Chapter Forty-Three

Wrath

Last night was amazing. I can"t believe how good it felt to have Flame inside me. I"m glad I waited to do that with him; it made it extra special. Flame's still asleep, not like I blame him. We woke up multiple times during the night and ended up fucking each other over and over. I"m definitely feeling a little bit tender this morning, but I"m certainly not going to complain. I love knowing I feel this way because I had my husband inside of me.

He"s currently lying with his head on my chest. I can"t help slowly stroking my fingers through his hair, loving that we're now able to do this without worrying about Claire and her plans. I can"t help but think about the future. We have Cam now; it"s his birthday in a few weeks. He'll be twelve, but I want more kids. We missed out on so much of Cam growing up, and part of me really does want a mini-Flame.

I wonder what he"d think about us growing our family.

Murmuring into my chest, he says,"Good morning."

"Good morning, babe,"I reply with a smile.

"What're you thinking so hard about up there? You were thinking so hard, it woke me up."

"Our future."

"What about it?"He asks, raising his head off my chest to look at me.

"Well, what would you think about us having another kid?"I ask worriedly; we"ve never talked about this before.

I"m slightly worried he won"t want more than Cam.

"I"d love to have another kid with you, babe; is that what you were thinking so hard about?"

"Yeah, I love Cam, but I also want a child; that"s your mini-me."

"I"m okay with that if you"re sure; we can look for a surrogate and an egg donor, but can we keep it between us for now? This could take such a long time, and I don"t want everyone in our business about it."

"Yeah, that"s fine with me. I"d love it to be something just between us for now; they can all get involved once we"ve found a surrogate and she"s pregnant."I say with a laugh.

Leaning up, he kisses me. Things start to heat up fast, until there"s a bang on our bedroom door.

Shadow shouts, "No funny business in there; it"s time to get your lazy asses out of bed!"

Fucking brothers, my face must show how unimpressed I am because Flame bursts out laughing uncontrollably.

"Come on, get up."He manages to get out when he finishes laughing, proceeding to push me out of bed. I land on the floor with a thump.

Once we"re up and dressed, we go downstairs, where Shadow"s waiting for us, looking shifty. I know my twin like I know myself; he"s definitely up to something, but I decide to stay quiet and let it play out. This should be fun.

"Come on, you"re both needed over at The Clubhouse, so move your fucking asses,"Shadow says with a serious face.

Is he trying to throw us off whatever he"s up to by now acting so seriously? Sometimes I do wonder about my brother. We follow his orders, though, leaving the house, all hopping on our Harleys to make the short drive over to The Clubhouse.

Thankfully, Flame"s riding again. When we got back yesterday, Doc came to check how he was doing and cleared him for riding. He was rather happy about that too; he hated not being able to ride.

Entering The Clubhouse, we walk into The Common Room, and I stop dead. The place has been decked out for a party, but not just any party; it"s our wedding reception, by the looks of it. There"s a banner behind the bar that says, "Congratulations, Mr Mr Jacobson'. The funny thing is, no one has realized we"ve arrived yet, and they're all just carrying on with the conversations they were having while waiting for us. From behind me, I hear Shadow shout, "Seriously!"

Suddenly everyone"s aware we"re here, and they all shout, "Congratulations!"

Both me and Flame burst out laughing. These guys may be fellow members of Devil"s Inferno, but they're also our family. I wouldn"t want to celebrate being married to Flame in any other way. This is what life should be like: celebrating the good with people you care about most.
