Page 37 of Protecting Siena

Days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months. Every week I can see the way Siena’s body changes, and fuck does it turn me on. She’s still kind of pissed that we will never be getting married, but I have a plan to get back in her good graces.

We’ve been here for five months and I can tell she’s getting antsy, and is ready for the baby to be here.

Sitting on the couch, I turn on some movie that we bought a few days ago, and grab the beer off the coffee table. Putting my feet up, I get comfortable and try to relax on my first day off in weeks.

I took a job at the mechanic shop downtown to make some cash, and the owner offered to pay me under the table when I told him that we were hiding out from her father. He was glad to help, and I’m just glad that the people in this town have taken to us. They treat us like we’re their family, and I couldn’t be more grateful.

Sally even paid Siena under the table for the last few months, too. We’ve been lucky to find such great people.

“Slade!” Siena screams. Getting up, I run into the room and see her on the bed. My eyes scan her to make sure she’s okay and when I see that she's fine, I see that she has the box I bought a couple of days ago in her hand. When she looks up at me with wide eyes, I can’t help but smile. She had no clue, and I’m glad I was able to keep the secret longer than I thought I would.

“What’s this?” She whispers. Walking over to her, I sit of the bed next to her and take the box from her open palm.

“What do you think it is?” She gives me the stink eye and I kiss her forehead, chuckling.

Pulling the ring out of the box, I grab her hand and slide the ring on her left ring finger. “I know I can’t give you the wedding you want, but I can give you this ring so you know that I’m in this with you one hundred percent. We can go get me a ring, too, if you want, but just know that for as long as you have this ring, it means I am yours, and only yours.”

She puts her hand to her mouth and starts to cry. Pulling her into my lap, I hold her. “Sloane.” She whispers. She moves so she can wrap her legs around me, and I scoot back on the bed. “I can’t believe you did this. I love you so much.” She wipes her nose with her hand and I can’t help but think how sexy she is. She leans forward and presses her lips against mine. Her belly gets in the way a little, but I don’t even care. She’s even more beautiful now.

Her belly isn’t as big as I’ve seen some women have, but I wouldn’t even mind if it was.

“I know how much you want to get married, so I gave you the next best thing. Well besides my dick.” I wink at her and she shakes her head and pushes at my chest. “I give you that on a daily basis.”

“God, I don’t even know what to do with you sometimes.” She groans, pushing me away from her.

I pull her closer and whisper in her ear, “I know, you can suck my dick for getting you an awesome birthday present.” Her eyes shoot up to mine, and she gives me a strange look.

“You knew that today was my birthday?” She asks like it’s impossible that I would know what today was.

“Yeah Siena, I know more about you than you think. I know your favorite color is red, that you hate milk, that you hate ketchup, and that you love some of the eighties hair bands.” Her eyes start to water, and I grin at her. Wiping the tears that start to fall down her face, I pull her mouth to mine and press a sweet kiss on her lips.

“I feel like you know more about me than I know about you.” Her lip pokes out, but I don’t even care about that. I just care about her being happy, and safe.

“You probably know more about me than most people. You’ve been living with me for five months. You just don’t realize what you know about me.” She frowns and I can see her trying to think of something, anything.

“I don’t even know what kind of family you come from.” The tears start to fall down her face faster, and I know she’s upset that she doesn’t know some of the easy things, such as who my parents are.

“They aren’t much to mention. You don’t want to know the type of home I came from before I met you. Trust me baby, it’s better if you didn’t know.” She gives me the sad puppy dog face again, and I give into her. I always fucking give in to her.

“From what I can remember, my parents were good people until I turned about ten and they had some money trouble. Bad turned to worse and pretty soon they were spending all the money that they did have on drugs. They forced me to steal until I ran away. They aren’t the type of people you write home about, and I’m glad I ran. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t have you right here with me and we wouldn’t be having this baby.” I run my nose along her jaw and she takes a deep breath.

“I guess I never realized how lucky I was growing up.” She sniffles.

I wipe the tears from under her eyes and kiss her cheek. “I’m a better man for what I went through. I know that I would never do that shit to my child, and I would do anything in my power to make sure both you and the baby were safe.” She leans forwards to kiss me, and the baby kicks. Her hand goes to her stomach and she looks up at me with a watery grin.

We didn’t find out the sex of the baby because we wanted it to be a surprise. We’ve had such a great time picking out names and buying shit that didn't matter if we were having a boy or a girl. Either way, this child was going to be the greatest gift either of us has received.

“Sloane, I want to do something special tonight.” She states matter-of-factly.

“What’s that?” I eye her and she just grins back at me. She climbs off my lap and grabs both of my hands, pulling me with her.

“You’ll have to wait and see, baby daddy.” She drags me into the living room and then we make our way towards the front door. I watch the way her ass jiggles as she leads me outside to the car, and I can’t wait to get her naked and on top of me later tonight. She’s been horny as fuck since she’s been pregnant and I couldn’t love it any less if I tried. She wants me to fuck her anywhere and everywhere. Maybe that’s what special thing she has planned for tonight.

She walks over to her side and I open the door and help her in. Before I shut the door and walk away, she pulls me in for a scorching hot kiss. When I close the door and walk around the car, I touch my lips and think about how fucking lucky I am that she fell for me.

Getting in, I start the car and look over at her. She has a huge smile on her face and I love seeing her this way. “Where to, baby?”

“Take me anywhere.” She gives me a devious grin and I pull out of the drive way and take off towards our favorite spot out here.
