The Fighting Series Boxset

by Ash, Nikki

  It’s Sunday morning and we are packing up our stuff to go back home. When we arrive, I see all of our friends’ cars parked along the road.

  “Did you do this?” I ask. Caleb just shrugs. “I told them you said yes.”

  We spend our day hanging by the pool with our friends and family. The guys grill burgers and when we all sit down to eat we decide to tell them our other news.

  “So, it’s still early but we wanted you guys to know. I am seven weeks pregnant. We are having a baby.” Everybody cheers and gives us their congratulations. Marco comes over and gives me a big hug.

  “I hope it’s a boy! We can’t let all these girls outnumber us!” Then he jumps back into the pool to splash Bella.

  My mom comes over and wraps me up in one of her motherly embraces. “I am so happy for you, Hayley. I can’t believe both my daughters will be giving me two more grandchildren in the next year.”

  I love that she uses the word more. I love that everybody accepts that Marco is just as much mine as this baby I am carrying. I look around and I am so thankful for everybody in my life. Last year I felt so alone and now I feel like my life is so full of love.

  Caleb comes over to sit next to me. “You ok?”

  “Yeah, I just feel so blessed.”

  “Baby, I have told you this so many times. You deserve this life and so much more. I will never be able to thank you for fighting for me when I wasn’t ready to even fight for myself. I am sorry it took me so long.”

  “No, Caleb. It just wasn’t our time yet. I believe everything happens for a reason—you moving here, meeting Marco, bringing him into our lives. It was all meant to happen just how it did. Marco has brought us so many blessings. He brought us together; he even brought Chloe into Kayla and Bentley’s lives. We owe him more than he will ever know.”

  He wraps me up in his arms rubbing his hands on my belly as we watch everyone around us laugh and smile happily. I am not naïve to believe life will always be this perfect, but for right now it definitely feels pretty damn perfect.

  Epilogue

  Caleb

  Three months later…

  “Would you like to know the gender?” the ultrasound technician asks.

  “Yes!” Marco says before Hayley and I can even answer.

  “I guess so,” Hayley laughs out.

  The technician moves the device over Hayley’s belly and then hits a button to freeze the screen.

  “Congratulations! You are having a baby girl!”

  “Noooo!!” Marco sighs in defeat.

  “Hey there! You are going to be an amazing big brother to this little girl. Just like you are to Chloe,” Hayley says.

  “I know but do you think after you have this baby you can try one more time to give me a brother? There needs to be more boys than girls. Girls are too powerful.”

  I can’t help but laugh at this kid’s logic. “Why don’t we get through this pregnancy first and then we will discuss trying for a boy in a couple years.”

  “Ok.”

  After the technician prints out pictures we head out and once at our vehicles I give Hayley a kiss goodbye.

  “I need to run by the club for a last-minute interview and then I will meet you guys at home.”

  “Ok, babe. I have a couple errands to run as well.” She gives me a knowing wink. Marco has no idea what is happening tomorrow.

  I head to the club thinking about everything I need to get done so I can spend the weekend with my family. I wasn’t sure how Hayley would feel about me working so closely to strippers all day, but she is actually really cool about it. She was more concerned with how I would feel working with women all day. It probably helps that I have hired Liz to manage all the books so she splits her time between the gym and Assets. I am working on hiring a manager for the club soon since I was given the go ahead by the doctor allowing me to fight again.

  Hayley is going to work until her eighth month and then she will be quitting to stay home fulltime with Marco and the baby. When she told me it was her dream to be a stay-at-home mom I was absolutely thrilled.

  I pull up to the rear of club and walk in through the back door of the club.

  After I took it over I learned that Gloria actually did a good job running it once you remove the illegal shit from the equation. It is now an upscale strip club with a no touching policy. I renovated it completely and it now has a high-class restaurant where people can watch the dancers while dining or go to the second floor where there is a bar and tables to just watch the dancing going on. There are VIP booths that line the walls and in the back, there are several smaller rooms for private parties. Even those have a strict no-touching policy. I added more bouncers and have them making sure to enforce my rules. I was lucky to have found an amazing chef as well. Several people have told me they come here for the food just as much as they do the entertainment.

  Once I get situated I text Liz to let me know when the girl coming in to interview arrives. Helping me definitely isn’t in Liz’s job description but she is doing me a huge favor by screening through the resumes and weeding out the ones who wouldn’t be a good fit here.

  “Hey Caleb… Someone is here to see you.” Liz pokes her head in my door looking extremely uncomfortable. “For an interview?” I ask. I glance at my watch and see she is extremely early.

  “No. How about I just send her in.”

  “Ok.”

  A few minutes later there is a knock on my door.

  “Come in.”

  I look up to see Ashley standing in the doorway. I stand up to greet her and ask her to have a seat.

  “Is everything ok?”

  She closes her eyes and swallows slowly before opening them back up again. I have never seen Ashley look so nervous.

  “I need your help, Caleb. Please. I am begging you.”

  * * *

  I am trying to concentrate on whatever Bentley is saying but I have been watching Hayley all day and the sight of my beautiful pregnant wife has me losing my ability to think. Walking around in her bikini with some see-through thing that ties around her waist has my cock constantly hard. Her swollen breasts are perfect, her swollen belly even more perfect. Even seeing her mingling with people, smiling, laughing, and touching her belly is turning me on.

  I can’t take it anymore so while she is saying goodbye to the last of Marco’s school friends and parents I excuse myself from Bentley and join her. I angle myself against her side sliding my arm around her back and shoulder; I pull her close so she feels my hard on pressing into her. She gives me a mischievous smile as she returns my embrace and we wave goodbye to the departing guest. As we lose sight of them, I turn her into me and whisper five simple words to sum up the thoughts of how irresistible she has been today. “You look so fucking hot.” I want to say more. Shit I want to do more but I have to remind myself this is an important day for Marco on so many levels so my dick is just going to have to wait until later.

  Now that all of Marco’s friends from school have left and it’s just our close friends and family Hayley and I go inside to grab the last but definitely not the least of his birthday presents. I swear I am just as excited if not more excited than Marco is about today. We gather everyone around the outdoor table by the pool. Kayla already knows what this last present is so she has her camera ready. We watch in anticipation and excitement as Marco rips open the wrapping paper and briefly reads his new-framed official birth certificate and reads aloud “Marco Alejandro Michaels.” His reaction of surprise and happiness has us all crying. I pull him and Hayley into a three-way hug and declare “We are now officially the Michaels family!” and my heart swells.

  While Hayley was able to adopt Marco a few months ago, I had to wait until we were married. The day our marriage certificate came in we went down to the courthouse to file the adoption and name change paperwork. I thought being a husband and father would be scary but it’s honestly the best decision I have ever made. I can’t wait to add our little princess to the mix. All-in-a
ll, today has been the best half-year birthday- Fourth of July- official adoption ever.

  After the full day we have had, I can tell Hayley is getting tired so I tell her to go inside and relax while Marco and I clean up. He talks my ear off about the most exciting parts of his first birthday party and all the presents he received. I don’t think I have ever seen a kid so grateful. After we are done cleaning I tell him to grab a shower and then he can play one of his new videogames for thirty minutes before bed.

  While he is content in his world I head off to take a shower myself. I stop as I enter the room. Hayley is napping on the bed and I contemplate backing out of the room and taking a shower down the hall so I don’t disturb her. She looks so gorgeous laying there, her face slightly pink from the sun and the hint of a smile on her lips. I wonder if she is dreaming. Before I can decide whether or not to wake her up she stirs awake on her own.

  “Hey,” she says sleepily.

  “Hey yourself. You feel rested?”

  “Yes, thank you.”

  “Well the house is clean and Marco is clean and playing a video game… I was going to take a shower. Do you want to join me?”

  “You know it.”

  I help her up and then lead the way into the bathroom stripping my board shorts as I go. She playfully slaps my ass in the process and picks up my shorts to throw them in the hamper. I turn on the shower to let the water heat up while she undresses and turn back to give her a hug, my cock grazing her protruding stomach. My dick jumps against her belly as I kiss her mouth softly seeking entrance. She willingly obliges and her mouth is sweet and warm. Just like her pussy.

  In the shower, I can’t take my eyes off of her as she soaps up her body, caressing her breasts and rubbing her hand over her mound. I don't know if she’s purposely doing it but she is so damn sexy. I ignore my desire for her and fill her in on what Marco told me about his party.

  As soon as we are done drying off, I throw on my boxers and sweats, and then peek into Marco’s room. “Hey Bud, it’s time for bed. Mom and I will be in to say goodnight in a minute.”

  Hayley is smiling at me as I come back into our room to get her.

  “What?” I ask playfully.

  “Nothing, it’s just that I am so happy.”

  “Ditto,” I reply as we both head back out to say goodnight to our son. I don’t think I will ever get tired of saying those words. Our son.

  After we say goodnight we both head back to the bedroom to relax. I’m just going to be real, everyone expects you to love every minute of pregnancy but honestly Hayley’s first trimester kind of sucked. She constantly had morning sickness, thought she looked fat not pregnant despite me telling her every day how beautiful she is, and she didn't want to be touched much less have sex most days.

  But if the first trimester sucked the second had to be amazing. She is no longer sick, her belly has become more pronounced so she feels better about herself, and to top it off she is horny twenty-four seven. If the rest of her pregnancy stays like this I can see myself knocking her up at least a couple more times.

  I look over at my wife reading on her iPad and hope whatever scene she is reading will help make tonight interesting.

  Hayley

  “Any good scenes in that book?”

  I look over at my husband, shake my head and laugh. I swear his brain is hardwired to think about sex at all times of the day. “Yes, but not what you are thinking. The couple in the book just said their vows and everyone is clapping for them as they kiss.”

  “Do you regret not having a wedding like that?”

  I don’t even need to think about my answer before responding. “No, all I wanted was to be married to you. I didn’t need or want any of the glitz or glamour. I just needed and wanted you.”

  After everybody left our house after celebrating our engagement we cleaned up, put Marco to bed, and then sprawled across the couch to watch some television. The movie What Happens in Vegas was on and Caleb made a joke about it and then laughed.

  “Huh?” To be honest I wasn’t really paying attention to the movie or to him. I was staring at my beautiful engagement ring and on cloud nine.

  “We live in Vegas. We wouldn’t even have to elope. We should go to the courthouse tomorrow and just get married.”

  I sat up straight and assessed whether or not he was serious. I couldn’t tell.

  “Are you being serious or fucking with me?”

  “I don’t know… if I was serious would that be something you would consider? I mean do you want the big wedding? I want you to have whatever you want.”

  “Let’s do it.”

  Caleb sat up mimicking my position.

  “Hayley, are you being serious or fucking with me?”

  “Are we playing copy-cat?”

  “What the fuck is copy-cat?” He looked confused.

  “Never mind. Yes, I am serious. Let’s get married tomorrow, just you, Marco, and me. Let’s go to the courthouse and get married, and then file for you to adopt Marco.”

  “Hayley, are you sure? I know most women want a big wedding…”

  “No, I don’t. I just want you.”

  And that’s exactly what we did.

  “Earth to Hayley. You there?”

  I put my iPad on the nightstand and then roll over to straddle my husband. “I’m sorry. I was remembering the night we decided to elope. Do you have any regrets?”

  Caleb puts his hands on my belly and gently massages my front. “Baby, my only regret is not making you mine even sooner.”

  He takes me by my hips and carefully lifts me off of him laying me on my back so he is hovering over me. Then he drags his body down mine until his face is level with my protruding belly. Lifting up my shirt until it reaches just below my breasts he gives my belly a kiss and then looks up at me. “Have I told you today how beautiful you look knocked up with my baby?”

  I shake my head laughing at his choice of words. “Well, that’s a damn shame, because you do. You look fucking gorgeous with my baby in you. I think I might have to keep you pregnant for the next several years.”

  He gives my belly one more kiss then moves downward towards my sex. He pushes my pajamas bottoms and panties down my legs throwing them on the ground. Spreading my legs and then spreading my folds he softly blows onto my clit eliciting chills straight up my spine causing my nipples to harden.

  “Baby, grab your nipples for me.” I do as he says and remove my shirt adding it to the pile of clothes on the floor. With my eyes locked on Caleb’s I take both of my nipples between my thumbs and forefingers and twist them to the point it just not hurts. I can’t help but let out a moan.

  Caleb gives me a sexy smirk and then his face disappears between my legs. He blows one more time on my sex and then his mouth is on my clit. Licking it. Sucking it. Biting it. My hips buck needing more. He inserts two fingers into my soaking wet pussy and I damn near come on the spot. He continues to lick my swollen clit while finger fucking me. My orgasm begins to build higher and higher. I am wound so tight I need to release. I can feel it right there on the edge and I just want to fall. I twist my sensitive nipples one last time and that’s all it takes to push me off the ledge, my orgasm spilling over. My eyes close from the intensity and I swear I feel light headed.

  When I open my eyes, my beautiful husband is staring at me with a huge grin on his face.

  “Get up here,” I demand playfully. He crawls back up my body and without saying a word enters me. His hands are on either side of my face and I can feel his abs rubbing up against my belly. He leans his face down and gives me a kiss. I can taste myself on him and it’s such a turn on. He lifts his upper body off me and grabbing one of my legs hooks it on his forearm angling himself to go deeper. With his other hand, he begins to rub my clit. I am already sensitive from my last orgasm and within minutes I am coming again. Once he knows I have come Caleb picks up his speed and seconds later is coming in me.

  He gets up to clean himself and grabs a washcloth for me.
After we are both clean he throws the washcloth into the hamper and lies down in bed spooning me from behind, wrapping his arms around me with his hands splayed out across my belly. Ever since he found out I was pregnant this has become his go to position. Some nights I would seriously like to push him away and tell him I need my space but when he told me he read the baby can feel his warmth, I knew I better get used to sleeping in this position.

  “Did your interview go good today?” I ask remembering he is in need of a new dancer since one of the girls had to quit suddenly.

  His body tenses but quickly relaxes. “I filled the position.”

  “That’s good. You know if you ever need a fill-in once I’m no longer pregnant I can totally be your girl. I bet I could bust out some serious moves on a pole.”

  He nuzzles his face into my hair and chuckles quietly.

  “The only place I want to see you busting out any moves is in this bedroom, baby. You are mine. Mine to touch. Mine to kiss. Mine to love.”

  “And you are mine.”

  “Damn right, baby. I am yours.”

  The End

  Fighting for your Love

  Dedication

  To my children, who show me every day the true meaning of love.

  Prologue

  Ashley

  Six years ago….

  “Shut that fucking kid up! All he does is cry!”

  “He’s a baby. Please stop yelling. You are only making it worse! Your yelling isn’t helping at all. It’s only scaring him.”

  “Then make him shut the hell up!”

  “I will if you move out of my…” Whack! My face jerks to the side at the impact of his hand hitting me straight across my cheek. It stings like a bitch but I don’t dare show it. I’m not about to let him know he has gotten to me. I get right in his face because I have had enough of his shit.

  “You don’t even want to be here anymore. Why don’t you just leave?”
