In one smooth motion he’s in me, and I’m riding him as if my life depended on it. Harder, faster, deeper. He’s gripping my hips, his fingers digging in, probably leaving marks. I could care less. I feel another release coming, and I start to pant. “Hurry, Kade, I want to come together,” I say breathily.
Minutes later we find release. I’m sure my moans could be heard echoing throughout the house.
“Wow, you f**ked me so hard you couldn’t breathe,” Kade says with a satisfied chuckle.
“That’s what you do to me, handsome,” I say between breaths.
I want to kiss him, but he knows I don’t like his mouth on mine after he’s gone down on me. So he quickly leaves the bed to wash up. A few moments later he comes back into the room and we settle under the blankets.
“I love you, beautiful,” he says tenderly, kissing my temple.
“I love you too, Kade,” I say with a sated sigh.
I fall asleep with a smile on my face, our fight over Ashley forgotten. Maybe that was Kade’s way of not choosing between us. I really wish I knew why he just can’t.
Chapter Thirty Five
The next morning, Kade and I get a phone call from James. “Come to the hospital quick. Layla’s gone into labor!” We both jump out of bed, running around like crazy people, getting dressed. It’s about damn time this baby showed up. We grab our keys and get into the car. I put my present for Layla in the back. I bought it a couple of months ago, it’s like a hamper of baby things I put together for the baby, but there are also a few things for Layla too, such as massage oil, scented candles, and things like those. As we walk into the hospital Kade runs into the gift shop and gets the hugest bouquet of sunflowers I have ever seen. He remembered they're Layla’s favorite, how sweet. As we walk into Layla’s room, the sight before me brings tears to my eyes. Layla, looking as beautiful as ever, is holding a little bundle in her arms, and Chase is staring at them both, his eyes filled with joy and pride. I clear my throat. Layla beams when she sees us. “Hey, come in, both of you,” she says, her voice a little hoarse. Kade and I walk in, and both of us kiss Layla on the cheek, then hand her over the gifts. Kade hugs Chase and congratulates him while I hold the baby in my arms. He's adorable. A thick head of dark hair, Chase’s blue eyes which are currently locked with mine, and chubby little fingers. He's too cute.
“He's perfect,” I sigh.
“What’s his name?” I ask Layla. She kept changing her mind and I have no idea with which name she went with in the end.
“His name is Cole.” she says proudly. Gorgeous name for a gorgeous kid.
“So, Chase. What present did you get Layla for doing all the work?” I say with a cheeky grin. Chase chuckles and gestures to Layla’s wrist, where a thick diamond bracelet sits. My eyes go wide. Chase and Kade both laugh. I kiss the baby on his forehead and hand him back to Layla.
“You did well, both of you,” I tell them. Kade picks up the baby and softly coos to him, his eyes wide with awe. I swallow hard. Seeing him like this, wow. It’s a whole different side to him. We stay there for about half an hour until Layla needs to breastfeed. We walk to the car in silence, both so taken back by this beautiful child.
We love him.

When we leave the hospital, we’re quiet on the drive home. It’s not an awkward silence, it’s peaceful and comfortable. Seeing Layla hold baby Cole has me feeling extremely serene. I think Kade senses it because he asks, “Do you want children someday?”
“Yes, I do, and seeing Layla with Cole, even more so now.”
He just nods. So I ask, “What about you?”
“Hell yeah, I want some,” he says glancing over at me with a grin.
The car goes quiet again.
We get home, and immediately he pins me against the door. I guess all this baby stuff has him extra horny.
“I want to feel you. No more condoms,” he whispers into my ear. “I know you're on birth control, so we don’t need to worry about anything.”
I freeze. “Have you ever not worn condoms?”
“My first few times, I didn’t wear any. I was stupid, but I’ve been checked since then, and have worn one every time. Please, Nikki, I want to feel you.”
I don’t say anything, just nod. He picks me up, and I wrap my legs around his ass. He kisses down my neck, then back up to my lips. We walk into his room, and he kicks the door closed. He throws me on the bed, pulling both of our clothes off hastily. Eyes locked with mine, he enters me. No foreplay needed. “God, Nikki, you feel amazing,” he says hoarsely.
Minutes later we both find our release. Then we just lay in bed together cuddling.
We both end up falling asleep, wrapped in each other’s arms.
An hour later, I’m woken up for round two.
Chapter Thirty Six
Today we're having a family gathering at the house. My parents are coming, along with Kade’s, and James is home, so it’s going to be great. Mum is the first to arrive, to help cook. We're all in the kitchen, getting supper prepared as everyone arrives. My dad isn’t here because he got called into work, but he's going to try and make it. Kade’s mum, Lucy, comes over to me and gives me a big hug. She looks gorgeous with her blonde hair pinned up and she's dressed down in a pair of jeans and a blouse.
“I knew you were going to be the one for my Kade,” she whispers to me, and I give her a smile in return. I take in Kade’s dad, Declan, for the first time. He is a handsome man, even at his age. He's tall and broad shouldered, with sandy blonde hair and blue eyes. Declan greets me the same way Lucy does, with a warm, welcoming embrace. After a few seconds he breaks the hug, but still keeps me in his arms.
