night."
Axel stood then and nodded to his friend, and walked into their room, closing the door behind him.
Bridget turned to face him, took two steps toward him and leapt up against him, capturing his mouth with hers.
Axel held her close, bending his knees to properly scoop her closer to him, her standing feet left the ground and she immediately wrapped her legs around his waist. The feel of her body wrapped around his like this was incredible. Especially after what they'd gone through today. Both worried about the other. Both looking out for the other. He'd do whatever it took to keep her and Aidyn safe. Anything.
His hands shifted to cup her ass; the firm globes rounded with her legs wrapped around his waist. He pulled her in closer and her arms tightened around his neck. Their lips played over each other’s, his lips fully captured hers. She tasted like beer and wings and she smelled like an angel. Fresh from her shower but as they heated her true scent came through.
His breathing grew ragged and he slowly walked them to his bed. Putting his knee on the bed, he slowly lowered her down then covered her with his body. She wore clothing similar to his, black sweatpants and a dark green t-shirt. She wore a bra under her t-shirt and he admired that she would keep herself covered when Josh was around. He reached up under her t-shirt now, because he wanted to feel her skin, her breasts. He wanted to touch her everywhere.
His fingers found her bra and pushed it up as his fingers kneaded her breast. She arched her back and reached behind to unsnap her bra then she pulled her t-shirt up and over her head, discarding it to the floor. Her bra came next and he couldn't stop looking at her. Faint little marks marred her breasts, where there hadn't been any before. He traced them with his fingers, then kissed them with his lips, admiring her once again for what she'd done to bring their son into the world.
"Do you think they're ugly?" She asked shyly.
"No." His voice was soft, his emotions raw.
Her finger surprisingly traced the scar on the side of his face. "I don't think this is ugly, either."
He swallowed. She lifted herself up while holding his head and kissed his scar. Then she pulled his shirt up to his shoulders and waited for his help in pulling it off.

Oh, she wanted him. She wanted him bad. She'd never forgotten him of course and she was mad. And sad. Mostly because she'd so badly misjudged his character. Turns out she had, but in the opposite way she had thought, and it turned out not only was he a good person, he was a friggin’ badass.
Seeing him with a gun pointed at him was like a punch in the gut. She couldn't lose him now. They couldn't lose him now. Aidyn deserved to have a father in his life, and he'd taken to him so naturally. To jerk Axel away from Aidyn now would simply be life shattering for Aidyn. And if she were honest, her.
She tugged his shirt over his head and ran her hands over his chest, his arms, his neck, his back. The muscles that bunched and relaxed under her touch were mesmerizing. The fact that he was here with her now seemed like a dream come true. She'd thought about being with him over the years so damned many times. Especially at night. Damn, the nights were the worst. Especially when Aidyn was a baby, and she was the only parent home with him. She’d put Aidyn to bed and crash in her bed exhausted from keeping up with everything and thinking she'd fall right to sleep, when instead visions of Axel, who was Robert then, danced before her eyes. The way he looked at her when he entered her. The intensity in his eyes when he looked at her. Like he was trying to figure something out but couldn't.
Those hazel eyes, the color his son shared with him, stared at her every day and though she wanted to hate him, she couldn't. Aidyn's eyes would look at her so adoringly and tell her he loved her and his smile, which was a miniature version of Axel's reminded her time and again who Aidyn's father was.
When she found out he wasn't a criminal, he wasn't in jail for going against the law, he was helping people who'd fallen through
