Sugar fell back on the bed, exhausted, sweat covering her body. She ran her hand over her forehead, beads of perspiration lining her fingers. Candles were lit all around their hotel suite, their wedding night far more magical than she could have ever imagined.

She closed her eyes and smiled when she felt Colton run his fingers along the outside of the thigh, over her hip, and settle them right underneath her breast.

“God,” he breathed out roughly, the feeling of his warm breath skating over her neck and sending chills along her body. “I could take you again right now and it still wouldn’t be enough.” He planted light kisses all along her throat, over her collarbone, and finally sucked in a nipple, his mouth hot and wet, the suction doing wicked things to her.

He lifted her hand, the light catching her wedding ring, making it sparkle. She watched as he brought her ring finger to his mouth, sucking on the digit, bringing his lips closer to the diamond and band. When his lips brushed against the ring, she held in her moan, never even realizing that an act so mundane could be so erotic.

Colton pulled his mouth off her finger and murmured, “My wife.” He looked her in the eyes. “Mine.”

She couldn’t believe she was married to Colton, that they’d tied the knot, said their vows … would be together for the rest of their lives. It seemed like a fantasy, or maybe she was stuck in a dream. It was crazy how everything unfolded, how she’d gotten knocked over by his dog all that time ago and here they were now, newlyweds, ready to spend the rest of their lives together.

Colton placed his hand on her belly and she looked over at him, smiling.

“Who do you think will be more surprised that you got knocked up before we were married, your folks or mine?” He chuckled and leaned in to kiss her softly on the lips.

She was only about two months along, but they hadn’t told anyone about the pregnancy. It wouldn’t have mattered anyways. She and Colton were ecstatic over it. He’d make a wonderful father, and although she was a little bit scared and apprehensive about being a mother, she was already so much in love with the baby she carried that she could’ve cried.

“Honestly, I think they’ll all be over the moon. I think they’ll be so happy for us.”

“Yeah, I think so too,” he said and grinned. He pulled her against the hardness of his chest and she snuggled in. “And your friend Sassy, she’s one firecracker.”

Sugar laughed. “She is. She’s always had that spark in her. It’s why I love her so much.”

Colton murmured, “Want me to tell you all the ways I love you so much?” His voice was pitched low, the arousal lacing it clear. But he didn’t take her again, and instead just held her, telling her how much he loved her, how they’d make the perfect little family together.

She’d most likely tell Sass first, her best friend knowing all her secrets, all the little bits of information about herself that she hadn’t told anyone else before. They might not be sisters, but Sassy would definitely make the greatest aunt.

“I love you,” Colton said in a sleepy voice.

She smiled. “I love you too.”

Who knew fairytales weren’t just in movies and books?
