The Heart of Mine (6 page)

"That's mine." He whispered.

"Then you might want to tend to it." I responded.

"Oh I fully intend to." Within seconds, he was ripping the thin lace and discarding the remnants onto the truck floor. I lifted my body high enough for him to position himself at my entrance. Usually I would start off slow, letting my body stretch around his girth and get used to the full feeling, but something had taken over me and I just couldn't wait that long.

I slid down his cock, filling all of me with one swift motion. Deep husky moans escaped from both of us and I quickly began moving up and down, not wanting to waste a second. He felt amazing sliding in and out of me and I could feel myself on the brink of my first orgasm. His fingers dug deep into my hips, guiding me up and down. When I felt my walls tighten around him, I let out a loud pleasurable cry. As I pulsated around his thick cock, he flipped me onto my back and began slamming into me with full force. I clutched his back through his tight white shirt, raking my fingernails down the thin material.

Our breathing was rapid and I was finding it hard to take in a deep breath, but I didn't care. This was exactly what I needed. I needed to feel him inside of me, claiming me as his own.

"Harder, Madison. Harder."

That's all it took for him to find his release and for me to find mine, again. His heavy sweaty body collapsed onto mine, as we both lay unmoving, trying to catch our breath. Madison suddenly jumped up and started profusely apologizing.

"Oh my god, Kayla. I'm so sorry. Are you okay? Did I hurt the baby?"

I let out a loud laugh as I pulled myself into a sitting position. "Madison, you can't hurt the baby by having sex."

"I know, but fuck. I was really rough and then I just laid down on you like it was no big deal."

Laughter took over my entire body and I couldn't help the tears that ensued from all of it. "Madison honey, I
asked
you to go harder. If I thought you were hurting me, I would've said something." I glanced over at the worry expression slowly fade from his face. "You're gonna give yourself a damn heart attack, cowboy."

"You're tellin' me. But holy fuck, if that wasn't just down right amazin'. I don't know what it is about this whole pregnancy thing, but I'm loving the affect it's having on your sex drive."

"Oh are you now?"

"Damn straight. Now get over her and give me a kiss. I've missed my girl today."

"Happily."

Madison

Thanksgiving was fast approaching and I was thankful that Kayla would have some time off of school to rest. I hadn't told her yet about my plans to not finish school. I knew she was gonna be pissed, but I had made a decision that would be a better option for the both of us.

Today was the day that we were going to sit down with her grandparents and tell them about the baby. I wanted to tell Kayla my plans for us before we talked to them, but when I picked her up from school, she wasn't in the best of moods.

"Hey pretty girl. How are my girls today?"

"What makes you think it's a girl?"

"Because I'm a genius and I just know these things." I leaned over and gave her a giant kiss on the mouth. I half expected her to slap me, given the mood she was in, but I was pleasantly surprised when she pulled me back in for another one.

"I missed you today, cowboy. What have you been up to?"

I wanted to tell her the good news, but now just wasn't the time. "Oh ya know, just hangin' out with my gran. How was school?"

"It was shitty. Let's go get this over with. The sooner I deal with the grandparents, the sooner everyone else can know. And let me tell you, the way my clothes have been fitting lately, it's now or never."

"As you wish."

Kayla slid over next to me as we exited the parking lot, and I couldn't help the smile that spread across my face. Everything seemed in place, the way it should be and I couldn't wait to tell everyone the wonderful news.

We pulled up into the round drive at Kayla's house and I quickly ran around to help her down from the truck. I tucked her tiny hand into mine and let her lead the way. I hadn't been the least bit nervous, until we crossed through the living room and found her grandparents sitting at the dining room table.

They were in the middle of a serious conversation and I tugged Kayla gently back, wondering if we should wait until later. She gave me a reassuring smile and pulled me right along with her, until we were face to face with the one man that had the ability to end me. I could feel my palms gettin' sweaty and my heart rate increase.

"You okay?" Kayla whispered from beside me.

"Sure. Let's just get this over with."

I took a seat next to Kayla across from her grandparents and sucked in a deep cleansing breath. Here goes nothin'.

"Granddad, Grams, we have something to tell y'all. So, the day of Mr. Raine's funeral, I was feeling a little, off." I kept an eye on Mr. James as Kayla continued. I had already planned my escape route, just in case he came flyin' across the table for me. "Well, it would seem that I am pregnant."

The room fell to a deafening silence as Kayla sat back gauging her grandparent's reaction.

"Before the accident, I found out that I was ten weeks pregnant, now twelve. Now before y'all go sayin' anything or start blaming and pointing fingers. I just want you to know that Madison and I couldn't be happier about this. It's not like it just happened and we can't accept it."

"Are you done?" Mr. James sounded beyond angry and I sat forward in anticipation of his wrath.

"Yes, I think so." Her confidence had wavered and she now sounded scared. My grip on her hand loosened just enough for her to wipe a stray tear falling from the corner of her eye.

"How could you two be so irresponsible?"

I was amazed that this was the only thing he said. "Sir, with all do respect, with everything that had happened before and after I came back, it just happened. I know that is a horrible excuse, but I have every intention of marrying your granddaughter."

"Why, because she's pregnant? Because I don't think that is the wisest choice, son."

I was growing angry at the thought that he would think so little of me. "Of course not. I have wanted to marry her long before this happened." I quickly turned towards Kayla, remembering that I had never told her this bit of information. When I saw the look on her face, my heart raced and I felt an immense amount of love for this girl.

"I'm sorry. I should've told you this before, but it's true Kayla. I would marry tomorrow if you said yes."

Just then her grandmother cleared her throat. "I believe it is my turn to say somethin'. Now just how do you plan on supporting my grandbaby and great grandbaby? Where will y'all live?"

"Grams calm down a minute. This is all brand new to us too. We haven't gotten that far yet."

"Well, actually, I have." Kayla whipped her head around so fast I thought she was gonna get whiplash. "Just let me explain." I lowered my voice hoping to soothe her anxiety. "Sir, first off, I am selling my house back home. I've actually been looking at a few houses around here, but I wanted Kayla to pick the one she wants. I also recently found out that my grandfather left me quite a bit of money, but I don't want to solely rely on that, so my band and I have decided to accept the recording deal we were offered last month.

Shit! I totally didn't mean for that to come out just yet either, but if I was having to prove to her granddad that I could take care of her and our baby, then it needed to be said. I turned towards Kayla, just as she was jumping out of her seat and making her way into the kitchen.

"Kayla, wait let me explain. I was going to tell you first, I swear."

"Were you? Because from what I just heard, you've all but planned out our entire life for the next eighteen years. If we're going to be a family, don't you think we should have decided these things together?"

"Of course I do, pretty girl." I reached for her hand to pull her close to me, but she pulled away just as quickly. "Kayla, I had to do somethin'. He was questioning whether or not I could take care of my family."

"I know Madison, but these are huge decisions."

"I know darlin', and I never want you to feel like your opinion doesn't count."

"Madison, you took a record deal. That's a
huge
thing in my book. What am I supposed to do, raise our child on a tour bus? Are we just supposed to follow you around the world, what I want be damned?"

"Of course not. I guess I didn't think that far ahead. I jus-"

I hung my head in defeat. No matter what I say or do, it will always be wrong in her eyes, and her grandparent's eyes now. Her hand brushed across my cheek bringing my attention back to her.

"Madison, I know you wouldn't have done it to hurt me. I know you have our best interest at heart, but these are things we need to discuss together. I just feel like you planned this all out without even caring what I thought."

I pulled her into my chest, cradling her head in my arm. "Kayla, I only want to do right by you and our baby. I just want to give you the life you deserve."

"Having you and this baby in my life is all I need to be happy. I don't care if we live in a cardboard box out back."

My heart melted at the feeling of being so needed and wanted by her. Every day I felt as though she deserved better, but now, now I just felt loved by the only person I would ever want to be with. I pressed my lips softly against hers. I was lost and wrapped up in the insane amount of joy I was feeling. That was, until I heard Kayla's grandfather beside us.

Kayla

I was at a loss for words. I knew my grandparents weren't going to be over the moon excited, but I expected more shouting, more anger, I don't know, more anything. It would seem that my grandfather respected the fact that Madison had planned out everything he had in mind to take care of us. I did as well, but I have to admit, I felt as though he went behind my back by not mentioning anything to me about all of this.

I sat on the back porch rocking back and forth as my grandfather and Madison sat at the table inside, planning out a future I wasn't so sure I agreed with.

"Darlin', why you lookin' so sad over there? I would've thought that you of all people would be ecstatic that your granddaddy is okay with all of this."

"I'm not sad, Grams. I just feel like my whole life is bein' planned out for me. I feel like I have no say so and no control. I don't like it."

"Kayla, you just have to let your granddaddy feel like he is part of all of this. No one is sayin' ya need to do what he is settin' out for ya, but just let him think he can." She winked at me and I knew exactly what she meant.

"Thanks, Grams."

"Always darlin'."

I left Madison and my granddad to talk "plans" while I went for a walk. Everything was changin' so fast I wasn't sure I could keep up. After I made it up the hill, I sat my overly exhausted ass down below the willow tree and pulled out my cell phone from my boot. I hadn't talked to Cami in almost a week and I was goin' crazy not knowing how she was. I let the phone ring three times before I was about to hang up, but then I heard her voice break through the line.

"Hello."

She sounded horrible and I felt even worse for what had happened to her, but I put on a happy face, not letting my worry be heard through my voice.

"Hi love. How are you feelin'?"

"Oh my god, Kay. I can't believe it's actually you. I'm okay. More importantly, how are you? How's the baby?"

"I'm good, the baby is good. Cam, I'm so sorr-"

"Don't even. It wasn't your fault. I was driving and that asshole came out of nowhere. You sound off, what's going on?"

"I'm fine, really."

"Yeah, and I'm not in massive amounts of pain. Spill it."

"Well where do I start? Let's see, Madison dropped out of school, the band signed with the label, he sold his family home and he has all but picked out the curtains in our new house that he is going to let me pick out."

"Seriously?"

I let out a loud sigh, "Cam, I feel left out. I know how childish that sounds, but he's practically made all of these huge decisions without me. It's like he doesn't even care what I think about it all. He's sittin' with my granddad as we speak, planning out every little detail. I need a break. I need something."

"Oh honey, I'm so sorry. I wish I could be there for you. I
want
to be there, trust me. My mom is like a prison warden. She won't let me leave the house, she barely lets me talk on the phone and god forbid someone try to come and visit me. Oh well, it is what it is. So how did the grandparents take the news?"

"Ah, well like I said Granddad is all for it now, and my grams, well she just told me to let him feel like he's a part of all of this. I don't know, maybe this isn't the best thing right now."

"What do you mean, Kay?"

"I don't know. Maybe this is all just too much right now. Maybe I'm not ready. Sorry to lay all of this on you. Just ignore me."

"Kayla, I think you need a break. Thanksgiving is coming up, why don't you try to come out here and spend it with us. I'm sure my mom would love to see you. She's a lot better now that she knows."
