Dangerous:Made & Broken (A British Bad Boy Romance)(35)

"Please, Mira. Please stay with me."

I was crying in earnest now, and no matter how much Blaine stroked at my  cheeks, the tears kept coming thick and fast. But despite my outright  sobbing, the swell of emotions in my chest were for once strikingly  clear.

I had a man who had gone against everything he'd been taught just to  make sure I was safe, and who swore to do anything and everything to  keep me that way.

A man, who loved me despite everything I'd put him through in my fear.

The only thing I felt as I raised up on my tiptoes and pressed a salty  kiss to his lips was happiness so strong it nearly took my breath away.

"Yes," I whispered against his lips. "I will stay with you. Forever and always."

Chapter 25

4 Months Later

Blaine



"Blaine!"

I smiled at the irritated voice calling from the nursery. The closer  Mira got to her due date, the outright bitchier she was getting, but I  didn't mind all that much. Her pregnancy hormones were still ensuring  multiple rounds of sex every day, so I took her equally frequent yelling  in good spirit.

It was pretty hard to be too upset when you were working on a constant orgasm-high.

I stripped my T-shirt off and jogged up the stairs toward the nursery.

"You called, my beautiful love?" I said with a smirk as I stepped into  the room we had both spent so much time picking out furniture and decor  for these past few months. I had never been much of an interior  designer, to put it mildly, but when it came to our baby's room, I'd  found myself having an opinion about cots and lambskin and those  colorful things you hang over a baby's crib that I had no idea what was  called. I wanted this kid to know he was loved from the moment he opened  his eyes.

In the center of the room, with her hands on her round hips, my  balloon-shaped wife was standing with an irritated scowl on her face.  "You painted it blue! After I specifically said we would go for  something gender neutral."

I shrugged and swaggered over to her to put my hands around her face so I could lift her chin and kiss her on the nose.

"Ugh, Blaine, stop that!" she hissed, swatting at my hands as I let them  travel down to her full breasts. "They're sore, and I'm mad at you!"

"You're mad at me because I painted the room blue?" I asked innocently,  without taking my hands off her tits. I knew how to navigate her  pregnancy-swollen body without causing her any discomfort, and I also  knew she'd be up for a quick fuck once she was done yelling at me.         

     



 

"Yes! We don't know the gender, and what if it's a girl?"

"Then she's getting a pretty, robin's egg blue room, Mrs. Shrink.  Shouldn't you be all about color-equality? Besides. I have a feeling  it's a boy."

Mira's cheeks flushed a pretty pink, and I hid my smirk against the top  of her auburn hair. She didn't particularly like it when I pointed out I  had her beat, and I was looking forward to a quick romp before I had to  get back to work.

"Yes, well …  just because you keep calling the baby ‘he' doesn't mean it's a boy."

"Mmhm," I agreed, letting my hands slide underneath her heavy breasts to  gently lift them up the way she especially liked after they'd grown two  cup sizes with the pregnancy. I loved to feel the weight of them in my  hands. Everything about her had always been so lush and beautiful, but  seeing her heavy with my child really revved my engine. The twins called  me perverted, but I didn't give a fuck. Nothing was sexier than the  feel of my pregnant wife underneath and around me.

"I know what you're doing," she grumbled, but the way she tilted her  head to give me better access to the sensitive spots on her neck told me  she didn't mind in the least.

"You are a smart bird," I hummed into her ear before I obligingly dipped my lips to her throat.

"Jerk," she growled angrily.

"Mmhm." My cock was already hard in my jeans, and I regretted not  getting out of them sooner. But when I reached down to undo the zipper,  Mira jerked against me.

I looked up from her neck. "You okay, love?"

A pained spasm went across her face, and my heart dropped. Something was wrong.

"Love? Is it the baby?"

Mira breathed deeply a few times before she looked up at me. "Yeah. I think …  I think it's time, Blaine."

"What do you mean, ‘time'?" I said, doing my best to fight back the  rising panic in my gut. I'd left my phone downstairs, so I couldn't call  anyone for help. I could always run down the stairs and alert the guys  out front, but then I'd have to leave her behind-

"The baby's coming," she interrupted me with an eye roll, seconds before  I was about to lift her up and carry her down myself in a full sprint.  "Stop panicking and go get my bag. It's time to see if you're right  about it being a boy."

I stared at her for a couple of seconds, my mind slowly shaking off the panic.

"It's time?" I said.

Mira smiled, probably at my slow processing. "Yeah, it is. Are you ready?"

Was I ready?

Nine months ago, I would have said no-absolutely was I not ready to be a father, not now, not ever.

But then she had come into my life. My wife. And I had finally learned what it meant to be truly happy.

Starting a family with her …  No matter what happened going forward, with  my father and our tense truce, with the business and with all the bad  blood selling out the Clerys had brought down upon us, I knew it was all  worth it. Because I had my own little family now, and no one was ever  going to take it away from me.

Yes, I was ready.
