Forever in my Heart: Book 3 in My Heart Series Page 9

  I love you to the moon and back xx

  Kade:

  Hey, sexy lady, be patient, you will have your own business one day too and it will be the best in the business. Just you wait.

  I love you to infinity and beyond (Buzz Light-Year to the rescue!)

  My smile beams, getting broader the more I think of Kade’s words. I giggle at his dorky comment about Buzz Light-Year, no wonder he is good with Crystal since he’s still child-like sometimes.

  But that is what makes him unique and special. I even love the silly and inane bonehead comments.

  I see that I have missed a text from Jeremy. Shoot.

  Hey Sis, can I call you if you aren’t too busy at work?

  Work is so quiet lately. I would love you forever if you called me.

  A few minutes later my phone rings.

  “Roxy you won’t bloody believe it Sis, The Electric Beat has just been booked for an Australia tour, six states, and roughly four shows in each state! How awesome is that?” he screams excitedly into the phone.

  “Oh, Jeremy that’s fantastic! Well done, bro, to you and the guys, you will be touring your very own home turf, it’s phenomenal!” I know just how much it means to him, it’s been a dream of his to travel around Australia and show off his group.

  “I am stoked Rox, more than anything it’s about showcasing our songs in our home country.”

  “I know Jez, you always dreamed big. You reached for the stars, brother, and you will be holding them in your hands very soon,” I state feeling ecstatic for him.

  “Words can’t express just how proud of you I am, seriously,” I add as the tears well up in my eyes and I feel a lump in my throat, they are happy tears of course.

  “Oh Rox, I couldn’t have done any of it without your support all of these years Sis. You were always in the front row, singing along and cheering at my concerts. That was the boost my confidence needed,” he declares making me feel like I have succeeded as a sister.

  “I always believed in you, Jez. You had the talent, you just needed to get it noticed and for the world to see it. Now look at how far you have come.”

  “Travelling around the U.S. was amazing, but this Australian tour is what life is all about. This right here is the reason I started singing, playing guitar and trying to sing like Jimmy Barnes. He is an idol that I always strived to be like.”

  “I’m so happy for you bro, tell the guys congrats!” I proclaim enthusiastically.

  “If only we all had the same awesome news,” I confess to him, as today was a really crappy day. The whole fucking Stacey possibly being pregnant with Kade’s baby is ripping at me.

  “What’s up Rox, you know you can talk to me,” my sweet, caring bro questions.

  “Oh you know, today there was the client from Hell, then of course the fact that Kade might be the Father of Stacey’s unborn child,” I blurt out all the dramas of my life.

  “Just keep swimming Rox, it will all work out Sis. Kade loves you and only you and tell your client to get laid, that might lighten her up a little.” I can’t help but laugh. Yuck, Rosemary is possibly a nun from her outfits and prim and proper emails.

  “Thanks, Jeremy; I am becoming a stronger swimmer, that’s for sure.” I know he’s right, I can never give up, and I’ve just got to keep swimming.

  I knew I shouldn’t have replied back to Rosemary’s email request today, if I had have left it until tomorrow it would have been better for my sombre and low mood.

  She wants to change colours again!

  Honestly if this was my company, I wouldn’t put up with it. Rosemary has asked me to change her design eight fucking times. Five is usually our limit, but Neeta extended it, God knows why...

  So the red, grey, and white have now been changed to crimson, charcoal and cream. She is the fussiest client I’ve had in four years! Red is red, grey is grey!

  Understandably I find myself feeling flat the rest of the afternoon. I mean everyone’s dreams are becoming a reality; Kade has his surf school and not to mention winning the world cup of surfing.

  Jeremy has made it big worldwide and now has an Australian tour, plus he turned his life around. Jemma is getting married, who would have thought she would be the first one to the aisle? Emma and Pete have Crystal; it’s all falling into place for everyone but me...

  Things like this have never bothered me before; I am so ecstatic for my family and friends, I just kind of feel like maybe it’s my turn to go after my dream. The first step is believing in yourself. I am a determined, strong, and dedicated woman. Look out world here I come.

  I take the initiative and spend the next thirty minutes looking at how to start up a business, what is involved, the fees, etc. Then I find myself looking real estates for office spaces to rent. There are four places I would be interested in a few different suburbs.

  Then after I realise finish time is only in one hour, I actually do my job, finish my design, file some paperwork and chat with Neeta about next week’s workload.

  Once I get my head wrapped around running my own studio, I will talk to her and fill her in. She has to know that I am feeling weighted down and need to spread my wings.

  When I get home, I grab a bottle of water and chill on the lounge, making a few notes on my notepad, about colour schemes and clientele.

  “Oh, here she is, my beautiful Foxy, hello angel,” I say sweetly to my kitty.

  She jumps up and lies on my chest, digging her nails in gently and purring loudly.

  Foxy really is a sweet kitty, she loves to snuggle but is not overbearing; much like me.

  Her soft grey-blue fur doesn’t shed too much, it’s soft and relaxing to pat her, and she comforts me when I’ve had a crappy day or Kade is surfing.

  Speak of the sexy devil, the front door opens and Kade enters looking devilishly handsome with freshly wet hair. I find myself licking my bottom lip at his smoking hot appearance.

  “Hi baby,” he remarks as he walks in placing his sports bag on the floor, then heads over to the lounge.

  “Hey you,” I respond feeling suddenly twenty degrees hotter. He leans in to kiss my lips. His taste is salty and crisp and as his hand embraces my neck I feel goose bumps on my skin and I shudder, feeling slightly turned on.

  “Mmm,” I moan from the heated kiss and his roaming hands.

  “Well, shit Rox, you want me bad don’t you baby?” He pulls back and looks into my eyes, his own amber coloured irises burning with the want that I feel.

  A small smile escapes my lips and my breathing hitches as I nod at the sexy man in front of me. I place Foxy on the floor and wrap my arms around Kade’s neck showing him just how badly I want him. I pull his lips desperately to mine, where I kiss him deeply and entwine my tongue with his, tugging on his hair and digging my nails into his scalp.

  He climbs on top of me and pushes his knee into my groin massaging my throbbing core. I kiss him harder and suck gently on his tongue. “Mmm,” he moans in pleasure, as he pulls back to gaze into my eyes.

  “This sure is some greeting Rox, now get naked so I can thank you properly baby,” he exclaims making me giggle as I start to lift my top over my head. He is desperate as I feel his hand on my breast rubbing it through my bra, my nipple getting harder from his touch. I undo it and he rips my bra off exposing my bouncing boobs.

  “These are a sight, I love your breasts Rox, this one” he says as he sucks on my left one, then swirls his tongue around, then bites ever so gently making me moan. “And this one,” he adds now licking and teasing my right breast, making my core wetter.

  “I love them in your mouth Kade.” His lips hastily return to mine and his hands massage my nipples. I reach my hand under his shirt to rub along his smooth chest, it is so toned and carved before I run my nails down his back and squeeze his hard arse.

  He casually sits up and pulls down my work skirt, revealing my black G-string, and a tiny patch of bikini line that is growing back, he teases me along the edge of my underwear, up and down, t
hen with one swift movement he has disregarded them to the floor.

  “Fuck this is hot, you look so delicious. I am going to lick and suck this pussy of yours dry he states to me looking into my eyes and smirking.

  “Yes, please, Kade,” I reply so turned on right now and in desperate need of his fingers or mouth on me.

  He circles his finger around already wet and swollen my core. He pushes one finger inside and then he pulls my legs around his shoulders and within a second his mouth is on me, as his tongue dives into my opening, flicking in and out. He lightly bites my folds, then his finger is massaging my clit.

  “Oh, fuck baby, that is so damn amazing,” I confess to him through my laboured breathing. I know my orgasm will be fast and hard, well my first one anyway.

  He flicks his tongue inside faster and then circles it around as he massages my clit with such speed and expertise. My release hits and it is massive. I start to shake, exploding as my orgasm releases causing my excitement to drip while Kade continues his onslaught drinking me dry like he said that he would.

  “Whoa baby, that was hot,” I tell him as he rises and removes his shirt and boardies, leaving me to come down from the ecstasy he caused. My legs are still wide open and my core is throbbing as he rubs his beautiful cock and gazes at me like he is going to attack.

  “I want you so bad Rox, this,” he states as he rubs his cock from top to bottom, “wants to be inside your wet pussy more than ever before. Knowing just how good it tastes has me harder than concrete baby. Are you ready?” he asks me with animalistic lust in his eyes, his desire for me has me craving him more than oxygen.

  “Put it in, I am thirsty for your cock, Kade,” I reply with honest words that make him grin. He angles my legs upwards, and then with carnal want he pushes his cock inside my dripping core, hard and fast. It was made for me, I am sure of it. This feeling right here is pure bliss.

  “Yes,” I moan as he pushes his thickness in so it’s buried deep within my folds.

  “You are so drenched Rox. It’s so hot knowing I made you soaking wet baby.” He increases his speed with enthusiasm, his rhythm is electric and I can feel my insides tingle, another release on its way.

  “I’m coming baby, I’m coming,” I moan so aroused and pulsating from my impending orgasm. I shake and tremble as waves of ecstasy leads to me convulse and cover Kade with my release.

  “Oh Roxy, I love you baby. I’m coming too,” he moans as he grips my hair and kisses me with fervour and passion as he thrusts like mad, racing and vibrating as his cock releases inside me.

  He lets out a large exhale of breath and places his forehead on mine. Skin to skin we stay this way for ten minutes; no words needed.

  This is love in its purest form. Both still high from our releases and high from the euphoria being so in love brings.

  Chapter 11

  Four is a Crowd

  Kade

  I’ve finally been given the all clear for my knee. I was taking it easy during my lessons and on Coach’s instructions; I am back into training three times a week, slowly testing out the knee with more endurance and weight training. Thank fuck for that; I was sick of television and magazines.

  First session back, I feel a little unfit and out of breath because my fitness levels have dropped while being stationary for the last four months. No cardio and only walking is boring to an athlete who is used to full throttle workouts. Go hard or go home—that’s my motto.

  After the third week, I’m feeling my stamina increase and I’m not so out of breath when I do cardio. It didn’t take as long as I thought, but to get back to champion level will be a different story.

  As fucking promised, Stacey has been in contact with me. She turned up unannounced when I was still finishing with a client, wearing a slutty red dress. Is this bird for real?

  “You can’t keep turning up at my work Stacey, my business has a name to uphold,” I remark to her and kind of regret the comment afterwards.

  Whoops, but it’s true, her slutty image could be bad for my family orientated surfing business.

  “What the fuck does that mean? How could I wreck your business name?” she questions rudely a little taken aback by my comment.

  “It came out wrong, sorry. I just meant for you to stop turning up unannounced,” I say to try and cover my rude comment.

  “If you give me your number and text me instead of showing up at my business, then we can meet up somewhere. I also think Roxy and your partner should be around during our visits, as it is affecting the four of us,” I bombard her with my orders, but this is more like a business partnership in my eyes. She holds no emotional value to me whatsoever and I can’t see that changing in the near future.

  “Whatever, but I am here now, so can we talk?” She’s probably overwhelmed by my demands, but it had to be said.

  “Yep, you can do the talking while I load the van,” I state calmly, hoping she makes it short and sweet.

  “Okay, I have an ultrasound booked for next Friday at eleven-thirty. I will be thirteen weeks, they can’t tell the sex yet, but they check the heartbeat and for abnormalities. I thought you might want to be there.” I have thought about it and I guess I would want to be there, but I will talk to Roxy before I say definitely yes.

  “I’ll let you know if I’m coming by Wednesday. I need to discuss it with Roxy, of course,” I point out to her and the look on her face is fucking priceless.

  “Are you kidding? This is your baby you get to listen to the heartbeat and see it moving around and you need to ask your little girlfriend’s permission? Jesus, she has got you under the thumb, grow a backbone, Kade,” she proclaims to me with displeasure of my comment. Way to go bitch, now you have infuriated me pretty much every time I have ever had contact with you.

  “Who do you think you are, Stacey? I don’t need you to tell me what the right thing to do here is. The fact of the fucking situation is that we had sex, which I regret massively, you got pregnant, and if that baby is mine, I will be supportive one hundred percent. But I’ll be supportive of my baby, Stacey, not of you. Roxy is my main priority and always will be, so next time you say a bad word about her, I will cut all ties with you, whether the baby is mine or not, got it?” I glower at her feeling rage and fury at this miserable excuse for a woman.

  “Well, it sounds like he told you,” I hear Roxy’s unmistakable voice as she walks up from behind the van. I’m shocked and yet pleased to see her and even more so that she heard our conversation.

  “Oh, how sweet, the little girlfriend has come to hold your hand,” Stacey says with her unpleasant voice that may give me nightmares.

  “That’s right, I will be holding his hand no matter what, so why don’t you run off and find a pathetic victim that might want to hold yours,” Roxy exclaims to her as I wrap my arm around her.

  “I will let you know Wednesday, Stacey, like I said,” I tell her callously. I honestly wouldn’t be so mean if she was easy-going and chilled out, but she is infuriating.

  “Whatever. Ryan will be there, I am sure he won’t mind not having you there. I’ll be sure to mail you a pic as a keepsake,” she retorts and is gone. I am sure she has a broomstick somewhere.

  “Hey you, what a surprise. Sorry, she is a bit of a nightmare,” I say sweetly to Roxy, now feeling uneasy about another messed up Stacey visit.

  “Yeah, that was messed up, but I’m glad I heard it. You are amazing with the way you stuck up for me, Kade. I have no doubt in my mind about you. Thank you for sticking it to skank face for me.” I did it without even thinking, isn’t that the way every guy should be with their girl? No one talks shit about Roxy.

  After chatting with Roxy, Dad, and even Pete, I contact Stacey and agree to meet for the ultrasound. I have decided to try and take it all with a grain of salt, and it’s still not determined whose baby she is carrying, so until we get the results of the paternity test, I won’t be sentimental or emotional when I see the baby on the screen.

  Well, that’s the pla
n anyway...

  I drive hastily to pick Roxy up from work and have Subway waiting for her. She told her boss Neeta we are meeting a real estate agent about a house, so she gets an hour and a half for lunch.

  “Sorry we are wasting your lunch break doing this, Rox.” I feel bad for taking up her break, especially for something like this, but I really want her there and she wants to be there with me too. “You know how much I appreciate you coming right?” I announce to her as I squeeze her leg lovingly.

  “I wouldn’t let you go alone, we are a couple and in this together, baby,” she replies smiling, and it makes me feel honoured to have her in my life.

  We park the Ute and head into Level 2, Ultrascan, where we see Stacey sitting playing on her phone. What is she like nineteen? I find myself wondering how the hell she will deal with the baby when it’s born.

  Shit, I know the guy sitting next to her.

  “That is the Ryan that Stacey keeps talking about?” I say to Roxy when I realise that Stacey’s fucking boyfriend is none other than champion boxer, Ryan ‘The Rock’ Hale.

  “Why, do you know him?” she questions, so I fill her in on his fights and title shots. He is a machine in the ring and a bit of a dirty fighter, so it’s no wonder that Stacey would choose someone like him.

  Stacey sees us and smiles widely as we head over. “Ryan, this is Kade,” she introduces us. What a fucking awkward meeting, possible baby’s father number one meet possible baby’s father number two.

  Christ.

  “Hey, man,” I say trying to at least be civil and mature about it all.

  “Hey, Kade, congrats on the world title.” I figure he did his homework and knew who I was before coming here.

  “Oh thanks, you are doing well in the tournaments from what I’ve seen on the TV,” I state to him. Really, I think we are both avoiding the situation at hand.

  We are standing in the hallway when a nurse in a white coat comes out and calls Stacey’s name, “Miss Stacey Walker.” Thank God for the welcomed distraction.

  We nervously follow her into a small, darkened room, where there are numerous types of machines set up, obviously one is for the ultrasound. This is all a little surreal.
