Kacie's Surrender (Homeward Bound Book 1) Read online

  Over the last few months Jeff has stepped up to being a father, with the help from Stasia. Neither one of them left my side I wasn’t allowed to do anything without either one of them beside me. All I was allowed to do was sit. I had to beg Jeff to bring me here today so I could see the outcome of everything. I felt like running away I needed a breather from them two. Jeff made sure the last of everything was taken care of I still wanted to be a part of everything

  Sitting in the bed thinking of Nathan (yes I know I had it bad) and rubbing my little belly. I wanted to know how Nathan would react once he found out I was pregnant. Would he be mad? Would he not believe me?” Would he tell his wife? Would he want anything to do due with our baby? So many things went through my head and had me worrying because even though we did not plan this. The bottom line was I still got pregnant by a married man. And just the thought had me crying, I was so emotional since I got pregnant.

  “Kacie are you ok” I didn’t even hear Stasia come in.

  “Yes, no I don’t know I’m a home wrecker why can’t I find a man of my own” With that I cried even harder.

  “Kace baby it’s going to be OK honey I’m here for you and so is Jeff”

  “But how is Nathan going to feel he’s a cheater I’m a home wrecker?”

  “Kacie stop crying you’re going to make your stomach upset”

  Stasia was right but it still hurt none the less. I messed up everything. I came back to build a house and messed up a marriage. What’s wrong with me? After crying myself to sleep and having Stasia pretty much rub me to sleep. Waking up to somebody rubbing my stomach.

  “Really Jeff you couldn’t let me sleep you had to wake me up by rubbing on me” I asked with me eyes still closed. But I felt the hand rubbing me stop and his hand heated I kind of knew it wasn’t Jeff. Jeff could never keep his hands off my little baby bump. I thought it was him because he was the only one that would do that. But from the tense hand on my belly something burning deep inside me I knew it wasn’t Jeff. Did I dare open my eyes, not really but deep down I knew who it was. Nathan.

  Opening them slowly I see him standing over me. And the look he gave me spoke volumes. I had no idea what his beef was with Jeff but I didn’t want to find out.

  “What are you doing here where is Stasia”

  “She left to give us some time to talk”

  “Why would she do that I have nothing to talk to you about”

  “Are you sure because your belly says otherwise”

  Looking down at my baby bump and realizing that by that it was time to have the talk with him about what’s going on. This wasn’t how I planned to tell him but the sooner I got this over with the sooner I could move on with my life. I was ready to get home.

  “Kacie I have one question is that baby mine?”

  The nerve of him. Jack ass I was in my right mind to tell home no but that wasn’t who I was. I knew that Nana wouldn’t be proud of me for lying either. So I set up and squared my shoulders. Looked him dead in the face and said.

  “Yes Nathan it is”

  Chapter Sixteen

  After being gone over almost three months I couldn’t wait to get back home. I missed Kacie like crazy and needed to see her. I just hope I wasn’t too late. I knew that Jeff was there but I just hope Kacie waited on me.

  It took longer than I planned to be in Alaska. What I thought would be a couple days a week tops. Was almost three months. They couldn’t work in the snow then once it stopped snowing it was too cold to work. They didn’t finish fixing it but I made sure everything was in order before I jumped on my Jet and headed home. I knew Colin would contract me if he needed anything I just hope he didn’t.

  From the air port I headed straight to Stasia house where Kacie has been staying since she has been back. Only thing I knew Jeff was in town I just hoped he won’t be there when I got there.

  Once I was there Stasia told me that Kacie was asleep and we needed to talk. She left after that and told me to call her if Kacie flipped out on me. I wasn’t going to be calling her because I could handle anything Kacie threw my way. But why would she flip out on me I knew I left without telling her or contacting her but what chose did I really have in the matter. Heading to the room I knew that Kacie would be in. Standing over her sleeping form she was the most beautiful women ever when she slept. I could watch her for days.

  Noticing that the cover was puffed up, not paying much attention I just thought she had a pillow there. That was until she turned on her side and her shirt came up after she kicked the cover off. I had to do a double take. She was pregnant. My first instincts was pissed because that means that Jeff got her pregnant and that pissed me off to no return. Here I was couldn’t wait to get back to her and she was sleeping with Jeff this whole time. So much for her waiting on me.

  I started to walk out until I heard her talking in her sleep. She was saying something but all I caught was my name and that froze me in my steps. Something had me turning back around and sitting on the bed. I have never wanted to touch a pregnant women’s stomach until I saw Kacie’s. She was so tiny and at that moment I knew that no matter what happen I was going to have Kacie and be the father to her baby. Even though it wasn’t mines. Rubbing her as gentle as I could. She moved a little but settled back into a deep sleep. I have no clue how long I set there and rubbed her belly but I could do this for hours. Until she started talking in her sleep again this time it sounded like she was up because I made out every word she said and that pissed me off. Stopping my hand from moving.

  “Really Jeff you couldn’t let me sleep you had to wake me up by rubbing on me” All I saw was red she was talking about Jeff while I rubbed her stomach. I knew she was asleep or at least I thought she was. It still gave her no right to be talking about him. It took her a minute to open her eyes but the look I gave her was deadly.

  “What are you doing here where is Stasia”

  “She left to give us some time to talk”

  “Why would she do that I have nothing to talk to you about”

  “Are you sure because your belly says otherwise”

  ****

  Looking down at his hand still on my belly there was no way I could hide it the cat was out the bag. I did plan to tell him but not this way. Maybe when I had the baby.

  “Kacie I have one question is that baby mine?”

  “Yes Nathan it is” I couldn’t move, did I hear her right that was my baby. I wanted to scream it at the top of my lungs that Kacie was carrying my baby. I couldn’t believe my ears. This wasn’t how I planned for this to happen but this was even better. So her and Jeff wasn’t as serious as I thought. Hearing that the baby was mine put me in over drive.

  “Get up and get dressed”

  “Why where are we going” She asked jumping up out of bed. I knew nothing about a pregnant women but I highly doubt that she was suppose to be jumping up like she just did. I wasn’t about to tell her where we were going I just needed her to do what I asked. Stepping closer to her I looked her in the eyes and told her again.

  “Kacie I’m not a man that likes to repeat himself, so I’m not going to say it again I’ll be outside waiting for you if you’re not ready in five minutes make no mistake that I will pick you up and carry you out your choice but either way your leaving” With that I turned to leave and she just stood there.

  “Your now down to four”

  “You can’t do that to me”

  “You’re talking instead of getting dressed”

  “You wouldn’t dare, I’m not going with you”

  “Ok have it your way” Stepping to her in one long stride she eyed me up and down. She had a defined look in her eyes like she knew I wouldn’t. But the great thing about me is never underestimate a man on a mission. Picking her carefully not to press into her stomach I lifted her up in my arms and carried her out. It took awhile before it sunk in that I was carrying her out before she started yelling at me.

  “Nathan you asswhole put me down right now you ca
n’t do this to me let me go” I feared she would hurt my baby so I almost put her down almost. But if I did she might run and I refused to let her put my child in danger. Tapping her lightly on that round ass of hers.

  “Kacie you doing all that wiggling is making my cock hard. That got her to stop. Walking out the door Stasia was just pulling in, as soon as she parked and got out she asked.

  “Why are you holding Kacie like that?”

  “Well she thought I was playing when I told her to get dressed and since she didn’t want to, so we resort to me carrying her”

  “Stasia tell him to put me down”

  “Kacie baby you always were stubbing”

  “Oh my gosh Stasia your just going to let him take me”

  “As long as he didn’t hurt my niece or nephew then yes I will”

  “Stasia you have my word nothing will happen to my baby”

  “Well Kacie you’re on your own sugar”

  “If Jeff was here he wouldn’t let you take me Nathan put me down dammit” Hearing Jeff’s name pissed me off he would never be anywhere near Kacie or my baby. Once I had her in my car and buckled her in because she refused that as well. We headed in the direction of my condo, I wasn’t about to allow Kacie out of my sight she was moving in one way or another.

  It wasn’t movie- in ready for her and the baby but I was damn sure going to make it that way. I know that she was finish with our house but it wasn’t move-in ready. We needed furniture and I planned to take care of that once I could.

  The ride there was quiet she stared out the window the whole time not sparing me one glance. I guess she was mad but I love to piss people off. And the mire thought that she was poking her lips out increased the pressure in my pants.

  Pulling up to my space in the underground parking lot I turned her face to me but she refused to look. I love the feisty Kacie but the mad Kacie was even better.

  “Let’s go Kacie” She sat there for a minute before she pushed my hand out the way to climb out my car.

  Which I needed something more bigger for our baby once he or she arrived. Just like the drive over on the elevator it was tha same thing she said nothing to me.

  “Kacie I have to get back to the office for a while make yourself comfortable” Once we got to my condo.

  “I’m not staying once you’re gone I’m leaving”

  “You’re so cute when you’re mad but you won’t be leaving” With that I turned to leave. Once back down I took the key for the elevator so she had no other way to leave. There was a secret stairway in my condo but I was smart enough not to let Kacie know about it.

  I called Rosalinda about Kacie being in the house and to make sure she didn’t leave or nobody was allowed up until I got back. I gave her strict orders to make sure Kacie had everything she needed and was comfortable. Of course Rosalinda was shocked to know that a woman was in my condo nobody was allowed there but Bryce.

  Chapter Seventeen

  I couldn’t believe this shit I was stuck in Nathan’s apartment. Yes I did try to leave but the elevator wouldn’t come up. The bastard took the damn key. And yes I did try looking around for another way out but since he owned the whole top part of the building, there was no other way. Rosalinda his house keeper told me that he forbid her to let me leave. I was pissed at her at first but then if that was my boss I wouldn’t disobey him either.

  So here I am stuck in the guestroom. It was beautiful everything was white the California king bed with the plush blanket white carpet that was soft to the touch. The room was beautiful but I didn’t plan to stay once he returned.

  Standing at the window looking out at the place I grew up at seeing how much has changed and rubbing my little belly. It was just us two well plus Jeff and Stasia. Part of me wanted Nathan to be there the rest of my pregnancy but I highly doubted it. I also wondered if he as keeping me here to hide me and my baby. If that was the case he had another thing coming. I wanted to call Stasia but once she saw Nathan take me she did nothing. So the chances of me calling her now to save me were slim to none.

  Nathan had no clue just how much I loved him and wanted to be with him. But one thing still remained he was married. Was the goal to hide us, or pretend that it wasn’t real? I mean here I am three months along how did he plan on hiding us. I hope he didn’t plan on me moving back because that was far out of the question. I had my company and my own place there was no way I was giving that up.

  Waking up with arms around me, thinking it was Jeff until I seen the color, Jeff wasn’t pale. That could only mean one person Nathan. I was afraid to turn around, why was he in my bed well his bed holding me. As much as I wanted to stay there but this was wrong what if his wife walked in on us. Jumping up and fast making my heart race, this isn’t good.

  “Kacie baby what’s wrong” Jumping out the bed as fast as I did and coming around to me. He went to touch my belly but I pushed him away.

  “Don’t touch me” I know I was freaking out but here I was with a married man about to have his child and his wife or kids didn’t know anything about us. I started to pace the floor. I was freaking out this wasn’t happing to me. What am I doing I needed to leave this penthouse and Nathan behind. I can’t do this. Finally Nathan grabbed me to him I tried to break free but he wouldn’t let me go.

  “Kacie clam down before you hurt yourself and my baby” For some reason that set me off hearing him say his baby. I should be glad but I wasn’t truth was I was in an emotional state and everything set me off. Feeling him ease up some I pushed off and went in on him.

  “How could you say that your baby, what about your other kids and wife, huh what will they think when you tell them or do you plan on hiding us huh what’s wrong with you I have loved you all my life and then we sleep together and get pregnant I mean come on Nathan what is wrong with you. Noticing that he wasn’t even cutting me off or saying anything pissed me off more. I mean he didn’t deny anything that I said. I turned to see him trying to hide his smile. To say I was pissed was the understatement of the year. What an ass whole.

  “What’s so fucking funny Nathan?”

  “You”

  “What the hell did I say that was funny, what your wife and kids your nothing but a cheat and lair” That seemed to piss him off because he had a blank stare on his face. Good now,I guess I hit my market. Jack ass

  He slowly walked toward me and I wanted to back up but I would never show him the coward he wanted me to show. Never going to happen Nathan Wright.

  “Oh Kacie I love the brave face you have going on you look sexy when you’re mad, Its turning me on but I’ll get back to that in a minute, Kacie everything you said is wrong except for my baby and I mean you are carrying my baby Kacie and with that being said I think you should clam down before something happens to my baby ”

  I wanted to scream but I knew he was right I had to think of my baby. How could he have such an hold on me. Did he say that nothing I said was true what did that even mean?

  “What do you mean what I said was a lie Nathan”

  “Like I said it’s not true”

  “But you had me building a house for your family”

  “Yes,I needed a house for a wife and kids”

  “But you don’t have one Nathan, are you planning on starting one soon”

  “I already started one”

  “You can’t be serious with whom?”

  How did he start a family already were the women and baby. Then it hit me like a ton of bricks. Oh hell no I know he’s not talking about me that’s not possible right” Looking at him with a huge grin on his face told me all I needed to know he was talking about me.

  “Yes Kacie I planned on starting a family with you”

  “You can’t be serious Nathan, I mean come on”

  “I am Kacie I want you to move in so I can be there for you and my baby

  “Nathan you can’t do that I mean it’s great that you want us to live with you but that’s not possible I have my company and Jeff I can�
��t just leave him” Once again saying Jeff’s name had Nathans eyes turning dark. But I could care less Jeff was a part of my babies life weather he liked it or not.

  “Kacie I’m going to say this one time like I told you I don’t like to repeat myself whatever you have with Jeff ends now I will not allow another man to be a part of my baby’s life.”

  The nerve of him to tell me who could and couldn’t be around my baby once I’m back home he won’t have any way to know who’s around our baby, but he didn’t need to know that.

  “Fine Nathan whatever you say”

  With that he walked out the room. I needed to get out of his house and make sure everything was completed so I could return home. So I could get back home. I needed to talk to Dan.

  Chapter Eighteen

  That was too easy she agreeing to keep Jeff away from our baby she clearly has no idea what type of man I am when I say something that’s what I mean. And Kacie was about to find out what I really am like. I had to deal with Kacie later I had other matters to deal with like my parents.

  Walking up the grand stair case to my child hood home always made me feel some way. Growing up here to an alcoholic mother and a cheat for a father who believed that this was his kingdom and he was ruler. I hated that my mother stayed with him I guess that’s why she became an alcoholic. Opening up the door to my own personal hell.

  “Oh Nathan darling what brings you by”

  “Hi to you to mom, I needed to talk to dad and you is he home’

  “Oh you know your father he’s in his study” Oh yes his study when he was home he was in there he lived breathed and worked there.

  “Ok I’ll go get him and meet you in the living room.

  ”Ok darling”

  She said walking back in the kitchen no doubt getting something to drink. One thing about my mom is she will be here but not really be here.
