“I wasn’t worried about him wanting to live with me. I was worried about you not wanting to.” His statement confused her, and at the same time sent her heart galloping with hope. “I want you guys to move in with me, too. I know it is incredibly fast, but I’ll feel better, knowing you are both safe under my roof. You know I have plenty of room. I already ordered some furniture while Ash was sleeping, and his room will be set up by the time you guys get discharged. I know my place isn’t much, but I always secretly pictured having a family there. You’re my family—I want you there. Both of you.”
“Bryan, fast is putting it mildly. We just went on our first date two days ago. We’ve only known each other for six months.” God, she wanted to say yes. Screw convention and just dive in head first. But logic and reason had to win out, for Ash’s sake.
“I know, babe, trust me. But I figure the alternative is me moving in with your parents as well, since I really can’t stand the thought of you guys being out of my sight. But if you just move in with me, it will be much less cramped.” He gave her that crooked, cocky smile she loved so much and squeezed her forearm. “Plus, my house is still in his school district. The yard is huge, plenty of room for a dog. Ash said he’s always wanted one.”
“Now you’re just playing dirty.”
“Oh, I haven’t even gotten to the dirty reasons why you guys should live with me.” Damn that smirk and its ability to soak her panties in no time flat. Even while she was in the hospital with a broken wrist and concussion.
As much as she had protested the idea of living with Bryan already, she desperately wanted to be able to say yes. The minute she walked into his house, she could picture how it would be if she moved in with Ash. The way they would fill it up with all the warmth and love that Bryan had missed out on in his own childhood. But it just wasn’t responsible to make that step yet.
“Please, Lex, just think about it.” The pleading in his voice nearly did her in. He obviously wanted this; otherwise he wouldn’t be fighting so hard for her to say yes. And she believed he would move in with her parents just to be near them.
“I’ll think about it, okay?”
“Okay, yes. Think. While you think, just know that I love you, and I love Ash. The kid is awesome.” Bryan laid his head down on her hip, the one place on her body that didn’t feel like death warmed over. “You’re awesome, too. I just want us to be a family of awesome in my awesome house. Please.”
Lexis sighed. If there was one thing she had learned about Bryan since she met, him it was that he was unendingly persistent. He wouldn’t give this up until he had the three of them living under one roof together. So why fight it? Especially when it was something that she wanted, and apparently, Ash wanted as well. “Okay. I’ll make you a deal. Ash and I will stay with you while we’re recuperating. If you still want us living with you after that, we can talk about making it a permanent move.”
“I can deal with that.” A wide smile took over Bryan’s face, and a relieved sigh slipped past his lips.
In that moment, Lexis truly took in how exhausted he looked. Handsome as ever, but tired, too. “Have you gotten any sleep?” She ran her fingers through his soft auburn hair, loving the way her pale skin looked against it.
“Not much. Every time I close my eyes I see you lying on the floor, passed out in your house.” His eyes glassed over, and he held his breath, obviously trying to hold back the emotions that the past few days had caused.
“Hey, I’m okay now. You kept me safe. Kept my son safe.” His eyelids looked heavy as she continued her gentle stroking along his scalp. “Close your eyes. Picture me, in your bed, wearing one of your T-shirts—”
“The 2009 Steelers champion shirt.” A small smile tilted up his lips.
“Okay, I’m wearing your 2009 Steelers championship shirt—”
“With no panties underneath.”
Lexis giggled. Leave it to Bryan to make even the sweet picture she tried to paint for him a little sexy too. “No panties. We just finished making love, and after you go check on Ash in his room, you crawl into bed with me, and wrap me in your big arms. Ash is safe. I’m safe. And we’re all under the same roof, going to sleep for the night.”
Before she finished, Bryan had passed out on her lap. Despite being stuck in a hospital bed, covered in scrapes and bruises and a cast, Lexis felt a sense of completion like she never had before. Her son asleep at her side, and the love of her life asleep on her lap. She leaned her head back to the soft pillow behind her and found herself drifting into her own peaceful sleep, the picture of her little family filling Bryan’s house bright in her mind.
Epilogue
Two Months Later
Bryan
The cheer drowned out all the other ambient noise in the police station. Scanners crackled, the phones rang, the computers hummed. The moment Bryan walked into the station, hand in hand with Lexis, the guys took one look at them and erupted into claps and yells of excitement.
It could have had something to do with the way they were dressed. Bryan in the same suit he’d worn on their first date, only with a new shirt since she had ruined the old one, and Lexis in a simple white strapless dress that hugged her curves and made him so hard he didn’t know how he would make it through the rest of the night before he could get her naked.
In less than ten minutes, she would be his wife. He couldn’t wait. Paperwork was already in the works for Bryan to officially become Ashton’s dad, and just the thought made Bryan’s heart swell with pride.
After Lexis and Ashton moved in, it hadn’t taken long for them all to realize that they were never going to move out again. It all just felt too perfect. They seemed to each fill a hole that they hadn’t realized existed until they found each other. Bryan’s favorite part of the day was sitting at the dining room table, which Lexis had ordered the first week there, and helping Ash with homework, or playing board games. Their life was simple, chaotic, but simple. And he loved every minute of it.
“You fucker, did you get married without telling us?” Despite his gruff words, the smile on Wright’s face betrayed his joy for his friend.
“Not yet, but we’re about to be.” Bryan turned to the Chief, who had just stepped out of his office with a grin on his face. “What do you say Jon? Will you marry us, right now?”
Chief Gallo wasn’t one for expressing emotion, but Bryan didn’t miss the bobbing of his Adam’s apple and the straightening of his spine, as he kept his emotions in check. “I’d be honored to, son.”
“Alright, everyone in the briefing room, then.” Bryan wrapped his arm around Lexis, guiding her into the room where they handed out assignments each day. Her parents and Ash filed in behind them, along with all the guys currently on duty.
McCracken, the only other person who had been in on the plan, stood by Bryan, while his very pregnant fiancé served as Lexis’ maid of honor. The two had grown close over the past few months. They’d danced and laughed together at the Blue Line, gone shopping together, and swapped stories of morning sickness.
No one knew yet, but Lexis had her own little puke machine growing in her belly right at that moment. They’d tried to use condoms a couple of times, but hated them and ended up whipping them off after only a few thrusts. Then he tried coming on her tits or stomach, but he hated leaving the warmth of her body as she orgasmed. So it really was inevitable that a baby would come along, sooner rather than later.
At first, Lexis had been scared that Bryan would leave her, just like Ashton’s asshole of a father had. But that would never happen. These people were his family. Leaving was never a thought in his mind.
As Bryan slipped the ring onto Lexis’ finger, he felt the last puzzle piece of his world snap into place. Never in his life had he been happier.
“I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.” The Chief beamed with pride. As well he should. Bryan wouldn’t be the man he was today, had it not been for that man guiding him.
Bryan gathered Lexi
s into his arms, and dipped her in a dramatic kiss that brought the guys to their feet with more cheers. As they stood once again, Ashton bounced over to them, and wrapped his arms around both their legs.
Everything was perfect.
A crash in the lobby brought the merriment to a screeching halt.
“What the fuck was that?” The Chief growled, stalking out of the room. A moment later his panicked voice yelled back from them to call an ambulance.
Everyone rushed out to the lobby. On the floor lay a young woman, bruised and beaten to the point she was almost unrecognizable.
Almost.
But when Bryan took a step closer, he saw it was the girl they’d arrested at the pharmacy all those months ago. She had somehow managed to shake the tail the Chief had put on her, and then skipped the court date for her fleeing charge. No matter how hard they had looked, it had been as if she disappeared off the face of the earth. That is, until she crashed into the station.
Lexis pushed through the crowd and knelt beside the girl. She looked up and signed for her parents to take Ash into the back again, then got to work assessing the damage to the young woman’s body while they waited for an ambulance.
“Multiple contusions to her face and body.” She pressed on the girl’s cheek, and she whimpered in response. “Broken facial bones, broken fingers, broken toes.”
A growl ripped through the air beside him, and Bryan glanced over to see the Chief kneeling by the girl’s head, his face a mask of anger and pain. “She was tortured?”
Lexis looked up from the girl. “Yes. Severely. I’d say she is dehydrated and malnourished as well.”
At that moment, the paramedics came crashing through the doors, whisked her onto a gurney, and loaded her into the back of the ambulance. The Chief climbed into the back with her, calling out orders for a protection detail to be posted at the hospital. McCracken jumped to work, shouting out assignments and orders.
Finally, he turned to Bryan and Lexis. “Go on home, guys. Not exactly the end to the day you wanted, I’m sorry. But it is still the first night of your honeymoon. Go try and enjoy it.”
“Thanks, man. Call me when you get an update. I don’t care what time it is.”
“Absolutely.”

Lexis
Lexis couldn’t stop looking at the simple silver band circling her finger. Bryan had wanted to get her a huge diamond engagement ring, but it really wasn’t her style. Instead, he gave her a silver ring with diamonds encrusted the entire way around. According to Bryan, it needed to have some bling so men would be able to see from far away that she was taken.
His possessiveness never failed to turn her on.
The ring she gave him was equally simple, but with a special meaning behind it. It was a tungsten ring, with the design of a gladiolus etched into the hard metal. She had wanted Ash represented in their marriage, because Bryan truly had married both her and her son. They were a package deal, and Bryan had proven time and again that was something he not only accepted, but loved.
In a few short weeks, Bryan would legally be Ash’s dad, and they would all change their surnames to his, at Ash’s request.
The car bumped along beneath them as they drove to the fancy hotel Bryan had booked in the city for the night. The official honeymoon would wait until summer break, when they would all be flying out to Florida for an extended trip, her parents included so there would be someone to watch Ash when she and Bryan needed some alone time.
But their wedding night was just for them. Lexis toyed with the cool metal around her finger, then leaned her head back, admiring Bryan as he drove them through the back roads of Middleburg.
“What are you thinking about, Mrs. Coy?” Bryan smirked, obviously loving the sound of her new name.
“I’m trying to estimate how long it would take to get checked in, up to our room, and your cock down my throat.”
Bryan’s breath hitched, and his grip on the steering wheel tightened. It had been a while since Lexis had felt well enough to take Bryan deep into her mouth. The morning sickness had been awful in the beginning, and the thought of deep throating her man had lost all appeal, which sucked because she had loved driving him crazy with that little trick.
“You think you’re up for that?” Bryan snuck a quick glance in her direction. “Because I can live without it, and I don’t want you forcing yourself to do something that is making you sick or not bringing you pleasure.”
How had she gotten so lucky to find this man? “Oh, I’m up for it.” She reached over the console, rubbing his thick cock as it grew to its full length in his pants. “Seems you are, too.”
“Fuck, baby, I don’t know if I can wait for the hotel.”
“Pull over.” Lexis couldn’t wait either, and she had no intention of putting off what they both wanted so badly.
Gravel spit out behind them, as Bryan veered off to the shoulder of the back road he’d been traveling down. It was broad daylight, but she really didn’t care. If someone happened to drive by as she serviced her new husband on the side of the road, so be it.
As soon as he slammed the car into park, Bryan ripped open his pants and freed the beast, as they had become fond of calling his cock. Just as quickly, Lexis took off her seat belt, got on her knees on her seat, and sucked his length into her mouth and throat in one long pull.
“Fuuuuck, I’ve missed that sweet mouth.” Two seconds in, and Bryan was already panting like she’d been going at him for hours.
Lexis had always prided herself on her oral skills, which she had further developed after becoming an official purveyor of sex toys. She offered a bonus add-on to her parties, of deep throating lessons for those who wanted to really thrill their men. But even with her knowledge, it had been a challenge getting Bryan into her throat that first night. He was a big man. All. Over.
But, Lexis, never being one to give up, hadn’t quit, and eventually worked all the way onto him. It helped that Bryan got off on the slight gag and gurgling that she could never truly get past.
His fingers fisted into her wavy hair as he guided her up and down his length to the brutal rhythm he needed. She cupped his balls with one hand, rubbing her fingers against that little spot behind them that drove men crazy.
Bryan’s reaction was immediate and frenzied. His hips pushed off the seat, thrusting up into her mouth as she forced herself down, impaling her face with his cock over and over. She swirled her tongue over every bit of flesh it could reach and ignored the streams of saliva that dribbled down her chin. Getting a little messy for her man was never a problem, as far as she was concerned.
All too soon, Bryan roared and held her in place as thick jets of his cum shot down her throat, and she eagerly drank every bit. Thank god her morning sickness had gone away. Being deprived of the powerful feeling she got from causing Bryan to go completely out of his mind with pleasure had sucked beyond measure.
Once Bryan dislodged his cock from her mouth, Lexis licked her swollen and stretched lips, making sure to capture any stray bits of his cum. She smiled at him triumphantly, and his hooded gaze met hers.
“We have thirty minutes until we get to the hotel. I want you to play with your pussy for the entire ride.” Bryan ran his fingers up between her thighs, stroking the soaked satin undies she’d worn just for their wedding night. “But you aren’t allowed to come until it is my cock, fingers, and mouth on you. Got it?”
Lexis whimpered. She was so wound up after blowing Bryan in the car, she wasn’t sure she could last until they got to the hotel. But if there was one thing she knew, it was to not defy Bryan’s orders when it came to sex. If she did, he would make her wait for her orgasms, and while she occasionally liked to play that game, tonight she wanted to come as quickly and often as possible.
“Got it.”
“Spread your legs and pull up your skirt. I want to watch.” And boy, did he. Lexis swirled her fingers through her folds, swiped at her clit, and buried her fingers in her pussy. She did
everything she could to tease herself without reaching the climax she so desperately craved.
Occasionally, he would bark a command at her, like squeeze your tits, or rub your clit harder. He did everything in his power to drive her crazy, without ever touching her. By the time they were pulling into the parking garage at the hotel, she was a sweaty, needy mess.
“Bryan, please, I need to come.” She whined, something she hated doing, and all he did was smirk.
“Not yet, Lex.” Before they got out of the car, Bryan slid his fingers through her swollen folds, gathered some of her arousal onto his fingertips, then sucked her cream off his digits. “Mmm, so sweet. Let’s go inside so I can have my dessert.”
As they checked in at the front desk, Lexis desperately shifted from foot to foot, trying to rub her thighs together and stop the spiraling desire in her body. It seemed to take eons before they were in the elevator hurtling toward the honeymoon suite.
Nothing could stop her fidgeting and whimpering. Her whole body teetered on the edge of ecstasy, and she couldn’t do a damn thing about it. When they reached the door to their suite, Bryan swept her up into his arms and carried her through the door. He dropped their bags inside the door and almost sprinted to the huge bed in the other room.
Lexis’ squeals of delight as he tossed her onto the cloud-like mattress quickly turned to desperate moans when Bryan tore off her panties and sucked her sensitive clit into his mouth. Not even one minute later, her orgasm crashed around her in epic waves. She was powerless to control the pleasure cresting and falling over and over again.
Her body was still tingling from the intensity of it all, when Bryan pushed her legs against her chest and slid his cock into her.
“Fuck, look at you taking my cock in your pretty white dress. If this isn’t the hottest vision of my life, I don’t know what is.” He pounded into her, the slapping of skin against skin a beautiful accompaniment to their screams and groans. “You’re officially mine, now. And I’m never letting you go, wife.”
