Chapter Twenty
“So, what’s the plan?” Harlow asked.
Big Dick looked up from his niece to his sister. Her brows were raised as she got to her feet. “Plan?”
“Now that you’re engaged? Have you thought about where you’re getting married? How you’re getting married?”
“There has to be a way?” Harlow asked.
“Hunter married me at Christmas, at the clubhouse, and to me, that was perfect. Do you even know what Larissa wants?”
“She wants to be married to me.”
“Yes, that we already know, but do you have any other ideas? Does she want her father to give her away as well as officiate the wedding? Are you doing it at church? At the clubhouse? A location in town? Does it have to be big and fancy? Does Larissa want to wait until after she has given birth?”
“You doing this to terrify me?”
“I’m not doing anything of the sort. What I am trying to do is get you prepared,” Harlow said. “Proposing is one thing, but there is everything else that comes after. Also, is Mom taking the time to now visit Larissa?”
Big Dick groaned.
“I’m guessing Mom has become a permanent feature, right? I wonder if she has that big old ring binder she hoped to use on my wedding, but seeing as my husband proposed and married me all on the same day, that was not a problem for me.”
“Has anyone ever told you, you’re a pain in the ass?” Big Dick asked.
“Quite often. Now ask me if I care.”
He laughed and then reluctantly handed his niece right over to his sister. “She is precious.”
“She really is.” Harlow sighed and then placed a sleeping Rosa in her crib. “Mom did advise me to be careful when it came to how long and how often I hold my baby.”
“Don’t listen to her.”
“Hunter and I enjoy sleeping. Mom said she didn’t listen to reason with Erick, and held him all the time.”
“Okay, seeing as Erick can be a dick, listen to Mom.”
Harlow laughed. “You see that large teddy bear there?” She pointed toward the corner of the room. They were in Harlow and Hunter’s sitting room.
“What about it?”
“Erick brought me that, along with a year’s supply of diapers.”
“What?”
“Yeah, I was shocked as well, but he said he got a good discount. He also volunteered to help babysit if I ever need it. He’s changing.”
Big Dick sighed. “I know. He actually calls to talk to me now. He even invited me to hang out at his place, watch a few movies.”
“Yeah, he did the same to Hunter, but he just told him to fuck off. At the same time, he did say it was no offense, but as a married man, he preferred to watch television with his wife.”
Big Dick laughed. “You really do have him on a tight leash.”
“I don’t have him on anything at all. If he wants to go and watch television with my brother, he can. I’m not going to force Hunter to do anything he doesn’t want to do,” Harlow said.
“Wow.”
Harlow laughed.
“You do realize that you have him eating out of your hand?”
Harlow rolled her eyes. “I do not. I’m growing up.” She got to her feet. “Do you want another drink?”
“Nah, I better get going. I need to intercept Mom from driving my woman away from me, and, you know, choosing not to marry me.”
“Larissa would never do that. She still loves you, you know.”
She hadn’t said it. But then, he also hadn’t told her he loved her either.
“What’s that?” Harlow asked.
He looked toward his sister, and she folded her arms as she came closer to him.
“What?”
“There’s something on your face, a look, what is it all about?” she asked.
“It’s nothing.”
She shook her head. “No, that is not nothing. That is very much something.”
“I’m going now.”
“You know, Larissa doesn’t hold a grudge, and she is known for being nice and forgiving.”
“Yeah, that’s true, but I broke her heart.”
“Is that why you proposed to her, to help fix how she wanted to have kids?” Harlow asked.
“No, I asked her to marry me because I don’t want to live without her. I love her. I want to keep her as mine.”
“That is all you need,” Harlow said.
Big Dick let himself out and made his way toward his bike. He rode back home.
It was already the New Year, Christmas leading up to the end of the year had been a bit of a whirlwind.
Christmas had not been bad with his parents and Jonah.
Larissa and his mother had cooked dinner.
He did try to help, but they herded him right out of the kitchen, which meant he was left with his father and father-in-law, which hadn’t been as awkward as he thought it was going to be.
His parents, as well as Jonah, stayed for three days before going back home.
Once they were alone, he and Larissa made love in every room of the house. Now, it was officially their home, and it was the best freaking feeling in the world.
Larissa didn’t have to work, as Ava had decided to close the bakery for the final two weeks of the year.
New Year’s Eve, he and Larissa went to the clubhouse to celebrate, and he made love to her in his old room, as music along with fireworks seemed to fill every noise decibel. It didn’t matter because it was just him and Larissa. Their own little comfortable cloud.
Of course, as he arrived home, he saw that his mother’s car was already parked in his driveway, and that meant she was inside. He ran a hand down his face and sighed.
Entering their home, he heard his mother laughing, but what surprised him and made him hesitate was the sound of Larissa’s laughter.
He found them in the sitting room. His mother’s wedding binder was open, as well as a couple of family albums.
“Ah, I should have known,” he said.
“What? I thought Larissa would like to see her future husband in all his glory, from baby through to the grown man.”
“You wanted to be a fireman,” Larissa said, holding up a little picture. “This is so cute.”
He looked at her. “What do you want for dinner?” he asked.
Larissa laughed. “You don’t need to worry about it. Your mom and I made beef stew, and it’s in the slow cooker.”
“What’s Dad up to?” Big Dick asked.
Nancy Erickson burst out laughing. “He’s enjoying the peace and quiet of me not being there, silly.”
His mother got to her feet and embraced him.
“I was just going over a few details with Larissa on what kind of wedding she wanted. I’ve been talking to Jonah, and we’re thinking a wedding in July. The babies will have been born then. Also, it will be summer so we can invite a lot of the town. I think it would be a big event.”
Big Dick looked past his mother’s shoulder to see that was a terrible idea for Larissa.
“Mom, we can talk about this another time. Larissa looks a little tired,” he said.
His mother gasped and quickly turned toward his woman. “You’re right, you are looking tired.” Larissa didn’t say anything. “Silly me, I should have known. Don’t you worry about a thing, honey. We’ll talk more, and we have plenty of time to arrange everything.”
Nancy kissed Larissa’s head, and then turned to him, but he followed his mother to the door.
He stayed there, watching as she got inside the car and then drove off.
Once he was sure she was not going to turn around and attempt to come back, he closed the door and leaned against it for a second.
Flicking the lock into place, he stepped into the sitting room to find Larissa closing up the massive ring binder of ideas.
“You hate my mother’s plan,” he said.
“It’s a fantastic plan.”
“There is a but coming along.”
“No, not at all. I love it, and your mother is right, it will give us a lot of time to plan, and our twins will be born by then.”
Big Dick went to her and cupped her cheeks, forcing her to look at him. “Stop. This is not about what is good for my mom, or your dad. This is about what you want, Larissa. This is your wedding.”
“It’s our wedding.”
“And tell me, what do you want?” he asked. “There’s only me and you right now. Talk to me.”
“I, uh, I don’t want to have a big wedding, and I don’t want to have it in July.”
He nodded his head as he had a feeling that was what was bothering her. “When do you want it?”
“As soon as possible. I don’t care that I’m pregnant. If you want to marry me for real, then I want us to be married before our babies come. Does that scare you?”
“Not at all. I can make the arrangements and have us in Vegas by tonight.”
“What?”
“You heard me. You want to get married. We can do this now.”
“But, what about your mom and my dad, and everyone?”
“Screw them.”
“Seriously?”
“Yeah, seriously. We can have another event, or there can be something else we can do to celebrate. This is our wedding. Not theirs.” He stroked some of her hair back from her face. “And I will not sacrifice your happiness for anything.”
He knew his mother would be pissed. Jonah would probably be upset with him, but he could handle all of that, as long as Larissa was happy. That was all he cared about.
“Tell me, what do you want to do?”
She nibbled her lip, and he knew she was struggling with the decision. Big Dick was not going to make it for her. He wanted to be married to her and have the rest of his life with her. That was never in question for him.
“I want to ... I want to get married now,” she said.
****
Larissa stared down at her wedding band. It fit perfectly.
Big Dick had already been prepared with matching rings. On the inside there was a small inscription. She was shocked to see George’s Property inscribed on the inside of her ring, and on his, Larissa’s Property. He had got the rings specially made, and it was just the sweetest touch.
The wedding had been completely tacky. They hadn’t gotten a wedding dress or a tuxedo. Larissa had been wearing an empire waist dress, so that her stomach had plenty of room, and Big Dick had been in jeans, without his leather cut. They had gotten married two hours ago.
For their meal afterward, they shared some burgers and a large portion of cheesy fries, because she didn’t want anything else.
Now, back at the hotel room, Big Dick was in the shower and Larissa sat on the edge of the bed, waiting for that feeling to come over her. The panic. The fear.
Nothing came.
She stared at the wedding bands, and it was like she willed for some feeling to overtake this happiness. But nothing came.
No fear. No panic. Just complete and total happiness.
This was not a mistake. This had been the right thing to do.
Larissa lifted her head as soon as the bathroom door opened, and Big Dick stepped inside the bedroom. He wore a towel around his waist, which left all of his heavily inked chest and body on display.
“Are you having second thoughts?” he asked.
“No, are you?”
“Never.”
“And I didn’t think Big Dick would ever get married.” She offered him a smile.
“I was waiting for the right woman, and that woman was you, Larissa,” he said, coming into the room and then crouching down in front of her.
“What if you regret this?” she asked.
“I won’t.”
“How do you know that?”
“Because I know myself, and I know what I’m capable of. Marrying you is the best decision I’ve ever made.” He reached out and tucked some of her hair behind her ear. “It will always be the best decision I’ve made, being with you. You’re an amazing woman, Larissa. Always have been. Always will be.”
He cupped her face, and she pressed her cheek against his palm. It felt so good to be near him.
“I love you,” Big Dick said.
She had closed her eyes, just enjoying the closeness with him. “What?”
“I’ve been wanting to tell you for a long time how I feel.” He took a deep breath.
She knew he had told her he loved her, but she hadn’t believed him.
“You’re my world, Larissa. You and our babies are everything I want. I never knew I wanted a wife and kids. But now, you’re all I can think about. You’re all I want.”
She couldn’t help but grab his face and kiss him hard. Big Dick slowly slid his hands up her body, and she was pressed back against the bed as he moved on top of her. She felt the firmness of his knee as it pressed between her thighs.
She moaned, followed by a whimper as he cupped her between the thighs.
His palm set her on fire with need as he pressed against her.
He moved the silk negligee out of the way, and then his hand touched her pussy.
She cried out as he pressed a single finger between her core, and then dipped down, sliding deep inside her. It felt so good.
He pumped within her, adding a second finger, drawing them up, and then stroking against her pussy.
“You’re so wet for me,” he said.
Her only response was to moan. He chuckled.
“I want to be inside you so badly.” He growled the words against her lips, and then kissed her.
She moaned for more, and she didn’t know how it happened, but as they were kissing and teasing, Big Dick helped to move her up the bed so that she was against the sheets.
His mouth left hers, and he started to kiss down her neck. He took a quick second to bite down at the pulse at her neck, before suddenly grabbing the fabric of her negligee and literally tearing it off her body.
The pleasure was instant. It shocked her to the core. She didn’t want him to stop.
And Big Dick wasn’t done using his mouth on her body, as he started to kiss down, taking his sweet time on each of her nipples, sucking on the hard buds, then kissing down toward her pussy.
He spread her legs and Larissa gripped the sheets beneath her as his tongue began to work between her thighs. He stroked over her clit, and then circled down, going up toward her clit, then down, as he started to work his tongue inside her.
The instant hit of pleasure took her breath away. She couldn’t think, nor could she focus. It was an incredible feeling, and as he built her higher and higher, Larissa didn’t think there was much more she could take.
He pushed her right over the edge and she screamed his name, begging for more.
She didn’t want him to stop. The pleasure was so intense, and then it was like she couldn’t take anymore.
At the right point, he stopped and worked his way up her body, moving between her thighs.
He took possession of her lips, and she melted against him.
She felt the hard press of his cock as he slowly slid inside.
Her stomach was quite large, but Big Dick didn’t mind as he pressed inside her. He took hold of her hands, pressing them above her head.
“You’re everything to me. You know that, right?” he asked.
She nodded her head.
“I’m going to give you the world.”
Larissa didn’t want the world. All she wanted was this man, right here. To her, he was perfect, and that was all she wanted. Him.
She moaned his name, and he growled hers as he started to pump inside her, building up speed, taking her higher and higher.
He felt so good, and this was surreal to her. Her husband. The man she had fallen in love with. The man she had come to forgive. Hating him hadn’t been easy, had felt like it was killing part of her soul.
She loved him.
He was her whole world, and that was the way it was going to stay.
