Chapter Six

Reed showed up in Maine early in the morning. Matt said they were going to arrive earlier than expected, so he wanted to catch Danielle off guard. He drove to the Kane cabin in hopes of winning Danielle back. He didn’t think that he could let her go.

Knocking on the door, Spencer answered. “Hey! Come on in. So, what’s up, Reed?” He walked into the living room where Matt and Ryan were chilling out watching the Patriots play the Jets.

“So, Reed, you got here fast. Rose isn’t here,” Matt said with a chuckle, knowing damn well that she wasn’t the reason he came there. The crazed look in his eyes was just for Danielle.

“Where is she?” he asked anxiously. It was clear Danielle wasn’t there either as he looked around the room, only seeing the three Kane brothers.

“She’s out shopping with my parents and Dani. So why don’t you tell us all why you’re actually here?” Matt taunted, crossing his arms with a big ass grin.

“Fuck off, Matt. Spencer, Ryan, I already told your brother, but now let me tell you... And before you go off the handle, know that Danielle is extremely important to me. I did meet your sister at the hotel that afternoon.” Reed continued to tell them what happened but left out the wedding.

He directed his speech at his best friend. “I love your sister very much. Do you remember when I broke up with Eve?” Spencer nodded. “Well, I dropped her because that afternoon I’d seen Danielle at a restaurant. I didn’t know who she was, but I wanted to know her. My colleague told me she was your sister. Truthfully, I understood then why you kept her hidden. I had every intention of approaching you about her, but with Mitch’s bullshit I didn’t know how well my interest would be received. So, I waited until I couldn’t any longer and tried to play it off when you told me to look out for her. We were both in Vegas…so I made my move. I didn’t know she was hopped up on ecstasy or I would’ve just made her go to sleep. I thought she was just feeling the way I did. When she left the next day, I knew she regretted it.”

“You need to talk to her,” Ryan added. “I’m betting you’re the reason she’s been upset.”

Just then Reed’s phone buzzed. It was a threatening message text message: Reed, that slut is a dead bitch. She was supposed to seduce Kane not be taken in. I’m going to deal with her.

“Mitch is looking for Rose,” he said apprehensively. “I’m worried he might do something to her. We’ve got to find her.”

Spencer ran out the door without waiting a moment. Reed knew right then and there, Spence had feelings for his sister. The guys joined Spencer, and Reed jumped into his truck. They all drove to town to find Rose, Danielle, and Spencer’s parents. He hoped to hell that Mitch didn’t get to them first. Reed was anxious about seeing Danielle again, but he needed to deal with his uncle before it was too late.

By the time he made it out of his truck, he saw Richard Kane protecting Rose behind his back. Mitch was threatening them when Spencer entered the fray, but all Reed noticed was Danielle. His hurt from her abandonment turned into anger. He wanted to touch her, to feel her in his arms. He stared at her, but she refused to look up at him.

As Spencer knocked Mitch to the ground and took Rose into his arms, Reed walked up to his uncle and kicked him. “You’re a sick fuck and if you come near the Kane’s, Rose, or me, we will destroy you.”

“You would side with them instead of your family?”

“They are my family.” He walked up to Danielle and put his hand around her waist, caressing her belly. He took his opportunity to claim her in front of everyone while they were all concerned about Rose, taking the heat off him.

Danielle looked up at Reed as he held her to his side, wondering if he knew about the baby, somehow. Was that the reason he was here? She wondered. She joined her parents earlier than expected for the holidays to avoid the confrontation with him, thinking he was going to go to her place in Boston. Yesterday, she’d received a call from him. She played it over and over again throughout the day. Listening to his deep timber, his anger and his fear that he took advantage of her.

Danielle…this is Reed. I’m calling because I found out that you were drugged that night. Fuck, I wish you would have told me. I understand why you ran. I hate that I didn’t recognize it. I don’t regret what we did, but I wish you’d done it with a clear head. Damn it, Danielle. I wish things were different.

“This is not over,” Mitch Landry told them as he was about to walk away.

“No, it is not. Mr. Mitchell Landry, you are under arrest for attempted murder of your daughter, Rose Landry.” Sheriff Bud McCallen, or Mac as he is referred to, approached the scene with his deputy in tow. Mitch was read his rights and cuffed, but he still could not keep his mouth shut.

“That stupid bitch is not my daughter, her whore of a mother and,” he turned to Reed, “your prick of a father made that little slut. Watch out, Spencer, you may be with her now, but Matt has his eye on her and you will be made a fool, just like me.”

Needless to say, the shock was so big it could have registered an 8.1 on the Richter scale. Spencer wanted to murder Landry right there. “Sheriff, get this fuck out of here before I am arrested for murder.”

“Spencer, thanks for the tip on the car. It would have been overlooked, and he would have gotten away with it,” the sheriff said. Rose was in Spencer’s arms resting her head on his chest, letting her tears coat his jacket.

“Rose, let’s go,” he pulled her away from the scene as they loaded Mitchell Landry into the back of the police car. He opened the door and put her in the front seat of the truck.

After the crowd that formed dispersed, the family decided to head back to the cabin and talk. There was a great deal of air to clear. Richard, Rachel and their two youngest boys went in their truck while Spencer took Rose with him. Reed grabbed hold of Danielle’s hand and pulled her along to his truck. “Hey, ass, I am going with my family. Let me go!” Danielle cried out.

“We are family now, so you are going with me. If you want to argue about it, I can tell them about the marriage right now or we can talk first and tell them together. It’s up to you, baby doll,” Reed threatened her.

Not sure if he was bluffing, she agreed, “Fine, but I still think you’re an ass.”

She made a face at the man she wasn’t sure she could trust but couldn’t help but love.

~~~~

Once they were in the truck, he stole her hand, looked down at its emptiness then intertwined their fingers. He smiled when she didn’t reject his gesture and even squeezed his hand. He understood why she wasn’t wearing her rings. He had taken his off the moment he got into town. He knew that if her family didn’t know she was married that meant she wasn’t wearing his ring. To not look like a weak ass, he took his off.

He drove for about a quarter mile when he pulled off into a secluded bend in the road. “I have a lot of questions, but I’m not going to deal with it right now. I have to do this...” Reed warned as he pulled her over the gear shift and onto his lap. Her thighs lay on the outside of his. Not breaking eye contact, he cupped her cheeks, pulling her face close and kissing her softly. Her hands were pressed on his chest. Then she tightly grasped his shirt, pulling him closer and intensifying their kiss. Reed’s hands crept down to her ass while she slid her hands into his hair.

Pulling away from her mouth, he said, “Please tell me you’re completely sober.”

“Yes. Reed, I am,” she answered with a giggle before grabbing his face and kissing him with such voracity that Reed knew she needed him. He slowly unzipped her coat and pulled it off her slender arms, tossing it to the side. With Danielle grinding on his lap, he couldn’t think straight, but he needed to make something clear so he pulled her face away from his again. Looking her in the eyes as he pushed his hard cock against her heat, he growled, “If you keep it up, I’m fucking you right here, right now, and if I haven’t bred you yet, you will be after this. I’ve got a month of cum just waiting for your pussy.”

“Reed.” She sighed as she lifted up her ass and rolled down, grinding her pussy against his aching, confined cock.

“Damn it, Dani,” he groaned. Their bodies were pressed so close together that he felt her pussy dampen her jeans. “I warned you.”

He opened the door and climbed out. Adjusting his cock, he gave her a wink before closing the driver side door. Walking to the back of the truck, the cold not even taking down his deprived erection, he opened the hatch and laid down the rows of seats. Bunching his coat up into a ball, he made a makeshift pillow. He slid down the passenger seat, “Climb over and strip.”

“I can’t, these boots,” she replied guiltily. Reed looked at the boots and changed his plan, and it seemed Danielle had the same idea. “Can’t we just pull my pants down and you can do me from behind?”

He gave his pulsing cock a squeeze trying to eliminate his intense need to cum. His breathing was labored while he struggled to pull his jeans down over his wet boxers. He looked up at Danielle, who licked her lips as she watched him unleash his cock.

“Oh no, Dani. If you suck it, I will shoot off fast.” Reed closed his eyes, trying to calm himself down, but it wasn’t working so he changed his mind. She was no help either; her eyes were dilated as she stared at his cock. “Better yet, Danielle—get over here and suck it.” She moved stealthily around on her hands and knees in the small space, never moving her gaze from her prey. Licking her lips, she gripped Reed’s cock and caused it to give a little squirt of his cum. She ran her fingers over the head, letting his essence spread all over his head and down his shaft. Tormenting the poor man, she took her jizz-coated fingers and licked them clean before sucking him back into her mouth. With a feral groan, he came down her throat.

Reed took her mouth, tasting himself, only increasing his hunger for her. Danielle moaned when he sucked her tongue and then bit it.

“Turn around on all fours, baby doll,” he ordered, and she obeyed. Reed stared at her denim-covered ass, leaned over her back and wrapped his hands around her waist. He undid her jeans and pulled them down over her ass to the end of her high boots, growling as he eyed her white panties with her drenched pussy panel. He sat back on his heels, gripped and parted the back of her thighs and pressed his face into her covered pussy.

“Ahh!” Danielle gasped in shock as he used his nose to push her panties aside then pressed his tongue roughly against her clit. Reed could feel her heartbeat pulsing through it, rapidly beating for him to finish what he started. Pleasing her pussy was a must for him. He needed her to know who was in control in the relationship.

He gave her thighs a squeeze before he licked her slit from behind, causing her to moan and call out for more. Pushing his tongue into her soaking hole, he fucked it hard. “Reed,” she sighed. Her body was starting to shake, and he could feel her pussy gripping his tongue. His dick getting harder with her building orgasm.  Moving one hand to his cock, Reed started to stroke while he ate Danielle out. Replacing his tongue with his fingers, he began to finger her dripping cunt. “Reed,” she cried out.

Needing to taste her pussy, he returned to sucking on her swollen, protruding nub. Growling as the truck filled with their sex, he continued eating her out while his cock leaked. Pussy throbbing, Danielle shouted, “I’m cumming!” Reed licked up her cum, drinking her in.

“Damn, I missed the taste of your pussy,” he said with a panting groan. “I’m fucking your pussy, Dani, just in case you forgot who you belonged to.” He rose up on his knees, lined up his greedy dick and slid it across her sensitive clit. He felt more of her juices dripping onto his cock. He had enough with the foreplay; it was time to take his wife.

Reed pushed his cock deep into her womb. Once he was seated in her tight pussy, he leaned over to slide his hand to her neck up to her face. He gripped her chin as he pumped roughly and asked, “Did you let anyone touch my pussy? Did you betray our marriage?”

“No, I didn’t,” she moaned as he bit her neck. “Did you?” she returned.

“I’d never betray you, Danielle. I only want your pussy,” he confessed as he started marking her skin, sucking hard, which set her pussy into convulsions. Her pulsing heat took him over the edge again. Reed roared, “Fuck, I’m breeding you, Danielle.” He didn’t stop pumping against her round ass until all of his cum emptied into her womb, coating her walls. Reed secretly hoped he knocked her up. Trailing kisses on his wife’s back, he whispered, “Danielle, I know about your attempt to meet with your lawyer, but I’m not going to let you divorce me. I love you, and I’m not letting you go without a fight.”

~~~~~

Danielle didn’t say a word to his admission. She loved him too but was scared to say it. She understood that he wasn’t like his uncle, but he didn’t come looking for her. He didn’t make an effort. When she didn’t say anything, Reed lifted off her back and pulled out of her pussy.

“Reed…” she muttered but was stopped when he put his hand out.

“Don’t, Danielle. I didn’t tell you I loved you so you could say it back. I just wanted you to know that I’m not going to quit on us,” he said as he tucked himself back into his pants.

She pulled up her panties and jeans feeling Reed’s seed starting to drip onto them. She secretly enjoyed the feel of it, and what it meant. She was his, and it was his way of marking her, but she knew he had already left his mark. He’d bred her in Vegas.

“Let’s get back to the cabin, they’re probably waiting for us.”

“Oh, my goodness. I can’t believe I forgot about them. When we get back, I’m running to my room to change. I can’t let them know what we were doing.” Embarrassment covered her pretty, fucked-flushed face.

“I guess you don’t want to tell them about the marriage then?” Reed inquired. She could tell that he wasn’t happy about it.

“Please, not yet. We can tell them later on, but I want to wait.”

“I don’t know if that’s going to work. Matt and I met in Vegas, and he saw me with the ring on. I claimed it was just to distract the vultures in Vegas. I told all your brothers that I was in love with you before we got to town and that we had sex.”

“You did?” she asked fearfully.

“Yes, I came up here to see you. I wasn’t going to spend the holiday without my wife. I’ve been living a lonely life since Vegas. I missed the fuck out of you,” he said angrily before jumping out the back of the truck and walking to the driver’s side. Climbing back to the front, Danielle was feeling hopeful but had so many questions. “We can talk when we get back, but we’ll pretend that we’re dating at the very least.”

“Okay, Reed,” she whispered. He took her hand in his as he started to drive back to the house, sending jolts of pleasure through her body. She knew he was mad at her but couldn’t stop his feelings, just as she couldn’t.

“Just tell me…did you get rid of your rings?”

“No, I didn’t. They’re in my suitcase. Did you?”

“Danielle, I wasn’t the one who wanted a divorce. It’s in my coat pocket,” he patted his winter coat where his heart was. She subconsciously squeezed his hand. Loving Reed was easy when he was being so damn reasonable. She knew that he was still steaming, but she hoped that once they were alone his anger would fade.

They pulled up to the cabin just as Rose and Spencer entered the house. Reed walked up to her and took her hand in his. Pulling her to him he stopped her movement. “Dani, just so you know, I’m pissed and hurt. I shouldn’t have fucked you before we had a talk, but I needed you so bad, I had to take the edge off. So don’t think you got away with running from me without a word.”

He turned back to the house and marched up the steps with her in tow. They entered the house to a bunch of people eying them both.

“We had to talk,” Reed muttered, then looked at Rose, who was afraid to look at him. He bent down and whispered in Danielle’s ear, “Baby doll, I’ve got to go talk to Rose. Are you going to run?”

“No.” She gave him a sweet smile.

“Good,” he murmured then kissed her before announcing that he was going to go talk to Rose in private.

“Danielle, it seems there was something you were holding out on,” her father said. She didn’t know how her family would react to the relationship and it made her nervous.

Riddled with the fear of their disapproval, she ran from the room and into the nearest bathroom where she lost the contents of her stomach.

~~~~

Hearing her vomit, the family was about to run to the bathroom when her mother let slip the nature of her condition. “Ah, she’s fine. It’s normal for pregnant women to get sick.”

“Pregnant?” A chorus of voices rang out in the room of now angry Kane men.

“Oh, shit! I’ve got to go start the food,” Rachel said, putting her hand to her mouth and trying to make a dash for it. But before she could rush off, Richard grabbed his wife’s wrist stopping her in her tracks.

“My darling wife, it seems you’ve been holding out, too.”

“I promised I wouldn’t say anything. She only just found out. Leave it alone, Richard.” She waved him off as if it wasn’t a big deal.

“Excuse me, but Reed needs to take care of her, and I need to see my Rose,” Spencer said before he left the room.

“Mom, Dad, I think the baby isn’t the only thing they’re hiding. When I saw Reed in Vegas, he had a wedding ring on. He claimed it was something he put on to deter women while he waited to make his move with Dani.”

“You think they got married?” Richard asked his son.

“I’m positive they did. He loves her, Dad. He said it to us right before we ran to get to Rose.”

“Did he know about her being drugged?” Richard angrily asked. His trust was shaky after dealing with Mitch.

“No. When he found out about the drugs, I saw pure rage on his face. He was ready to kill those bastards.”

“Well good, then I won’t have to murder my son-in-law.”

“All of you don’t say anything about it until they bring it up,” Rachel warned her sons and husband.

Just then they watched as a fearful Reed ran toward them and Matt pointed to the bathroom down the hall. He nodded and went to find Danielle, making all the Kanes in the room smile.

“Good boy,” Richard said with a nod toward Reed. “Now, come on, let’s go cook, woman. I’m hungry,” he growled naughtily at his wife and gave her a spank on her ass, grossing Ryan and Matt out.

~~~~

Reed could hear the retching before he got to the door. He was both worried and happy at the same time. He did his job in Vegas. When Spencer came in the room full of anger and told him that Danielle was throwing up, he rushed out of the room to take care of her. He got his wife pregnant. He hid his shit-eating grin when he entered the bathroom.

Bending down, he started to rub her back. “Baby doll, are you okay?”

“I’ll be just fine. You don’t need to be in here.”

“The hell I don’t,” Reed growled. “Whether you like it or not, I’m your husband, and it’s my job to take care of my pregnant wife.”

“It doesn’t gross you out?” He let out a lighthearted chuckle. She wasn’t pushing him away because she didn’t want him involved but because she was afraid he wouldn’t like her after seeing her puke her brains out.

“Danielle, love. Vomit, in general, is gross, but you’re mine to care for. If you think I won’t find you sexy, you’re out of your mind. I’ll find you sexy at eighty.”

“But not at eighty-one?” she teased as she looked up at him with making a goofy face. He loved that she could play with him. It gave him hope.

“Nope, that’s pushing it,” he teased back.

Danielle sat back on her heels before taking a deep breath and getting up on her feet. Reed assisted her, then got her a glass of water. “I guess that’s fair,” she smiled up at him after gargling with the water. Reed wanted to kiss her when she smiled at him, but she had just started rinsing with mouthwash. He’d get her, though.

She fixed her blouse and looked at herself in the mirror, trying to tame her stray hairs that escaped her ponytail. He stood behind her and shook his head before pulling out the ponytail. She was about to snap on him, but he slid his hands into her hair and began to massage her scalp.

“Reed, are you always this wonderful or is this the honeymoon phase?” she sighed with curiosity.

“I want our honeymoon phase to last a lifetime. I guess I’m always going to be this wonderful, but I’m sure you’ll have moments when you don’t think so.”

“Oh, that I can be sure of,” she said with a half serious scowl.

“Oh, you can be sure of that? Let me see how I can make myself wonderful again.” He lifted her up and pinned her to the bathroom door, wrapping her legs around his waist and taking her lips. Forgetting that they had others waiting for them, he rubbed his constant erection on her pussy. She moaned, causing Reed to remember that her family was in the other room. Adjusting themselves to look as normal as possible, they walked out of the bathroom, beaming after sharing that passionate kiss.

Reed wanted her to let him tell the world that they were married, but he would wait until the time was right. Since they all knew the truth, Matt, Ryan and her parents fooled no one when Danielle told them she was pregnant and he was the father. He caught dirty looks from her father all night and knew that it wasn’t all square with him yet, but Richard loved his family too much to ruin Christmas. Dinner went as smoothly—much better than he had expected. He joined the Kane men in their usual ritual of doing the dishes.

“Mr. Kane, may I have a word with you?”

“Look Reed, I don’t want to know how my daughter got pregnant, so let’s cut to the chase. Keep her happy and I’ll let you live. Hurt my little girl and I’ll forget how civilized I’ve become.”

“I have loved her for over three months now. I’d never do anything to hurt her.” Reed wasn’t afraid to admit his feelings for her.

“Good boy. So, I’d say you should marry my daughter, but I have a feeling I’m a little late on that.” Reed just nodded at his father-in-law. “Just so you know…my wife isn’t going to let you get away with that shoddy wedding. So be prepared.”

He took the warning with a smile. He wanted their approval and seemed to have gotten it, even if it wasn’t an enthusiastic welcome to the family. Reed moved to help Ryan dry the dishes and felt like part of the family.

Before he left the room, he stopped Matt to talk privately. “Hey, Matt. How are you doing?”

“I’m fine. Why?”

Reed gave his brother-in-law a knowing look. “You know why. Just yesterday you wanted Rose, but today I see her with Spencer and their engaged.”

“Tell me about it, it was a big blow, but I snoozed, it seems. They fell hard for each other. Well, you know his problem, with her it’s all better. I told him to keep her happy or I would,” Matt said with a shrug before he walked out of the kitchen.

~~~~

After dinner had been cleaned up, he took his wife home. They had a lot to talk about, and he needed to ease his aching cock. He worried about how all the excitement of today wore on her. “How are you feeling, baby doll?” Reed asked Danielle as they drove back to their place. He held her hand in his, kissing it before resting it on his thigh.

“I’m fine. A bit full right now.”

He glanced at her. “You’re going to be full all night.” Reed chuckled, giving her a smirk before turning his eyes back to the road.

“How is it that manage to make a simple response dirty?”

“Dani, I’m married to a sexy woman. Getting you naked is at the top of my list all of the time.”

She blushed and needed to make conversation, so Danielle asked, “So do you live here all the time?”

“I work all over so I travel a lot, but I have my main office in Boston.” He had plans to change that all for her. It was just a matter of what she cared to do. Becoming a mother was going to change her life and what she had planned. He hoped she was going to be happy just being a mother because he wasn’t going to let her work again. There was no need for money, and he didn’t like that she worked with men.

“So where are we going to live?”

“That’s really up to you. Your parents live in Boston, and I work there. It’s the best place for us to live. We can buy a new place and make it our own.”

“I’d like that.”
