“Of course, yes,” she says as I slide the platinum diamond ring on her finger. Then she launches herself into my arms, kissing me all over my face.

“How are you feeling?” I ask.

“Good, really good. Excited. Nervous. Ready for what comes next.”

“Me too, but we got this, Brenna. Everything is going to be just as it should be.”

“That’s very pragmatic,” she says, giggling.

“I’ll officially move you in this weekend,” I tell her. I’ll take care of everything; she won’t ever lift a thing. I can get some of the guys from work to help if I need to, but she honestly doesn’t have much in her apartment. Most of her stuff is already here.

It is now my honor and privilege to love and care for her and the family we create until the day I die. It’s people like Brenna that makes living worth it.

I am glad I already spoke to her father about wanting to marry her and when he gave his blessing, I was so fucking happy, but this is so much better.

“When do you want to get married?” she asks, excitedly.

“As soon as humanly possible,” I growl, lifting her into my arms and carrying her to our bed. Her sexy giggle goes all through me as I walk. Fuck, everything I’ve done in my life has brought me to this moment and I’ll be damned if I let it go to waste.

“Fuck, Seamus. Fuck me harder,” I whisper as he slams into me harder than the last thrust. God, I’ve missed him. Missed this connection between us.

“You want more?” he growls, gripping my hip harder. He pulls out of me and flips me onto my belly before pulling me up onto my hands and knees. He slams back inside of me making me cry out loudly. He places one hand on my right hip and the other on the small of my back. He’s so much deeper this way. He owns me this way and he fucking knows it.

“I always want more,” I say, looking over my shoulder at him. He fucks into me over and over. This is the first time we’ve been able to have sex since our son, Joshua, was born a few months ago. He knows just what to do to me to make me come.

“You are such a good girl, Brenna” he chants from above me.

I push back into him, meeting him thrust for thrust. I need more and more and only he can give it to me.

The last year with this man has been nothing short of amazing. I love him more each day. I love the way he takes care of me and Josh. He works so hard to ensure that we are happy and healthy.

We got married about a week after he asked me, and we’ve been inseparable ever since. Our courthouse wedding was perfect with my family in attendance. A big wedding was never in the cards for me. We didn’t go on a honeymoon because I was too sick with the morning sickness, but we will one day. Maybe when the kids are all grown up.

“I love you, lass,” he says as he makes me come. I never get tired of hearing that. He gets so intense when he says it. I love it so much.

“I love you, too husband,” I reply, just like I always do. I feel him come inside of me and everything feels right with the world again.

I’ve not been asleep for very long when Josh starts crying loudly.

“I’ll get him,” Seamus says, getting out of bed. I watch him pull on some sweats before leaving the room. I sit up to lean back on the headboard. He brings me the baby where I feed and burp him before Seamus puts him in his crib. Exhausted, I lay back down and snuggle into the covers. The bed dips when he climbs back into bed behind me. He wraps his arm around my waist and pulls me closer to him, kissing my shoulder.

“Night,” I say sleepily.

“Good night, wife,” he whispers in my ear.

I thank God every day that he got on that train to be with me. Otherwise, I don’t know where our paths would have crossed if ever. I am a firm believer in things happening for a reason and this, the love we share, is the best reason ever.

Fifteen Years Later

The last sixteen years with Brenna have been amazing. She has given me so many children, five to be exact. She is the light of my life. She makes me want to be a better man. She still calls to me like nothing else ever has. After Joshua we had four girls, each one a replica of their mother. After so long together we can anticipate each other’s needs and wants.
