Naughty(19)

Once inside, she turned in her seat to look at him. "Any regrets, Mr. Blue?"

"Not at all. I've got what I wanted. You're mine, and I can promise you  that there is no way I'm letting you go. Not a chance." His hand cupped  her cheek, and he ran his thumb back and forward. Closing her eyes, she  basked in his touch.

"I hope I'm a good wife."

"You don't know how to be anything but perfect." The driver pulled away  from the church, and they made their way toward the reception. Carter  took her lips in a searing kiss that made her wish they were heading  toward their honeymoon rather than going to a roomful of people for  another few hours.

"What about you, Autumn? You've not really had much choice in the matter. Are you happy marrying a lowly mechanic?"

"Do I need to slap you? I don't care what you do. I hope I get a  discount when I want to get my car fixed, as otherwise what was the  point?" She winked at him, chuckling. "I had a choice in everything,  Carter. I didn't have to stay with you, nor did I have to move in with  you. I could have said no to marrying you. I love you. I love our son,  and I look forward to our future together. I know it's going to be  awesome." She dropped a kiss to his lips. "Lowly mechanic. What about  me? I just bake."

"I'm the one that has been spoilt."

"And so have I. You're my dirty bad boy."

He kissed her again, and she sighed, loving every second of being surrounded by him.

"There's something I wanted to give you," he said.

She frowned. "You've already given me enough."

He'd given her a family, love, passion, everything.

Carter pulled out a locket from his pocket, and she knew it belonged to his mother. "I want you to have this."

"Carter, no."

"I want you to have this." He flicked open the catch, revealing a  picture of his parents on one side, and then on the other, a picture of  the three of them. "Our family. This means everything to me. I tried to  get another made, but I could never find the right one."

"I can't take that."

"You're my wife, Autumn, you can take it. I want you to have it."

He gave her those big eyes that she found impossible to turn down.  Leaning forward, she lifted her hair up, exposing her neck. Carter  secured the clasp, and placed the locket back around her neck.

"Beautiful."

Resting her head on his shoulder, she closed her eyes, basking in the joy of being in his arms.

The drive went by so fast, almost too fast for Autumn. The moment they  entered the reception they were surrounded by people, talking to them.  Carter didn't release her, and she was thankful for that. The night went  back in a fuzzy haze. She was so happy, and so in love that she  couldn't stop smiling.

Mary and Bill took care of Sean while he took Autumn to a hotel for the  night. They were going to have a night together, and then for their  honeymoon they were taking their son with them. Her parents and even  Summer and David had offered to take Sean so they could have some time  together.

Carter couldn't do it. He couldn't leave his son behind, no matter how much he wanted Autumn to himself.

"May I have this dance?" he asked, offering his hand.

She placed her palm in his, and he walked her out onto the dancefloor.

Autumn wrapped her arms around his neck, and smiled up at him. "I never thought we'd get here."

"You didn't think we'd make it a couple of months, let alone a year and a half."

"How long do you think we'll make?"

"Years, baby. Do you think you're ever going to get bored of this? Of me?"

"When you put it like that, no." She chuckled.

"The vows I made today, I meant every single word. I'm going to love you  every single day for the rest of my life. I'm going to honor you, and  I'm going to cherish you."

"You're losing your bad boy image right now."

"I believe I lost that image months ago. I can be naughty and dirty, but when it comes to you, I can never be bad."

Her gaze moved to his lips. "Kiss me, Carter."

"My pleasure."

Pressing his lips against hers, he released a little moan, loving the  feel of her. Tonight he was going to have him beneath her where he was  determined to make love to her well into the night.         

     



 

Later that night as he was helping Autumn into the car, he shook several hands, including that of his father-in-law.

Before he rounded the car to climb behind the wheel, Bill Fowler pulled  him in close. "Take care of Autumn for us. Cherish her the way we do."

"I will, sir."

Climbing behind the wheel, he leaned over, and pulled her in for a kiss, before heading toward their hotel.

"What did my dad want?"

"He was being a father, Autumn. Telling me in no uncertain terms to take  care of you." Carter had been given a couple of warnings from Bill. He  accepted them. The man was only looking out for his daughter, and he was  a guy. "If he didn't give me hell, I wouldn't think he was a very good  father."

She chuckled.

Holding her hand, Carter traveled toward the hotel, knowing in his heart  that his future was with his wife, the love of his life, and there  would never be another like her.





Epilogue



Ten years later



"Dad, please stop singing, you sound crazy," Sean said.

Carter didn't stop singing to the Halloween song. He got louder and  shook his hips as he wriggled around the back yard. Several of his son's  friends were laughing, and he just knew that Sean was going to want to  kick his ass. His little girl Bethany was giggling and dancing with him,  shaking her little princess butt with him. Through the crowd he saw his  wife, the woman who owned his heart, even after ten years.

He loved her more now than ever before. Her stomach was still slightly  rounded, and he loved her curves. She'd given him three children, and  ten years worth of memories.

Beside her was a heavily pregnant Summer, who was on her fifth child with David.

"Come on, Sean, boogie with me." He held his hands up in the air, shaking his ass and hands.

Sean dropped his head into his hands. "Mom!"

Autumn, his sexy little witch, walked toward him. He was dressed as a  zombie, and he stayed still, watching the swing of her hips. She came  toward Sean, grabbed his face, and pressed a kiss to his cheek. "What's  the matter, sweetie pie?"

"Mom! You're embarrassing me."

What Sean didn't see was that all of his friends were copying the same  dance. Taking his son's hand, Carter watched as Bethany, Ryan, and  Autumn joined hands, and they all started dancing in a circle.

"Own it, Sean."

At ten years old, his son was struggling with his identity, but Carter  was determined to help him. After all, this was his family, and like  he'd told Billy, he would take care of it.

After a few seconds, Sean finally caved and did the dance along with them, swinging his arms, and finally letting loose.

For several minutes, they all just danced along to the music, and when  the song came to an end, everyone laughed, clapping. Sean hugged him.  "I'm sorry."

"Never forget who you are, son. No matter how much it scares you."

Sean nodded, and left to go and find some of his friends.

Autumn moved up to him, taking hold of his hands, and dancing. "That was nice," she said.

Their son had been having a few troubles with his anger. It was strange,  watching his son go through something similar to what he did growing  up.

"I think we got through to him."

"He's lucky to have you as a father. You understand him."

Locking their hands together, he spun her around, and tugged her close  so that his cock nestled against his ass. "I'm the lucky one having a  woman who has given me three precious gifts."

"It'll be four."

He froze. His cock thickened as he ran his lips across her ear.

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me. I'm about to give you another precious gift." She kissed his cheek. "Do you think you can handle another?"

He held her hand as he pulled her away from the main party in his home,  and toward a secluded tree. Pressing her up against the bark, he took  possession of her lips, feeling her body melt beneath his touch.

"Does it feel like I've got a problem with another?" he asked, rubbing his cock against her stomach.

"I was worried. Sean having troubles-"

He held his hand up. "I don't care what troubles we have to face,  Autumn. We'll face them together, as a family." He put his hand on her  rounded stomach, and smiled. "No matter what they throw at us, we'll do  it together, as one." Tears filled her eyes, and he sighed. "Babe, what  have I told you about crying?"

"These are not bad tears. They're good tears. Always good tears."

Carter had been right the moment he saw Autumn again. She belonged to  him, body, heart, and soul. She was his soul mate, the other half of  him, and he was never going to let her get away from him.         

     



 

Eight months later, his third son came into the world, and for the rest  of their life, he kept his promise. The faced the world, united  together, as a family.
