I chuckled. “Me too.”
I grew quiet for a moment before I spoke, “For some reason, I can’t get her pregnant. I don’t understand why. We’re young, healthy. I’ve made an appointment with a doctor for her.”
Levin looked at me with raised brows. “Sounds like you’re overstepping some lines there.”
“Probably, but she’s my wife. She needs to be able to bear my children. My son. I track her cycle. I fuck her every opportunity I get when she’s fertile. And nothing.”
“Have you ever stopped to consider that she just isn’t ready? She’s eighteen, Dom. She’s told you she wants to wait. Why push it?”
“For her safety,” I murmured. “She’ll have a greater chance of survival if she’s pregnant. My father is obsessed with an heir. If we can have one, I can buy more time. I just know I can. For now, we’re safe, but what if… I can’t risk it. His mind can change on a dime.”
“Do you even want to be a father right now? I mean, you’re already busy. Don’t you think changing some shitty diapers is going to put a damper on things?”
I flexed my hands on the steering wheel. “I want it. I want it so much it’s fucking eating me alive inside. I don’t know what it is. It wasn’t something I ever worried about until I met her. She became my wife, and it changed everything. Made me want things that never mattered before.”
“What if you can’t get her pregnant? Then what?” Levin pressed. “You won’t just toss her aside and find a woman you can have children with, right?”
I could hear the fear in his voice.
“No,” I said softly. “I’d never toss her aside. Maybe you’ll have to step up and get her pregnant if I can’t.”
He scoffed. “Unlikely. I’m nowhere near ready for that shit. Kids aren’t really on my bucket list.”
“Not even to save her life?”
He was quiet. “Of course, I would in that case.”
“That’s the case, Levin. I might have to just… step aside and let you or Vin do it if I can’t.”
“What? Not Fallon?” He snickered.
I shook my head. “No. I don’t know what’s up with him, but something is. Pushing him out for a bit is a test to see where he lands. Either he’ll stick with us, or he’ll bail. And if he bails, then we’ll know. I’m hoping he does the right thing.”
“Me too,” Levin said, sighing. “It’ll break bumblebee’s heart if he fucks up.”
“And then I’ll break his fucking neck.”
“We’llbreak his fucking neck,” he corrected. “I’ll finish the job I already started.”
I nodded tightly. “That you will.”
It was true. I did hope Fallon wasn’t a turncoat. We’d find out soon enough I was sure. And then… all hell would break loose. In the meantime, I had other things on my plate, like getting Bianca pregnant, finding her father, and killing my own.
Whoever said life was dull clearly never lived the way I did.
CHAPTER22
Levin
Instead of following Dom back to his room, I bid him goodbye and went to mine. I needed a shower. The sugar rush had long since passed. E was right. I didn’t have a hangover or that weird, tired feeling after using it. I felt perfectly normal.
The horsemen really did have an excellent product. If we kept a good relationship with them, we’d be rolling in cash and power.
Not that it was my thing. I didn’t give a shit about that stuff, but Dom did. I understood why. The weak never ruled. And Dom was a ruler. It was all he’d ever known. I would’ve been content just wandering off and living the rest of my days in a log cabin in the mountains away from humanity. Most of the world was rotten anyway. So really, fuck ‘em.
Instead, I’d stuck it out. I didn’t regret that. I had bumblebee now, and she made me insanely happy. And Vin… fuck, the shit we’d gotten into with her. I didn’t regret that either.
After I undressed, I stepped under the warm spray from my shower and washed my body, my cock growing harder by the moment as I thought about bumblebee rubbing her clit with her legs spread open for us. The memory of fucking her with Vin’s cock sliding deep into her with mine. How we’d filled her pussy and her ass. The way she’d whimpered but had taken all we’d had to offer.
