Valiant's POV My body had started to ache while laying on the cot, the mattress was unbearably thin causing my body weight to sink into the sharp metal coils. I laid there exhausted from fear and lack of patience waiting to be discovered as missing and rescued by the man who currently resented me. In my head and before my eyes that were closed, I cursed Roman in my head. He was the reason I was caught up with Lettie in the first place. She was the one he cheated on me with right before he discharged the army. She was the other woman. I was incredibly incensed and outrageously pissed off at the whole scandal. They literally made my sins look like white out and plain printer paper. This crazy bịtch was the bain of my existence and my dislike for her was turning into hatred. The kind of hatred that would cause a person to go Norman Bates, functional and psycho all in one slaying. Lettie's only goal in life was to annoy the hell out of me until I banged my head on the pavement in a
Reece's POV Dad had taken me and the guys out to the cabin in the hills to hunt but little did I know it was also for an intervention. I guess they'd grown tired of my stubborn ways in not forgiving Val. This girl had hurt me more than anyone I've ever met in my life. I loved her and was proving to her that I could and would protect, provide and love her and our son. Yeah, granted I had left some very big important things out concerning who I was and some of the covert missions I had to complete but I know she would never understand or go for a guy like me. I had been told that I was good looking and desired by many women but I could care less. Shockingly to many, I wasn't the sleep around type. My parents taught me to respect myself and to respect anyone I was interested in. They had married young and had me young so I always wanted marriage and children. Besides that, my familial heritage was really wealthy. I was careful not let it slip and amass a groupie or goldigging fiasco
Valiant's POV Drifting off to sleep I silently prayed for God to reunite me with my baby. I missed him, his smell, his smile and his father's eyes. Regal. His name came when I first saw him and he gazed at me after an emergency c-section. He looked like an heir, spitting image of his handsome daddy. I had just found out two of Reece's biggest secrets and the stress of it all sent me into early labor. "Our little prince." I cooed to my son and he stared into my eyes and for a moment I felt his power. The blood of a warrior, mind of a mogul and aura of kingship. I could see his eyes searching while his brain worked to register my face and I'm sure his heart knew me as mother. "Regal?" I asked him. He made a cute face and began rooting with his lips. I placed him on the teat closest to him and he began drawing out from me. "Regal?" He stopped and stared again. "Your name is Regal Vincent Shields. Your father is Reece Dietrich Shields and I am your mother, Valiant Desiree William
Valiant's POV And the arguments continued. This time, I was being rightfully accused about having my feelings mixed up for another man who just so happened to be a very close and trusted friend. Dinner was ate in silence. We cleaned in silence. We battled the silence. I spoke first winning the stand off. "Roman, is everything okay?" "I don't know. You tell me. You and Reece are close. Do you want him? I know he'd never cross the line with you." I stared at the pattern of twisted and coiled fabrics of the carpet on the floor mapping whatever was in my head. "I trust him. He's saved my life more than once. But you...all the guys love you. They protect you." His lamentations were straining to make sense to him and to me. "Roman, it's nothing like that. It's harder for me to be as open with you because I've been intimate with you and now that you know everything I feel dirty somehow." Time to come clean. Almost. "I feel like your touches and your aggression will put me in a more
Author's POV The two of them stood looking at each other in shock. Not expecting to have to met like this. Again, her needing his help. The stare down was intense and neither one of them seemed to have known what to do. It'd been far too long that they'd hugged or kissed but they loved and desired each other all the same as the first time they acknowledged their true feelings. Valiant's eyes went watery and trails of tears raced down her cheeks, stinging the tracks of scratches and hung dangerously on her chin threatening to stain anything on the fall down. Reece's jaws tensed as he took in her bruised and battered state. "Baby. I'm sorry." His words were trapped and barely emitted from his throat as he went down to his knees. He held his hands out to her. "I'm sorry I didn't protect you, I'm sorry I spent all these months being upset with you. I'm sorry I kept the worse secrets. Please come to me." Val sobbed in silence as she looked at her brave prince. She'd seen him down l
Author's POV 3 Weeks Later Leaving Dylan's office was bittersweet for the family including the good doctor. Although Val was doing much better at her wounds healing she was still talking the forced taking hard. Her chance of leaving for the Air Force got pushed until she could have medical clearance and redo her final physical at the Military Entrance Processing Station. Reece had been trying his best to persuade her to stay but her mind was made up as she reminded him of his reason for going off the expected path. However, her situation was different. She was a mother now. She needed to be home. And with what they learned about her situation and that Lettie was behind it, no one wanted her out of their sight. Her Uncle Rmembert could make some calls but at the end of the day his reach was limited as she wanted nothing to do with the Army. **** Getting back to the ranch Reece brought in Royalty and passed him to Madre who was was chatting with one her sister-in-laws. The cou
Reece's POV I listened to her recant the story of how I stole her boyfriend's thunder and her heart for the thousandth time. Never in my life have I stolen anything. I nestled my nose up against her. "Baby?" I asked. I wanted to keep reminiscing and hopefully she'd let me fūck her. "Umm hmm" She whimpered in my ear. "Do you remember our first time together?" Her gasp told me she did and that more than her mind had gone back to that night. Her whole body shivered with memory. "Yeah, I remember. You whisked me away to the big city in your fancy car and begged me to cheat on my boyfriend with you. Very romantic." "I never told you my secret though" She struggled to push me away so that she could look me in my face. "What secret Reece?" Shịt time for me to explain my misdeeds. *Reece's Flashback POV* >Reece: My buddy! How are you today? Did you get the envelope?>Me: How art thee great noble one? *I can imagine him laughing.*>Me: Hi Reecey! Oh man it's been a day! I did get t
Reece's POV I didn't want to make her fall over the cliff yet so I backed off and kept my one digit inside of her. In a come hither movement with my finger, I culled her channel churning her liquid passion until I could hear it. Valiant started up again as I watched her get to her elbows and set her deep brown eyes on me. Lips swollen with my kisses and her constant biting of her I was drawn like a moth to a flame. Those lips and that pink tongue was going to play my dick tonight. I was going to be sure of it but for now, I wanted to see her mouth open allowing my name to escape. "Vee?" "Yeah." Her voice weak with lust. Breathless. "Are you ready to cum for me?" "Yes Reece. Yesssss." Her last word sounded sweeter than syrup and my sweet tooth was craving it all. I pulled my finger out just enough to mate it with another one slowly pumping them until they both dripped with her essence. My mouth found her clit as my teeth lovingly tugged at it. Her's was a bit more prominent t
