“I don’t want to think like that. If you hadn’t come, we wouldn’t be where we are now.” I pulled away, looking toward the soft-green bassinet. “We wouldn’t have Chance.”
Cane looked with me and sighed. “No,” he murmured with a smile. “I suppose we wouldn’t.”
Chapter 20
CANE
Time went by effortlessly, every moment of it unforgettable. Of course, there were tough days. Kandy was raising the baby and was new at the whole mom thing. I didn’t know shit about being a dad, so I winged as much of it as I could. Still, my son and Kandy were my number one priority. Their happiness was important to me, and I made sure they were content at all costs.
Chance was something else. I loved that kid so much more than I had loved anyone in this world. Don’t get me wrong—I loved Kandy, and I loved my family, but those were two different kinds of loves. My love for Chance felt…unreal, so to speak. I mean, there were nights when I looked at him and wondered how I was so lucky to have him. After everything I’d done and all I’d been through, I couldn’t believe that the result was this beautiful boy, who I knew I didn’t deserve.
My son was a ray of light in my world, just like his mother was to me. My son gave me even more purpose than before. I had so many plans for him, like how I’d be at every practice and every game I could attend when he started playing sports. I would support him 100 percent, no matter what I had going on in my life or at work. He was everything to me, and after having him, it was hard picturing a life without the little man.
Before I knew it, September had arrived, the day before Kandy’s bachelorette party. I had many male friends and colleagues but refused to have a bachelor party. I wasn’t up for it. I would have rather worked than have to awkwardly watch a stripper take her clothes off, desperate for attention that I didn’t want to give.
Lora wouldn’t let up for Kandy, though. She wanted her to have a spa day at a nice hotel, so she’d booked it way in advance. I specifically told my sister no strippers or dancers. I meant that shit, too. No man was about to come around my future wife, swinging his dick in her face.
I had to admit, though, Lora had done a great job with the set-up of the wedding. It was going to be held at our house, in the back yard, with all of our loved ones around. As I walked around, noticing the bouquet of flowers in certain corners and splashes of gold everywhere, it hit me that this was really, really happening. In less than forty-eight hours, I was going to be marrying the love of my life. Something about that choked me up, and not in a bad way.
Mama decided to give Kandy a break, so she took Chance for a walk. There were people in the house, setting up for the wedding, but with Lora driving all around the city in preparation for it, as well as Kandy’s bachelorette day tomorrow, we were alone for the first time in a while. Walking upstairs, I rounded the corner to get to our bedroom.
When I was inside, I heard the shower running, so I closed the door and then pulled my shirt over my head. Kandy was humming a song under the stream of water, and from here, I could see her sexy silhouette. After getting undressed, I walked to the shower, opening the door and stepping inside.
“Cane,” she gasped. “What are you doing?”
“Taking a shower with Mrs. Cane,” I rumbled.
She grinned up at me, draping her arms around my neck. Her brown eyes zeroed on mine, and I felt my cock twitch on her thigh.
“You ready for the big day?” I asked.
“Yeah. Are you?”
“I’ve been ready ever since I asked you.” My eyes dropped to her full, pouty lips. I wanted to taste those lips so bad—suck the plump bottom one into my mouth and graze it between my teeth.
As if she read my mind, her head tipped up, and I clasped her chin, kissing her deep. She moaned, shoving her fingers through my hair, as if she’d been waiting all day for this kiss. Groaning, I picked her up in my arms, and she knew exactly what to do. Her legs went around my hips, and I pressed her back to the wall, pushing between her legs.
Any other time, I would have held off, waited a little, but not this time. No, this time I was hungry for her. Ravenous. I found the perfect position and thrust my cock into her. Her back bowed against the wall, mouth parting on top of mine. She gasped louder as I stroked faster, her eyes both surprised and entranced. She had no idea why I was being such an animal, or why she liked it so much.
