Chapter Twelve
Dell
Somehow,sixandahalf months have flown by in what feels like the blink of an eye. One moment, I’m jerking off to the sight of my neighbor in his backyard and now I have a certified Daddy, a mate, and a baby who’s going to be born sooner rather than later. I’ve gone from having a shitty server job to the job I never knew to dream about.
Alaric must be my lucky charm because meeting him has been one of the best things that’s happened to me.
“So what’ll it be, pretty boy? You ready to make the deal of a lifetime?”
In my neutral voice, I start speaking, “everything has led to this moment. I could leave the maze. I could get out of here for good. It would take one handshake and we would finally be free. The only downside? We would be fucking over everyone we’vemet so far. No. Fuck the we. I’m thinking about myself right now.Iwould be fucking everyone over. There’s the rogue vampire squad I took in, the werewolf pack who’ve been helping us out, and the demigod reject I somehow adopted. That’s not even mentioning my two best friends, the two I’ve come to depend on and in turn, they depend on me. Mister Goatsman. B. Fuck me sideways with a cactus I can’t do it, can I?”
I clap my hands so there will be a big spike in the recording. I lean forward, breathing through the cramp running through my middle. Jesus fucking Christ, that’s a big one. I let out a long groan as I ride the wave of pain. Just as soon as it started, it wanes, leaving me breathing heavily but otherwise okay.
Reaching over, I take a sip of my water before turning back to my tablet. I really wanted to get this book all recorded before the baby came. I’m on the last page but I’m not so sure I’m going to be able to make it.
After taking a deep breath, I clap again and start reading once more. This time I get through a few more paragraphs before another wave of pain hits me.
“I. Am. So. Close.” I say between pants. “I can do this, damnit. Channel my inner Boner. He wouldn’t let a baby stop him from getting shit done.”
As soon as the cramp is over, I clap again before jumping right back in. I have to do that three more times but finally, fuckingfinallyI’m done.
“Thank Christ,” I say through clenched teeth, hissing in pain once more. I shut everything down and get myself out of my recording booth.
“Dell? Did you get it all done?”
“I did! All done and dusted,” I call out before leaning forward with my hands on my knees. “Jesus!”
“Hey, you okay? What was that?”
“I’m fine! But you might want to meet me at the nest!”
“The nest?”
“The nest!” I can’t help but laugh as I make my way into the bedroom where we’ve made my nest. It’s in the corner of the room and filled with blankets and pillows. Everything is lined with waterproof lining and the bottom is sealed off in essentially a little tub so that it’ll be easy to clean once everything is over and done.
“Why would we go into the nest?”
“I don’t know, Alaric, whywouldwe go into the nest?”
“Well, now you’re just being a brat,” he calls out, finally walking towards the bedroom just as I get myself comfortable in my nest. Everything smells just right and the softness of the blankets are a lovely contrast to the hardness of my stomach. My body is tense but Alaric’s lovely, nutty scent helps to loosen my muscles and finally relax.
Now that my recording is done, I can focus on what’s important. Mainly, getting this baby out of my body.
Alaric comes into the bedroom, looking adorably confused. “What’s going on?”
“You should come sit with me. I’d love for you to hold me.”
“Of course, Dell. Anything for you,” he says right away, slipping out of his jeans before crawling into the nest with me. I turn onto my side and he starts to rub my back. I close my eyes, trying to get myself to relax.
Alaric’s scent washes over me. He peppers the back of my head and my shoulders with kisses. Everything else fades away until it’s just me and him, in my nest, welcoming our baby into the world.
I’m able to rest on and off between contractions. When they start coming quicker and become more intense, I turn over onto my back.
“Alaric? Can you take my pants off please?”
“Why?” Alaric asks, rumbling in his chest. That’s when I realize he still has no idea what’s going on right now. That was his sexy growl.
I whack his chest and let out a hiss of pain at the same time. He moves down my body until he’s at my waist, helping me out of my pants and boxers. He’s face to face with my soft cock. Finally, he looks up in confusion.
