to be with us anymore,” she stammers out.
“You still want to be with me even though you now have the baby you both have always wanted growing inside of you?” I rasp out.
She gives me a look like that was a stupid question. “Of course, I do. We aren’t with you for convenience or because Maverick wants to know what it’s like to be with a man. We want you because you’re you. I want this with you, and I hope this doesn’t change your mind about being with us. I know it’s a lot and not what you were expecting. I would hate it if you didn’t want this, but I will also understand.”
I grab her and pull her onto my lap so she’s straddling me. “This isn’t some passing thing for me. I want you and Viking both. Sure, this is unexpected; but we will figure this out along the way. I don’t want to give you guys up.”
She smiles at my words, and the look on her face makes her look stunning.
I pull her into me for a kiss that she eagerly accepts.
When she starts grinding down on me, I grab her hips to help her along. My cock is rock hard and aching to get in on the action, but it’s too soon for anything like that.
Plus, I think that the first time we do anything more without clothes, all three of us should be together.
When she pulls away, she’s breathless. “We have to stop. I don’t want to, but if we keep going then I won’t want to stop, and Mav needs to be here.”
“I agree,” I rasp.
She smiles softly at me. I want to make sure she never stops doing that.
Let’s face it, I’m bound to mess up at some point; I’m only human, but I really do want something long term with Viking and her.
When I first saw them, I had a feeling they would be something important to me. Every day, I’m more and more crazy about Viking and Ana.
“Let’s eat,” I say and smack her lightly on the ass.
She opens her mouth in shock, but I don’t miss the heat in her eyes. Fuck me, she liked that.
I throw my hands up. “Okay, no more touching until Viking gets home.”
She swallows hard. “Good idea.”
I can barely taste what she made, fully aware of the sexual tension in the room.
The night drags on and, when it’s time for bed, she pulls me into the room and asks me to lay with her.
There’s no way I can tell this woman “no.” I strip down to my boxers when she’s getting ready in the washroom and wait for her. I don’t know if she has a side of the bed or anything since I have never spent the night in bed with her.
“Which side do you sleep on?” I ask, gesturing to the bed.
“I sleep in the middle but, when Viking and I shared a bed, he slept on the left,” she says.
“Okay,” I say, moving to the right side of the bed.
I pull her into my arms as we lay on our sides.
“Did you tell Viking yet about the baby?” I ask as I place a hand on her stomach. I know I can’t feel anything, but I’m just in awe of a life growing inside of her right now.
“No. I wanted to do it in a cute way, but I haven’t thought of anything yet. I was too stressed worrying about how you were going to handle the news,” she admits.
“We can think of something together. Soon though because he’s going to notice,” I tell her.
“It’s hard to believe that he’s going to notice when I’m still unsure if his change is permanent,” she tells me.
“I think it is. I know that I haven’t known him for long, but I can see he genuinely wants to do anything to have you back,” I tell her.
“I know, but it’s not something I can just get over in a matter of weeks,” she whispers.
“It will take time. Just be open to letting him show you who he is now,” I whisper back.
“I will,” she says softly before falling asleep.
It takes me a little longer to fall asleep, but I enjoy the feel of having her in my arms. It’s like it was always meant to be.
Maverick “Viking”
I’m exhausted by the time I get home. I hated being away from my wife. I have this fear that she will change her mind about us if I spend too much time away from her.
It doesn’t help that she has been acting strange lately; ever since she got sick from the food her sister brought home.
She will let me kiss her and hold her as we cuddle on the couch, but I’m still sleeping in another room which doesn’t make for a good night’s sleep since all I want is my wife in my arms. I did, however, promise her space, so I won’t pressure her into letting me back in our bed.
I’ve also become addicted to kissing Ice. When we are at the club, I have to stop myself from pulling him into my arms and kissing the fuck out of him all the time. I know most of my brothers know now, but it is one thing to know and another to see.
I haven’t seen either of them all day, and I was too busy to text or call them, so I head to Ana’s room first before I look in on Ice.
When I walk into the room, I suck in a breath at the sight.
Fuck me. Seeing them sleeping together with Ice holding her like she’s something precious does something to me.
I don’t think about my next move as I strip down to my boxers and climb onto the other side of Ana.
Her eyes open briefly, and she smiles softly as me. “You’re home.”
“I am. Go back to sleep, baby,” I whisper.
She moves out of Ice’s hold and places her head on my chest, but he just follows her and keeps her close. I can reach both of them like this, and I fall asleep with a smile on my face.
Maybe everything will work out after all.
The next morning when I wake up, it’s just Ice and me in bed. He’s awake staring at me, which startles me for a second.
“Fuck, why are you watching me sleep like a fucking creeper?” I grumble, rubbing my eyes with my hands.
He chuckles and the sound goes straight to my cock.
“You talk in your sleep. I was enjoying the entertainment,” he says.
“I do not,” I mumble, but I know I do. Ana has told me many times the ridiculous things I’ve said. I don’t even remember what I dream about to come up with that shit though.
“You do. You were saying something about the raccoon being in charge, and no one was allowed to eat him,” he says with a light laugh.
“Well, you better not eat my raccoon,” I mutter, looking over at him.
“Oh I’ll eat your raccoon alright,” he rasps.
I look over at him in horror at the same time that a laugh comes from the doorway.
“That was the worst. It was not even a tiny bit sexy,” Ana says while laughing.
“Yeah, I know. I heard it as soon as I said it out loud, but then it was too late to take it back,” Ice says with a laugh.
“And I want to know what part of me was a raccoon? Because I’m a little scared now,” I tease.
“Fuck I don’t know,” Ice says. He throws an arm over his face and laughs, but I don’t miss the blush on his cheeks.
I gesture to Ana to come back to bed, and she moves forward without any hesitation.
“Morning, Button,” I rasp, pulling her into my arms.
“You got in late,” she says.
“Yeah, I tried to be back as soon as I could; but shit took longer than I thought it would,” I tell her.
“It’s okay. I liked waking up with you and Ice in bed with me. Best night sleep I have had in a long time,” she admits.
“Me too,” Ice chimes in.
“Fucking rights. I didn’t sleep for long, but it was a good deep sleep and I know it’s because you both were in here,” I tell them.
“Well, I don’t know when I’ll be ready for more, but I would like it if you two wanted to sleep in here every night,” she says, avoiding eye contact with us.
“I’d be fucking glad to,” I tell her. Ice nods in agreement.
“You can’t take it back now. I’ll be here every night that I’m not working or on a run,” Ice says.
“That’s good. The bed won’t feel so empty now,” she whispers.
Fuck, maybe everything is moving in the right direction.
