Our Hearts (Book 3)

CHAPTER 19

~RILEY~

I woke up wrapped in Damon's arms. I smile to myself when I remember last night. It was so intimate. I don't think I've ever experienced that kind of connection with anyone before, not even with Vince. I remember how broken he was when Hero, Seth, and Damon brought him back. It was really awful to watch. My heart shattered all over again but this time there's no going back. I'm done. He hurt me one too many times and I'm really happy with Damon. Everything feels so simple with him. He doesn't expect anything from me.

"Good morning, love." My heart skips a beat when he calls me that. I hide my face so he can't see me blushing. "Good morning." He pulls me closer to his chest. "Did you sleep, okay?" He asks. "I did. Thanks to you." I replied. He rubs my side with his big hands and I can't think of any place that I rather would be. I straddle him. I'm still naked from last night. He looks at me with love shooting from his eyes. I'm so sure of him. He seems so genuine. He looks hard and cold but he isn't. He's like a big teddy bear. At least when it's just the two of us.

"You're beautiful." He says. I smile and lean down to his lips and kiss him passionately. He put both of his hands on my ass cheeks. He lifts me up a bit and I lower myself over his cock. He fills me up completely and I gasp of the depths. "Mmm, Oh, Damon!" He growls in responses. I start to grind over him. His hands are still placed on my ass and he follows my rhythm. His movement and my grinding make the perfect friction and it doesn't take long before I shake and my orgasm takes over my body.

"Ooh, yes! I'm coming! Yes, right there, babe!" I yell out. Damon groans as he rocks his hips under me, he tenses and then he twitches out his seed inside me. I dig my nails into his chest as I come down from my high. "Ohh, god!"

"Mmm...uhh.." I crash on top of him and he chuckles when I'm panting like a crazy dog. "That was so good. You're amazing, Riley." I smile and kiss his chest. "You're amazing too." I snuggle closer to him and we go back to sleep.

~SETH~

I've been by Vince's side all night. He's been sleeping most of the time but he's been crying in his sleep, calling for Riley. It breaks my heart to see my role model break. He never has before. It's always me or Weston but he never let his guard down and never showed us when he was hurting. I know he broke into a million pieces when our dad died in Iraq but he never showed us. He wanted to be strong for us. Our mother went down in a dark spiral when she got the news.

After that, she was never the same and that's where it all started with her drinking and then the drugs. I don't know if I hate her for what her actions put Weston through. She's been through hell and back and back to hell and back again. I don't know how she's even standing after all that shit? I guess Hero is her savior. If she never met him, I don't think she would be alive right now.

Vince whimpers and I put my hand on his back and he relaxes his body again. I don't know if I'm cut out to be by his side like this but I know I have to. After all, he did for me, it's the least I can do for him.

~WESTON~

I didn't sleep much last night. The baby has been moving around like crazy and kicking me in my rib cage. I'm frustrated and irritated and totally exhausted. Hero is sound asleep beside me and I'm angry at him. I know that it's stupid but I'm jealous. I want to sleep too. I take my pillow and hit him in his face. He flies up and looks around like a maniac.

"What was that for?" He asks. "Because I can't sleep and you're sleeping like a baby. I'm jealous." I pout and he chuckles. "Baby, come here." He says. "I'm pissed." I tell him. "I know. Let me help you relax." I smile because I know exactly what he's talking about. I lay flat on my back and he placed himself between my legs and took my panties off. He let one finger slide over my folds, then he started to kiss my clit.

"Oh, yes!! Just like that." He pushed one finger inside me and slowly pulled it out then pushed it inside me again. He licks and sucks on my nub. I grip the sheets with both of my hands and arch my back to get closer to his mouth. I want more, I need more. That spot deep inside me screams for attention.

"Ooh, fuck! Baby, I need more." He turns me on my side and lays behind me, he lifts up my leg and then slowly pushes his whole length inside me. I gasp, he feels so good inside me. He buckles his hips upwards and thrusts hard, hitting that spot every time. He brings me over the edge as I cum undone for him. "Ooh, fuck! Ahh, yes!"

"Mmm, fuck! Mmm...uhh.." His load shoots through me as he twitches out every last drop. "Thank you." He chuckles. "Thank you, Mrs. Knox." He pulls out, but we stay in that position, and finally, I can feel myself drifting off.

I wake up to the sun hitting my face. Hero isn't in bed. Damn him. I hate waking up alone. He never learns. I pull the duvet from my body and see blood on the sheets. I panicked. "Hero!!!" I scream. Duke and Ace start to bark and run to get help. I cry and I can't move. I can barely breathe. "Baby!?" I hear Hero run upstairs.

When he sees me and all the blood his eyes widened. He picks up his phone and calls Pollux and Seth. He lifts me up and goes downstairs, then out to the car. Pollux is already behind the steering wheel and speeds off as soon as we're inside. Hero calls Dr. Bree and lets her know that we're coming.

"She's setting up the OR right now. Guess our angel is coming out today." I try to smile but I can't. "What if it's too late? I'm sure something bad will happen, it always does."

"Don't think like that. She'll be fine." He says. "You don't know that." I tell him. "No, but I hope she is." he replies. I nod. I'm trying to stay positive but it's really hard and bam! My stomach contracts and I scream! "Owwww!"

"What's wrong?" he asks. "It fucking hurts! Argh!!! Fucking shit!"

"Come on, babe. Breathe the way we have been practicing." I try my best. "We're here. I'll get the doc." Pollux says. "Thanks." Hero tells him. Seth and Hero help me out of the car. Dr. Bree stands in scrubs ready to serve. We roll into a clean room, they give Hero scrubs and they get me started on fluids and start to prepare me for the C-section. Shit! It's happening. Our baby is coming! Holy fucking shitballs! I'm a mother soon. "Easy, babe. Breath." Hero tells me.

"I can't. I'm having a fucking panic attack!" I tell him. "We're going to sedate you, Weston. You're panicking and that's not good for the baby. We need your blood pressure to be lower and you need to relax. Okay?" Dr. Bree says. "Okay." Hero kissed my forehead.

Someone holds a mask over my nose and mouth and I feel myself get drowsy and I'm out.
