Chapter 12 #2
“I’m thrilled about the baby. I was shocked at first, but as soon as I saw her on the sonogram, I was hooked, man.
Karlie and our baby are the best things that have ever happened to me.
There’s no way that I’m letting that asshole anywhere near them,” Drew promised, thinking about Jake’s threats to Karlie.
“Then, we need a damn good plan,” Ryan said. He looked as tense about the whole situation as Drew felt.
“Ryan, I know that I asked for your help with Jenna and Jake, but why are you in this? You seem to have more invested here than just helping me out,” Drew said.
Ryan stared down his brother as if thinking about what to say.
“I—I don’t have a clue why I’m here. I saw how upset Mr. Angel was about Jake when I showed up at the hospital to check on Jenna.
I made him a promise to get Jenna somewhere safe.
But between the hospital and here, I just can’t explain it, I don’t want to leave them. ”
“Them,” Drew asked.
“Yeah, Jenna and the baby—but it doesn’t matter.
I have to ship out for at least three more months, but I still owe Uncle Sam two years.
I’m thinking that I need to get out of the Navy and settle down.
Maybe I’m just tired,” Ryan ran his hand over his face.
“I’m exhausted; it’s been a long day. I’m going to hit the sofa after I check on Jenna.
” Drew smiled at his brother and shook his head in disbelief. Yeah, he didn’t expect this to happen.
He crawled into bed with Karlie after taking a quick shower, pulling her into his body. He couldn’t sleep without her close. “Did you two finish planning how to save us pregnant womenfolk?” She seemed to love teasing him. Hell, he loved it when she did. He smiled, kissing her shoulder.
“Yeah, we don’t have too much of a plan. Your dad seems to think that Jake will come after you, even up here. We just won’t let that happen. No matter what our plan is, Jenna’s baby has a plan of his own. He’ll be wanting out before too long.”
She wiggled her ass into his cock, making it jerk to attention. “Baby, you don’t want to do that unless you mean to wake the beast.” He bit her shoulder, kissing up her neck.
“Who says I don’t want to wake the beast?” She giggled, squirming against him. He loved her pregnancy hormones. Her sexual appetite was something he could get used to.
“I seem to remember you giving me a blow job before we were interrupted earlier,” he growled. “I think I need to return the favor, baby. I want to taste you.” He rolled her over and saw that she was wearing just his T-shirt— no panties.
“Baby, I think this is my new favorite outfit on you.” He pushed her shirt up over her head and licked and sucked her rosy nipples.
God, he loved the way she squirmed and moaned.
He didn’t care if Ryan and Jenna both heard her.
He loved how loud she was for him when she came.
“That’s right, baby, moan for me. I need to hear you scream for me, too. ”
Karlie gasped, “Drew, no—they’ll hear!” He laughed against her belly, kissing the baby on his way down.
“Honey, I don’t care who hears you, as long as you’re screaming my name, that’s all I care about.
” He spread her legs wide and put his mouth on her already drenched pussy, licking from her opening to her clit, and she just about bucked off the bed.
“Easy, baby.” He held her down to the bed, spreading her further.
Drew slid two fingers into her hot core and found her sweet spot, rubbing and licking her.
She came so fast and hard, yelling out his name, he couldn’t help but laugh against her sensitive folds.
Her orgasm seemed to go on and on, and he didn’t want to stop.
He feasted on her until she came for him two more times.
Drew stood, looking down at her. She was sexy and sated from all her orgasms, smiling up at him.
“God, baby, you tasted so good.” He grabbed her legs and pulled her to the edge of the bed.
Freeing his cock from his boxers, he slid right into her and froze.
“Drew?” She looked up at him, worried.
“I’m okay, honey, I just need a minute. I almost came, just sliding into you.
Your pussy is so tight and wet from all your orgasms, I almost lost it.
” Karlie started laughing, causing all new sensations, her pussy squeezing his dick.
“Fuck, baby—don’t move. I won’t be able to take my time with you,” he grunted out.
“Then don’t,” she whispered, reaching up, stroking his chest. He couldn’t stop himself; he pulled free from her wet folds and slammed back into her.
“This is gonna be hard and fast, baby. You good with that?”
She moaned his name, “Drew—yes.” And that’s all it took; he was pulling out and shoving into her tight pussy so hard that he was afraid that the old bed frame would go through the damn wall.
Karlie came again, squeezing her eyes shut and screaming his name, and that was all he could stand.
He found his release and collapsed onto her, crushing her into the mattress.
“So good,” she whispered into his neck, kissing him while running her hands down his back. She squeezed his ass and giggled.
“Yeah,” he agreed. It always was good with Karlie.
“Baby, we need to talk.” He got up and made his way to the master bath.
Jenna and Ryan had insisted that they take the master.
He wet a washcloth and went back to Karlie, cleaning her up.
He got back into bed with her, and she curled up next to him, resting her head on his chest. He loved the way her baby bump pressed up against his side.
He couldn’t wait to feel the baby kick, couldn’t wait to hold her.
He wanted them to be a family—forever, but Karlie seemed to avoid the topic of marriage every time he brought it up.
“Baby, I love you.” He needed her to know that he wasn’t about to give up on the topic of forever.
“I need you to marry me,” he whispered, forcing her chin up so that she was looking at him.
“I have begged you for a month now, and I won’t stop begging you to spend forever with me. ” He dipped down to kiss her lips.
She seemed to hesitate, “Drew, I want forever with you, too. I just don’t know if I believe in forever. I’m scared that you’ll get bored with me, like—” She couldn’t finish her sentence because Drew sealed his mouth over hers.
He rolled her underneath his body, “Baby, I’m not him. I will never get tired of you or what we have. Jake was a fucking moron because I would never give you up. You are mine and this baby is mine—that’s not going to change—ever!” He could see her thinking about what to say, and he waited her out.
“I just—I want to be sure that—” They both froze when Drew’s cell phone started ringing.
“Who the fuck could that be?” he swore. “It’s one in the morning,” Drew answered his phone, and Karlie just about jumped out of bed when she heard him say Officer Peterson’s name.
“Did they catch Jake?” she whispered. All Drew could do was shake his head. “Why is he calling?” she whispered. He decided it would be best to just put the officer on speaker.
“I’m sorry to be the one to tell you this, Miss Angel, but your mom has been taken to the hospital. She was badly beaten. She is awake, and the doctors say that she should make a full recovery. Your dad is with her now,” the officer said.
Karlie’s eyes were filled with unshed tears. “Was it Jake?” Her voice sounded angry, harsh.
“Yes, it was him. We still have no real leads as to where he is, but we are working on that as we speak. Have you or your sister heard from him?”
“I got another text from him this morning. He told me that he was coming after me. He guessed that I was with Drew. He said I couldn’t hide from him anymore.
What can we do? Should we come home? I’m sure that my dad and mom need us now,” Karlie looked so torn.
She looked at Drew, and he pulled her into his body.
“It would help,” the officer said, “if you and Jenna came home. I need to take an official statement from her, and I need you to proceed in pressing charges with your original statement.”
“What good are their statements if you can’t catch the guy?” Drew growled. There was no way he was taking Karlie home if Jake was still on the run. It was just too dangerous for her and Jenna.
“We will catch him, and their statements will help to keep him in jail this time,” the officer promised. They discussed a few more details and ended the call.
“What now?” Karlie looked lost, torn between what to do and being afraid.
“We get dressed and wake up Ryan and Jenna. I’m taking you home, and we’re going to put an end to all this shit. Then, sweetheart, you and I are going to get married.” Karlie’s eyes widened, and he could hear her sharp inhale. Good, it’s about fucking time he got his point across.
Drew pulled on his jeans and left the room to find Ryan. Time to take back his life, and that life included marrying his woman and having a family.
