We left the hospital two days later. All three… No… all four of us.

I ran my hands over my flat belly, eager to start feeling the first curves begin to grow… the first movements of a new life. Will ran his hands over my already rounder breasts and smiled.

“It’ll happen before you know it,” he said, reading my mind. “I can’t wait, either. I missed all this the first time…”

“Not tonight, you didn’t,” I teased, playfully. We’d already discovered a dozen new ways to please each other. The new cast on my ankle had only served to increase our creativity. I sat on his lap, my legs stretched out on either side of his hips. His cock stood straight up between us and waved… beckoning for more… “I don’t think there’s an inch left on me… or in me, that you don’t know… very intimately…”

“I aim to please,” he said, sucking air through his teeth, as I licked each of my palms and took his erection in both hands. I looked him in the eye and eased my pussy closer, so his balls rested against my clit. Pregnancy had made me bold and hungrier than ever. I hadn’t been able to get enough of him…

“Mattie and Donna’ll be back with Violet soon,” I said. They’d gone out for the day to buy their dresses for the wedding. We were staying in the city for now, while workmen were putting in tall, secure fencing around both houses on the island. I’d managed to convince Will to put the wedding off, but only for a week. “So I could either make you come right now,” I teased, mercilessly. “Or I could make you wait… until later tonight… or even tomorrow…” I laughed when he groaned. His hips bucked impatiently and the head of his cock was a deep, dark purple… In Will’s arms, I could have or give up as much control as I pleased…

“And I could beg you not to kill the father of your children,” he shot back, pulling a handful of my hair back and kissing my mouth roughly. “Plus, I am still technically your boss, too, you know…

But I think I like this dominant side of you…”

I bit into his lip and felt his cock raging between my legs. “Do you?” I asked, leaning forward, reaching underneath my pillow, searching with my hand for what I wanted. He caught one hard nipple in his teeth and sucked without mercy. I’d already soaked his cock and the sheets underneath us. I sat back, dizzy with desire and held up the ribbon in my hand. “Then you won’t mind if I tie you?”

I shifted back, without waiting for an answer, and slipped the thick ribbon around the base of his cock and pulled it tight. His shaft, already huge, grew bigger with every beat of his heart. He picked me up by the waist as if I weighed nothing, and held me over his dripping head.

“Tie me all you want, sweetheart,” he replied darkly, licking his lips. “But I’ll make you beg for it, just the same.” He held me as my pussy squeezed a long ribbon of silky wetness down to his cock… and I felt it cool underneath me. “Beg me, Angel…,” he said. “I can wait as long as it takes…”

But I had no such patience. I moaned his name and all my needs. And he filled every one of them. He didn’t stop until my throbbing clit was stroking the rough, wet texture of the ribbon that bound him. He held my hips in his hands, grinding me against him, rocking me forward and back, up and down his shaft… movements that made me dizzy with pure pleasure and building excitement. He rocked my breasts against his mouth, his lips, his chest. He bit and licked, sucked and teased until I was only a breath away from orgasm. He’d always made me come easily… and with our baby inside me, it seemed to happen even faster. “It’s right there,” he whispered in my ear. He bit into the lobe and I felt everything inside me clench down. “I can feel it inside you.” He put his hand on my belly.

“My climax?” I gasped, digging my nails into his hard back.

“The love between us,” he answered, pushing in… pushing us both over the edge. “Family… our child…,” he gasped out as he began spilling hotly inside me… “Our miracle baby…

Just under the surface…”

“I’ve never been so happy in my life,” I said to Mattie.

The week Will had agreed to give me had gone by in a flash. But with Mattie’s help, and Donna’s, everything was finally ready. I turned, looking into the mirror, and sighed with satisfaction. There were no more doubts anymore, no hesitation left inside me… I belonged to Will, heart and soul…

My dress was ankle-length, long enough to cover most of my cast, and made of cream-colored silk that rustled softly with every movement. And I wore the gold and diamond bracelets he’d given me. Just the mere touch of them against my skin made a hunger surge inside me, in anticipation of the night to come… Mattie adjusted the pearl tiara in my hair and a hot blush swept over me. The boxes, I remembered… for the playroom… We hadn’t had a chance to unpack them… yet…

She grinned and turned me around to face her. “You sure as hell have your glow on,” she said. She closed one eye and looked at me critically. Then she loosened another curl and let it fall over my shoulder. “Perfect, damn you. I never saw any woman in the throes of morning sickness look so good. And I don’t remember those pink cheeks when Violet was on the way…”

“I didn’t have Will in my life back then,” I said, taking her hands. She’d chosen a bright red dress for herself, the color of her hair. She was beautiful, too. Perfectly and beautifully herself. “I never would have made it to this day without you, you know.” I said, suddenly emotional.

“Bullshit,” she replied, practically. “It just wouldn’t have been as much fun.”

There was a soft tap at the door. Donna opened it, poking her head in, then leading Violet into the room ahead of her. “Oh my God, baby…” I knelt down to her and reached out my arms. “Look how beautiful you are,” I breathed. I touched the tiny string of violets in her dark hair, the soft chiffon of her lavender dress, and looked up at Donna. “How can I ever begin to thank you both…” I said, my voice breaking.

“By not spoiling your makeup by getting all weepy, that’s how,” Mattie said. “It’s not like we’re never going to see each other again. Rex found us a loft that’s only twenty minutes away from your place in the city, and Will said the boat and even the helicopter are at our disposal.”

Donna nodded. “And I’ll be seeing Vi almost every day for her sessions,” she added, her plump face all smiles. “This isn’t the end of anything, honey. It’s the beginning of the whole world…”

The three of us locked in an embrace, bound forever by the strength of our love and devotion to each other. Will had been right… Love is what makes family…

“Time’s up.” His resonant voice came through the door. “I know the groom isn’t supposed to see the bride until she walks down the aisle, but since I’m the one carrying her…”

He opened the door and I watched him exhale, all the air seeming to leave his massive chest. He looked at me like no one ever looked at me before. Like I was the beginning and the end of his whole world. I certainly knew he was for me. He taught me how to love, how to trust. He’d shown me that everyone needs something, someone to have faith in. I’d wanted him from the day I’d first seen him. I’d loved him from the night he first danced with me. I’d belonged to him from the moment he’d first touched me. This incredible man had given me permission to find my own strength… and the courage to own it. He’d given me back my heart.

He bent down and swept Violet up into his arms, then he caught me against his chest and kissed me in a way that threatened to undo all the careful work Mattie had done. “You made me a father twice over, my sinful little angel,” he breathed against my lips. “Are you finally ready to make me a husband, too? My patience is starting to run out,” he threatened.

“Six more months to fatherhood again,” I said tangling my fingers in his thick, dark hair. “But only another minute right now.

There’s just one more thing I need to do…”
