My woman didn’t want to go with a traditional white dress. She wanted a big red lacy thing. She could have told me she was planning to wear my old sweatshirt and a pair of her tight ass yoga pants, and I wouldn’t have cared. I don’t care about any of these details as long as I can call this beautiful woman mine before the end of the night.
She catches me staring and sends me a wink before Dad is ushering her to close the door.
The pastor, a local farmer who does weddings on the side, gestures for us to take our places. The old organ cranks out the wedding song but the tightness in my chest doesn’t leave. It won’t leave until he’s announcing that we’re wed. She’s always been mine. Today is just a formality as far as I’m concerned. But I still want it to go perfectly for her.
The door swings open and just like that my beautiful bride is walking down the aisle. She’s on my father’s arm and her smile is so big that it could be considered blinding. Beside me, Micah’s daughter makes a soft sniffing noise. He bounces her in his arm, quietly comforting her as Ledger stands nearby too. My brothers are my best men and it’s only appropriate since they are the best men I know.
Mom stands on the bride’s side with Chloe, the nanny that Micah hired. Peyton is also with them, and she keeps sneaking little peeks at Ledger. They’re so in love with each other. Snowball purrs at my feet. She still hisses at everyone but me. It makes me laugh that she won’t meow for anybody else. But despite all of my family around me, there’s only one person I can focus on. My girl.
She takes my breath away with her beauty. She’s glowing and we both know why. She peed on a stick last night. We were supposed to be apart, a night to make it all romantic. But she couldn’t wait.
Cassie crashed the bachelor party to shove the stick in my face. I thought my heart was going to explode when I finally realized what it meant. I’ve never been happier or prouder in all my life than that moment. The moment I realized that I’d just become a father.
She’s not feeling sick yet, which is a good thing because I plan to make the most of our honeymoon. I’m going to tire her little body out with endless orgasms. It’s my favorite thing to do anyway. Every chance I get I have my lips, fingers, or cock giving her pleasure. It’s what I was put on this earth to do—pleasure, provide, and protect this amazing woman.
The moment my dad releases her to me, I grip her fingers in my own. She’s so soft and delicate.
Her hands are calloused from her days spent making toys in the workshop. She insists that she wants to keep making them even as we build a family. I told her I’d support all of her dreams, no matter how many children we have. I’ll always have her back and always believe in her goals. I’ll do everything I can to see her reach them.
The preacher is talking then. He’s asking us to repeat our vows and when Cassie repeats hers, my heart nearly stops. I still can’t believe she’s mine. After ten years of hoping and longing, we’re finally together. I wake up every morning feeling like the luckiest man on earth and go to bed every night with a smile on my face.
“You look beautiful,” I whisper just before I kiss her. It’s our first kiss as man and wife but the truth is, every kiss with her feels like the very first one. She was worth waiting for.
The only thing that forces me to part from my new wife is the pastor interrupting us. “Don’t devour her, son.”
Our friends and family chuckle. I’m crazy about this woman and I don’t care who knows. It’s a struggle to keep my hands to myself any time I’m around her. Micah used to get annoyed with me until he found his nanny. Now he gets it.
Ledger pats me on the back. “Don’t get her pregnant right here, slugger.”
“Too late for that,” Micah mutters under his breath. He was at Liquid Courage when Cassie shared the news with me. He congratulated us with a big smile and told us how happy he is to be a dad.
Mom lets out a gasp.
“Fuck, sorry, Cassie,” Micah apologizes before glancing toward the pastor. “Sorry for the language.”
He waves it off before congratulating us.
Mom and Dad crowd around Cassie. They’re so excited at the thought of welcoming another Kringle grandchild. They quickly accepted Micah’s daughter and showered her with affection the moment he introduced them to her.
There’s a round of hugs and congratulations and excitement before it’s time to move onto the next part of the ceremony. Finally, after a long day, we’re back home. Yesterday, my brothers and I moved the last of her furniture over here.
She carefully directed since I wouldn’t let her lift a finger. Now that she’s pregnant, I don’t plan on letting her do anything.
I lock up the house and settle Snowball on her new cat tree in the living room. She climbs onto her favorite ledge and flicks her tail, studying me. I give her a scratch under the chin. “Help me watch over her now.”
She meows as if pledging her protection.
The last thing I do before I head into the bedroom is set the Christmas lights on Cassie’s favorite settings. They twinkle and shimmer, sure to delight her when she sees them later.
When I come into the bedroom, she’s already stripped out of her dress. She’s standing there in her white bra and panties. The set is far from plain though. It’s been designed to look like ribbons. I’m about to lose my damn mind because my cock is so hard. “I loved the wedding dress. But I love this look even better.”
“I figured it’s Christmas Eve so I should get you a gift,” she teases.
I prowl across the room and brush her hair from her shoulder. I press soft kisses to her skin because she loves it when I touch her here. “You’ve already given me the best gifts. Your heart, your body, your soul. And now, a baby.”
“That one was a team project,” she says as I scoop her into my arms and carry her to the bed. I spend the rest of the night giving pleasure to her curvy body and showing her all of the ways I love her.
This woman is my best friend, my wife, and my soulmate. I’ll love and cherish her every day for the rest of our lives.
