“You’re supposed to be upstairs with the girls,” she says, rubbing her extended belly.
“I wanted to show my dad how pretty I look.”
“You look beautiful, like a real princess.”
Finley beams up at me. “Wait until you see Kate, she looks like Cinderella.”
My heart thuds like a drum against my chest in anticipation. I may not be the Prince Charming she always dreamed about, but this beast will do everything in his power to give her the happily ever after she deserves.
“You better listen to Aunt Addie and go upstairs.”
Finley nods then follows Adelaide out of the room as my brothers file in, handing me a glass of whiskey.
“You ready for this?” Gunnar asks.
“Never been more ready.” Everything has fallen into place. And even though Kate was adamant that she was willing to give up her dreams for me, I made a few calls, and a few purchases recently that will guarantee she doesn’t have to give anything up.
“Have you told Kate yet?” Bennett asks.
“No, I’ll tell her tonight.”
“I still can’t believe you’re building her a TV studio, that’s almost...romantic.” Bennett laughs.
“It’s not a TV studio, more of a kitchen workshop where she can stream videos of herself baking.”
“She’s gonna love it,” Blaine says, clapping me on the back. “I think it’s time to walk down the aisle.”
Just then the door opens. “Weston,” Piper says. “She needs to talk to you.”
I frown. “I didn’t think I was supposed to see the bride before the wedding?”
“I know, but she says it can’t wait.” She looks down at the phone in her hand and I frown.
“Are you texting her now?”
She groans. “No, sorry. That’s my mom. Apparently, she’s coming for a visit.”
“That a bad thing?” Bennett asks.
Piper scoffs. “If you knew my mother, yes. She’s obsessed with getting me married now that my friends are all hitched.”
“Almost hitched,” I say, feeling nervous for the first time all day. “What does Kate need me for?”
“I honestly don’t know. But I’m sure it’s fine. I mean, it’s you and Kate we’re talking about. You’re the most ridiculous couple in this valley.”
I can’t help but feel a bit of pride over that. Since we got engaged, we’ve been pretty damn over-the-top with our devotion. My brothers thought engagement photos were tacky, but I loved it. It gave us an excuse to document the happiest time of our life. Hell yeah. They teased me over the fact that I rolled up my shirt sleeves and repainted the house, and that I remodeled the kitchen and bathroom - but damn, I wanted the cabin to be fit for my wife. Finley loved it, helping me install updated light fixtures and putting in a new washer and dryer.
I’ll take ridiculous any day if it means the two ladies in my life are happy.
“Is she having cold feet or something?” I ask Piper as I follow her out of the groom’s dressing room.
“I don’t know. She wouldn’t say. She went to the bathroom right before she got in her gown and came out all worked up.” Piper twists her lips. “I’m sure it’s fine. Maybe just nervous. She gets that way sometimes with lots of people. And this is a huge wedding.”
“She wanted a big wedding,” I say defensively. Kate wanted a wedding at a church, so of course that is what we are doing. And I’m glad it’s not at my mom’s place - she throws a good wedding and all, but I wanted Kate to feel like a princess today. My bride has been through hell and back when it comes to her journey to get her happily ever after. I want this to be her dream come true.
“Kate is in the church library,” Piper says, pointing to a door in the hall.
I nod, running a hand over my beard - now I’m the nervous one.
When I step into the wood-paneled library, I lock the door, wanting privacy. Then I turn to Kate and smile - how could I not?
She holds a bouquet of red roses, surrounded by shelves of books. She truly is my beauty, in the library, and I am her beast, longing to devour her.
Finley wasn’t exaggerating, she truly looks like a princess.
“My God,” I say, stepping toward my bride.
She lowers her chin, looking up at me. I can’t help myself - I need her in my arms. I pull her to me, her white wedding dress so beautiful, a bodice covered in glittering stones, the full satin skirt swooshing as I hold her to me.
“Tell me. What is it? What’s wrong?” I ask the love of my life. My palm presses against her back, covering her entire waist. She feels so small in my arms, and it makes me want to be her protector, on an even deeper level.
“Oh Wes,” she says. “I have to tell you something. I had to let you know before I said I do. Before any vows were made. I want you to know what you are really getting into.”
“What do you mean?” I ask, bewildered. We’ve spent how many nights sharing every part of our stories with one another? It’s impossible to believe there is anything about Kate that I don’t know. She even let me read the chapters she wrote for her discarded romance novel … she trusts me with everything.
So what has she held back?
“I’m pregnant,” she tells me. “We’re having a baby.” Her eyes dance with joy and I pick up my bride, overwhelmed with love for this life.
I kiss her, needing those ruby red lips against my own. “God, a baby?”
Her face shines with joy. “I know. I just took the test. I had to know why I was feeling so nauseous.”
“This day couldn’t get any better,” I say, pressing my hand to her flat belly. Already imagining her growing my child.
“Oh yes it could,” she says, a glimmer of excitement in her eyes. “You locked the door, right?”
I nod. “Yeah … why?”
She sets down her bouquet, and reaches to my belt, pulling down the zipper on my suit pants.
“Because I think I need a quickie with my baby-daddy before I walk down the aisle.”
I groan. My cock ripe with desire as I reach for the hem of her dress. She laughs, there is so much tulle that it takes a moment to find her beneath all the fabric.
When I do, my hands cup her bare ass, the sliver of a thong granting me easy access to her warm pussy.
I lift her up, my pants probably wrinkled, but I don’t give a fuck. Right now, I have my bride in my arms, her back against the library door. She sinks down onto my willing cock, arms wrapping around me.
Her pussy is tight as I fill her up, thrusting against my bride knowing she likes it hard just as much as she likes it soft. We come quickly, emotions mixing with pleasure.
Our faces could break we’re smiling so hard.
I want to stay in this moment forever.
Kate hears my words and she nods, tears filling her eyes. We have our whole lives in front of us.
A life that I never dreamed possible. But with Kate, the future is filled with possibilities.
“And babies,” she says, reading my thoughts.
Yeah, sweetheart, as many babies as you want.
“Good, because I forgot to tell you that twins run in my family.”
I chuckle, kissing her hard. That’s a path we’ll cross if we get there.
“But first, let me put a ring on that finger of yours.” I’m grinning like a damn fool as I help her adjust her dress. “Because this beast can’t wait another second to be married to his beauty.”
