I give a tap of warning on our bedroom door before I push it open to see my bride.
"So." Truly gives me a shy smile. My girl still blushes, sweetly innocent for me. "What do you think?"
She could wear a paper bag for all I cared, and she’d still be the most beautiful woman in any room. But the dress is stunning on her. I'm not surprised she went with a classic style. The front forms a V, showing off the swells of her breasts, with the locket I'd gotten her last year resting between them. It fits snugly until you get to the waist, where it flares out all around her.
"You're beautiful. Stunning." I wish there were better words to describe her. There likely are, but I'm staring at her a tad dumbstruck. Her shiny lips pull up in a half smile.
"Another week and I don't know if I would have fit into it." She lets out a small laugh. I make my way over to her.
"How are you feeling?" I rub a hand across her stomach. She's only a few months along with our second.
"Amazing." She drops her head back to stare up at me, a bright smile lighting up her face and all of me.
"Isn't there a rule about seeing the bride before the ceremony?"
"We're already married, and I make up my own rules.” I know she’s baiting me.
“Is that so?” She licks her lips, thinking she's pushing my buttons. When my wife wants to lead, I let her. All I want is to be there and likely be overbearing security. “Babe,” I warn.
Truly is all dolled up with her hair and makeup done. She’s got her dress on and is ready for this wedding. I’m seconds from ruining it, but that might be what she’s after and what my wife is after I give her.
“You could just lift it." She peers up at me through her lashes. “It’s not as though I’m wearing any—" I lift her before she can finish and carry her over to the chaise next to the fireplace. I can’t thoroughly enjoy her here, that will have to wait until tonight, but I can give us both what we need.
The same way I always have and always will when it comes to Truly. Our happily ever after may have taken longer but the love and life we have now was worth the wait.
