Chapter Nine

Diesel sat where Kenzie left him, his mind in turmoil. The guilt was the first thing he had to deal with. No matter how things ended up between them, he needed to protect his son.

That was the easiest part.

He took out his cell phone and called his lawyer. He told him about the immediate changes he wanted and didn’t give the man a chance to question his decisions. He made it clear that he was to have whatever paperwork he needed to sign ready and he’d be in to take care of it.

When the shower stopped a few minutes later, he went to talk to MacKenzie.

The bedroom door was partially cracked – probably so she could listen for Dalton – and he pushed it open. His heart practically stopped at the sight of her.

Framed in the sunlight-filled window, wearing nothing but a black bra and panties, she made quite the picture. Her hair was loose and flowing down her back, dark and silky. She had her jeans in her hand and turned when the door opened.

Where her stomach had once been board flat, it now had a gentle roundness. Knowing it was a result of his baby growing inside her made him instantly hard. He walked to her, his mind blank of all the things he’d been about to say, and dropped to his knees. He smoothed his fingertips over her tummy and kissed it.

“I was enormous. Dalton was a nine-pound baby,” she told him softly. He traced the tiny lines low on her stomach, where her body had stretched to accommodate their son. “Those will never go away. I don’t mind, a few more marks don’t seem to matter.”

Diesel stroked up her torso and cupped her breasts, asking questions without saying a word.

“I breast-fed at first but I couldn’t keep up…he needed so much, even then. I had to stop before he was four weeks old.” He wrapped his arms around her and laid his cheek against Kenzie’s abdomen. Her hands went into his hair.

He held her like that for a long time, her skin was soft and warm. “Do you have photos of you and Dalton over the years, MacKenzie?”

“I have thousands. I knew one day I’d have a chance to show them to you.”

“Why did you come in here, Kenzie?”

“I needed a few minutes to kind of pull myself together, Diesel. I’m not used to being so close to anyone but my…our son. You’re so…affectionate. Dalton is like that, too.”

He lifted his face and looked up at her with a small frown. “Surely you’ve dated.” She shook her head. “It’s been four years, MacKenzie.”

Her hand smoothed through his hair and down his face. “I was pregnant. Then I was busier than ever before.” She gave him a smile. “I told you you’d be the last for a long time, Diesel.”

Diesel stood up and cupped her face in his huge hands. “Kenzie…no one else?”

“I was a virgin until I was twenty-one.” She shrugged one bare shoulder delicately. “I’m picky.
