Knocked Up By Love by Ella Goode

Chapter Twenty-Four

Honey

Bear reaches for me,but I dodge his grab, remembering he got hurt today.

“Wait!” I put my hands out to stop him. He pauses with his chest resting against my palms. I can tell he doesn’t want to stop, but he does because I asked him to. Bear might enjoy dealing pain out, but not to me. Even now he struggles, wanting to do what he wants, but he doesn't because I said no. “You were hurt. You can’t be grabbing me. You need to rest.”

“I’m fine,” he grunts. He makes a grab for me again.

“Bear?” A sleep-filled voice sounds from behind us. It has both Bear and me turning toward the doorway. “You missed dinner.” Paige lets out a yawn.

“He was busy with wedding planning,” I say before Bear can respond.

I mean, it’s true. He was cleaning things up so we could all have a future together. Her little face lights up. I fight back tears as the reality of all of this settles in. I’m free. I can have whatever life I want now. I’m no longer the nanny. Both Bear and Paige are going to be mine. I’m finally going to have a family and be able to lay down roots.

“This is going to be the best wedding ever.” Paige does a little happy dance, dropping the stuffed elephant she’s holding in her arms. She starts rambling on about what she wants her dress to look like.

“Let’s get back to bed.” I guide her into her room, tucking her into bed. I barely get the door to her room shut and Bear is on me. Or at least he tries to be. I dodge him, but I’m pretty sure only because he lets me.

I run toward the bedroom. He follows me in, closing the door behind us. He remembers the bedroom lock this time. When he turns, his eyes meet mine, and I can see the hunger and need in them. The way he’s looking at me has an ache forming between my thighs.

“Take your shirt off. I want to see.” I don’t have to ask twice. Bear pulls his shirt off over his head, tossing it away. His broad chest is on full display, but my gaze is drawn to his wound. The one he got protecting me.

“Bear.” I close the space between us. He has a bandage on his shoulder and forearm.

“It’s fine.” He wraps his arms around me, pulling me flush into him. His hard cock presses into my stomach. Whenever I’m pressed against him, I feel small and delicate.

“It’s not fine.”

“I need inside you.” I can see the desperation in his eyes. He’s still on edge.

“I know, and I’m going to take care of you.” I lift up on my tiptoes to kiss him on his shoulder. “Naked and on the bed.” His brows lift in surprise. “Don’t make me ask twice.” A slow sexy smile spreads across his face before he begins stripping off his clothes and getting on the bed in record time. I fight not to laugh.

I make it a point not to be quick with stripping my clothes off. Bear’s eyes stay trained on me as I strip my shirt off first, tossing it away to reveal my breasts to him. His fingers dig into the comforter as I go for my shorts next until I’m only in my panties.

“Honey.” He groans. “Now I’m in pain.” He wraps his hand around his cock. Not to stroke himself but to squeeze, trying to get himself under control.

“Bear.” I crawl onto the bed. He sits up.

He releases his hold on himself so that he can grab me instead. One hand tangles into my hair to pull me in for a kiss while the other rips my panties right off me. I burst into laughter against his mouth. “I love you,” I get out between kisses. He pulls back, letting me catch my breath.

Even though we've been together before, this time is different. It’s the first time there is nothing between us. Everything is out in the open now.

“I love you, too,” he says back, his eyes locking with mine. I straddle him.

“I grew up in the system, Bear. I was one of the lucky ones, but I know there are a lot of horrible people in this world. They don’t always get caught for what they do. I don’t care how they get theirs in the end. In fact, I love that you’ll do whatever it takes to protect Paige and me along with any babies we have together.”

“You’re going to give me babies?” he asks. I reach between us, lifting my hips to guide his cock to my entrance.

“Yes.” I moan as the tip of his cock starts to slip inside of me.

“Fuck, I need to eat your cunt first.” I love how crude his words are. I might not look like someone who would, but no one has ever spoken to me like he does. My body loves every second of it.

“I’m already wet.”

“Want you wetter. I love the way you taste.” He claims my mouth as his thick fingers slip between us to find my clit. I gasp, sinking further down onto his cock.

Damn he’s big. A mixture of pleasure and pain fills me. I feel so full as though he’s everywhere. But more than anything, I’m overwhelmed by our connection. When I’m in his arms, I know I’m safe. The safest I can ever remember feeling in my whole life. He is my protector.

“Bear.” I moan out his name, locking eyes with him. “I want all the babies you’ll put inside of me.” A loud growl rumbles from him. The next thing I know I’m pinned under him. His control snaps as he starts to pound into me. I wrap my legs around him, loving the fact that he allows his control to slip with me.

“Honey!” He grunts my name as he pounds into me. My orgasm rockets through me. My whole body locks around him as I come. A groan comes from him as his warm release spills deep inside of me. He collapses on top of me. Our heavy breathing fills the room.

“Sorry.” He presses a kiss to my neck as he rolls, taking me with him until I’m sprawled on top of him. He keeps on placing soft kisses on me.

“Don’t be sorry for that.”

“I was too rough with you. But I can’t help it. I touch you and—”

“And it’s perfect.” I lift my head. I love that I’m so sexy to him he just loses his mind. I push up to sit on top of him. His cock is still hard inside of me. He grabs my hips.

“I’ll never be able to let you go.”

I don’t want him to ever let go.
