“I love you. I can’t wait until we see our baby and find out what we’re having,” he told me as he kissed me again, driving himself into her hard and deep as I cried out his name.
We came together in a rush of heat, our bodies toppling together as he rested gently against my body.
We made love again before I fell asleep in his arms.
I took the next day to think about what I truly wanted. I knew that I wanted to be with Perry, and I imagined all our years in Colorado with a wistful smile. That was home. “Are you okay?” Lauren asked as I looked across our office at her.
“I think I’m going back to Colorado. Am I crazy?” I asked as she laughed, knowing everything about Perry and me. We’d celebrated with donuts from the corner bakery after I showed her the ring.
“Not at all.” Her smile was bright.
I told Perry the following day after we saw our daughter, both of us reduced to tears. He said that he never looked for a place to begin with before he kissed me. I went to talk to my boss that afternoon with him to tell him the bad news, not surprised when they supported me wholeheartedly. They even offered to give me a letter of recommendation, making me thank them tearfully. I hadn’t been there long enough to ask any of that, in my opinion.
We decided to marry at a local chapel since there was no family to invite. We’d both lost too many people and just wanted our new life to start, so we said our vows on a balcony overlooking the ocean as the man performed the ceremony while his wife and daughter watched with tears in their eyes.
He packed up my car the following day after we’d spent the night in the bed at the condo, promising me a wonderful life filled with babies as I came repeatedly. We took his rental car back to Avis, and he took the driver’s seat for our ride home.
Perry stopped a hotel halfway through the drive. He told me that I needed some proper sleep but undressed me once we were in the suite, making love to me in the big bed as if he hadn’t seen me in weeks. “Is every time going to be this good?” I asked as I rested in his arms afterward.
“It might be more of a quickie when the baby comes along, but you’ll always be the best thing that happened to me,” Perry assured me as he smiled at me. “Do you think that they’re looking down at us?”
We’d seen a gorgeous sunset right after we were pronounced husband and wife, so I knew it for a fact. That was her sign to us.
It seemed like time flew by once we were home and getting ready for the baby. Mila Delaney Adams was born at the end of February, named after her grandmothers. She had his eyes and my hair. Perry and I took her home to the house in the woods, holding her as the fire roared in the fireplace. Her nursery was in the room beside Perry’s that was never used before since it was his floor. Now it was her little place in this house.
We were married for two years when we gave Mila a brother named Brandon, happy to welcome another member into our family. I was staying home with the kids and helping Perry at the office as needed. We had two dogs by now from the local rescue as well as three cats running around the house. It was chaos, but it was ours, and we loved every moment of our lives.
I can’t say that everyone in our life accepted us as a couple. There was a handful that found it disgusting as well as disrespectful to my parents, but we just had to leave them behind. We had our own life to carve out with our new family. We had each other.
We had love.
The End
Mia’s Hot Seller - Breaking Rules (Complete Story)
BLURB
I had saved my v- card for the right man….
I knew who it would be
He has mesmerized me with his looks,
Intoxicated me with his taste.
I know it is forbidden,
And can’t do a thing about it.
It’s so hard to fight my feelings,
And then…
He makes me pregnant!
What do I do now?
Should I tell the world and my dad, in spite of the age-difference….
In spite of the fact that he is Daddy’s Best Friend and that I am BREAKING ALL RULES to get him!
I was driving around the curve that overlooked the gorgeous Santa Barbara cliffs when the phone rang in my Escalade, making me roll my bright blue eyes. I didn’t even have to look to know that it was Dad wondering when I was going to be arriving home.
I graduated from college two months ago, and took my time leaving Harvard, attached to the city after living there four years. It was beautiful in Massachusetts and so different than California, but I knew what I was coming home to as I answered on the speaker with a smile. “Hello, Daddy.”
“Hi, Vie. Where are you at?” His voice echoed through the car, filled with love and concern as I silently adored my only parent. Mom left when I was five, presumably for another man if you believed the rumors around town. All I knew is that I never saw her again, though I looked like her with my eyes and chestnut colored curls. I wasn’t as thin as she’d been with my more than generous curves but I embraced them and worked to keep them neat and tidy as opposed to sloppy. I had a penchant for walking and running as well as a little bit of yoga when I had the time.
