Chapter 10

Bryan

J aime gives me a smile as I come into the room, and I can't resist from dropping a quick kiss onto her lips. Two more weeks and she's all mine. April eighteenth can't come soon enough. We both have the week after off, but Jaime has to be back the following week so we're not going far. In fact, we're not really going anywhere except to our new home.

I've already started moving my stuff in and while she doesn't realize it yet, instead of taking everything she's packed up so far to my house, it's been going to the new house. Jake gave me a set of keys for it Friday and I'm anxious to get into it and make it our home. It truly is perfect, especially with the way Serena and Jasmine decorated it, using Jaime's Pinterest boards as inspiration for it.

I think she's going to love her home office just as much as she loves the bookstore. Which is officially reopened with a manager that is completely into the whimsical vibe Jaime designed for it and Maia's been working there after school and on Saturdays.

The wedding planning has been simple thanks to Jasmine's help. The only things that Jaime and I have disagreed on were inviting my parents which I was against, and having a prenup which she was against.

I won on my parents' issue, not wanting anyone there who isn't supportive of not only us but also marriage—happy, loving marriages. Jaime won on the prenup but I'm pretty sure I won just as much because she only got her way by distracting me with her amazing mouth on my cock. Then following it up with a pregnancy test that was positive.

It's been two days since she told me I'm going to be a father with her early detection test, and part of me still feels like it's a dream. Her breasts tell me it's not every time I have my hands on her though. Not only have they grown in just a couple weeks, but they're even more sensitive now, making her come harder when I play with them, and I can't wait to enjoy her sweetness even more. Even if Jake might take a swing or let Jesse take one when they learn our first baby is already on the way.

She'll be about six weeks at the wedding. I was excited but also a bit worried what it would mean for the wedding.

I want her to be able to wear the dress she fell in love with without any issues and told her that, making sure the date we picked was still going to work. She just shook her head laughing a bit at my question. Which forced me to admit that I'm pretty clueless about what to expect and didn't know if her growing cleavage would cause her problems or not.

She promised it wouldn't and I'm getting more and more excited to know that I'm going to be a dad. That I created a life with the woman I fucking adore more than anything.

Dinner is enjoyable but my head lifts when the sound of footsteps sound in the hallway. Because of the wedding, Annie decided to make this week their mandatory dinner so everyone's here except maybe Kayla, who's Maddie's sister. Although she gets a pass even on the mandatory ones, she usually comes when she can. She hasn't been to as many since she started dating her newest girlfriend Kate. They'll both be at the wedding though.

"Not too late am I?" a deep voice asks, and Annie jumps up, hurrying towards the newcomer as do the rest of the girls, and I chuckle a bit at Jordan's expression. It's clear he's not one to push to be in the center of the spotlight even if he does play professional basketball.

"Are you home for the summer?" Annie asks and he nods, giving her another hug before hugging Jaime again.

"And to meet whoever thinks he's marrying one of my baby sisters," he teases her, making her blush a bit before she comes back around to my side. I wrap my arm around her, pulling her onto my lap enjoying the way she sinks into my hold. "Well, guess that's answer enough, huh?"

"Yeah, we've decided he can join the family," Jesse states, patting Jordan's shoulder as he comes around, taking Jaime's empty seat giving Jennie another hug.

"Let me get you a plate," Annie says, buzzing around, and that energy follows us the next two weeks.

Between work and wedding plans, I'm able to keep Jaime from learning that my house is no longer mine and that I've moved entirely out. My stuff beyond the day-to-day things I need are at our soon to be home, but I've been staying at the apartment that Ethan apparently used before his wedding to Jackie. I figure it's a good omen seeing how happy they are together still, and while my girl is frustrated about our lack of alone time, she's not as upset over it thanks to the morning sickness that hit her hard a couple days after that family dinner.

How no one realizes our little secret I don't know, but none of the guys look like they want to kill me as we settle into our spots. It's at Jake and Annie's with just a small group of guests, well other than her family which is fifty plus people just with her siblings and their families alone.

My breath catches in my chest when my princess hits the end of the aisle with Jake, looking every bit of what she is in a gorgeous dress. It's puffy on the bottom but not overwhelming so, and the top shows off how tiny she is, even with our baby growing in her belly. It's lace with three-quarter length sleeves and some netting up along her chest covering more of it and I'm glad when I realize the photos will be in the papers. No one should get to see my girl looking sexy but me.

"You look stunning, princess," I whisper to her when Jake moves away after settling her hand in mine.

"Thank you daddy," she teases, making my body seize up at the twinkle in her eye along with the fact that she's making me a real daddy and I promise in my vows to never be like mine.

Her sweet lips tempt me a bit too much when she's declared mine entirely, and I laugh when I feel a tap on my shoulder as it drags out a bit too long it seems.

"Just trying to keep your bride from being alone on her wedding night," my friend Cal says. He motions towards Jamison who's standing behind him but watching me closely and I laugh softly seeing the similar look on Adam's face behind him.

Jaime wanted Jillian, Natalie, and Jasmine to stand up with her, which meant finding three people to be here on short notice to stand up with me. Cal and I have known each other since the academy and was an easy choice as my closest friend, but other than him, I have more acquaintances than friends. So I was glad when Jamison and Adam agreed to do it, plus it meant them not going after someone for simply touching their wives.

The afternoon slipped around to early evening and by the time late evening arrived, I was more than ready to get my wife to myself. My baby might be planted in her belly already, but I haven't tasted her sweet pussy in almost a week now and I'm quickly losing it.

"Do you want to change before we leave?" I ask lifting her face my way and the smile that lights her eyes fills me with pleasure.

"Are you going to tell me where we're going finally, or at least where we're going tonight? How do I know what to bring if you don't tell me, hmm?" she returns and I grin, giving her a soft kiss unable to resist her lips.

"The only thing you need to bring is yourself, your smile, and our baby," I add the last part by her ear and the shiver that runs through her makes my cock pulse in my pants. Thank god I wore the tightest underwear I could find to keep the beast under control today. "We're staying somewhere special in town tonight. I'm more than happy to help you out of your dress if you want. I'll enjoy taking you in it and I think daddy's little princess will enjoy it too, won't she?"

"Yes, please," she sighs, melting into my kiss until I can't stand it another moment.

I stand, lifting her into my arms and call out our goodbyes, bringing some chuckles from the group, and if there are glares from her brothers, I don't give a damn. She's mine entirely finally and I'm going to enjoy every inch of her tonight.

I get her out to the limo without being stopped except by Jake, but I don't begrudge the man the opportunity to give his daughter a kiss before I take her away. He could have easily made my life hell to keep me from her, so I let him, and Annie, give her hugs and kisses before sweeping her back into my arms again to get her home.

I distract her as we pull down the driveway waiting until we're out of the car to show her the house. "What in the…daddy?" she says, looking up at me, her eyes shining with hope but also worry and I press a soft kiss to her lips to quiet it.

"Welcome home, princess," I state carrying her over the threshold then head to the little table that has a huge bouquet of flowers and the note from her family on it.

"Bryan…what's going on?" she asks as I set her down to pass over the note. Her hand covers her mouth as she reads the little letter which is mostly from Jake, but Annie, Joe, Jesse, Julie, Serena and Jasmine all put their own little well wishes in it too.

"So, do you like it?" I ask when she just stands there, looking from the letter, to me, to the space around us that she can easily see and back again.

"Like? Are you kidding me?" she says, her eyes shining a bit brightly with tears that makes me hold my breath. "I love it. All of it but you didn't…"

"Your family started the construction of it well before I got around to asking you to be mine—hell before I even asked you out on our first date. I guess they saw from the start that we were supposed to be together and wanted to give you something that you'd love."

"But your house…" she starts, and I quiet her with a soft kiss.

"I sold it, signed the papers a little over a week ago, and that money then went into this place," I add as her eyes widen a bit more. "Your dad told me about it that day at Sunday dinner after they grilled me, suggested it so I could feel that I contributed to it somehow. Most of your family knows about it—well the guys, not sure which of the wives do. I was told to not mention it to Jillian because she can't keep a secret apparently…"

"She can't," Jaime says with a laugh as her face lights up. "It's why she ignored me that Thursday and Friday when she was helping you set up the proposal. She almost slipped Friday night, mentioned seeing the photo I took of that blue teddy I wore to your house. I wasn't sure how to go about it when I put it on that morning. To show up like I did or send the photo to you that evening to see what you'd do. She was able to play it off, but she usually ends up spoiling surprises."

"It's a good thing you didn't send me that photo, princess. If you had, I'd have been the one getting pulled over because nothing would have stopped me from getting to you as fast as possible," I promise her, lifting her into my arms to take her up to our bedroom.

"Do you want to see what's under this dress, daddy?" she teases as we reach it, and I almost hit the floor from going lightheaded when she licks my neck and all the blood rushes to my cock.

"After I've fucked my wife in her princess dress," I growl, making short work of my pants, releasing my cock from the tight shorts, and push her skirt up as I lay her down on our new bed. The bottom of her outfit easily slides to the side, letting me fill her with a hard thrust.

I take her hard and fast, pushing her over twice before I come, still painfully hard and needing more. Jaime's smile tells me it took the edge off but wasn't nearly enough and I couldn't be happier to know she's as hungry for more as I am.

My lips claim hers soft and slow as I ease her wedding dress off her body and the teddy underneath it is just as fucking sweet with the floral lace the same color as her eyes that runs the length of it, but also sexy with the sheerness that barely covers the rest of her. I run my hands all along her body, smiling when the lace over her breasts easily slides, letting her skin pop out for me to taste her tight buds.

I leave them aching and wet as I kiss my way down her covered stomach, moving further until I can press a kiss over the top of her mound. As easily as the bottoms slid to the side, I know I can fuck her in this pretty thing and that's something I'm eager to do now.

I lift her leg, resting it on my shoulder and let out a curse seeing why the bottoms slipped aside letting me have her so easily. A growl slides out of my throat as the material parts in the middle, giving me full access to my princess' pussy.

"Daddy!" she screams as I push her over again and again until she can't stand any longer, and I lay her back, praising my princess when she comes on my cock over and over.

"One more, give daddy one more and then my sweet little princess can rest," I promise as she tries to run from my mouth on her breasts. The material is entirely see-through from it, and it makes me even harder knowing she's still wearing this sweet little thing.

"Please daddy, give me one more," she pleads, and I work her fast and hard, pulling it from her. Watching her body seize up with it sends me over with her, but my cock like always can't seem to go down without her mouth taking the last of my cum for the night.

"My sweet princess deserves a treat for being so good, coming so hard and so much for daddy," I tease, and it's my turn to seize up entirely as she plays my cock with her mouth until I can't even see from the intensity of my orgasm as I come down her throat.

I pull her up holding her tight as breath returns to my body, smiling against her soft kisses and whispers of love. "I love you too, princess. My wife."

"I love you so much. My husband, my daddy—our daddy," she adds resting my hand on her belly, her little one on top of mine.

"My life," I hum, watching her succumb to sleep. I rest for another minute before slipping into the bathroom, getting a washcloth before going back to take care of my princess. I gently ease the teddy off her, making sure not to rip this one. Even if she never wears it again, I'm keeping it.

My girl is a deep sleeper when she's pleasured out, and I slide her nightie over her head in case she wakes in the middle of the night to go get something to drink. She's adorably shy about walking around naked, but it makes sense since she grew up with a lot of people always in the house.

I go back to the bathroom and grab one of the makeup remover cloths that Serena stocked the bathroom with, kissing Jaime's cheek when her face is clean, before letting myself join her. It's daddy's job to take care of her and I won't fail her—not ever.

∞∞∞

A low grumble falls from my throat as I watch for Jaime to come back from the bathroom. More than anything I want to pull this damn tie off and unbutton my collar—well, not more than wanting my wife back in my arms I'll admit.

I grow more and more possessive over her every day, especially with her stomach starting to spout the sexiest little bump. I'm dying to tell everyone she's having my baby, but she's wanted to wait. First, because of Maia, Ashton, and Jillian's graduations. Then because of Jillian's surprising announcement that she was getting married—to Jaime's boss of all people.

Although, that's been a plus since the man's let Jaime work from home when she hasn't felt well the last three weeks. We've hit twelve weeks now but she's still having some major bouts of nausea the doctor says should hopefully subside by twenty weeks if it doesn't in the next week or so.

It's the end of May and I'm pretty sure if we don't tell everyone now, Maia's birthday and her almost certain engagement to Jeffery will hold Jaime back again. She just doesn't want to step on anyone's time to shine but she deserves this…even if not telling has kept Jake and Jesse off my back so far.

"And this is my son-in-law, I think you've met," Jake says drawing my attention off the hallway to the bathroom and towards him. "Detective Bryan Taylor…"

"Oh, yes, we have," Grace Elliott says, her eyes wide with shock. "I've been out of town longer than I thought it seems," she adds her eyes roaming over me and disgust fills me fast.

She hasn't been out of town. She's been in rehab but that's not what disgusts me. No, it's the fact that Jake just said I was married to his daughter and she's still eyeing me like she wants a taste of what belong to my princess.

"Yes, you did leave town soon after the Heart Ball, didn't you, Grace?" Jaime says, slipping into my hold and my body relaxes as I tip her face up to me, studying her closely.

"You feeling okay, princess?" I ask quietly, but not quite a whisper making Jake's brow lift overhearing it.

"I'm fine, daddy," she teases drawing a shocked gasp from Grace. "We're both fine."

"Jaime!" Annie says drawing attention towards our group and Jillian hurries over with her fiancé who is one of the only ones other than us that know she's pregnant. He only knows because she got sick at the office, and he called me worried about her. Which had me storming in to make damn sure that he kept his concern off my wife. Only to learn that he was head over heels in love with Jillian.

"Something you haven't told us sweetheart?" Jake asks, a smile on his lips as Annie slips her hand onto his chest.

"I'm pregnant," Jaime admits drawing more attention our way as Jillian lets out a huge squeal of excitement that makes her fiancé wince a bit.

"Why aren't you more excited?" Jillian demands looking up at him with a little huff at his simple nod our way. "I'm getting another niece or nephew."

"I'll be plenty excited when it's our turn, sweet girl," he says making her melt, her smile returning fully. "Plus, I don't want to find an angry detective who carries a gun in my face again. Once was plenty."

"What?" Jillian says looking between the three of us in confusion. "When did that happen?"

"About three weeks ago," Jaime admits making Jillian's brows lift higher. "I got sick at the office, and he called Bryan who got a bit jealous because another man was worrying over me. Bryan calmed down when I said he was only worried because if something happened to me, you'd be more worried and since he was in love with you, he didn't want you worrying about anything. I added that you were in the middle of your finals on top of being the day before your birthday and he got it."

"So you've known she was pregnant for three weeks and didn't tell me?" Jillian demands, gaping at him pulling a chuckle from me that I hide in Jaime's hair.

"It wasn't my news to tell and unlike some people," he teases her, putting color in her cheeks, "I know how to keep a secret."

"If you weren't so hot I'd be mad at you right now…"

"No you wouldn't, sweet girl," he counters, making Jaime laugh as Jillian settles entirely when he pulls her into his arms.

"I'm not sweet…" Jillian grumbles.

"You are when you're not being a fierce sister first," he muses and the smile on Jillian's face reminds me entirely of Jaime's when I have her wrapped up in mine. I won't argue too much if I have to let Jaime stand up with someone else at Jillian's wedding I suppose. After all, everyone deserves to be as happy as I am with my princess and our little one that's coming in December.
