Reeve (The Phoenix Boys #3) (23 page)

“Baby, tell me.”

“I’m pregnant.” I wait for the freak out, wait for him to tell me to get rid of the baby or tell me that he doesn’t want us. But it never comes.

“Are you fucking kidding with me right now?” A huge arse smile is spread across his face. I shake my head no and he laughs out loud, picking me up and setting me on his lap so that I am straddling him. “I am going to be a dad?”

“Yeah, babe. I was so scared, I only found out a few days ago. I was going to email you and let you know. I would have never kept the baby from you, Reeve. No one knows yet, only us.” He grips the back of my neck and crashes his mouth to mine. The kiss turns hot and deep and I can feel my knickers getting wet. Reeve starts rocking his erection against me. I moan into his mouth but he pulls away.

“What’s wrong, babe?” I ask, looking into his beautiful green eyes.

“I am not making love to my girlfriend, the mother of my unborn baby, in the back room of a pub. Come and stay at my hotel with me tonight. I need to taste you and feel you against me. It has been too long, Lipsy.” He kisses me once more and I climb off his lap. “You ready?”

“Yep, let’s do this. Are we going to tell everyone now or wait until further down the line?” I can’t wait to show him the scan photo of the baby.

“They can wait a few days, let it just be us three for now, baby,” he says, as he rests his large hand over my flat belly. I smile up at him and he rewards me with his typical Phoenix knicker melting smile. Bastard.

We make our way back out to the main room, and see our family sitting at the bar talking to Carwyn, who smiles when he sees us approach.

“Well that didn’t take long, love.” He winks at Reeve.

“So, is everything ok with you two now? Or do I have to kick some Welsh butt?” Lucy pipes in.

“We are good, amazing actually. We talked and things are good.”

We spend a few hours at the bar but with me working. Every time I looked at Reeve, he was watching me, and when our eyes locked he winked and would give me that knowing smirk. I hand over a few drinks to a bunch of lads standing at the bar.

“Hey, babe. What are you doing after work?” One bloke asks in a cocky tone.

“Me,” Comes from behind him. Oh my man the caveman; a shiver runs through my body.

“Listen mate, I was talking to her and it’s first come first serve, so back to fuck off.” I laugh and shake my head, and in a flash Rafe and Ryder are standing beside Reeve.

“Listen dude, she is my girl, so it is you who needs to back the fuck off now.”

“Leave before you get kicked out and barred, mate,” Carwyn says from my side, ever the step-in big brother.

“Come on, let’s go.” His mate drags him away from the bar and out the door. I smile at Reeve and lean over the bar, crooking my finger at him, calling him closer.

“That was so hot watching you go caveman over me. Now kiss me, love.” He doesn’t need to be told twice. Our tongues dance and play together, each of us getting lost in our kisses. Someone clears their throat next to us and we pull away, turning my head to the sound I freeze.

“Leah.”

“Marc.” Shit.

“I heard you were back. How was LA?” I see Reeve’s spine straighten.

“It was good. It was nice to have warm weather for a change.” I laugh and so does Marc. He looks between Reeve and me and I gather that he wants an introduction.

“Reeve, this is Marc my ex-boyfriend. Marc, this is Reeve, my boyfriend.”

“New boyfriend? I’m happy for you, Leah, I really am. What I did was a shitty thing and I am sorry. I know now that I fucked up and lost the best thing I could have had.” Well, bugger.

“It is nice to meet you, Marc. I would say I am sorry for what happened with you and Leah but I’m not because your fuck up brought her to me and I can tell you now that I will not be letting her go.” Marc smiles, he actually smiles at us.

“Good, she deserves a good lad to watch out for her. She is the best, mate treat her good.” With that, he walks away into the crowd.

“Well, that wasn’t awkward at all,” Letty says, standing in the space Marc just left, and we all burst out laughing.

At eleven o’clock I start yawning, I place the beer on the bar for one of our regulars, when I see Reeve bend over the bar and speak to Carwyn. He nods his head at Reeve and then speaks to Rafe and Ryder. They all wave at me and I guess that’s my cue that we are leaving. Reeve walks to me, slowly wading his way through the crowd that has packed their way into the pub tonight.

“Baby, I am taking you back to the hotel. I need you alone.” I grab my things from the back room because I know that there is no way he is going to let me argue with him. I join everyone at the bar.

“Ok, give me a cwtch and we will see you tomorrow,” I say to the girls. “Hey, where are the three girls? Please tell that you brought them with you?” I plead.

“Yeah we brought them, they are back at our hotel with Mom,” Ryder says.

“Yay! I can’t wait to see them again. It’s been too bloody long.” I give everyone a cwtch and a quick kiss and Reeve leads me out of the pub. He wraps his arm around my waist and we walk towards his hotel; walking through Cardiff City Center on a Saturday night is pretty crazy. People are singing and dancing in the street, there are even a few couples dry humping against a wall and in a telephone box. Now the picture of that couple is one image I will never be able to forget. I shudder against Reeve.

“Are you cold, Lipsy?” I shake my head and point to the phone box.

“Wow, I have never had phone box sex before.” He starts walking in their direction, “Come on, babe, let me have this first with you.”

“Bollocks off, not happening Mr. Phoenix. Now, if we just so happen to have hotel sex for the first time, then…” I wink at him.

“Well, why the hell didn’t you say something, let’s go, baby.”  I giggle as Reeve speeds our steps up.

We practically fall through the door of Reeve’s hotel room. As soon as we hit the lift and the door closed behind us, Reeve pinned me to the wall and devoured my mouth, sucking my lips and tongue into his mouth, making my knickers wet. So, he went crazy when we got into the room, he couldn’t get me naked quick enough.

“Baby, I need to taste you. Fuck, I need to me inside of you. Lay in the bed, baby.” I lie naked in the middle of the bed and watch as he peels his t-shirt over his head and he unbuckles his belt, popping open the buttons on his jeans and letting them fall to the floor with a clunk.

“Babe, don’t you own a pair of boxers? You always seem to be commando.”

“Only for you, baby. When I am around you, I need to be able to get it out and in you in a flash. Open for me, Lipsy, I need a taste.” Oh, my man must be starving because he dives right in. Dragging his hot tongue along my core, he laps at my juices. He circles my clit and slides a finger into me. “Fuck, baby I missed this, I missed you.” His fingers pick up the pace and I can feel my orgasm building. He adds pressure with his tongue and my body comes alive, as white hot lightning zips through my body, every muscle in my body tightening. Breathing heavily as I come down from my high, I feel Reeve sliding up my body, his green eyes smiling down at me.

“Bloody hell, Reeve, that was amazing.” He kisses me, which leaves me breathless again; damn, he loves taking my breath away. He places the head of his dick at my wet hot core and slowly slides in, my back arching off the bed in pleasure; god he feels so bloody good.

“Holy shit, Lipsy you feel so fucking good, baby. So hot and wet for me.” I lift my hips to meet his thrusts and I can feel him swell even more inside me. I know he is close, his breathing gets heavier and his thrusts falter.

“Harder, Cariad, harder,” I plead as desire sweeps through me. I can feel my second orgasm building. I drag my nails down Reeve’s back and his back bows in both pleasure and pain.

“Yes, baby, fucking hell yes, love. Come for me again. Come!” He screams the last word as he pumps his release into me. He collapses and he rests his head in the crook of my neck, our chests heaving from our orgasmic high. Reeve pulls out of me causing a whimper to escape me. He lies on his side, propping himself up on his elbow and looking down on me, I catch his left wrist and bring it to my lips, placing a kiss to his soft skin there.

“Why do you do that, babe?” he asks me.

“Honestly, I don’t know. It just seems like an intimate act I guess.” I shrug, looking up at him. He gives me a wicked grin and I know he is up to something.

“Baby, did you not see my right wrist?” I shake my head.

“To be honest, I wasn’t looking at you wrists, Reeve. I was looking a lot lower down your body, why?” Reeve sits up and leans his back against the headboard. He pats his thighs and I sling my leg over his and straddle him. He holds out his right wrist and turns it over for me to see. There staring me in the face is a pair of bright red lips, with the name ‘Lipsy’ in black ink between the lips. He has had my lipstick mark and name tattooed on him. Oh, fuck me sideways.

“Holy shit, Reeve, why would you do that? Why would you put my name permanently on you? We see it as a curse here, shit. Oh God.” I can feel the panic rising in my throat. Reeve places his hands firmly on my face, cupping it and making me look at him.

“Lipsy, we will be together forever, there is no doubt about that. I want everyone to know that I belong to you. I would love to see my name on you as well someday, but from the way you just reacted, I do not think that is a good idea.” He chuckles.

“Maybe in the future, we have only just got back together and…”

“Baby, we never broke up. It was all just a huge ass misunderstanding. Now kiss me, woman.” I give him a soft, barely there kiss. “What the hell was that? You do not kiss me like that, your mouth makes love to my mouth. Now show me what those lips of yours can do, Lipsy.” So I do. I blend my lips with his, our tongues dancing together. Reeve runs his hands up my naked back and I grind down on his growing erection; even though I have had sex with Reeve a few times now, something feels as if it’s missing. I pull back from him sharply. He gives me a curious look.

“Where is Skeet?” He smiles at me.

“I was wondering when you were going to ask about him. Something is going on with his family so he had to stay back in LA, plus Quinn is there so…” He leaves his sentence hanging.

“I can’t wait to see him, I miss him loads. It is strange that I miss him being with us sometimes?” He kisses me softly.

“No, baby, it is not strange. We both miss having him here but things change, people change and we move forward. We are moving forward with this little ninja; he will know what love looks and feels like. He will see how much his parents love each other just like I did with Mom and Dad. He will see his family around him, he will grow up with Demi, Rowan, Lyric and Ren’s baby and see how much he is surrounded by love because we will put it there. Skeet will always be in our lives and he will be a great uncle to our kids. Yes, there will be times we miss having him with us, but just remember the hot times we did have him here.”

“God, Reeve, I think you just melted my heart even more. Bugger,” I say as I wipe a few stray tears away. Stupid pregnancy hormones.

“I love you, Leah Adams. God, I will never get enough of saying that. You are my Inside Noise, always baby, your heart will always beat with mine.” Oh sweet Jesus, there he goes again, I am sure I just swooned. Shit I think he made every Welsh woman in a ten mile radius swoon, even without them hearing his words..

“And I love you too, Reeve Phoenix. And I know that this baby,” I place our hands over my flat stomach, “will be loved unconditionally.” I kiss his nose and yawn and Reeve chuckles.

“Come on, baby, you and my little ninja need sleep.”

“Little ninja?”

“Yeah, babe, he is will be a little ninja, kicking the shit of you when he is in there,” he points to my belly, “and when he is growing up, he will go all badass ninja of any boys that hurts our daughters and his cousins.” What the hell?

“Daughters?”

“Yeah, Lipsy, daughters. We aren’t stopping at one; shit babe, I want a whole damn mosh pit of Phoenix kids running around.”

Well, alrighty then.

“Sleep, baby.”

“Night, love.” I cwtch into his side, feeling loved and settled beyond my wildest dreams.

I have my love back, and we are having a baby. I know that we will be ok, because we have a huge arse family to support us. And that is what family means to me, support, love and loyalty and I know that I have that with everyone that is around me.

Chapter 24

Reeve

It’s been a week since we have been back in LA and everything is going fucking awesome. Lipsy is glowing and I know that it is because of my baby that I planted inside of her. My baby, wow I still cannot believe that I am going to be a dad. Mom made a few calls and got Lipsy an appointment to see how the baby is doing. We still haven’t told anyone else but that will change today. Today is the Blazing Summer Festival that Inside Noise is performing at. . Summer Vinyl, the all-girl group that Mom and Ren signed, is also making their debut today at the festival and they are pretty rad. They have developed quite the love affair with Leah, always finding reasons to talk to her so they can hear her accent and she loves them as well and has started teaching them some Welsh words. It has been quite entertaining to watch.
