David ended up calling the judge over, who, despite being suspicious of him, still owed him a favor.

“Well,” says Judge Carter. “She does seem to be having some… issues.”

“Get the bugs off of me!” screams Alicia, still stuck behind the couch.

“As you can see,” says David, “she’s in no shape to be raising a kid. Maybe we can work out some kind of visitation schedule once she gets into rehab again.”

Judge Carter nods. “This worked out very well,” he says. “I would hate to think of what would have happened had I not been aware of her state. She did a very good job of hiding the information from the courts. And she had a very convincing lawyer.”

“Is that who gave you the information on my marriage?” says David.

Judge Carter nods. He’s fiddling with his pocket watch, running his fingers over it as he holds it in his palm.

“In light of the situation,” says Judge Carter, “I won’t be recommending that you be prosecuted for… faking a marriage. Frankly, under the circumstances, it’s entirely understandable.”

David’s grinning ear to ear.

This means he gets to keep full custody of Laura.

“The last thing I wanted to do was defraud the court,” says David. “But as you can see, I simply knew I needed to keep custody of Laura.”

“Yes,” says Judge Carter, frowning slightly. “And it’s lucky she ended up being Olivia’s roommate.” He looks at me. “Because otherwise, without the verbal invitation of her roommate to enter the premises, a court order would have been needed to enter.”

David and I both nod.

Things have worked out very well indeed.

“Well,” says Judge Carter, putting away his pocket watch and crossing his arms. “We’ll make sure she gets the help she needs. And the case won’t go to court.”

“Judge,” says David. “There’s one more thing I’d like your help with.”

Judge Carter raises an eyebrow.

“It turns out that… yes, while the marriage was initially fake for the court’s benefit, to prove that I had become a changed man… well, what happened was that Olivia’s taught me a lot about myself. And we’re in love. We’d like to get married, and I’d like you to be the one to officiate the ceremony.”

“Me?”

“It seems fitting,” says David.

“You know,” I say, chiming in, and taking David’s hand as I do so, “we already had a big wedding. At least it was big for me. I think it would be appropriate to just have a little ceremony at the courthouse.”

David beams at me.

“Very well,” says Judge Carter. “I can arrange that for you. Why don’t you come down tomorrow afternoon? Out of curiosity, Olivia, what made you fall for David? He doesn’t have the best reputation with women.”

I laugh, and so does David.

“There’s… something about him,” I say. “And I saw how much he loved his daughter… Once he got a little better at communicating with her, it opened him up a little emotionally…”

David’s actually blushing, and Judge Carter looks uncomfortable with all this talk about emotions.

“I see,” he says stiffly. “Well, I think I’d better be going.”

David sees Judge Carter out, and Sasha walks timidly into the room, looking confused.

“What’s going on?” she says. “I had my headphones on the whole time.”

“Oh,” I say, laughing. “Sasha, this is David Masters, my future husband…. Well, I guess he’s already my husband. But we’re getting married again.” I’m so excited that I’m talking quickly and I’m not sure I’m making any sense.

“What?” says Sasha, her mouth falling open.

“Hi,” says David. “I’m David Masters, nice to meet you.”

Sasha looks him up and down. “You’re getting married again? Seriously?”

“Yup,” I say.

David beams, and I kiss him.

“I’ll leave you two alone,” says Sasha. “But don’t think you’re not going to invite me to the wedding.”

“Of course you’re coming!” I say. “But it’s just going to be at the courthouse.”

“What should I wear?”

I shrug. “Just jeans.”

Sasha laughs.

David kisses me on the mouth.

“I’ll leave you two alone,” says Sasha, a teasing tone in her voice. “Oh, but what are we going to do about Alicia?”

“I’ll call someone to take her to rehab,” says David, grabbing his phone. “Fortunately, she’s always very happy to go. It’s being there that she doesn’t like.”

An hour later, the rehab team has come and taken Alicia away. She was all smiles.

“You’re going to pay for her rehab?” I say.

David shrugs. “It’s the least I can do,” he says. “It’s going to be better for Laura if she has her mother off of drugs. And with you in my life now, I don’t need to worry about Laura being taken away from me.”

“You’re really a changed man,” I say, teasing him.

“Not totally changed,” says David, pressing his body into mine.

We’re lying on my bed, which hasn’t been used since I moved out, and David and I are facing each other, lying on our sides.

“Let’s hope so,” I say.

I push my hand down between us and feel his hard cock, massive in his pants. “Some things are still exactly the same.”

David presses his mouth against mine. Our tongues and lips collide, practically creating sparks.

My body’s already on fire. I want him.

“Nothing like a little quality time with my wife,” growls David.

“Not your wife yet,” I say.

“Technically you still are.”

“Let’s make the best of it then,” I say. “None of this staying pure before the wedding night.”

David kisses my neck and thrusts his hard cock, still covered by his pants, into my crotch. It rubs against my clit, which is incredibly swollen.

I’m breathing shallow and fast, my breasts rising and falling.

“I want you so much, Olivia,” growls David.

“I want you too,” I say. “I want to feel your hard cock.”

We start undoing each other’s clothing, all at once. Everything is coming off, flying halfway across the room.

He pulls up my shirt, and undoes my bra in one swift motion. He kisses my nipples and cups his hands under my breasts.

I moan as he sucks on my nipples.

I try to take his pants off, or at least undo them. He tugs them the rest of the way off, lifting up his muscular legs, and throws the pants clear to the other side of the room.

Completely naked, we fall into a twisting pile of our tangled bodies, moving this way and that on the bed.

David’s on top of me, and his cock enters me, piercing my opening and plunging inside me.

He pumps his hips, thrusting into me, grinding on my clit in a way that makes me gasp.

I moan as he rides me. His body presses down onto mine and his hands cup my head like I’m the most precious thing in the whole world to him.

We come at the same moment. David grunts and I cry out, and we fall still, remaining frozen in our positions.
