Chapter 10
Logan
Once we have our first kiss as husband and wife, we head to the patio and there’s an entire feast sitting out, ready for us. Everyone starts walking over to us and Alice hugs me and kisses my cheek. “I’m happy for you son.” She tells me. “Thanks mom. I can’t believe I’m getting my family.” I tell her. “You deserve it son. You are going to be an amazing husband and father. I’ll be here to make sure of it.” She tells me and we both laugh before she moves over to Lori to hug her. Ashton is next. “Congratulations man.” He says. “Thanks Ash. s**t. I’m married again.” I say and we both laugh as he moves on to Lori. Izzy is next. She hugs me. “Take care of her.” She tells me, looking me in the eye. “With my life.” I tell her and that seems to be the answer she was looking for. Mary is next. She doesn’t hug me but she says, “Congratulations Logan.” I smile and say “Thank you, Mary. I’m really glad you’re here with us.” I tell her. She smiles shyly before moving to Lori where she hugs her, and they stand there smiling and talking. Evan walks up. Hugging me, he says “Congrats man.” I smile and say “Thank you for doing this. It means a lot to Lori and me.” I tell him. “I wouldn’t miss this for s**t brother.” He says and I see him looking over at Mary. “Talk to her.” I say. He nods and I see him walk over to Mary and say something before they walk together over to where the food is being served but he’s not touching her.
I walk over to my bride and pull her close. “Are you happy sweetheart?” I ask. “I am. Are you?” she asks. “I’ve never been happier.” I tell her before kissing her softly. We move over to a table where there’s a small wedding cake. Lori and I move over behind the cake and cut it together. I feed her a small bite and am careful not to get it on her face but when she feeds me mine, she smashes it in my face, and we all laugh. With cake still on my face, I kiss her hard and get cake on her face anyway.
After eating and the cake, we have a dance just us and then I dance with Alice for the mother son dance. Ashton dances with Lori for the father daughter dance and everyone goes to leave. Alice goes to her mother-in-law suite on the property while Izzy and Ashton take Mary back to the mission while Evan heads home.
I pick my bride up and carry her to our bedroom. Placing her on her feet, I turn her to face away from me and move her hair to expose her neck. Placing soft kisses on her neck, she tilts her head to give me better access. I move my lips next to her ear and whisper “I love you so much.” Before placing another kiss on her shoulder. She keeps her back to me and whispers “Will you make love to me?” I wrap my arms around her and pull her closer. “If you feel you need to stop, just tell me. Okay?” I ask. “Okay.” She whispers.
I lower the zipper on the back of her dress and slowly pull it off her shoulders and let it drop to the floor, leaving her in her bra, panties, and heels. I unhook her bra and turn her to face me while she holds the fabric against her chest. I pull the straps down her arms, and she lets it drop to the floor where her dress lies. She tries to cover herself up and I take her hands and pull them down to her sides. “Don’t hide from me baby. You’re perfect.” I tell her. She slowly brings her eyes up to mine and I kiss her softly. I gently grip the back of her thighs and lift her up. Her arms go around my neck and her legs around my waist as we continue to kiss. I carry her over to our bed and gently lay her down, breaking the kiss. “You’re f*****g perfect honey. f*****g perfect.” I rasp before kissing her again and place kisses down her throat. I kiss across her collarbone and down between her breasts before I wrap my lips around one n****e and tweak the other between my finger and thumb. She starts to writhe underneath me, moaning. I kiss my way down her stomach and when I get to her lower stomach, where our baby is growing, I place soft kisses and whisper “I love you little one.” I look up at Lori and she’s smiling down at me.
“Are you okay?” I ask and she nods and runs her fingers through my hair. “I am perfect.” She whispers. Never breaking eye contact, I dip my fingers into both sides of the waistband of her panties and slowly pull them down her hips. She raises her hips off the bed, and I slide the panties farther down her legs before pulling them off and tossing them to the side. She closes her legs to hide, and I place my hands on her knees and gently pull them apart.
Looking at the wet heat between her legs, I speak without looking at her. “So f*****g beautiful.” I look up at her and say “I’m going to taste you sweetheart. I want you to just relax and enjoy it.” She nods and I lower myself between her thighs and kiss one thigh before kissing the other and kissing my way to her center. I flatten my tongue against her center and run my tongue up her slit from entrance to c**t. I stiffen my tongue and start flicking her hard bud and she starts moaning and grinding against my face. I gently suck on her c**t, and she comes up off the bed. “Oh God. Logan.” She moans. I can tell she’s soaking wet, so I take one finger and slip it in her entrance, never letting up on her c**t. Slipping my finger in and out of her, I add a second finger. I continue f*****g her sweet cunt with my fingers while devouring her c**t until she finally detonates. “Logan.” She almost screams as she climaxes.
As she comes down from her orgasm, she lays on the bed looking completely blissed out. I stand next to the bed and ask, “Are you ready for me my wife?” She nods her head yes. I unbutton my dress shirt and slip it off my arms, letting it drop to the floor before taking off my pants. Standing there in my boxer briefs, I look at my wife and ask, “Like what you see?” She nods her head yes again before I drop my boxer briefs and slowly stroke my manhood and watch her eyes drift to my shaft. I climb onto the bed and hover over her, kissing her softly. “I am so glad you’re mine.” I whisper. “I love you.” She whispers back. “Are you sure baby?” I ask. “I’m sure. Just, go slow.” She says. “Always.” I say back before kissing her deeply as I slowly enter her warm walls. Breaking the kiss, I hiss “f**k, you feel so good baby. So tight.” She starts meeting me thrust for thrust as we find a rhythm that feels good for both of us. The entire time I make love to her, I am kissing her. I finally kiss over to her ear and whisper “You’re so perfect. My wife. My love. Mine.” I hear her moaning in my ear before she finds her climax one more time and I feel my balls start to tighten and moan “I’m so close.” She kisses my neck and whispers “Give it to me baby.” And that’s all it takes for me to lose myself and find my release inside of my wife.
I kiss her softly as I’m still hovering over her and still inside of her. “Are you okay baby?” I ask. She looks up at me and caresses my face and says, “For the first time in my life, yes.” Before kissing me. I pull out and lay on my back and pull her to lay on my chest. Neither of us say anything and when she finally speaks, she asks “Was I okay?” I look down at her and cup her face and say, “You were absolutely perfect.” She lays her head back on my chest and says, “So were you.” I run my fingers up and down her back as we lay in blissful silence before I hear her breathing even out as she drifts off to sleep.
The next morning, I wake up and am in bed alone. I open my eyes and look around the room and see Lori sitting in her robe, sitting in the window seat, watching the morning sky. I get up and wrap my robe around myself before walking over to her. “Good morning.” I say as I take a seat next to her, not touching her. “Morning.” She says and looks over at me with a small smile on her face. “What’s on your mind?” I ask because we said we would always talk to each other. “Just thinking. We’re married Logan.” She says. “We are.” I tell her. “And you’re going to be my baby’s father.” She says. “I am. But that’s not what’s on your mind, is it?” I ask. She shakes her head no. “What is it?” I ask. “You could have any woman you want but you chose me. When I was still living with my dad, I thought that was all I would ever amount to. I thought that was what my life was destined to be. But here I am, married, having a baby. I’m about to start college and helping at the mission.” She tells me as she watches the sunrise. Turning her head to look at me, she says “All because you took a chance on me. You decided that I was worth it. I honestly don’t know what I did to deserve you, but I am so glad I did.” She tells me. “Baby, I didn’t think I would ever find love again after losing Maura. But the minute I saw you, I lost myself to you. You’re giving me everything I wanted. A wife and a child. But I was an only child and I know you were too, so I hope you know I want more after this one.” I tell her. “Two more.” She tells me. “Two more.” I agree.
We head downstairs to get something to eat and see Alice in the kitchen making breakfast. “Good morning mom.” I say as Lori and I walk in, hand in hand. “Morning babies. Sit down.” She tells us before plating our food. “I’m heading into town for the day. Is there anything you need?” she asks. Lori shakes her head no. “I think we’re fine. But let me get our new driver to take you. His name is Hans.” I tell her and she nods. “I’ll get my purse.” She says and I send a text to our new driver to be ready.
After Alice leaves, Lori and I are sitting in the living room, and we have a movie playing on the television but we’re not really watching it. She’s sitting between my legs with her back to me and one hand is holding hers on my knee and the other is rubbing small circles on her stomach that’s holding our baby. I place a soft kiss on her shoulder and listen to her talk about an article she read about breastfeeding over formula. “Are you wanting to breastfeed?” I ask. “I’d like to. I was reading in the article that some moms don’t produce enough milk to nurse fulltime so I thought I would ask the doctor about it at our next appointment.” She tells me. “That’s a good idea.” I tell her. “Really? I mean, the article said something about getting with a lactation nurse before delivery to get information and see if it’s really something I want to do.” She tells me. “Well, I’m sure the doctor can refer someone. I’ll do whatever it takes to make sure you and our baby have nothing but the best.” I tell her. She turns to look at me and says, “You know I’m not with you for that.” I nod and say “I know. But if I have the means to do it, I will.” I tell her.
She lays back against me and says “I was thinking about talking to Izzy about setting something up for young moms. Help the ones that don’t have anyone to turn to, get on their feet and help get them set up for their baby so they don’t have to make the decision of giving up their baby just because of money.” She tells me. “That’s a good idea. Talk to her about it and let me know what I can do to help.” I tell her and she snuggles back against me. “You’re an amazing man.” She tells me. “And I’m yours.” I whisper in her ear and feel her shiver.
That evening, I am in my office, checking my email and see an email from an old associate of mine. Opening the email, I see its information on a custody case I’ve been working on. “What the hell?” I ask and Lori is sitting on the couch and looks up at me. “What is it?” she asks. “This case I’m working on.” I say. “What’s going on?” she asks. “Well, I had Rico investigate him for me and he has custody of his son, but the boy’s mom is fighting for custody. She said that when they divorced, he got custody because she wasn’t working at the time, but he was. But according to this, it looks like reports have been made by the boy’s teachers that he’s coming to school with bruises all over him, but Child Services can’t seem to find enough evidence to get the boy away from him.” I tell her. She looks over my shoulder and sees his name and stiffens. “What is it?” I ask. She backs away from me a little bit and says, “I know him.” I take her hand and pull her to me and ask, “How do you know him baby?” She looks at his name again and then to me and says “He was one of my dad’s friends. He would come over and I would hear him telling my dad about how he was hard up for money and wanted to know if my dad knew anyone that wanted to buy his kid. Talking about how he’d rent him out if it brought in money.” She tells me. “s**t. Okay. So, that gives me somewhere to start.” I tell her. “What are you going to do?” she asks. “I’m going to get the statements from the teachers that were reported to Child Services and then I’m going to file and exparte order.” I tell her. “What’s that?” she asks. “That’s an emergency custody order but it’s only temporary. That will get him away from his father and then will give us a little more time to build a case.” I tell her and she kisses me before going back to the couch.
I file the paperwork and prepare it to take to Evan’s office in the morning. I call my client and explain what we’re doing and that I will be in touch when it’s handled and will help her get her son. She’s excited but then I tell her that we are taking it one step at a time. After getting off the phone, Lori asks “Do you think her, and her son should stay at the mission until it’s handled?” I look at her for a minute and say “Not a bad idea. It would help make sure that he doesn’t mess with her and try to take her son back until they go to court.” I say and shoot Ashton a text about it, and he said he would make sure they had a dorm ready.
The next morning, I am getting ready to go into the office and Lori is still in bed. “Morning.” She says. “Morning baby.” I say before leaning down and kissing her softly. “Go back to sleep. Call me if you need anything but Alice will be here with you today.” I tell her. “I might go to see Mary today.” She tells me. “I put Hans’ number in your phone. Text him when you’re ready to go and he will take you and bring you home.” I tell her. “Okay baby.” She says before snuggling back into the covers and Clyde comes over to the bed and jumps up to snuggle with her and I can’t help but smile. “He loves you.” I tell her. “He’s mama’s boy.” She says as she wraps an arm around Clyde, and he snuggles closer. I just shake my head and laugh before heading out the door.
I walk into my office and prepare for court this morning. I have to be there to represent Mary against her mother. I get all of my paperwork together before heading to court. Walking into the courtroom, I see Mary’s mom off to the side and she looks pissed. Court comes to session, and I see Evan take his seat, so we all take ours. The court clerk says, “First case, Mary Carter versus Lana Carter.” I walk up to the prosecuting table, and she walks to her table with her lawyer. “Lana Clark, you are here to defend yourself against a restraining order filed by your daughter, Mary Carter. According to the request for the order of protection, you are being accused of allowing your daughter to be sexually abused to support your drug habit. Is that true Ms. Clark?” Evan asks. “No sir. She’s lying. Can’t you see that? She’s not even here to say it to my face.” Lana says. “Your honor, I am here on behalf of my client, Mary Carter. With the request for the order of protection, you should already have the statement from Mary stating the reasons for this request.” I say. “Where is my daughter?” Lana asks but I don’t acknowledge her. Evan does though. “It doesn’t matter where your daughter is. Her representative is here in her place. Now, if these allegations aren’t true, why would you be accused?” Evan asks. “She’s always been ungrateful. Poor thing, she’s never felt like she got enough attention, and her dad died when she was young, so she pretty much throws herself at men.” Lana says and I can see Evan’s jaw tick. He’s pissed. “Are you using, Ms. Carter?” Evan asks. “What? No!” she says. “Then you’ll submit to a drug test, right now.” Evan says. “What? You can’t make me do that. I mean…” she stammers, and her lawyer doesn’t say anything. “Stop. I can tell you’re under the influence of something right now. What is it? Meth?” he asks because that’s what Mary said she was on. Her eyes go wide before she looks down at her feet. “I’ll tell you what. I’m granting the restraining order but here’s what’s going to happen. I could give you jail time…” he says, and she goes to say something, but he stops her. “…but instead, I’m going to do something for you, but you have to do something for me.” He tells her. “Anything.” She says. He looks at me and then back to her. “Looking over the request for this case as well as your daughter’s statement, I’m not sending you to jail, which you do deserve. What I’ve done is looked into a rehab program. You will stay in this rehab for one year. If you try to leave, you will be sent to jail. In that year, you’re going to get clean, stay clean and you’re going to take every counseling program I’ve set up. But in return, you will never go near your daughter again. But you’re also going to give me the name of your dealer.” He tells her and she looks at her lawyer who whispers what I’m assuming is him telling her to take the deal. She looks at Evan and says, “I’ll take the deal.”
After Lana gives Evan the dealer’s name, he issues his judgement and says that an officer and a case worker will be escorting her to her home to pack for rehab. After we leave the courtroom, I walk to his chambers and knock on the door. “Come in.” Evan says. I walk in and he is sitting at his desk, so I take the seat in front of his desk. “What was that?” I ask. “That was me finding out the name of the fucker that hurt Mary.” He tells me. “The rehab?” I ask. “It’s up to Mary if she ever has anything to do with her mom in the future but she will stay away from Mary until Mary decides she wants her around and if she ever does, her mom will hopefully stay clean.” He tells me. “You did all of that for Mary?” I ask. “And as soon as I text Rico his name, I’m going to handle him too.” He tells me. “Just let me know what you need brother. She’s technically my sister-in-law.” I tell him. “Don’t tell her what happened today. I’m heading over there now to see her.” Evan says. “Lori is going to see her sometime today too.” I tell him. “Good. She might need Lori there after I tell her everything from today.” He tells me. “You don’t believe that s**t about her throwing herself at men, do you?” I ask. “f**k no. Her mom’s just trying to get out of trouble.” He tells me. “Good. If you’re heading there now, want me to have Lori meet you there?” I ask. “Yeah. You coming too?” he asks. “Yeah. Let’s go.” I say and we head out the door.
We pull up at the mission and Lori is already there, inside, visiting with Mary. We walk up and I lean down and kiss Lori softly. “Hey honey.” I say. “Hey baby.” She says and I smile at her. Evan and I sit down, and Evan looks at Mary and she smiles softly at him. “Hi Evan.” She says softly. “Hey sweetheart. How are you feeling?” he asks. “I’m okay. Had another session with Kathy this morning. Was stressing about the hearing.” She tells him. “I wanted to talk to you about that.” He tells her and she becomes tense. “No sweetheart, It’s okay.” He tells her. She looks at me and I say, “It went well but let Evan tell you.” I tell her and she looks back to Evan. He reaches over and takes her hand and says “I let her tell her side but like I said, it was just a technicality. I did some thinking before the hearing and here’s what happened. We pull up at the mission and Lori is already there, inside, visiting with Mary. We walk up and I lean down and kiss Lori softly. “Hey honey.” I say. “Hey baby.” She says and I smile at her. Evan and I sit down, and Evan looks at Mary and she smiles softly at him. “Hi Evan.” She says softly. “Hey sweetheart. How are you feeling?” he asks. “I’m okay.

He reaches over and takes her hand and says “I let her tell her side but like I said, it was just a technicality. I did some thinking before the hearing and here’s what happened.
Getting into the car, Lori looks at me and says, “That was an amazing thing he did for her.” I take her hand and lace my fingers with hers and I say “It is. He wanted to make sure that if Mary ever decided to have her mom back in her life that she would have a chance at being sober when and if it happens.” I tell her. “He’s good for her.” She tells me. “One thing he didn’t tell her was that he got her mom’s dealer’s name in the deal too.” I tell her. “You guys are going to do to him what you did to my dad and Jake aren’t you?” she asks. “Are you okay with that?” I ask. “I can walk around and not have to look over my shoulder because of what you guys did. Of course, I’m okay with it. She deserves that same peace.” She tells me and I kiss her knuckles, happy that she understands.
