Free Taking Whatever He Wants: The Cline Brothers of Colorado by Unknown

    “Are you hungry or do you just want to go back to the hotel?”
    “Let’s go eat. Those crackers did make me feel better, and I’ll take it easy like they suggested.”
    “Okay, baby.” We stopped at the nearest restaurant because I didn’t want her exerting herself after everything this morning.
    “Tell me, are you ready to be a father?”
    “Not really, but I’m ready to be a husband. The baby is a bonus. I’m not sure how to take care of a baby, but I’m sure we’ll figure it out.”
    “A husband?” she asked with a quirked brow and a tilted head. “Just because I’m pregnant doesn’t mean we have to get married.”
    “No, it doesn’t, but what it does mean is that we’re getting married sooner rather than later.”
    “Do you think your brother is going to flip when he finds out?”
    “Something tells me that from our last conversation he’s going to be just fine. Hell, maybe even better than fine.”
    “Really? That’s good to hear.”
    “Yep, but I still don’t want to go back home just yet. I want to give him a little more time to come to grips with whatever he may be going through with a woman he just met. I don’t know the details, but I know he couldn’t stop smiling.”
    “That is amazing. Maybe we could enjoy New York for a week or so then?”
    “I like the sound of that. Then we get married.”
    “Married? Do we have to have a big wedding?” she asked with a scrunched up face, like it was unpalatable to her.
    “Isn’t that my job to ask if we can keep it small?”
    “I suppose, but I just don’t have anyone but Brent to invite and he’s busy with his new wife, and well, your brother may not be up for it.”
    “Then we fly to Vegas then tell everyone afterward.”
    “I like it. Let’s eat and go back and rest. I don’t know about you, but I’m beat.”
    “Shit, really? We could just take it to go and skip the sit down.”
    “No, then it’ll be cold when we get back.”
    “True, love.”
    Our food was pretty damn good, but about halfway in I could tell that Sonya had enough and it was time to go. The walk back to the hotel was a little chillier than when we left. We needed bigger coats. It was too cold for her to be out in this, especially if she wanted to explore the city.

    We took a nap for a while. I woke up first, so I called Jack to ask how everything was going.
    “So far, so good. We took on some new projects for the winter. Four new bike orders.”
    “That’s great. It’ll help when we’re not as busy. Are the time frames solid?”
    “Yes, they all want them in the spring.”
    “Great. A question… have you talked to my brother? Do you know how things are going with him and that chick that’s got him going?”
    “You need to talk to him about it, but FYI, she’s technically still married.”
    “What!” I yelled forgetting that Sonya was still asleep. I turned my head and saw she was still asleep. Thank goodness, she needed the rest. In a whisper, I said, “What do you mean married?”
    “As in married. He’s a fucking shit head and already filed for a divorce claiming she abandoned him. It’s a long story, but it’s all hush hush around here about it. Talk to Will when you get a chance and let him fill you in.”
    “I will. I’ll call you later. I think I need to talk to my brother before things get crazy.” Rage filled me in so many damn ways. Will didn’t need the extra drama in his life or, hell, maybe that’s what he needed to get back on track.
    My next call was to my brother. I wanted answers. He was out in the field when I called, but paused to talk. “What’s up, Shane?”
    “I don’t know. You tell me. I just talked to Jack and there’s something going on with that chick you have there?”
    “It’s nothing, she’s recovering nicely and, well, we’ll be getting married soon.”
    “Recovering? Married? Aren’t you moving a little fast?”
    “Just because you have no plans of settling down doesn’t mean
