Chapter 13
GUNNER
“We have to get going soon,” I murmur, pressing kisses along Zinnia’s bare shoulder. Last night, I brought her to the cabin, because there’s no better place than here for us to start over. This place holds a lot of special meaning for the two of us, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
“Hmm, I don’t wanna,” she moans weakly.
Throughout the night, I had taken her repeatedly in front of the fire blazing in the hearth.
“Neither do I, Dimples.” I chuckle and press on Zinnia’s hip to get her to turn so we’re face to face.
“But we’ve got to get back before it’s time to go get Delilah.
Plus, I want more time to be inside you once more.
. . though this time being in our bed in a home I bought a long time ago with intentions of having my family here. ”
Zinnia’s eyes widen at the last of what I said to her, and I smile as her lips part in surprise. “What do you mean you bought your home with the intentions of having a family? You mean for Delilah?”
“No,” I mutter and grin. “I bought the house almost ten years ago now.”
“What?” She breathes, pressing her hands into my chest.
“You heard me, baby.” I run my fingers along her side and feel the way she trembles under my touch. “Bought that house a long time ago and fixed it up. It’s our house, Zinnia. Yours and mine.”
Leaning into her, I claim her mouth with mine. Zinnia opens for me, and I take the opportunity to slip my tongue into her mouth. Moving over her, I situate myself between her legs as she falls backward on the blanket.
My cock slips through her wet entrance, and I push forward. Throughout each time I had fucked my woman, she never once stopped shocking me. Shit, even that night a week ago when I ate her with my mouth, and she repeatedly came, her pussy creamed for me the entire time.
Thrusting in, the walls of Zinnia’s pussy clench around me, swallowing me with each inch.
“Gunner,” she moans into my mouth and digs her nails into my back.
Groaning, I pick up momentum, taking her like I had all night. Lifting my head, I hold her gaze and let our bodies do the talking for us as I show her what she means to me.
Zinnia’s pussy clenches around me, and she comes crying out my name, shattering the little control I’m keeping hold of.
I thrust deeper, pounding inside her and taking her fast, my own release surging forward.
When it hits, I growl my woman’s name, knowing I’m seating myself inside her without any barriers as I’d done all night.
Never have I had barriers between the two of us.
I swore a long time ago there never would be.
Having her now this way, I love her all the more and know for a fact I’ll kill to keep her where she is.
“Zinnia,” Delilah squeals rushing out to us soon as Axe opens the door.
I smirk and shake my head, seeing that I’ve been traded in.
“Hey, Lilah,” Zinnia greets with a smile.
“Look, Nia,” Delilah says, holding the necklace up for Zinnia to see. “I wore it the entire time.”
My chest clenches tighter than it did the night when I gave that damn necklace to Zinnia, and now, she’s letting my daughter wear it.
The first time I’d seen it in the hospital, I was surprised she still had it.
Shit, when I went into the house she grew up in and found it a disaster, I had taken out the stuff that belonged to her but never found the damn thing. I figured Davy pawned it or whatnot.
“That’s great.” Zinnia smiles.
“Hey, Pipsqueak.” I make myself known, acting annoyed with my kid that she’s ignoring me. “What am I chop liver over here?”
“Daddy,” she laughs and launches herself at me. “Don’t be mad. I missed you too, but no offense, you’re not as fun as Nia.”
Laughter booms from Axe and CJ giggles alongside Zinnia.
“Not fun, huh?” I quirk a brow and lift her up in my arms to tickle my daughter’s belly making her squeal in delight. “I guess we won’t be doing any more fun stuff since I’m no fun.”
Delilah squeals even louder and I laugh alongside her. I give my little girl some love and set her on her feet. She immediately curls into my front as I pull Zinnia into my side. I glance at Axe and jerk my chin upward. “Thanks for taking her for the night.”
Axe nods and steps out. “Don’t worry about it.
She’s always good.” I talk with Axe for a few more minutes while Delilah drags Zinnia inside to help get her stuff together.
Axe moves closer to me and meets my gaze.
“Got a call from Hammer. Keep your phone on you. Avery’s siblings made contact with her, and they’re attempting to put their plan in place. ”
“They’re going to try to get inside the clubhouse and set us up,” I acknowledge.
“Yeah,” he grunts, crossing his arms over his chest and shaking his head. “Just stay alert. We don’t know what will happen in the coming days with this, and Cy’s looking into every possibility.”
I nod, understanding what he’s saying. If Avery’s siblings are showing themselves, it could mean Basa De La Rosa could be doing the same. That’s definitely something I don’t need or want to happen right now, not after Zinnia’s finally agreed to stop fighting me and not run from what we have.
“Daddy, can we watch Chitty Chitty Bang Bang when we get home?” Delilah asks, coming out onto the porch with Zinnia behind her.
“Sure, Princess, we can watch it.” I grin. “How about a movie day, and pizza for dinner?” The kid loves pizza and will end up consuming a small one all to herself.
“Yay, pizza.” She claps her hands and jumps up and down.
I chuckle, knowing I’m in for a day with my girls at home, eating pizza and watching movies.
