Chapter: Chapter One Hundred and FiveSebastian There's something about dressing in a tux. The soft material clings in all the right places because it was made solely for you to move in. It's nice to be dressed so impeccably The charcoal grey suits me, or so Bethany once said. I've worn a tux five times in my life. Once for prom, once to meet with the big boys at work for the first time, once for the funeral of my first wife. And twice for marrying the women I love. I'm dressed in the same tux today that I used to marry Beth, the same that I buried her in, and now I'm marrying Cassidy in it, too. This tux has brought me immense pleasure and equal amounts of pain. But I can't be upset; I can't find fault in it. For my life is perfect, even amongst the darkest amount of pain. You never know the value of a moment; you never know when the last breath might be taken. So find happiness in the mix of sadness, and you'll be whole... like I am. Cassidy I hadn't believed I would ever marry again; I thought my life e

Chapter: Chapter One Hundred and FourSebastian "What's he like?" Melody asks me as I walk her through the halls of the hospital where Cassidy resides with my son.Our son. The little human being that has completed my family.I can't wait for Melody to meet him, and I can't wait for our life to begin as a family of four.If you had asked me five years ago whether I would find happiness again, I might well have told you I'd die before that happened.I lost my wife, my first wife and Melody lost her mother. But the world moves in mysterious ways, and my world sure aligned to bring me a happiness I didn't know I needed.I miss Beth wholly, deeply, in fact.But I know now she sent me Cassidy as a gift and token of her love."He's beautiful, just as you were at that age," I grin."I can't wait to hold him," she tells me; she's been excited all day, apparently ever since we dropped her at my mother's early this morning. "Not long now, baby," I grin, pressing the buzzer to the maternity ward.This was the same ward Beth birth

Chapter: Chapter One Hundred and ThreeCassidyThings between Sebastian, Melody, and I change quickly. Over the next few months, I gradually started staying more and more often until it got to the point that I was at his house more than I was at home.I had never expected to move in with him, but I couldn't bring myself to ask him to move out of this home. Mainly because this is all Melody had of her mother, of Beth.All her memories with Beth are here, and though she doesn't remember much of her mother, I couldn't bear to ask her to move out of the only place that housed something of the woman she lost.So I officially moved in this weekend, just gone.It's Monday today, and I'm sitting at the dinner table in the kitchen as Melody eats her breakfast before I take her to school.It must have been about six weeks ago now that Melody asked me if I could take her to school every morning.Beforehand, she had been going to something called a breakfast club, and she hated it. Detested going with all the older kids because Sebast

Chapter: Chapter One Hundred and TwoHe repeats the same task I had just left, his cock jutting from his body as Cassidy appraises it and his unusual piercings.From top to bottom of his shaft, he has bars that I can only describe as a ladder. I forget he has the piercings, if I'm honest, but I hadn't forwarded Cassidy.I flip Cassidy onto all fours, eating her from behind but giving Cassidy the position where she can take Josh's cock as much as she wants to.My most strict rule was to give Cassidy the power regarding their interaction.Foreplay plays out over the next hour, but the time has come that I need to sink inside her.Josh is lying on the bed, and I encourage Cassidy to sit reverse cowgirl, watching, enthralled as she sinks on every inch of Josh's length.Fuck, why does that turn me on so?With my own need coursing through me, I push her back to lay on Josh as he wraps his arms around her to hold her to him, and then I kneel between their legs, cock in hand, as I watch Josh thrust softly in and out of her pussy

Chapter: Chapter One Hundred and OneSebastianIt's been around five weeks since I planned this evening with Josh. But I'm leaving the element of surprise there, having not told Cassidy of our plans this afternoon. Either way, when we return from dropping Melody off at Tina's, Josh will be here waiting for our fun afternoon.I'm mildly apprehensive, but that's only because Cassidy hasn't had more than one guy before, and I know things will be a little uncomfortable for her. But we plan on taking her together at some point before morning.Dropping Melody off is uneventful, and we do it swiftly and start to head home shortly after. Cassidy is staring out the window with a slight smile on her lips that makes me want to kiss her again.We arrive home shortly after two pm, and I watch Cassidy's reaction as she notes Josh waiting in his car on the drive.The element of surprise goes over... underwhelmingly.She greets him without any knowledge that he's here for a threesome, instead asking if he's going to crunch the numbers

Chapter: Chapter One Hundred "Did you get everything you needed?" He asks Melody."Everything," she grins."We best put them away and fold your old clothes up," I note, grinning as Sebastian looks at the multitude of what we brought.Melody and I work as a team, taking all her old clothes out of her wardrobe and drawers to place in a huge storage box.Sebastian's most absolute rule is we'll never get rid of her things. I never asked why that was, but he had storage boxes full of her clothing and blankets in his garage."Thank you," Melody tells me as I hang another dress in her wardrobe."No need to thank me, Melody.""I like having you here," she tells me as she puts the jewellery away in a handmade jewellery box on her bedroom side."I like being here, your father, and you make me very happy.""Will you stay forever?" She asks me. "As in, marry and promise to belong to one another?""You heard my phone call, huh?" I ask. Sounding a little like Sebastian as I ask it."Would it be so bad to be married to my Daddy

I hadn't expected her to wake from her nap in pain, I also hadn't expected her to tell me we won't be finding Lora but she did that to and despite knowing she probably has the gifts to see such things, I deny her allegations and pretend that we will find her. To say she took me off guard would be an understatement but all I could do was call for Theo Lilith has gone into labour a whole week before she's due but I think that's normal for multiple pregnancy but no less scary as she freaks at the pain and wails into my shoulder.She labours in bed, standing up and even in the shower.The whole time crying for Lora, feeling as if she might be replacing her with the children coming out from within her tummy.Sadness fills the room and the three of us did not enjoy the birth process at all.Our sons entered the world screaming loudly, clearing their lungs within minutes of each other and though Theo and I wanted to c
