Swearing to Love You

“I love you too,” she says through gritted teeth as I pound into her over and over.

At this rate, she’ll be lucky if I let her plan a wedding at all before I am dragging her beautiful ass down to the courthouse tomorrow.

After dinner, we talk until she falls asleep. Kissing her forehead, I realize once again what a lucky fucking bastard I am.

Chapter Six

Maddy

It feels so weird not having to go into work every morning. Leif left this morning, waking me only to tell me he loved me and that he would try to see me for lunch. Lazing around all day has been tons of fun, but I am bored out of my mind too. And spending so much time with nothing to do is giving me too much time to think. I woke up feeling sorry for myself. The most amazing thing happened to me last night and I have no family here to share it with. I mean sure I could call my cousins and tell them, and they would be happy for me, but it’s not the same. Shoot. I need to get out of the house.

Deciding to go into town just to walk around, I change my clothes and am about to walk out the door when to my surprise Lanie shows up.

“Maddy. Hi. Did I catch you at a bad time?”

“No. Not at all. I have been wanting to call you. I am so sorry about the other day. I want you to know I would never sleep with a married man.”

“Oh, my goodness no. Maddy, I have been a hormonal mess. Probably because I am pregnant again. Erik and I have been having some communication issues lately and I let my imagination run wild. I am so sorry for making you feel anything other than like the sweet young lady you are. Forgive me?” See why I have always looked up to her? She has this grace about her that cannot be taught.

“Nothing to forgive. Congratulations on your pregnancy.” Part of me can’t help but long for that soon.

“Thanks. So, I also came here to ask if you want to join Erika, Tabby, Cymion, Portia, Missy, and myself for brunch at Missy’s?”

I am literally speechless right now. Other than my two cousins, I have never had female friends.

“Sure. I was just going to go into town to try to stave off some of this boredom. This sounds so much better.”

We jump in her car and drive the few minutes to Missy’s. Everyone is already there when we get there and it’s so great to see them all together. Missy looks beautiful pregnant. The glow she has is enviable. Especially considering how much her and Hagen went through to get this miracle. Cymion is glowing as well. But hers is a bit more visible. Her tummy looks so cute and round.

“Maddy. We are so glad you joined us.” Tabby says from across the table. Her laughter infectious.

“Well, thank you ladies for inviting me.” I say moving the hair out of my face.

“Oh my gosh. Is that what I think it is?” Portia squeals from across the table. Looking my way, Lanie sees what she is squealing and bouncing for and starts hugging me.

“Oh my. Maddy!!! Why didn’t you tell me? I am so excited. When did it happen?”

“Last night.” I find my excitement growing. Just this morning I thought I would have no one to share it with. Now, I have a bunch of someone’s.

“I have the best idea,” Missy says. “We should take Maddy to Migan’s right now. Oh, my goodness, Maddy. Migan makes the best designs. What do you say?”

What can I say? I am trying to fight back the tears, but it’s no use. I let a few fall as I realize I have found a real home, equipped with real friends.

Chapter Seven

Leif

One Month Later

I love my fucking life. There is nothing quite like making love to my girl first thing in the morning. Every morning. It’s just now light out but the room is still dark. Each morning, she rolls over to me and rubs on me until I have no choice but to take her again. Her moans always make my day. It’s Saturday and we’ve got nothing planned but staying in bed all day. Just my luck, not two seconds after I pull my spent cock out of my fiancée, the damn doorbell rings.

“I got this,” I say getting out of bed. I throw on a pair of sweats and grab a t-shirt from the laundry Maddy folded yesterday. Walking out into the living room, I see that she has subtly started adding her things into the room. It’s starting to look lived in and I love it. Opening the door, I am greeted by the sight of two large men.
