The Biker's Fate Chapter 316

Maverick

Dad pulled me into the den and closed the door, crossing his arms and leaning against the sofa. "You good?"

"Yeah, Dad, we're good."

"Extra pressure."

"Only in the sense that she's carrying our kid. I'm still gonna watch her like a hawk... as will Hawk."

Dad smiled. "Right answer, bud."

"I think Lily might think you're pissed."

"About her being pregnant?"

"Yeah. We're kinda doin' things a little backward."

Dad chuckled. "I'll make sure she understands that's not the case."

"Appreciate it."

"Okay, let's grab a couple of beers and head back out. I'm gonna get another recruit on her if you don't have a problem with that."

"Don't have a problem with that, Dad."

"Right answer again."

I laughed. "What if I'd objected?"

Dad shrugged. "Woulda done it anyway. She is carrying my grandchild."

"Right answer, Dad."

He pulled me in for a hug. "Proud of you, bud."

"Thanks, Dad."

We grabbed our drinks and then joined the rest of the family. I sat next to Lily and smiled when my dad walked over to her, bent down, and gently cupped her face. "Really proud of you, Lil. You're gonna be a kickass mom." He kissed her forehead and then sat next to Cassidy.

Lily turned tear-filled eyes toward me, and I smiled, kissing her gently. "Love you."

Lily nodded but couldn't seem to speak, so I focused on the Monopoly board and my siblings. "Ten bucks to whoever can bring Dad down," I challenged.

"I'm in," Tillie avowed.

"We can never bring Dad down," Liam said.

Tillie frowned. "Well, for ten bucks, I'm going to try a little harder."

"There's the spirit," I said.

In the end, Tillie won, but I was pretty sure Dad threw the game, so I'd be out ten bucks. It was well worth it, though. Tillie was floating on air by the time I took Lily home.

"I thought your dad was going to kill me," Lily said as we climbed into bed.

"Why?"

"I don't know... Maybe because I'm the little hussy who let his son knock her up."

I frowned. "Baby, don't ever think of yourself like that. Dad wanted to make sure we were okay and get my opinion on putting another recruit on you. My parents love you, and need I remind you, Mom had me when she was a teenager. No one's thinking of you as a hussy... except maybe me, but I'm forever grateful for that part. They always say to marry a woman who's a maiden in the kitchen and a whore in the bedroom."

Lily giggled. "I'm not quite at the maiden in the kitchen status, but I'm glad I'm your whore in the bedroom. You're a damn good gigolo, I must say."

I pulled her against my chest and kissed her temple. "I've worked hard to get there, so it's nice you notice my effort."

"Are you sure they're okay with this?"

"Yes, Lil, I'm sure. But if they weren't, it wouldn't make a difference. I'm all in, baby doll. You're it for me."

She sighed and gave me a gentle squeeze. "Me too."

"Stop worrying, honey. It's a total Lily love fest. Liverick is back at the top of the charts in regards to the 'it' couple."

Lily smiled. "Okay, I'm done."

"Wanna do it?"

"O.M.G., like, I totally wanna do it," she retorted in a total Valley Girl accent.

I laughed as I kissed her, and then I spent time gently making love to her before she snuggled up to me and fell asleep. It took me longer to fully relax, choosing to hold my woman a while longer. I knew it was going to take me a minute not to worry. I needed the fucking threat to be annihilated. Until that happened, however, I wouldn't stop my diligence. Tucking Lily tighter to my body, I kissed her gently and hoped we'd have some sort of resolution soon.
