Deep Trouble - Brandy L Rivers
Dedication
To my mother who loves Fallon
This one is for you
Chapter 1
The nightmare gripped him in a terrifying embrace. Brody woke with a start, his eyes flipping open with the first rays of the sun.
Fallon curled closer, pressing her hand over his thumping heart. He pulled the love of his life tight and kissed Fallon’s scarlet curls.
Fear swirled too many thoughts around in his head. A million things could go wrong with their twins, or with her.
Losing his first wife and unborn child had been bad enough. It took four years, and Fallon, to pull him out of the constant reminders and memories. When Sarah had reappeared, Fallon tried to slip away to let him choose the woman he’d mourned for four years.
From the moment she walked into his life, his choice was made. Fallon. He couldn’t live without his mate. Losing her would kill him.
Maybe Sarah had no choice, but he couldn’t imagine Fallon giving in to a vampire’s gaze or bite. She would have fought, would have won, and would have come back to him. Sarah became a monster, ready to tear anyone apart to get what she wanted.
In the end, his first wife sacrificed herself when she realized he’d found his true mate, his other half. Sarah took herself out of the equation.
During the quiet moments of dawn, Brody let the tears fall. He still didn’t understand Sarah’s choices. Vampire persuasion or not. It shouldn’t matter. Since Fallon came into his life, he’d realized what had been missing in his relationship with Sarah. Acceptance.
Fallon embraced Brody’s beast. Sarah couldn’t. Then she became worse instead of fighting for their child.
Love you,
Fallon murmured, her fingers trailing up and down his bare side.
Love you more,
he whispered, afraid his voice would crack.
She leaned back, capturing his gaze. What’s wrong?
Reaching up, Fallon brushed away the tears.
Nightmare. Can’t lose you.
He covered her flat stomach with his hand. Or these two.
He could hardly wait for her belly to be round so he could feel their twins moving.
You won’t,
she promised. No matter what, we’re here with you, always.
I know, Sugar.
Nothing will ever come between us. Ever.
A sad laugh escaped. Once he had believed that of Sarah. Though Fallon had advantages a human never could have. He’d never met anyone stronger than his fiery druid.
Damn right,
he answered gruffly, shoving aside the nightmares, the doubts, everything but Fallon.
Her leg curled over his hip, drawing him tight against her. Desire burned hot, and his cock sprung to attention.
Make love to me, Brody.
Every doubt and fear melted away as he sank into her body. Don’t have to ask twice.
* * * *
After a hot shower, Fallon stepped into the bedroom, hearing quiet voices downstairs. Brody’s tension rolled through her. Her heartbeat picked up as she wrapped a towel around herself before creeping to the edge of the stairs.
What’s eating at you?
Adam asked.
Shh, keep it down,
Brody whispered harshly at his brother.
Is it Fallon?
Nightmares.
About?
Sarah. The baby. What could happen to Fallon and the twins.
Adam sighed. "You’re not going to lose Fallon or the twins. From the second she found out she was pregnant, she gave up coffee, alcohol, even freaking tuna because there might be mercury in the fish, and a million other things that might not be good for the babies. Not to mention the fact Fallon would kill anyone who posed a threat to her or her family."
Doesn’t stop the nightmares,
Brody answered.
You really didn’t deal with losing Sarah the last time. Maybe that has something to do with it?
I mourned her for years and felt nothing but anger when she walked back into my life. She nearly drove Fallon away.
Sarah did ensure you had a future with Fallon.
Fuck, Adam, what do you want me to say? I don’t miss her. She betrayed me, whether she had a choice or not. She killed our baby, became a monster, then wanted me back. And now I’m scared to death I could lose Fallon or our twins. What if something goes wrong? What if someone comes for her? What if there’s some fucked up magic thing that does more harm than good to her or our children? I can’t lose them.
A sob tore from him and tears rolled down Fallon’s face as her heart squeezed tight.
Adam’s voice softened. Nothing’s going to happen to them, Brody.
Doesn’t dampen the fear. I can’t make it go away. I wish to god I could, but it never goes away. She’s hard-headed to a fault…
Fallon couldn’t listen to any more. She slipped back into the bedroom and shut the door quietly. Sliding down the wall, she let the tears fall.
There wasn’t much she wouldn’t do for Brody, but she didn’t know how to take the fear away without driving herself crazy. Staying home, doing the homemaker thing, would likely break her.
Brody stomped up the stairs. Fallon pushed herself into motion, going to the closet to quickly dress. Last thing she needed was Brody seeing her upset. He’d think something was wrong. Then what would he do?
She wiped at her eyes and yanked on jeans and a t-shirt.
The door opened and shut, then his hands slipped around her waist, drawing her against his chest.
Breakfast is nearly ready,
he murmured against her ear.
Be down in a sec,
she answered as his fingers dipped under her shirt and lightly trailed over her belly. She moaned low in her throat even as her heart twisted further.
Do you have any idea how happy you make me, Fallon Dean?
She turned in his arms, grinning up at him. Not nearly as happy as you make me.
Now, I don’t know about that, Sugar. I’m the luckiest man on the planet. I have a fierce woman for a mate. No one stands against her. She’s sexy as hell, insatiable, and entirely mine.
All his worry from before had evaporated—for the moment.
