your body changing. It took me going back to my old club and seeing an old photo of the day I proposed to Jenn and seeing what she was wearing, for me to realize a few things. She was wearing a camisole with ‘Eden - the place of pleasure. Enjoy that bitch’ written across her chest. You see, Jenn called all of her girls ‘bitches’. I couldn’t breathe at what was staring me in the face. It was like she was giving me another blessing to be with you. Anyway, I started breathing weird and I passed out.”

She gasps again, and I chuckle, feeling like a fucking idiot for doing it.

“You passed out?”

I nod my head at her question and round the desk, and crouch down in front of her. I take her hands in mine, holding firm when she tries to pull away.

“I spoke to Drake, who is a brother of mine from the old club, but he is also Jenn’s brother. We talked and he told me that both he and Jenn would want me to be happy.” She scoffs, and I chuckle at her.

“Maybe I don’t want to be with you, Jonny. You left me, again. This time I was pregnant, and I know that you didn’t know that little fact, but here I am pregnant with your baby and you keep disappearing on me. I am sorry but I can’t have a man like that ‘round me or the baby. I want a man that will support us both, love us both. I don’t need much, but fucking hell I demand respect and loyalty and I don’t think you have either to give me, or this baby. You told me that you would never give up your Nomad patch.” She points to the patch on my cut. “So, I don’t think there is anything else to say.”

“Oh, but baby, there is plenty more to say.”

I pick her up and sit her on the desk as I sit in her chair, I part her legs and move into the space. She doesn’t stop me or move away, and I see that as a win in my books.

“I will never give up my Nomad patch, no. I will always be there to help a brother out when he needs it, but baby, you and our baby will always come first.” I lean forward and kiss her bump through the material, but it isn’t enough, so I push up her dress and come face to face with her stomach that is keeping my baby safe.

My baby.

Smiling against her skin, I lay a kiss there before looking up at Eden, who looks down at me with soft eyes. Yeah, she may be pissed at me for leaving but she won’t refuse me now. She wants this with me as much as I want it with her.

With my arms around her back, cradling her ass, I move forward, with my height we are almost eye to eye. I watch as her eyes roam over my face, my beard, and my hair. Before I left the club, one of the Old Lady’s cut my hair, so it is now shaved short at the sides and back with a fade up, and the top of my hair was trimmed but long enough for me to slick it back.

My beard has been trimmed neatly, but it still has that bush feel and look to it that I know Eden loves to tug on and feel between her thighs when I eat her pussy.

“I love you, Eden. I will love this baby, whether it is mine or not. The baby will be mine because he or she is an extension of you. Being a Nomad was right for me for so many years but now, you are what’s right for me. This baby is what’s right for me. If we have nothing planned, and the job will only take a day or two I will help a brother out, maybe, if possible, you and the kid can travel with me.”

I cringe at the last part because the thought just hit me that I need to buy a fucking cage to cart my woman and kid around.

“The baby is yours,” she says, and I kid you not, the weight of an eighteen-wheeler just lifted from my chest and I sag forward. “It will take more than a few words to win me over Jonny, way more, but I do love you too.”

Her words have me reaching into the pocket of my cut and pulling out the black velvet box that Jenn left for me.

“Here.” I hand it to Eden and watch as she pops it open and pulls out the two bracelets. I watch in total fascination as she places one around my wrist and then hands me the other one, for me to place on her, so I do.

“I love you, Jonny,” she says, cupping my jaw and leaning down to kiss me.

“I fucking love you too, Eden. I will make it up to you, I swear it.”

And make it up to her I do for many, many years. The fear of losing her and our baby like I did Jenn will never leave me, but it will also fuel my protectiveness over them. I will stop at nothing to keep them both safe.

My woman. My kid. My woman. My Nomad life.

Is all connected, it is something that started with hate and revenge, but it ended with love and a new road to ride.

Epilogue

Eden

“I fucking hate you and your monstrous cock,” I bellow into the hospital room. “You will never fuck me again, do you hear me, never. Our son will be an only child,” I cry on another contraction.

Jonny chuckles from the side of the bed where he is holding my hand, not once complaining how I am crushing his fingers. Not that I care right now, this baby malarkey is a killer.

Over the duration of the pregnancy, Jonny’s and my
