I check in on him once a week in secret, showing up at the house and checking the general state of things. I reiterate my offer to facilitate him getting the help he needs, and if he makes some different choices in his life, I will guardedly but slowly allow him access to his daughter again.
We will see. For now, Bria is at peace with the situation and her well-being, as well as the well-being of our baby, are priority one. Her father is a grown man, making his own choices.
The good news is, my parents have had some revelations of their own. After a rocky start, once I told them a grandbaby was on the way, they’ve come around.
They treat Bria with respect, the relationship between her and my parents is friendly, and I’m hoping the next year will see more positive changes in us all. My mother sees more and more how Bria and I remind her of her own parents and what is truly important in life.
I built a huge addition on the house for my grandfather. He’s not with us permanently, but a couple times a month he comes and stays for a few nights and I can see the joy in his eyes when he sees Bria and me together, which is the greatest gift I think I can give him at this point in his life.
I spend the next hour on the phone, talking with Roan about a real estate deal we’ve put together, building some stellar low-income housing on Pines Avenue. It will be a couple years in the making, but it will redevelop a huge portion of abandoned housing and commercial buildings into duplexes, single family housing, decent grocery stores and some new shopping areas.
My machine shop is doing well, still growing, and almost all the welding I do now is just for my personal and art projects. I’m in the office more than down on the shop floor and work is coming in faster than I can hire and train enough staff to handle the overflow.
I’m not complaining, I just hate every minute I’m away from Bria and I have no fucking clue how I’m ever going to be away once the baby is here.
She’s hell-bent on getting her design degree and I’m all in with her. With everything I have going on, I could retire next year and keep us flush so I can spend every moment of the rest of my life with my family.
We’ll see. For right now, I’m just trying to get through her first class.
Ten minutes later, the door to her classroom opens and my heart starts beating faster, waiting for her to appear.
She’s smiling so big when she comes out, I think my chest is going to burst with pride.
“Everything go okay?” I try to keep my voice cheerful.
“Great. It’s going to be so fun.”
“Good. I love seeing you smile.”
“But it was the first day, so he let us out early. I have an hour until my next class…soooooo…” Her brown eyes sparkle as her teeth nip into her bottom lip, and my dick is already getting thick in my pants.
God, I love this woman.
“Follow me.” I tuck her next to me, my arm around her shoulders, and guide her out into the parking lot to the new Suburban I just bought for her last week. I parked far away from any other cars because I didn’t want anyone dinging up my girl’s new ride. I open the door, get her sweet ass into the second row of seats, then climb in behind her.
I’ve got her skirt flipped up, and her on all fours, within ten seconds. She turns around, grinning at me, wagging her ass. “I see now why the blacked-out windows were a good choice.”
I reach down between us and release my ready cock, and sink into her without a word. We both moan as her slick heat wraps around me.
“I love you, Snowflake. You’re the best Christmas present ever.”
“And you’re the best fifty-thousand dollars I ever spent. Even if it wasn’t my money.”
“It was always your money. You just didn’t know it yet.”
I slam into her deep, making her cry out as her slick juice coats my balls.
She’s mine. She will always be mine. And I am hers.
Forever.
Chapter 14
Bria
Ten years later
“We get to have two Christmases! All our friends are so jealous…” Sonya, our eldest, dances around the patio of our vacation home on the beach in Costa Rica, as I come out from the sliding doors to our bedroom in a new yellow polka dot bikini Martel bought for me for our December Christmas.
Martel gives me a look and I know, even though my body has changed over the years, he finds me as sexy as ever. My hips are wider, my boobs have given in to gravity a bit, but every time he grabs my ass he tells me it’s the finest on the planet and that’s all I need to hear.
