Rhett
6 Years Later
Laying on the bed, I watched the sunset over the crystal-clear lagoon wrapping around the side of the water villa we were staying in. I was waiting for my wife to finish getting ready for dinner. It was our last night there before heading off to the second part of our anniversary trip.
Today was our fifth wedding anniversary, and I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate than a candlelight dinner with the love of my life.
The past five years have been more than I ever hoped for. That was not to say everything had been easy. Given that we both had demanding jobs, we did everything possible to carve out as much time for one another. Family was just as important to her as it had always been and over the years, I’d grown closer to everyone. I didn’t think my wife and mother would ever have a close relationship, but seeing how happy she made me seemed to have thawed my mother exponentially.
Hearing the door to the bathroom open, I got up to get dressed when I saw her emerge, still donning her bathrobe. Looking down at my watch and seeing the time, I was confused as to why she wasn’t ready yet, especially given how long my wife took to get ready.
I was just about to ask her how much longer she’d need when she produced a box out of her pocket.
“What’s this?” I asked as I kissed the top of her head.
The coconut and mango scent from her hair filled my nose.
“I wanted to give you your present before dinner.”
Taking my hand, she walked back to the bed, sitting in the middle with her legs beneath her.
I stretched out beside her, propping myself up with one elbow and taking the box with the other. Lifting the lid, I saw an Oxblood Pin-dot Silk and Wool tie rolled up neatly in the center. Goosebumps settled over me, and I sat up straight as I immediately recognized it. It was one that belonged to my father. It was his favorite. The loss of him never went away. Every day, as I sat in what used to be his office, I was reminded of the remarkable man he was. Every day, I wished he was still with us, seeing that I found true love and knowing the happiness that would have brought him. My throat felt tighter as all those emotions bubbled to the surface. My hand timidly ran over the soft, smooth material.
“Where did you get this from?”
My voice was barely above a whisper.
“I called Kara a couple of weeks ago. I knew I’d need it for your present.”
Taking my other hand, she brought it to her lips, gently kissing each knuckle.
“I thought this would help with the main present. Go on, unravel it.”
I was so confused, but curiosity got the better of me. Gently, I unrolled it, and at the end, a tie pin pierced through it. Lifting it, I saw that it had been pinned to the inner lining of the box. As I pulled on, it raised the lid to what I now realized was a hidden compartment. Looking over at Serena, I saw her hands clenched so tightly under her chin that her knuckles had turned white. Her eyes were shining with unshed tears. Carefully lifting the lid, I looked down, and it felt as though all the air had been sucked out of my lungs.
Nestled under the lining was a sonogram. My mouth instantly went dry, and my tongue felt like lead.
After what felt like eons of staring at the image in my trembling hands, I looked over at my gorgeous wife.
“We’re having a baby?”
Tears gently rolled down her face, and her beautiful smile slowly stretched from ear to ear.
“Yes, we’re having a baby.”
Looking down at the picture again, I was in awe. And I knew I’d remember that moment for the rest of my life.
Spinning around, I scooped her up into my arms, and my lips crashed down onto her in a bruising kiss. I could taste the salty tears on her lips, although I was unsure if they were mine or hers. I never thought I would be able to love this woman more than I already did, but I did. Pushing her down on the bed, I continued kissing her. Pouring in every ounce of love I had for her. I swallowed the sounds of her moans which made my already hard cock pulse and seep with pre-cum. Breaking the kiss, I look down at my wife. My salvation. My angel who is carrying our child. Her curls fanned around the pillow, her lips were red and swollen, and her green eyes sparkled like the brightest emeralds. She looked like an ethereal mermaid. There were no words to describe how I was feeling.
Although she had her IUD taken out almost a year ago, we weren’t actively trying or pressuring it. Both of us simply wanted nature to take its course.
Opening up the belt of her robe, I eased her arms out until she was bare beneath me. She had never looked as beautiful as she did right then. Kissing my way down the column of her neck, I felt her pulse racing beneath my lips. Not wanting to miss an inch of skin, I kissed, bit, and licked along her collarbone. Her breathing increased as her chest lifted up and down faster and faster with each touch. Her brown nipples were erect, and I laved them with my tongue before gently nipping on them. She let out a deep moan, and my mind instantly wondered if they were more sensitive now. I continued my journey down her body until I got to her belly. My hands gently rubbed over her, and I only now noticed the slight firm curve of it. How hadn’t I noticed this? As my mind flitted back, I thought back and was only now piecing together her lack of drinking and being more tired than usual.
“How far gone are you?” I asked as I continued to kiss and lick down her hip to her inner thigh.
“Ten weeks,” she said in a gasp as I ran my tongue along her slit, which was already dripping.
“Rhett, please, I need you.”
“You have me.”
I continued lapping up and down her lips before focusing on her clit. Her legs clamped down around my head, and her body twisted and turned in pleasure. Her moans were growing increasingly stronger, and I couldn’t wait a second longer to be inside her.
Lifting myself back up and over her, I ran my aching cock along her wet lips. Leaning down, I captured her mouth with mine as I slid into her soft, wet heat.
“You have made me the happiest man in the world, Serena Chambers. My life, my love, my queen.”
