After hours of tears, loving touches, and kisses Viktor and I lay snugged up in bed. Hours had passed since we had breakfast. It was either lunch or almost dinner time now. I should be get food, I should be hungry, but I wasn’t. My mind was reeling with what should and how should. I was now faced with a different feeling.
I was pregnant and in just a few months I would be a mother. I would be responsible for another and would have my mates, or mate by my side. We didn’t have much time left before the baby would be here.
We needed to figure out this issue with Jake and we needed to do it fast. I would not have this drag over months. I wouldn’t hope for him to choose us. I wouldn’t let months pass with uncertainty. We needed to know what he wanted, really wanted.
Today we would need an answer. Time was ticking and we couldn’t just wait for it to figure itself out. If we were going to fix things than we needed to know today. We would need to work on it over the next few months but first, we needed to decide. He needed to decide. We needed to know that it was us, and only us for him.
I knew it was them and only them for me. Not knowing how he felt or what he was thinking didn’t put me in a good place. It wasn’t an environment that we needed for this child and I wasn’t going to put a child through that kind of life.
I don’t know what kind of life I had before being a slave but I did know that I wanted to give it everything I always wanted. A loving, caring family. Being an unconventional family didn’t bother me, what did was not knowing if he would hide things from us and keep secrets.
“We need to make a decision,” I murmured.
Viktor lay by my side and I rolled over before I mounted him. His hands slid up my thighs to my back and gripped my ass. I smiled down at him and he smirked up at me. His hands trailed up to my belly and rested there. His eyes softened as he stared up at me. He sat up and cupped my cheek with his hand.
“Thank you,” Viktor whispered.
“For what?” I giggled.
“For giving me a family, for giving me an heir, for bringing love into my life,” Viktor murmured.
“You already had love,” I started.
“You completed it. You brought us back together. You’re the glue that holds this family together. I don’t know what he did and I don’t know why he’s keeping secrets from us but I do know that he is ours. He belongs with us. It doesn’t matter who the Goddess made for him. He was made for us. He was meant to be with us. His place is by our side. I can’t picture a future without him. When you came into my life was heart was full. When we welcomed Jake into our lives, my happiness overflowed. Can you picture a future without him?” Viktor asked.
“Even after everything that has happened my heart still beats for him. Despite the pain that not knowing has done to me, I still love him. My heart still hopes that he will want us, but can I trust him again? Can I trust that he’s rejected her and won’t leave us for her? I want to believe that he didn’t do anything wrong but it isn’t just us anymore, Vik. Will we welcome him back? What if he hurts us again? Where do we draw the line?” I asked.
“I don’t know. I don’t know the right answers. I don’t know the right choice. I can only tell you how I feel and what my heart wants. Whatever you choose I’ll accept. I’ll do what you want to do Kacie. Even if it hurts me to do it,” Viktor said.
“I don’t want to hurt you and I don’t want to hurt him,” I cried. “I want us to go back to how it was before we fought. I want to go back to how it was before everything started to crumble down around us, but I don’t want to make the wrong choice.”
“I don’t think a choice made from the heart can be a wrong one,” Viktor said. He pressed a kiss to my forehead. I closed my eyes and leaned into it. His arms wrapped around me and I sighed in his embrace. I was safe and loved here.
“If we give him another chance, it’ll be the last. Can you agree with me on this?” I asked.
“I’ll agree with whatever you want, My Queen,” Viktor murmured into my hair.
“One more chance,” I whispered.
“Just one,” Viktor confirmed.
“Just one,” I smiled.
“If he does this again. It’ll be over and we’ll be done. We won’t accept anything but his loyalty and honesty from here on out,” Viktor said.
“Yes,” I agreed.
“If we find out he’s been lying to us or seeing her we’ll be done. We will… we will leave him,” Viktor choked.
“Yes,” I mumbled.
I wrapped my arms around his neck and pressed my lips to his. He opens and welcomes me in. Our tongues dance and he whines as push my breasts against his. Our kiss deepens and his tongue is needy. His movements are gentle yet frantic as he demands more. He hardens beneath me. My stomach growls and he freezes. I whine as he pulls away breaking our kiss.
“As much as I want to devour you right now, Kacie, you and our child need food,” Viktor said breathless.
“I’m not hungry for food,” I teased.
“Don’t deter me from doing what’s right,” Viktor chuckles. “I’m trying to be a good father.”
“Mmm.”
“Let’s tell him when he comes home,” Viktor said.
“Yes,” I whimper.
“It’ll be better when we can both feed you,” Viktor said.
“I can agree to that,” I laughed.
“You’ll need your energy, won’t you?” Viktor asked.
I nodded obediently.
“Good girl.”
