“Kane?”
Angeline cuddled close and kissed his chest. He smiled and imagined taking her back to the grass. Better yet, a proper bed. He longed to curl her into soft sheets and make more promises. All she had to do was believe in him and –
“I’m carrying his child,” Angeline said.
Kane drew back but did not let her go. What was she saying? Why would she…?
“We can’t forget,” she said. “He... Noel has me now.”
Shaking his head, Kane’s eyes filled with tears. She was supposed to be his again. All his. But Noel’s mark had trumped his tattoo, and his first though was to push her away and jump back on his bike. He would speed off and forget. What other choice…?
“I’m sorry,” Angeline said as dared to rest in his arms. Kane held her as she sobbed against his chest. He hated the idea of Noel putting her in this position, and he nearly ran when she sadly looked into his eyes.
“You can hate me now,” she said.
Kane saw the way in which Noel had taken her, felt the lie, and now there was the consequence of all of their actions. Noel would think nothing of claiming the child and starting to set it on his path, a path that Kane knew was dangerous.
“A kid?” he said. “His kid?
Angeline’s tears bathed his hands. She wouldn’t want any baby in danger, and now Noel’s child demanded his protection.
Kane took her into his arms.
“Okay,” Kane said. “We’ll handle this. I’ll handle it.”
She cried closer to him, and Kane touched her hair.
“You’re safe,” he promised. “And…”
When he hesitated, she lifted her eyes to his. He didn’t know if he could keep them safe.
But he would try.
Kane was stuck by her soft beauty. With her curls swirling around her cheeks, Kane felt that he could never love anyone but her. She had Noel’s child inside her. It was his chance to run and forget.
“Am I?” Angeline asked.
He folded her closer and felt her breath on his skin. She needed him. And he had to keep holding her. Even as she shook under his arms, Kane dared to bring her face closer to his.
“I love you.” He touched her belly with a sigh. “And this is our child,” Kane continued. “So no more tears.”
Falling into him, Angeline was still.
“Can you just trust me?” he asked.
Kane waited for her to calm. And when she did, Angeline sighed into him and faintly nodded.
“I think so,” she said.
In time, she would be sure.
