The evening before my wedding. And now I know that I am marrying someone that I love and loves me. I bite my lip at the thought of what I have planned for tomorrow night. I was able to talk Helen into taking me to a local lingerie store. We figured out what size I was and started looking at the lingerie. We had found some that were comfortable, thank goodness, but also sexy. I wanted to bring Ashton to his knees on our wedding night, especially now that we will be having sex for the first time. Nervous doesn’t even begin to describe what I’m feeling; yes, Ashton and I have fooled around, but sex? Actual sex? I know practically nothing. Ash entered the guest house and kissed my lips, “What are you doing for your bachelorette night?” He asks. I shrugged as I tucked the bags away, which caught his eye. “What’s that?” “You’ll find out tomorrow night,” I told him, causing him to arch one of his dark brows. “What are you doing for your bachelor night?” I question; he and Terr
In less than twenty-four hours, I will be a married man. But the bad part is that I’d be pleasing my bride in bed instead. Terry finally convinced me that we should go to the strip club, but not for the reason I initially thought. Sitting in a booth, we were soon joined by two young men, probably around twenty. “Mr. Woods,” One of the men said, shaking my hand. It didn’t take me long to figure out who these men were, “my name is,” “I know who you are, Mr. Henderson.” I say, “You and your brother are well-known in Alador City.” The Demon King brothers smirk, “Hell,” Terry chimes in, “Your entire family is well-known.” Angel motions for us to sit,
“Alright,” I hear Terry yell out, making me groan in my bed as I glare at him from under the pillow, “It’s wedding day!” I sat up and groaned, “I need coffee.” Terry shoved a thermos of coffee in my face, “Figured you’d say that.” He chuckled, “And I already checked in with Helen, Hailie is already up, she’s getting her hair and makeup done as we speak.” “Please tell me she’s had her coffee.” I say, “She gets crabby later in the day if she doesn’t have at least one full cup of coffee.” “I’ll go make sure, but she seemed in a pretty decent mood when I left them.” I shook my head, “No, double check and make damn sure she’s had her coffee. The last thing she needs is someone being stupid and then her snap.” Terry looked at me for a moment, then clearly remembered something then bolted out the door. What made him finally realize that I had a decent point, I have no idea. Taking a sip of my coffee and getting up from bed to head to the bathroom for a shower; if there is
I rolled my neck as I tried to get myself into my dress. Helen was kind enough to help me into my dress and finish getting ready; even Terry came by to ensure I had some coffee. He came in terrified, holding a cup of coffee out to me. I was curious about why he was so scared, but then I remembered a few years ago, Ash, Terry, and Mr. Woods had walked in when I was hungover and in a horrible mood. I may have lashed out at them but corrected myself after being caffeinated. None of them ever let me live that day down. Helen placed the veil with the flower crown on my head before stepping away and gasping softly, “You look stunning!” She exclaims. I smile and give her a twirl after she hands me my bouquet, “It’s almost time; are you ready?” I look at myself once again in the mirror, admiring the beautiful dress, the color of my hair, and the features of my face. I see my mother standing here, staring at me in this mirror. A slight tear slipped from my eye before I took a deep b
I went after Hailie after she stormed out of the study. The poor thing; I shouldn’t have sprung this on her, not this soon, not this day. Finally catching up to her, I pulled her into the closest room, which happened to be one of my old rooms. “I’m sorry,” I told her, trying to calm her down as I wrapped my arms around her. “I didn’t want to tell you anything before the wedding; I didn’t want to ruin our day.” She doesn’t meet my gaze. “How can…how can someone like that be my father?” She asks, tears pricking her eyes. “Why would he want to kill me?” I pulled her into my arms and held her, stroking her hair, “I don’t know, Hailie.” I whispered, “But we need to make a decision.” Hailie nods, “How can I make a decision like that?” She asks me; I shrug, unsure how to answer her question. How can someone make a decision like this? “Your mind must be going wild right now.” I whisper, touching her neck with my lips, “Would you like me to quiet your thoughts?” Hailie bit her lip and s
Ash’s hot breath was inches from my dripping cunt as he hooked my legs over his shoulders and gripped my hips as he pulled me into him, his tongue darting over and into my folds that sent delicious shock waves throughout my body. My toes curled as my fist balled into the sheets as Ash continued to devour my soul and every inch of hair standing on end. “Ash…” I moan. I heard him chuckle as he pushed my thigh a bit and entered a finger into me. “God!” I bit my lip as my hips lifted a bit before Ash pulled me back down to him, purring as he said, “You’re not going to get away from me that easily now, Mrs. Woods.” Continuing to rail my g-spot with his finger, he came up to my face, kissing my lips hungrily, “I’ve got so much to show you, Hailie. But tonight,” he kisses my lips once more, “I’m going to be as gentle as I can, my love.” Ash added in another finger, “Fuck!” I moaned as my hand clasped on his forearm as he drilled into me, “I plan to make you cum three times.” Ash tells
Ash was still asleep when I began to stir. His ordinarily neat hair was in complete disarray across his angelic face. The dark strands of his hair compliment his olive skin perfectly as he shifts on his side, wrapping a strong arm across my body and pulling me close. I bit my lip at the sight of him. This man, my childhood crush, is now my husband. If you had told me back then that I would be married to Ashton Alastor Woods, I’d say you were crazy. But now, here I am, in bed with him, not as his conquest, but as his wife and his love. In a moment like this, I wish my mother was here. To see me marry the man I love. Give me advice before we get married. To tell her when I get pregnant. When I give birth. I just hope she’s proud of me. When I got out of bed and got a robe on, I went to the bathroom to freshen up. I looked at my neck to see marks along it, no doubt from Ashton last night. After he had taken my virginity, I found myself not wanting to stop making love with him. Ho
Hailie was resting on the couch in the study as we waited for the Henderson twins and Terry to get here to go over a few things before she and I left for our honeymoon. I couldn’t stop my mind from wandering this morning; my gorgeous wife stood in nothing but a robe, her red curls falling loosely against her back. She was absolutely stunning. Now, she was curled up on the couch, just barely awake after the rough pounding I gave her just an hour or so ago. I was so worried about hurting her, but the way she rode me, the way she gave me control over her body, I couldn’t help myself. A knock on the door stirs Hailie from her nap, “Come in.” I called out. The door opens, and Terry, the Henderson twins, and a young woman, maybe about eighteen or so, walk into the study, “Nice to see you both again,” Angel says to us. Hailie comes to me, her arms crossed over her chest as I wrap an arm around her shoulders in a protective manner. I knew she was scared to be in their presence, but sh
As time went on, Ashton and I finally told everyone in our lives that we were expecting. Everyone was excited for us, but none as much as Terry! He’s already calling himself Uncle Terry. Ashton and I found a very nice apartment in the city and Helen has agreed to keep an eye on the house for us and we’ve decided to go back for vacations and major events. Maybe Lillian will have her wedding here one day. I shake my head at the thought; that Ash would rather die than hear of the thoughts of his little girl getting married before she was even born. I managed to get through the first trimester with no complications, or horrible symptoms. I’ve been busy trying to get the apartment cleaned up and pick out the nursery. Ashton was hard at work at the office so I’ve been trying to do things on my own; I’ve already been ordering things for Lily too. Things really seem to be looking up!I finally found her nursery! It’s a stunning bedroom with floor-to-ceiling windows that bring in gorgeous
I inwardly groaned as I listened to a client. She was going on and on about her neighbor doing something to her, but when I did my research on the matter to see if there were even grounds to make this a real case, I found out that this lady was one of the infamous Karens I have heard so much about. I was about ready to bang my head against the desk when a soft knock sounded on my door and opened slightly to reveal my stunning wife poke her head through, “Hailie?” I said; my client jerked her head to the door and with the snobbiest attitude I had ever heard, she said, “Um, excuse me, we’re in a meeting.” I was about to say something but my wife had a look on her face that basically said ‘This is not the day, and I am not the one.’ It must’ve been a long day. “Can you come back? Or are you deaf?” I took a breath to mentally prepare for the outburst my wife was about to give this woman. “Bitch, I have had a long day and I can tell that your case is not going anywhere,” Hailie told h
Just like I had told him, Rowan emailed me the documents I needed and I headed over to the twins' place for us to go over everything. Ash was at work so I had to go by myself but Angel and Will have become pretty good friends of ours since all this started going on. After what felt like hours of going over the documents, I could feel my mind pounding as Angel and Will explained everything to me. “So, we can help with the gun shipments, but for some of the other implements of what your organization does, I’m not sure if we’ll be much help,” Angel tells me; I raise my brow, “What do you mean?” I asked, curious about what he was talking about. He got up and came over to the other side of the desk and began to explain, “This portion here,” he points to the sales records of something called, Fairy Dust? “What the hell is Fairy Dust?” I ask, trying to make sense of it. Angel chuckled and began to explain, “It’s a drug.” Angel tells me, “It’s a mix of MDMA, cocaine, and a sprinkle o
The following week, we were still reeling from the thought that Hailie could be pregnant already. She had her period a week or so before the wedding, so she’ll be due soon if I remember right. Reaching the house of the Henderson twins, we started up the stairs and through the double doors. We were led through the corridor and to an office where the twins, Luz, an elderly couple, and a young man, probably their bodyguard. Hailie was obviously nervous as we walked in, “Ah, Ashton and Hailie, welcome.” Will said as he came over, shaking my hand and placing a kiss upon Hailie’s. The elderly couple stood and made their way towards us. Hailie took in a slight breath as the man extended his hand to her, “Hello, I am Rowan O’Malley,” he told her and then motioned to his wife, “This is my wife, Cathleen.” She smiled at them both, shaking their hands, “It’s a pleasure to meet you both.” Hailie tells them, “Though, I wish it was under a different circumstance.” He chuckles a bit, “Yes, w
I left Hailie alone to get us some food; she was still sleeping when I left so maybe she’ll be hungry when I get back. Deciding on the cafe we went to when she got her wedding dress, the same day she decided to see where things could go with us, I ordered us both some food and then made my way back toward the office. I just hope she’ll accept this peace offering. When I returned, I opened the door to my office and saw Hailie sitting up and crying, “Hailie?” I ask softly, setting down the food and going to her side; what could have happened in the hour I was gone? She mumbled something I didn’t quite catch, so I asked, “Hailie, what’s wrong?” She glanced up at me, smiling, “I’m pregnant.” I felt a weight slam into me when the words left her lips. “How do you know?” I asked; there’s no way she could know this soon, right? She handed me the note that her grandfather had given her. The note was a check for nearly a hundred grand, the note reading:Rayen, We know we weren’t there f
Finally calming down, I emerged from the bathroom. Ash and my grandparents stood in the waiting area; my grandmother’s eyes were red from her tears. When they saw me, their faces went grim, as if trying to hide that they were sorry that they found me, and weren’t doing a good job at it. Ash came up beside me, trying to comfort me, I gave him a soft smile, but he knew I was still pissed with him. “Hailie,” I heard my grandfather say, gaining my attention, “I know it doesn’t make up for not being a part of your life when you were little, but, here.” He handed me an envelope, “You don’t have to open it now, you can wait. But, please, know that we did love your mother, and we love you too.” I take the envelope from him, “Thank you,” I say, trying to be nice to them. “Perhaps,” my grandmother said softly, “you’ll allow us to be a part of your life now?” Hearing those words, looking at the people that I share blood with and not memories, I wasn’t sure what to say, but I knew what I co
Getting the call from Ash, I hurried and got ready and left for the city. I’m starting to wish we already lived in the city so I could get there faster. I pulled into a parking spot and started up the steps of the office. Ethan was in his office and waved at me through the glass, “Hey, Hailie,” Terry said as he met me in the waiting area. “Hey, Terry,” I glance around, “Where’s Ash? Is he in his office?” Before he could answer me, Ash came out of his office with an extremely nervous smile on his face. “Hey, beautiful.” He said anxiously, “Glad you could come by!” Why is he so nervous? “So, I need to talk to you real quick.” “Okay, let’s go to your office.” I tried to walk by him, but he stopped me, “No, let’s talk in Terry’s office.” I saw the terror on Terry’s face when Ash said that. I didn’t think anything of it as Ash led me to Terry’s office; dragging Terry with us. It was strange for us to be talking in Terry’s office, but what was really strange is that Terry lo
Trying to get some work done at the office, Terry came beside me, “Your wife is terrifying.” I chuckled as I went over some files, “Yeah, well, I knew that before I even thought about marrying her.” “And you still married her.” “My wife of nearly fifty-nine years was the most terrifying woman any man ever laid eyes on.” Ethan chimed in, “But she was also the most beautiful. My Ellena was a Wiccan, a woman with a heart as big as the ocean but a temper that would make the devil tremble at her feet.” Terry and I shared a glance, then looked back at Ethan, “And you married this woman because?” Ethan chuckled, “I’m the only man that showed her any real respect. Plus, she told me that if I was to ever hurt her, she’d turn me into a toad or something.” I raised a brow, “I still don’t see how you married her, but okay,” Terry said. “You’ve been quiet about everything that’s been going on,” I told Terry, but he shook his head. “What’s going on?” “I’ve been going over things with
I sat in the library, reading a book I had begun before Franklin passed away. Due to the craziness of the last few months, I could not read. I had not heard of the author, but the book seemed interesting. The door to the library creaked, and the scent of hot tea and peanut butter filled my senses. I look over the couch to see Ash walking in with a cup of tea, honey, and a plate of apple slices and peanut butter, “Hey, beautiful,” he said softly, “I thought you might want a snack.” I smiled, marking my spot in the book and taking the offering from him, “Thanks!” Ash moved a table closer so I could set everything down, and then he picked up my book. “Citadel, by C.M. Alongi?” He hummed, “Is it any good?” I nodded, unable to answer him since I had some apples in my mouth. Once I had swallowed, I took the book back. “I’m not far into it, but it seems interesting.” I explain, “I had started reading before your grandfather passed away, but when he did and then the engagement and t
