Chapter Fourteen Liza
Two months later
These last two months have been nuts to say the least.
Dragon and I have been getting along. We’ve figured out how to coparent effectively.
He’s been great with all the boys, not just Jaxon.
Walker and Waylon have come around and started to do fun things together.
He got both of the boys little customized dirt bikes.
He’s been working on helping them ride them.
He has been amazing with them and really has not let them feel like he is only there for Jaxon.
I have found it amazing and really it makes it harder than I thought it would to dislike him for all the shit he has pulled.
He has made it all abundantly clear that all the boys are his.
That he is going to be a dad to Waylon and Walker just as much as he is to Jaxon.
Walker was a little tougher to come around though because he did feel it when Dragon was gone all those months, and yes I am still calling him Dragon because I do not feel comfortable going by his legal name when I don’t think we are going to work out.
It has been hard though sticking to my guns because he walks around here half naked and I feel like I am going to explode.
I haven’t had sex since around the time we conceived Jaxon and honestly, I’m fucking horny as hell.
I was cleared by my doctor last week, but I am not sure I want to go there with him yet or even at all.
Sex with him was fucking amazing, not like I have much experience.
I connected with him on a level not just physically, I loved being around him even when we were out of bed.
Hell, I still do sometimes. Usually it’s when he catches me off guard and I forget just how much of a fucking asshole he is.
After that first night in this house he has been trying to get me to sleep in the same bed with him, sometimes I will find myself waking up in his arms. I hate that. I hate that he just thinks he has some sort of stupid alpha claim on me when he didn’t want me a year ago.
This morning I rolled over in bed and felt a warm spot next to me and knew he had snuck in here.
After I fell asleep, I had moved myself out of the master bedroom and into a guest room.
We argued about it for two days. He still takes most of the nights with Jaxon which I find truly amazing.
I growled at the warm spot next to me and crawled out of bed.
Moving towards the bathroom I hear noises coming from downstairs.
It sounds like the boys are all awake. The aching in my chest tells me that I need to feed Jaxon.
So I hurry through my morning routine in the bathroom before heading downstairs to the kitchen where I hear the noise coming from.
Only to stop dead in my tracks at the sight in front of me.
The boys are sitting at the counter with plates full of chocolate chip pancakes, while Dragon is standing over the griddle bare chested with Jaxon strapped to him.
I swear I have to wipe the drool off my mouth, I swear it is unfair how fucking good he looks.
I can’t even control myself as I check him out.
Dragon has what most would say a boxer's build, he has a massive chest and thick arms that are solid and I loved when he would pick me up and throw me around.
Especially when he would push me up against the wall and fuck me.
With that mental image I swear I find myself rubbing my thighs together.
That isn’t even all that is his fucking sexy self.
He has this dark brown hair that he always has cropped on the sides, slightly longer and slicked back on the top.
He has nipple piercings, nothing crazy, just a single silver ring on each.
Looking at those piercings has me thinking of the other fucking piercings he has and all the magic he can fucking do with those.
He has a tongue piercing. It is a matte black flat ball and the way he uses his tongue and the way that adds to the experience sends a shiver up my spine.
Along with thinking about his Prince Albert piercing.
I’ve heard it apparently is a thing with the guys in his family to get pierced down there.
I mean, I wouldn’t fucking know and I think that is a weird thing, but I mean I enjoyed the way he used that.
The man is covered in tattoos, all of them hold a special meaning to him. I loved licking every single inch of him and asking about the significance of each of them.
“What about this sleeve? What is the significance in all this?” I say as I run my finger up his right arm. His arms are covered. He has two full sleeves and other artwork scattered. I have been learning about them gradually.
“This sleeve is about loyalty and protection. I have Cerberus who is a symbol of vigilance, protection and savagery when needed. To symbolize that I keep watch and protect, that I will do whatever I need to and can be a savage when needed.”
“Liza, baby?”
I snap out of it and look up at Dragon when has a fucking smirk on his face that I want to slap right off of him.
“What?”
He chuckles before he walks over to the doorway where I am standing and leans forward placing a kiss on my lips.
It is something that he has been doing more and more of these past couple of weeks.
Like he is trying to get me used to his touch or who knows maybe he is trying to fucking kill me with sexual tension.
“I asked if you were hungry and wanted to eat before you fed Jaxon?”
He then reaches up and runs his thumb over the corner of my mouth and bends to my ear, “You got a little drool right here, baby. What’s got you all hot and bothered this morning? Do you maybe need some help relieving some of that tension this morning?”
Before I can answer he straightens up and smirks down at me.
“You want some pancakes? I made some with some extra protein in them for you. I’ve got a big fresh bowl of fruit for you as well. I was thinking that maybe after everyone’s done eating we can go for a walk around the compound,
maybe visit with Sophie then go to the clubhouse and see some of the brothers. They are all wanting to see the boys and you as well.”
I feel like I am not comprehending what he is saying.
“Don’t you have to work today?”
“Nah, baby, I’m the boss. I gave myself the day off. I didn’t have a lot of projects to work on. I have the small shit over to Whip and a couple of the other guys. Didn’t have any special requests for me. So I thought I’d spend the day with my family.”
I nod my head, “Yeah, I guess. If you’re not too busy. I mean I’m sure the boys would love that. Plus this is my last week before I head back to work.”
Thankfully before I had Jaxon I had found a job as a nurse at the same hospital that Peyton is currently working at while she finishes up medical school.
She kind of got me in the door and yeah it is thirty minutes away, but they have great benefits and honestly I love the fact that I will be working with Peyton.
I don’t know where she will end up after med school, but I hope she will still be around here.
“Are the boys starting school this year?”
“No, they are probably going to just do daycare.”
He nods his head and heads back to make me a plate of pancakes and fruit.
“Do you think that maybe they can go to the daycare here? That way we know they are okay and I can stop in and see them if I get down with work before you or even on my breaks if I stop in.”

I hadn’t given much thought to taking them out of the daycare they are in, but I know that Rachel has had a daycare here for awhile.
“I think that is something we can discuss, I haven’t had any issues with their current daycare. Who all do they watch here?”
“Well, the kids' cousins for starters.”
“Okay, well I guess we can do that. I mean it’ll be nice for them to be close, especially right now. I’ll have to figure out school next year.”
He gives me a look and says, “ We. Those boys are mine too. I do want to talk to you more about that, but I feel like you’re not ready for that yet.”
We continued on with our morning after that and I chose to ignore the joy that I felt knowing that he wanted to be involved in the decisions of all three boys. Then after we were all dressed and ready to go we walked to Sophie and Lash’s house.
Sophie and Lash live towards the back of the compound and normally we would use golf carts to get there, but today we decided to walk.
The boys are having the time of their lives on the walk to Sophie’s.
When we finally make it to the door, Dragon doesn’t even wait to knock he just walks in.
You can hear Sophie talking down the hall towards where I would assume her living room is.
I have never been here and really haven’t talked to Sophie much because I have a relationship with Peyton and Parker since I went to school with them.
“Soph! Where the fuck are you?”
I snap my head towards Dragon, “What the heck are you doing?!?! You don’t talk like that. She has children, you have children, what are you doing?”
I slap his arm and grab Jaxon out of his stroller and walk towards where I hear Sophie.
Only to be met by her. She has one of the boys in her arms and she smiles.
“Hey guys. What are you guys up to?”
“We wanted to visit. Where are the kids?”
“Well I’ve got Lucas and Leon, but the other kids are with their grandparents. They’ve got their homeschooling stuff today, then the boys have hockey and Rocky is taking them.”
I notice as Dragon nods his head.
“Cool, is Lash working at the shop or is he at the clubhouse?”
“Are you here to visit with me or the kids and my husband?”
“Well, I mean, I want to see your kids, Waylon and Walker do too, but I did want to see you too. My big sister, how are you doing? Give me that boy. Where is Leon?”
She hands over who I am assuming Lucas to Dragon and begins walking into the next room and we all follow. She walks over to the little play pin in the middle of the room and grabs Leon. She then sits down on the chair.
“Do you want to take Walker and Waylon to the kids playroom? That way they can have some fun while we visit.”
Dragon takes Lucas with him as he walks the boys to the playroom.
“How are you feeling, Liza? I know how it is after having a baby, plus you had to move your life around because of that alpha male brother.”
“Yeah, I’m alright. It’s been an adjustment and I guess I’m glad we are doing it this way for now for Jaxon. I just don't know what he expects to come out of all this because I don’t tend to go back once I’ve been hurt the first time.”
“Listen, I get it. But I also know Cane and I’m calling him Cane to you because I know that he is family and whether you want to admit that right now or not is your decision. But I think that he did what he did because he was scared. I don’t know all of the story, but I know he hurt you.
Listen we all did a lot of fucked up shit after mama died and was killed. Hell, I’m still living with some of my choices and a lot of people don’t agree with me and how I handled everything. I just know that he did whatever it was because he thought he was protecting you.
I think he always planned on trying to fix things, but the pregnancy and the baby sped things up for him. I mean I saw him in those eight months you guys were apart and he wasn’t the same. Cane is a jokester and he is rarely ever serious,
but when it comes to the people he loves he is protective in a way where he doesn’t think before he acts. You got caught in the crossfire, but I know he loves you. I know right now with everything going on postpartum this is a lot to hear and honestly you do whatever it is you have to do to heal,
just know that we are all here for you. You are family to us and have been since Peyton and Parker met you. I don’t want you to feel like you can’t come here and hang out or even confide in me because we haven’t spent much time together. Plus I have a whole bunch of kids.
It feels like that’s all I do half the time is have babies, but I’m here if you need me.”
Dragon walks in towards the end of the conversation, Lucas still attached to his hip.
“I think they will be content for a while. You guys have a whole bunch of shit.”
I shake my head as I listen to the two of them banter back and forth and honestly seeing him with his siblings makes me miss mine all the time. I hate that we aren’t this close, but I hope that someday soon I will feel safe enough to visit Nevada again.
