The Bad Boy's Biggest Mistake (16 page)

“I can take care of myself,” Vicki said. She sounded
irritated.

“And taking care of yourself you got pregnant, shot,
and heartbroken. You may not like it, Vicki, but you’re my daughter. You’re a
Bad Boy’s daughter, and you’ll be protected.” Richard turned his gaze back to
Tristan. “You treat my daughter with respect or I’ll have your hide, do you
understand?”

Tristan nodded. He wasn’t afraid, but her father
deserved respect.

“I’ll see you at the weekend. I want to witness my
daughter’s proposal,” Richard said.

He followed Vicki to the door.

Once the door closed Vicki let out a groan.

“You didn’t have to tell them about a proposal.
They’ll be expecting it now,” Vicki said.

He cupped her face. “I was going to propose to you,
and I intended for it to be a surprise. Your father ruined my surprise.” He
shook his head, going down to one knee. “I’ll propose in front of the town
people, but I want your answer now. Vicki Burke, love of my life, will you do
me the honour of becoming my wife?” Tristan asked.

Tears were streaming down Vicki’s face.

“Yes,” she said, gasping.

Chapter
Fourteen

Tristan picked Vicki up in his arms. “What are you
doing?” she asked, squealing. He always seemed to be picking her up and
transferring her from one room to another. She couldn’t believe her parents had
come to Law Castle and that they’d interrogated her man.

“I’m going to carry you upstairs and make love to
you.”

“Did you really think I’d reject you?” Vicki asked.

“I thought you might. I didn’t know if I’d won back
your trust. I can promise you, Vicki, I’ll never give you a reason to doubt
me.”

He kicked open her bedroom door. Instead of throwing
her to the bed, Tristan followed her down to the bed.

“You’ve made me the happiest man in the world,”
Tristan said. His lips were on hers in a matter of seconds. He tore at her
clothing until she lay underneath him. “I thought the biggest mistake I ever
made was sleeping with you.”

Vicki frowned. “If this is supposed to get me hot
and horny, admitting sleeping with me was a mistake is not going to cut it.”

Tristan chuckled. “I couldn’t regret something that
felt so right. My biggest mistake was trying to push you away. I should have
gotten a divorce years ago. You, Vicki Burke, you’re the woman for me. I can’t
ever let you go. I’m a selfish bastard because you could be with someone
younger or your own age, but I can’t. I can’t stay away from you. You’re my
life.”

She pressed a finger to his lips. “Stop talking crap
about your age. You made a mistake, and you broke my heart. Everything you did
is in the past. We’re together, and nothing is going to change that. Now shut
up, kiss me, and then fuck me.”

Gripping his arms she pulled him closer. His lips
were on hers, and he was dragging her further up the bed. She opened her legs
wide, and Tristan glided inside her. He stretched her with his wide cock.

“I’m going to make you pregnant, and you’re going to
become my wife.”

“Yes,” she said.

Tristan’s grip tightened around her as he made love
to her. She couldn’t pull away from him. He was so perfect, and she was going
to be his wife.

“I love you,” he said.

“I love you, too.”

She whimpered as he deepened the penetration. His
cock hit the spot deep inside her that took the pleasure to the next level. The
thought they could be making a baby together in that moment was enough to send
her over the edge.

Tristan always left her a bundle of erotic nerves.
There was no stopping the rioting sensations spreading throughout her body. She
loved him with her whole heart. Not a day went by when she wasn’t thinking
about him.

His lips found hers, and his thrusts sped up,
deepening. She gasped feeling her release close to the surface. “Come for me,
baby,” he said. His fingers went to her pussy, stroking her clit.

She came apart from his touch, and Tristan followed
her into bliss several seconds after.

“I can’t get enough of you,” he said.

“Good, I don’t want you to.”

He collapsed on top of her, kissing her lips. Vicki
smiled up at him. “My dad threatened you.”

“I know. You’re the first woman I’ve been with whose
father has threatened me. I better keep to my promise and make you the happiest
woman in the world.”

“You better,” she said.

Later that day Tristan left to deal with something
at the station while Vicki spent the afternoon baking. She wanted everything to
be perfect for the weekend. Tristan was going to propose to her in front of the
town, so she wanted their memory of the event to be worthwhile.

She was mixing some cake batter when the telephone
interrupted her counting.

“Hello,” she said.

“Vicki?”

“Zoe, you’re never going to believe what just
happened. My dad has met Tristan, and there was this whole big deal.” Vicki
went into a quick, simplified discussion of her father’s conversation with
Tristan.

“Vicki, shut the fuck up. I need your help,” Zoe
said.

She froze at the panic in her friend’s voice. “Zoe,
what’s wrong?”

“I,
erm
, can’t get hold of
any of my men, and …
erm
… my water broke and
ahhhhh
!”

Vicki frowned at the phone as Zoe suddenly screamed
down the line.

“I’m having contractions. Go and get my men, now!”

She dropped the phone and ran out of her house.
Vicki didn’t bother putting on a pair of shoes as she ran through town toward
the mechanic shop. Loud music was coming from the body of the shop. Noah, Drew,
Jake, Brent, and Connor were stood around talking and laughing.

They smiled at her approach. The short distance
she’d run had given her a stitch.

“What’s the matter?” Connor asked.

“Zoe’s … in … labour … her … water … broke … you …
have … to … get … to …her,” Vicki said, gasping in between lung-
fulls
of air.

Zoe’s three men stared at her as if they hadn’t
understood a word and then quickly started moving toward their house.

Tristan ran over to her. “What’s going on, baby?” he
asked.

“Zoe, baby, now.” She didn’t have the energy to
repeat her words. Her friend was in labour.

They all charged through Jake, Connor, and Brent’s
home to find Zoe on the sofa crying.

Three men crowded around Zoe.

“What’s the matter?”

“What’s wrong?”

“Is it time?”

“Are you in pain?”

There questions kept repeating over themselves.

Vicki moved forward. “Give her some room.”

She took the phone from Zoe. “Did you phone an
ambulance?”

“Yes, it hurts so much. I didn’t know it could hurt
this much.” Zoe winced, reached out and let out a yell as she squeezed Vicki’s
hand. The strength inside Zoe shocked Vicki, and she cried out in pain as well.

When the contraction ended, Vicki grabbed Connor’s
hand and replaced hers with his.

Several
hours later

Vicki held Tristan’s hand as they stared at Zoe. Her
best friend after a couple of hours labour held a beautiful baby boy. Connor,
Brent, and Jake looked like the happiest fathers alive. Zoe looked exhausted.
They’d travelled to the hospital to be there when she woke up.

“Isn’t he just perfect?” Zoe said.

“We’re going to go and get a coffee,” Connor said.

Tristan kissed Vicki, and she waved him away.
Sitting on the bed next to her friend she watched as Zoe couldn’t tear her gaze
away from the baby in her arms.

“He’s amazing, Zoe. You did great.”

“I don’t even care about the pain. He was worth
every bit of pain.”

Vicki sat with her friend and took the baby off Zoe
when she fell asleep. She sat in the chair holding the little bundle until his
father walked back in the room. Tristan stopped when he saw her. His eyes
misted over, and she smiled back at him.

“What’s wrong with Zoe?” Connor asked.

“She’s tired. Here you go. I’m going to head home
and tell everyone the news about Law Castle’s new arrival,” Vicki said, handing
the baby over to Jake.

She followed Tristan out of the hospital. He turned
and pressed her against the nearest secluded wall. “I want a baby with you,” he
said.

Wrapping her arms around his neck, Vicki pressed
herself against him. “We’re working on it, Sheriff.”

“You’re not put off by the pain?” he asked.

“Not a chance. I want your children, and I want to
be married to you.”

She took his hand, and together they walked back to
the car. Her world felt complete after witnessing the birth of the baby.

Tristan took her back home. When she walked inside
she found the chaos she’d left behind. The oven hadn’t been turned on when the
call came in, and so no damage was done. The cake batters looked disgusting
from being sat in the warm room.

She started throwing away the raw cake batters.

“We’re going to have to call Stefan. He’ll get the
word out about Zoe’s baby.”

“I’m sure the others have already seen to it.”

Tristan watched her working. He filled the kettle
and prepared the cups for a drink, but all he was seeing was Vicki with a baby
in her arms. He was going to get her pregnant. She looked so perfect with a
bouncing baby in her arms.

“You keep staring at me, Tristan,” Vicki said.

He hadn’t realised he was staring at her. “I’m
sorry. I keep picturing you with a baby in your arms.”

She smiled, going over to him. Tristan opened his
arms for her. She settled her head against his chest. “Are you getting broody?”

“Yeah.
I
want the family I thought I was never going to have. I don’t want a family with
anyone but you, Vicki.”

Tristan was willing to fight to keep her to himself.

“We’ll have a family.” Vicki unbuttoned the top of
her shirt. He watched as she pushed him back into the sitting room. She pressed
on his chest until he landed on his ass on the sofa.

“What are you doing?” he asked, smiling. He knew
exactly what she was doing.

“You want to start a baby then I’m going to use
every opportunity I can to get one, Sheriff, and that means taking what I can
get.”

While Vicki removed her clothes, Tristan pulled
himself free from his jeans. His cock stood up long, thick, and proud. Watching
Vicki undress before his eyes turned him on more. The tip was coated in
pre-cum. His arousal spiked as Vicki straddled his lap. She eased down onto his
length taking control. He’d never liked a woman on top, but from the angle he
was seated he got a good view of everything.

Her tits swung free in front of his face, and he got
free rein to touch her as she was the one controlling the show.

“I love you,” he said, staring into her eyes.

“I love you, and we’ll make a baby,” Vicki said.

Tristan never failed at anything he wanted, and a
family with Vicki was exactly what he wanted. Their moans mingled in the air,
Tristan’s need for her only grew stronger. He wanted everything with her and
wasn’t prepared to sacrifice a second of his time.

Epilogue

Vicki was going to be the biggest bride in Law
Castle. She stared at her reflection in the mirror and tried to suck in her
stomach. They were going to wait until the summer to have her wedding. As the
months went by and her stomach started to take on a life of its own they’d
finally discovered she was going to give birth to twins.

Twins.

Her wedding went from summer to early April. The
weather wasn’t particularly hot, but it wasn’t cold. Taking a deep breath Vicki
looked out of her window to see the crowd gathering at the town square. She
wasn’t getting married inside a church. Tristan arranged for a minister to be
present and say the words out in the open.

She rubbed a hand over her stomach, and she was
overcome with nerves. What if she fell over? What were the town’s people going
to think? Her father was waiting downstairs to give her away. Richard was
furious with her being pregnant before her marriage.

There was a knock at the door.

“Come in,” she said.

Her father’s head popped around the door. “Hi,
beautiful, are you ready?”

“I look fat.” She felt the tears well in her eyes,
and she tried to bat them away. Richard moved further into the room. Her mother
was outside organising everything.
