His Hotcakes Baby (20 page)

“No.  There I am putting my foot
down.  Carter is only three and a half months old and we need to enjoy him.  I
need you to myself for a while before you get pregnant again.  When he is
eighteen months old, we can try again.”

“Promise?”

“Promise … talking about promises. 
Let’s discuss that promise you made in the hospital passage …”

“What promise?  I did not make any
promises.”

“Oh, you did, hotcakes … this hot
little body of yours made a very, very … impressionable promise!”

“Babe … I’ve been trying to make an
impressionable promise for months which you chose to ignore!  Now, I am afraid
you will have to wait until we have pacified our son.”

“How long is that going to take?”

“Oh … until sunset I imagine.”

“You are a cruel woman!”

Chase
went to put Carter to bed after his bath and he fed him his bottle. He fell
asleep within a few minutes.  He stroked his little head; his heart filled with
warmth.  He began to believe he would not have any children.  Not with how he
lived his life, never committing to a woman … never wanting to, until
Mackenzie.  He leaned down and kissed Carter on his cheek.

Mackenzie was nowhere to be found.  He
looked for Essie and she smiled broadly when he asked her where she was.

“She is down by the beach where you
got married.  She said you are welcome to join her there.  She asked me to look
after Carter … for the rest of the evening.”

Chase smiled and spun around.

“Oh, I nearly forgot.  She said you
better wear a shirt. You are apparently … ehm … way too tempting … ahum …
strutting around half naked.”

Essie blushed and Chase chuckled.

“Her words, not mine!  You are having
dinner on the beach.”

Chase felt like a schoolboy jogging to
the same beach that changed their lives.  Apart from getting married there, it
was also where little Carter was created.  It was a beach that would always
hold special meaning to him and he believed to Mackenzie too.

He broke through the bushes and came
to an immediate halt.  He slowly released the breath that had lodged in his
throat the moment he laid eyes on his exquisite wife.

She stood at the water’s edge looking
out to sea.  She wore a barely there purple bikini and a white see thru shawl
draped loosely over her body.  Her long black hair tumbled loosely down her back,
the slight breeze lifting the thick mass away from her neck.

He walked closer and wrapped his arms
around her waist. She startled and then smiled when he nuzzled her neck.  She
leaned her head on his shoulder and moaned softly when he suckled sensually on
her earlobe.

“I’m glad you could make it, Babe.  I
was just about to get lonely.”

“Had I known about this, hotcakes, I
would have rushed through Carter’s bath!”

“Oh no, you don’t!  Keep those hands
around my waist.  They are not allowed to wander.  Not just yet, at least.”

“You are asking the impossible, my
love.  You nearly drove me crazy with your naked sensuality over the past
months and now you say no.”

“Hmm … and that is exactly what I want
to talk to you about.  Your neglect of me since Carter’s birth.”

“You know why, hotcakes.  I still
dread the birth of our next child, but I can’t stay away from you any longer.”

“Well, that is good to know.  However,
I went to a lot of trouble to prepare dinner for us and we …”

“You’re not serious?”

“We need sustenance, Babe … you
specifically need a lot of it.”

“Why is that?”

“You made me suffer for months.  It is
going to take the whole night for you to make it up to me.  And I have to make
sure you will be able to … er … perform until the sun rises.”

“Hotcakes, believe me, with the amount
of pent up orgasms waiting to be release, I will be able to perform for two
weeks nonstop!”

“Is that a promise, Babe?”

She laughed and shrieked when he
lifted her high in his arms and carried her to the thick blankets laid out under
the palm trees.  He laid her down and immediately covered her body with his. 
They moaned at the contact both have been craving for months.  Chase removed
Mackenzie’s shawl and bikini with two flicks of his wrists and she his shorts
and jockeys just as quickly.

“I must admit, this is one time I am
glad you did not wear a shirt.  Babe, please … now, inside me!  I need you
now!”

Chase did not need a second
invitation, his need for her just as pressing.  She spread her legs as he
lowered himself between them.  She cried out when he thrust into her with one
hard and deep plunge. The moment her heat and tight muscles surrounded his hard
shaft, he growled and plunged into her with a desperation driven by her
uncontrolled thrashing against him.  They hurled over the abyss within minutes
and their combined shouts shattered the silence.

“Good Lord, Mackenzie, you totally
blow me away, every time … even with a quickie such as this!  I can’t get
enough of you and find it amazing that I want you all the time.  I have no idea
how I managed to stay away from you so long!”

“Oh you managed, my love!  Believe me!
I trust it will not happen again?”

“That is one thing you never have to
worry about ever again.  Now, honey, I have to apologize in advance, but I need
a few more quickies before I can slow down and make love to you properly.”

“Oh
thank the Lord!  I totally concur with your plan of action, my love!”

Chase
concentrated on finishing his book with his deadline around the corner.  Even
working long hours on his book, he always had all his meals with them. 
Carter’s bath time was their favorite time with him and they always did it
together.

He kept his promise and continued to
blow her circuits every time he made love to her.  The nights when he was too
weary from work, he held her in his arms and when she least expected it, gave
her amazing climaxes stimulating her with his hands and lips.  Those nights
both of them fell asleep with wide smiles on their lips.

Mackenzie, because she was sated and
loved him for his consideration. Chase because she totally fell apart in his
arms with her uncontrolled climaxes.

Chase finished his book when Carter was
six months old and it was due for release within a month.  He obviously had to
go to Miami for its release.  Chase was adamant that Mackenzie and Carter go
with.  He wanted them to also join him on the promotional tour around the United
States for two months.

“Why do you have to do promotional
tours at all, Babe?  Your books sell as a matter of course.”

“Thank you for your trust in me,
hotcakes, but it is part and parcel of the agreement I have with my Publisher.”

“Chase, I am not sure about this.  Two
and a half months of travelling and flying … it would be too much for Carter. 
He is still so small.”

“I’d really like you to share this
with me, Honey.  But I guess if you feel it is too much for Carter …”

Chase smiled, but could not hide his
disappointment.  It was the flash of hurt in his eyes though that softened her
heart.

“You know what, Babe, you are right. 
It is your first book since we’ve been together.  We need to share this with
you. Besides, it is summer in the US, so it will be fun.”

“Are you sure, Mackenzie?”

“I am sure, my love.”

He drew her into his arms and just
held her.  The kiss he gave brought tears to her eyes it was so tender and
loving.

“There is just one condition.”

“And that would be?”

“Do you think Mom Lucy would go with? 
You know, to look after Carter sometimes when we slip away for a night or two?”

“I realize every day why I married
you, hotcakes.  You are just too clever for words!”

It was the first time Chase really
wanted to share his success with someone close to him and it meant the world to
him that she agreed to join him.  Their excitement increased daily and
Mackenzie actually looked forward to the trip. It would be the first time they left
the island, apart from the few weeks in Nassau, before Carter’s birth.  The
first time they would go out into the world as husband and wife.

“Honey, you need to realize we will be
hounded by paparazzi all the time when we’re out doing the promotions.  They’ll
even find us when we go out to dinner.

“Hmm … I can handle that, Babe. 
Anything else I need to look out for?”

“No, the press is the worst.”

“Really?  I find it strange that you
are not warning me about your groupies and ex-lovers that would be sure to give
you their serious attention.”

“Ahum … hotcakes, I can’t … everyone
knows we are married.  I made sure our marriage was well reported on and they
also know I am a Dad now.”

“And you think that would matter to
them?”

“It sure as hell matters to me!”

“I’m glad to hear it, Babe.  What I
want to know is how are you going to make sure all those woman keep their hands
off my man?”

“Your man?”

“Got a problem with that, Paxton?”

“Most definitely not.”

“I’m waiting.”

“I’ll just let them know that my woman
is the only one allowed to touch this gorgeous, muscled body!”

“Oh Lord!  Safe us from the Hawk’s
vanity!”

She giggled and he chuckled, wiggling
his eyebrows at her.

“Care to show me how well you enjoy
your man’s body, hotcakes?”

She jumped on him, rubbing, groping
and caressing him everywhere.

“Is this how the groupies do it,
Babe?  I aim to please you know.”

He chuckled and flipped her over on
her back and proceeded to show her exactly how her man wanted her to enjoy his
gorgeous, muscled body.

Everything went very well from the
moment they arrived in Miami.  The press and even the Paparazzi were aware that
Hawk Carter’s privacy was important to him.  His Publisher made the scope of interviews
known to everyone ahead of time.  Chase told them he would not divulge any
personal information about his family, apart from introducing them.

Carter enjoyed all the attention he
received from everyone.  He was a sweet baby and as gorgeous looking as his Dad. 
Mackenzie went with Chase to all his book signings and he always made a point
of introducing his wife to everyone.  Most times it kept the women from
flirting too much or trying to openly proposition him.  Sometimes they took
Lucy and Carter with to the signings and people adored him.  He was a very
happy baby and loved to laugh.  His tingling laughter could be heard all the
time, making everyone smile.

Articles and photos of them appeared in
newspapers. They were on the news and even in the tabloids.  They became the
new celebrity golden couple overnight.

Mackenzie did not like it.  She knew
it would happen, but did not want Carter exposed in such a way.  She was scared
that it would affect their lives once they went back to the island, but Chase
put her mind at ease. 

“Why do you think I have always lived
on a remote island, hotcakes?  I do not want to be in the limelight all the
time either.  I only do it and have always only done it as a necessity.  That
is never going to change.  I would never expose my family to this constant
hounding and lies they sprout ninety percent of the time.”

They were sitting in the lounge of the
penthouse suite with Lucy and Carter.

“I’m glad.  How many more cities do we
have to do?  I am on the verge of ripping hair out of some females’ heads!  I most
probably will the next time one of them rubs up against you.”

He startled and look at her
carefully.  He has made a point of keeping his distance from all females. 
Quite frankly, he did not need or desire the attention he has been receiving. 
As a matter of fact, it irritated him. He was constantly searching for
Mackenzie if she was not close to him. He hardly noticed any of the women that
tried to flirt with him.  He needed Mackenzie to trust him.  To know that she
was the only one he wanted.  But there were those that just ignored his
rebuttal and literally rubbed up against him as she had said.

“Honey, I swear I have not given any
of them any cause to do that!   Every time it happened I have turned away
immediately!”

“Really?  What about that blonde bimbo
that I had to come and chase off your lap?  You were having such an emanated
discussion with her and looked extremely uncomfortable … was it because you had
a hard on?”

“NO!  Are you crazy?” Chase blushed
when he noticed his mother’s wide smile.

I’m glad she thinks it’s funny!

“Why?  That is how you used to
operate.  I know, because it is how we met.”

“Well, you were different?”

“How was I different?”

“I went after you, you did not flirt
with me.”

“Very clever to try and change the subject,
Babe.  Answer my question.”

“I already said no.”

“Then why were you uncomfortable.”

“Because I did not want her to sit on
my lap and could not get her to get up without being rude.”

“Really?  How about just taking her
shapely hips in your hands, lifting her off your lap and telling her your wife
would not appreciate her sitting on it.”

“I’m allowed to do that?”

She frowned at him, not sure what he was
asking.

“Take their shapely hips in my hands?”

She turned away and stomped to the
bathroom muttering about a conceited ass that was looking to have his ass kicked
all the way to Timbuktu and back.
