WILDER
“ G ood to hear your voice,” I tell Huxley over the phone. “It’s been a bit. Didn’t know if you and Cassian changed your mind.”
“About joining you on your crazy fever dream to build a mountain town? No way. We’ll be there next month.
I was actually calling to ask what supplies we can bring with us.
I was going to do a big trip and load up on everything before heading up the mountain.
I know you said you had been working on the foundations for our cabins, and I’m planning on setting up a temporary shelter for Cass and myself until we get the rest built out. ”
I nod, even though I know he can’t see me.
It’ll be surreal to see my fellow Rangers after years apart.
We were all in the same unit. We were all there that day.
Huxley had some nasty wounds and endured several surgeries to bring him back to life.
Cassian was lucky enough to make it out with only minor injuries. Elliot, on the other hand…
“...and send me a list of groceries a few days before we take off. I’ll ensure we get that taken care of, too,” Huxley says.
Shit. I wasn’t paying attention to what he listed off, but I’m sure he’s got a handle on it.
Before he was in the military, Huxley worked construction for his family’s business.
His father is a contractor, and taught Huxley everything he knows.
Truthfully, I’m thankful he’ll be here for the next steps of planning and building for the town.
“Sounds good,” I tell him, hoping he doesn’t call me out.
“Great. Next, I want to run a few ideas by you.”
At that moment, my beautiful woman walks outside, joining me in our backyard. We’ve officially been together for two months, and every day with her is a blessing. She’s looking particularly radiant today, the sunlight tangling in her dark hair and silhouetting her curves.
I’m putting the final touches on Ari’s writing nook today, and I can’t wait for her to see it.
“Did you hear anything I just said?”
“Uh…” I blink a few times, trying to focus, but Ari is walking toward me, and all I can think about is kissing her sweet, pouty lips.
“Tell Ari hello from me,” my friend says with a chuckle. He knows by now I can’t concentrate on anything when my woman is around.
I never would have believed it took me running up this mountain to find the love of my life. I guess I’m living proof that love finds you when you need it most and expect it the least.
Hanging up the phone, I slip it into my back pocket before opening my arms for a hug. Ari snuggles against me and then gasps when she gets a glimpse at her office space.
“Oh, my god, Wilder, it’s perfect!” she exclaims.
Ari slips out of my embrace, making me grunt. I don’t like not touching her, but seeing her bright, sparkling smile as she looks over the desk I built is worth a few moments apart.
The little writing nook/office space may not look like much from the outside, but inside, it’s filled with built-in bookshelves, a writing desk, a comfy lounge chair with pillows and blankets, as well as a mini kitchen in case Ari wants to make a snack or drink during the day while she’s writing.
My gorgeous girl spins, her face lit up with all the love and joy in the world. My heart bursts with so much happiness that I hardly recognize myself. Not all that long ago, I was at the lowest, loneliest place of my life, and now…
“I have some news, and I’m not sure how to tell you, so I’m just going to say it,” she suddenly announces.
I sense some nervousness, but mostly, I think my woman is happy. My interest is piqued.
I close the distance between us, holding her hands in mine. “Whatever it is, I’m here, and we’ll face it together,” I assure her.
Ari nods and takes a deep breath. “I’m pregnant. I wasn’t sure at first, but the last time we went down the mountain into town, I snuck some pregnancy tests in the basket. I just took all four, and they all say the same thing: you’re gonna be a daddy.”
My mind goes completely blank, and for a moment, I can’t feel my body. Me? Having a kid? With the most precious, kind, and beautiful woman in the world? I don’t deserve this.
“Well, are you going to say something? I know it’s unexpected, though maybe it shouldn’t have been. I mean, it’s not like we’ve ever used protection. Are you mad?”
Ari blinks up at me, those green eyes turning excited to concerned.
“I can’t believe it,” I manage to choke out.
Ari furrows her brow.
I’m messing this up. “Happy. So happy,” I say, hoping to put her at ease.
Her lips twitch into a smile, but it doesn’t quite match her anxious eyes. “It’s fast, and we never really talked about it. I know it’s a lot to take in–”
“I’m so damn excited to meet our kid,” I tell her, trying to think of any way I can express my joy. “I’m so happy we’re pregnant. You’re right, it was unexpected, but now…”
I scoop my woman off her feet, carrying her inside our home. She kicks her feet and snuggles against my chest, making me feel invincible. I sit on the couch, tucking Ari into my side.
“I love you with everything in me,” I whisper. “Love you in a way I didn’t know was possible. This morning, I didn’t think I had any more room in my heart for love, but then you said you were pregnant, and my heart doubled in size. I’ll always have enough love for you and our family.”
“I love you, too, Wilder. Forever and always. Me and our baby.”
I grin at my girl. “Our baby,” I whisper, loving the way she blushes. I lean down and kiss her cheeks because how can I not?
I kiss her again before trailing my lips down her jaw, her neck, her collarbone. I gently push her back so she’s lying on the couch and continue my trail of kisses between her perfect tits. I can’t wait to see them swell. Fuck, now I think about it, I can’t wait to see her pregnant.
My lips trail down her ribcage, and I lift her shirt to kiss her belly. Resting my forehead there, it finally clicks into place. This is everything. We’re starting a family together. She’s fucking mine, all mine, and now she’s tied to me in every way.
I close my eyes when Ari’s fingers weave into my hair and massage my scalp. “You’re growing my baby in there,” I whisper against the soft skin of her belly before kissing it again.
“Yeah.” She giggles.
“That’s so fucking sexy,” I growl. And it is. Jesus, I want to be inside her right this fucking second.
“It is?”
Instead of answering her, I hook my thumbs into the waistband of her shorts and panties, peeling them down her legs to reveal her perfect, pink little pussy. Without any warning, I dive into her sweet perfection, licking up her slit and circling her clit.
Ari cries out in surprise at the unexpected invasion, but soon, I taste her arousal.
I suck and lick and nip at her folds, her thighs, her hard little clit.
She’s soaking me, my face sloppy with her juices.
I fucking love it. She comes hard and fast, her pussy pulsing around my tongue as I lap up her release.
“Again,” I growl into her tight, hot cunt.
Ari moans as her hips buck, grinding herself against my mouth.
I grab her hips and pull her even closer until I'm suffocating inside her sweet heat.
I lick her clit again and again until my tongue is numb.
She sucks in a huge breath and cries out her climax.
I crawl up her body and kiss her hard and deep.
She takes everything I give her, moaning at her taste in my mouth.
Not wasting any more time, I rip her flimsy t-shirt down the middle, loving that she’s not wearing a bra.
Ari giggles at first but then moans as I suck one tit into my mouth.
She bows her back off of the couch, thrusting her chest further into me.
I kiss and lick my way to her other breast and give it the same attention.
I leave her briefly to unbuckle my belt and pull off my jeans and underwear.
I grab one of her ankles and place it over the back of the couch while the other rests on my shoulder, spreading her wide open for me.
Looking down at this stunning woman, chest heaving, pussy dripping, eyes fogged over with lust, I can’t help but groan.
“So fucking beautiful. God, you’re perfect, Ari.”
I line myself up and enter her tight little channel in one long thrust. I growl at the sensation of her silky heat wrapped around my aching cock.
Ari throws her head back and claws at the couch cushions.
She gushes for me, making it easy to slide in and out of her.
I pick up my pace, needing her to come again, needing to show her how much I love her, how I’m never leaving her.
“Mine,” I grunt as I piston in and out of her.
“Y-yours, oh, fuck, fuck, Wilder, I can’t hold on…”
“Let go, Ari. I love watching you fall apart.” Her orgasm slams into her, causing her body to shake and convulse beneath me. “Jesus Christ, that’s it.”
I fuck her through her orgasm as she whimpers and writhes. I can’t hold off much longer, but I don’t want this to end. I want to be inside her forever.
I pull out of her as she moans, snapping her eyes open and searing me with her lustful gaze.
Standing, I tug her to me and spin her, guiding her to lean over the arm of the couch.
I grab her hair and push her forward onto her elbows.
Her previous releases drip down her thighs as I press my cock against her wet pussy.
I tease her as I wait for exactly the right moment.
My cock spurts cum at the sight of Ari bent over the couch for me. I grit my teeth and take a calming breath, trying to keep my shit together. I need her to surrender to her pleasure one more time. Ten more times. A thousand more times. But for now, I’ll settle for her fourth orgasm of the day.
“Wilder, please, please get inside me.”
“Fuck, baby, you know I’ll always give you what you need.”
I tease her a little longer, rubbing my cock up and down her slit. When she starts shaking and whimpering, I slam my thick dick deep inside her, triggering another orgasm. I roar with pride over how much pleasure I can give my woman and how well she takes my many inches.
My hips snap as I buck and thrust, my heavy balls slapping her pussy. Every time we join, we make the most obscene and glorious wet, smacking sounds. It makes me impossibly harder.
I can’t tell if she’s having one long orgasm or if she’s had five more, but her pussy has been squeezing and snapping around me the entire time. I loop my arm around her waist, holding her up as she starts to collapse. I give one more hard thrust before fucking exploding inside her.
It’s so intense, so fucking everything. I keep emptying into her, coming harder than I ever have. Each rope of cum feels like it’s taking a part of my very soul, draining me and pouring more of me into her. I’ll give her everything. There is no me without her.
Finally, fucking finally , I’m completely spent. I curl my body over Ari’s, covering her back with my front as I kiss the nape of her neck, loving the salty taste of her sweat.
Ari is shaking in my arms, panting and sweating and well-fucked.
“You doing okay, angel?” I whisper into her ear.
“I…Fuck,” she breathes. “S-so good. Can’t feel my legs.”
I chuckle and stand, pulling out of her swollen, soaked pussy. Spinning her again, I scoop her up in my arms. She’s a fucking rag doll, and I chuckle again, kissing her forehead before collapsing on the couch with her in my lap.
She curls into my chest and rests her head in the crook of my neck.
“I love you. Nothing will ever change that. You are my family, my home, my whole damn world. I’ll do whatever I can to prove that to you.”
She nods and kisses my neck. “I know,” she whispers into my skin. “I know that. You’re my…you’re my family.” Her voice cracks on that last word, making me hold her even tighter.
We sit like that for God knows how long, the air thick with sex and promises of forever. It’s the perfect moment, and I can’t wait for a lifetime filled with more of them.
