“It didn’t hurt as bad as I thought it would.” I think because I kept her orgasming, and it helped dull the pain.
“Good, baby. I never want to hurt you.” I lift her again, slowly lowering her into the bath. She lets out a long sigh as the warm water engulfs her.
I don’t miss the streak of blood on my cock as I step in with her. I pull her into my arms.
She’s now my wife in all ways. My hand drifts across her stomach. Hopefully, very soon she’ll be the mother of our children. She’s my everything. I wouldn’t survive without her.

Fawn
Ace runs towards the pool to jump in to do a cannonball.
“No running!” I shout, but it’s too late. He’s already in the air coming down into the pool. His life jacket pops him right back up.
“How big was my splash?” Every day I see more and more of that sadness leaving his eyes. It’s nice to know that I’ve had a part in it. I love this little boy more than words could even describe. He’s been all smiles lately. All of us have been.
Roman has been around a lot more lately. He’s been working less, and we’ve been doing things as a family. For the first time in my life, I feel settled. I never in a million years would have guessed this was how things were going to turn out.
“I think that was your biggest one yet,” I tell him.
His whole face lights up with excitement. “Yes!”
l watch as he swims to the stairs. I do the same, getting out of the pool. My fingers are all wrinkled. It took me a few weeks to teach Ace how to swim.
Roman offered to hire someone to come out, but I wanted to be the one to teach him. It was a bonding thing for Ace and me. And even though he’s got it down pat, I still want him to wear the life jacket for now. Especially when he’s doing this.
I sit on the top step, watching him. He could stay out here all day if I let him. I don’t want him to exhaust himself too much.
“You’re getting good at that,” Reno says as he walks towards the pool. “Fawn.” He tips his hat at me.
“Hey, Reno.” I give him a smile. “I’ve been meaning to ask. Do you think you could give me lessons too? I’ve always wanted to try horseback riding.”
“I’m sure we can work something out.”
“I can teach my wife how to ride.” My husband's deep voice rumbles from behind me. I turn to look at him over my shoulder. He’s not in his normal suit but jeans and a black shirt that stretches across his broad chest. “Actually, I’ve already given her a few lessons.” He smirks.
I narrow my eyes at him. He’s being crude and he knows it. Roman can be a brat when other men get near me. It can be both annoying and sweet at the same time.
“I was going to check with you first, boss.” Reno lifts his hands, stepping back. He’s smiling at Roman. Everyone around here seems to be happy about Roman getting married. George says that he’s less of a bear now. That I’ve calmed something inside of him. He also says this is the happiest he’s ever seen Roman, which is nice to hear.
“Ro, watch!” Ace shouts as he does another cannonball. Roman claps for him.
“I’ll leave you all to it,” Reno drawls before he turns to head back toward the stables.
“You’re a brat,” I tell Roman as soon as Reno is out of earshot.
“And my wife is almost naked. He works at the stables, not at the pool.”
“So maybe we should get a pool boy?” I tease him. He heads for me. I try to get up and run, but he snags me around the waist, lifting me up.
“Put her down!” Ace shouts, swimming to the side to get out of the pool.
“You wouldn't.” I glare at Roman, fighting not to smile. Roman lifts his eyebrows.
“Put her down.” Ace points a water gun at Roman. This time I can’t fight my laughter as he starts to shoot Roman with it.
“Sorry, love,” Roman says before tossing me into the deep end. I let out a small scream before I hit the water.
“I’ll save you, Mommy!” Ace shouts before jumping into the pool. His words catch me off guard. I can tell from Roman’s face he’s surprised too. He gives a small shrug before smiling at me.
Ace pops up from under the water, wrapping himself around me. “I got you.”
“Thank you, honey. I’m so glad there is one gentleman around here. I know I can always count on you, sweet boy.” Ace gives Roman a smirk. I swim to the shallow end, letting Ace go when we get to the stairs. He takes my hands as we get out. “Lunch.”
