Free Freedom to Ride (Ravens MC) by Suzanne Clark Page B

her on the forehead, he wrapped his arm around her shoulders as they followed Ethan walking beside his mum, both cooing over a giggling Holly wrapped in Alice’s arms.
    After dinner Alice offered to show Deanna around her home whilst the boys played with Holly. Deanna soon discovered that this was so Alice could have a private word with her away from Nate. Alice explained that she had been worried when she ’d heard Nate had a new woman. His past girlfriends had caused so many problems and treated Nate badly, either wanting him because of his reputation, money or link to the club. Alice was happy to discover that Deanna didn’t seem to be anything like that.
    Unknown to Deanna, Nate had confided in his mum some of the trauma she had experienced at the hands of her ex. Alice was impressed that she ’d had the courage to get herself and her beautiful daughter free of their terrifying domestic situation.
    Now Alice had seen Nate and Deanna together she could see why he had fallen for her so quickly. Alice then went on to thank Deanna, saying that she ’d never seen her son so happy before, and Deanna was filled with contentment.
    At the end of the night, as they said goodbye, Alice happily offered to babysit whenever they wanted, which explained Nate ’s comment on finding a babysitter for when Deanna worked. They made the arrangements, Alice happy to be looking after what she considered to be her first grandchild.
    As the two women embraced Alice whispered to Deanna that she and Holly were now officially part of the family. She gratefully thanked Alice, the two women parting fondly. 
     
    Arriving back home Deanna was exhausted. Dinner with Nate and his family had been a success. She ’d got on brilliantly with Ethan and could see the brotherly bond between him and Nate was strong. It also made her feel a little lonely as she was an only child and had none of her own family left. Seeing Nate with his family made her sad for what she felt she’d missed out on.
    Deanna put a sleeping Holly in her cot and turned to find Nate standing in the doorway watching her with a gentle smile on his lips.
    “You tired?” Nate asked.
    “ Knackered. I had a brilliant day. Thanks Nate. I loved spending time with your family.”
    “ You’re welcome.” Nate walked into the room wrapping his arms around her. “I still can’t believe she brought out my bloody baby photos. Who does that anymore?” Nate grumbled.
    Deanna laughed. “A very proud mum, that’s who. I never knew you looked so much like your dad, he was a big man too. The similarity was eerie. The only difference was the eyes, you’ve got yours from your mum. Ethan takes after your mum in looks but has your father’s eyes. Your dad was such a handsome devil. Just like his son,” Deanna said kissing him as her hands reached into his hair. When the kiss began to heat up Nate pulled away.
    “ Why don’t you get into bed and I’ll lock up,” Nate went to move away but Deanna pulled him back.
    “ I’m not that tired. Nate . . . I . . .  erm . . . stay. I want you to make love to me.”
    Nate ’s eyes widened in response. He had an all-consuming need for her but didn’t want to push until she was ready. After everything she’d been through he wanted to make sure her needs came before his own.
    “ You sure?” Nate said softly, hoping she wouldn’t change her mind.
    “ Oh yes, quite sure. I’m on the pill so I’m free to explore every naked inch of you,” Deanna whispered naughtily.
    Quickly grabbing her hand he pulled her from the room, making her giggle, and headed toward his room, not wanting any interruptions. He wanted to hear her moans and sighs of pleasure without the worry of waking up Holly, and as he closed the door she pulled his head down, kissing him passionately. As the kiss deepened she moved away when she began to gasp for breath and his lips nibbled her ear down to her neck.
    Slipping his hands under her dress he pulled it over her head and
