Chapter 23

Breaker – One Week Later

I groan,stretching after finally finishing the paperwork from the club, cracking my neck from side to side.

Noah is spending the night with Kennedy. She"s been here longer than she thought, my boy getting upset each time she mentions leaving, putting off her departure, so tonight is their goodbye night, her job needing her back in two days. Since Ken was back, Doc had taken the week off work despite having medical consults, but the man doesn"t give a shit. He"s spent the week at the club or here at my house, all up in Kennedy"s business, and if her phone rings, he"s hovering.

I can admit to helping him with her whereabouts; before Ken showed up, he pulled me in for a chat. We"ve been strained since he made Prue his old lady. He"s explained his reasoning, and while I don"t agree with how he went about it, I understand. I"d probably make the same decisions as he had.

When it comes to the ones we love, our brains stop working.

Shaking my head, I stretch once more, before scratching my bared chest. I"m in my home office, spending as much time as possible with Quinn since she finally opened up to me. She continues to see her therapist, though Tats" momma, who is a therapist, offered to take over. My girl refused; between her therapist and her dad, she"s being more open toward me.

I"m finally getting my girl back.

Sighing, I check my desk drawer and smile at the ring box. My girl has a lot of surprises coming her way. She"s currently trying to find a cheap apartment to rent, but the woman doesn"t realize I won"t allow that. Come next week, when her father"s off, he"ll be helping me move all her belongings here.

It"s time we get us to where we should have been. Her living in my home, my ring on her finger, and, hopefully, a sibling for our boy in her belly. I"ve already requested the adoption papers for her for Noah, and I may have swapped her birth control pills for vitamins, and was very happy she decided not to get the Depo shot again.

Will she kill me after finding out? Maybe, but I don"t give a shit. I need her tethered to me always.

I shut my laptop down before rounding my desk and heading out of my office, wanting my eyes on my girl. After a week of officially being together again, I feel whole. Since Noah was discharged from the hospital, she"s been right where I need her—here with me.

I leave my office and turn left into the kitchen, where music is playing loudly. I grin when I walk into the room, and lean against the doorframe, watching my girl slowly frost the chocolate cake on the black marble counter.

Her light, golden blond hair is in a messy knot on her head. She has no makeup on and is in nothing but my shirt, looking fucking delicious, though, she"d look a hell of a lot better without the shirt, my name she had tattooed on her ribcage a few months ago on display.

Fuck, I swear my cock and heart wept seeing it. How I missed seeing it last month, I"ll never fucking know.

"Are you just going to stand there and stare?" she asks as she bends and pipes little flowers at the bottom of the cake.

Apparently, Kennedy needs a cake for the journey back to New York.

"Right now, Goldie, I"m just loving the fucking view," I reply, causing her to tilt her head my way, grinning.

God, I"m so proud of this woman. She"s battling her fears—you can see it in her eyes, but her love for me and our boy is pulling her through.

We consume her, and she"s finally allowing it.

She returns to piping icing with a loving smile on her beautiful face, and my body automatically pulls toward her. I push off the doorframe and walk over to her.

Gently, I run my hands over her hips, pulling them back so she can feel what she"s doing to me, making her giggle a little, then stutter, "A-Alex…."

I grin and lean over her, gently kissing her neck and making her sigh in contentment.

Fuck, she"s perfect.

I look over her shoulder at the cake and smile, before kissing her cheek. I'm loving this closeness with her, when something cold hits my cheek. I raise a brow at Quinn, who has tilted her head my way, her eyes showing mischief, and I rasp, "Did you just wipe chocolate frosting on my face?"

She bites her lip before whispering, "No…." making me grin.

While keeping eye contact, I move my hand from her waist, and dig two fingers into the bowl next to the cake, causing her to squeal and quickly twist out of my hold. This makes me laugh before chasing her. She runs around the kitchen island before we have a standoff.

Her fucking smile lights up the room.

"I just want to have a kiss, Goldie," I lie.

She snorts at my words and says, "Sure…."

I chuckle and run to the left of the island, making her go to the right. I quickly swerve right instead, making her gasp and turn, but I catch her around the waist before rubbing my fingers down the side of her neck, making her squeal and giggle as she bends forward in my hold.

I laugh as her head turns my way, and she grins. Right here, right now, the look she's giving me, I know we will be good. I lean forward and catch her lips with mine, making me moan as my tongue enters her mouth, tasting the chocolate she clearly sampled.

I turn her in my arms, keeping my mouth on hers, my tongue tasting her as I grip her juicy ass and lift her. She gasps, wrapping her legs around my waist as I sit her on the kitchen island. My fingers go to the shirt, and I gently lift it over her head, breaking the kiss to slide my lips down her neck as I throw the shirt on the floor. I lick the chocolate frosting off her skin and suck her flesh, marking her, then move my tongue down her neck and chest before meeting her nipple, my lips taking the bud into my mouth. I gently nip it before rubbing my tongue around it, and then moving my mouth to her other one.

I show it just as much attention as my fingers go to her laced panties. I hook my fingers around the fabric near her cunt, feeling how wet she is as I tear the fabric from her body. She grips my hair, holding on as I lift my head and take her mouth with mine.

I grab her messy top knot, untying it so I can grip her hair while I tuck her body into mine.

She moans as her nipples brush against my chest, and her hands move to my shorts. She hooks her fingers through them and pushes them past my ass. I blindly move my hips, my cock hitting her wet entrance, and I thrust forward, making her gasp against my lips.

Her nails dig into my back as I thrust my hips harder, holding her close to me before she breaks the kiss. I keep my hand in her hair, keeping her close to me as we make eye contact.

I hold it as her cunt flutters around my cock, and I mumble, "Come for me, Goldie…."

And she does. She gasps loudly, throwing her head back as her cunt squeezes me tightly as fluid gushes between us, making me groan, placing my lips to her neck as I fill her up with my seed.

I continue light thrusts for a few minutes, ensuring she gets all of me before pushing forward, keeping myself inside her, gently nipping her neck as her arms wrap around mine as she sits up a little. I smile at her as we make eye contact. She licks the frosting off my cheek, making my cock twitch inside her.

She grins at me, knowing exactly what she"s doing to me, the little minx….

I kiss her and mumble, "I love you," making her smile.

"I love you, too," she whispers back before stating, "We need to disinfect this island now," making me laugh. I pull out of her, leaving the tip of my semi-hard cock inside her, then thrust forward, making her moan. I grin. "We"ll do that after I finish with you."

She chuckles as my lips go to her neck again, and she rasps, "But you"ll never be done with me," making me grin against her skin.

I reply, "True," then thrust my hips hard, already needing her again.

This girl is my everything.

The next day, we"re in the common room watching Noah grip Kennedy"s legs, not letting her leave, and I chuckle.

Lola keeps looking our way, but she"s looking more at my girl than me. I"ve noticed the guilty look she keeps sending my momma and me, too, so I"m guessing Ken laid into her, which I am grateful for.

"Noah, I"m going to miss my flight," Ken states, and I grin wide.

"Good," he mumbles back.

Kennedy looks at me, and then at Quinn, who is leaning against my chest, watching. We both shrug, not knowing what to do. Noah loves her, she knows this.

Kennedy wiggles her nose, causing Quinn to chuckle, confusing me until she leans toward Noah and rasps, "I know you want me here, but I have a job where little babies need me." Everyone goes quiet in shock, not realizing she left for an actual job and not because of Doc. However, he did help her make her decision to leave. "And I"ve met someone who treats me right." Doc"s face turns to stone as Prue tries to wrap her hands around his arm. Still, he doesn"t let her, pissing her off, and making me grind my teeth, knowing he needs to keep up the charade for a little while longer. "And what about Quinn?"

Quinn snorts but coughs to cover it, and I grin, knowing where she"s going with this, as Noah asks, "Momma loves me and loves you."

Quinn melts against me at his words. She"s still not used to him calling her momma; her eyes shine every time.

Kennedy nods thoughtfully. "True, but I"ve had you for five years. Doesn"t your momma deserve that, too?"

I shake my head at her and mouth, "shameful…" making her subtly lift her middle finger at me, making Quinn giggle and the brothers hold in their laughter.

Noah thinks for a moment before he lets go of Kennedy"s legs and nods. He sternly states, "Okay, but you must call every single day!"

Kennedy laughs. "I was already doing that, peanut."

Noah grins as Doc and Lola look ready to blow at her confession but she doesn"t care, instead she kisses Noah"s cheek and hugs him, before coming to us. She hugs Quinn first, and says, "Thank you for finally opening your heart again."

Quinn nods, kissing Ken"s cheek and rasping, "Thank you for always encouraging me."

Kennedy grins as Quinn moves from my hold, picking Noah up, and I sigh, shaking my head. "I don"t know if I have it in me to say bye again."

She smiles, steps into my open arms, and holds me tightly before whispering, "It"s not goodbye, big cousin. It"s an ‘I"ll see you later.'" She pulls back, wiping her tears, and rasps, "I love you."

I smile. "I love you, too."

She grins before Sniper hugs her from behind and states, "No blocking me this time."

Kennedy chuckles, tilting her head to look at him, her hands gripping his arms. She states, "I didn"t block you. I promise I"d never do that. I need you in my life."

He hums but nods, happy with her answer. It"s the truth, she didn"t block him. She ditched her old phone, needing a fresh start, but Sniper thought that meant from him, too. Only a select few have her new number, and now Sniper is one of them.

Kennedy looks around at all the sad gazes, her eyes briefly connecting with a pissed-off Doc's before she points at Lola and states, "Behave!"

Lola nods, looking to be taking her words seriously, before my momma rushes forward, hugging Kennedy tightly and whispering, "It"s not the same without you here."

Ken hugs momma tighter. "I miss you, too."

They pull apart, and Crow and Snake kiss her head. Smokey wraps his arm around her shoulder, guiding her toward his truck. Ken chose him to take her to the airport, knowing most of us would try to convince her to stay.

Smokey understands needing space.

We all wave as they pull away from the club. Gut instinct has me mumbling, "Three, two, one," against Quinn"s head, who went back to her position in my arms, only with Noah in hers this time. We all watch as Doc growls before running to his bike.

I grin wide, watching as he tailspins out of the parking lot and chases after the love of his life. His old lady is too busy chatting up Sniper, who has gladly decided to distract her, while the brothers all pump their fists in the air silently.

"Good boy," Quinn mumbles, her eyes still watching the gate, and I grin wide, placing my head in my girl"s neck, feeling fucking happy.

Everything is nearly fucking perfect.

Famous last words….
