His Secret Obsession
Chapter 126

(Asher)

I glanced over at my beautiful wife as I couldn't help but rub my hand up and down her thigh..f**k she looked gorgeous tonight. She wore a soft pink sweater with light blue jeans and had her hair up in a ponytail..giving me a perfect view of the hickeys I left

scattered across her throat.

She tried to cover them up with concealer but that attempt failed..besides, everyone we are seeing tonight knows she is mine. I guess she just doesn't want to tick off her uncle more than necessary. But I couldn't be any more excited..if this happened a few months ago, yeah..I would be sweating bullets.. But he got a girl pregnant too! So he can't say shit.

This is going to be one of the best days of my life I swear..I can't wait to see Jack's smug face fall when reality hits him.

"What are you smiling about over there?" Emery asked me suspiciously and I just gripped her hand and brought it to my lips, pressing a sweet kiss against her soft skin before placing it back in her lap.

"Just excited for tonight. Now..don't go blurting this out..I want to be there to see your uncle's face when you tell him." I mumbled, knowing Emery struggles with keeping this type of stuff in. "Me?! You are just as bad as I am." She grumbled, making me chuckle.

"Oh, my beautiful wife..you are so cute when you get things wrong. I keep it in the vault..I mean..I did talk with you for six months without revealing anything." I reminded her, making Emery scoff.

"Not sure that's something to brag about. It was a little sketchy..." She muttered, making my head snap to her.

"Sketchy?! Did you seriously just say that? You said it was romantic!" I gasped, knowing Em was just trying to get me riled up..which was working.

"Well I mean..looking back you could've been some fifty-year-old dude and I was naive enough to fall for it." She shrugged, making me slide my hand down and squeeze her thigh.

"No fifty-year-old man has a voice like this..you fell in love with my sexy voice and charming personality." I reminded her as I wore my most sultry smile to get my point across.

"Yeah..it definitely had nothing to do with that special picture you sent me." She cleared her throat and darted her eyes away from me. I burst out laughing, she was talking about the dick pic I sent her when we first started chatting online.

"Well, it lived up to the picture didn't it?" I asked, fishing for compliments like the desperate man I have become.

"Yes baby..you did good." She said in an overly sweet voice as she patted my leg like I was some type of dog..but I will take it..I did great..really fucking great. I mean look at her..my big guy got her pregnant even when she was on birth control..that's pretty damn good if you ask me.

"I love you baby." She laughed before leaning over towards me and placing a gentle kiss on my cheek. If I wasn't driving I would've asked for more..much much more. I'm greedy when it comes to my wife..

"I love you too kitten..fuck..l still can't believe you are pregnant." I breathed, glancing at my girl once more as her beautiful cheeks turned pink.

"I know..do you think my dad might be upset that we didn't wait?" She asked nervously before biting her lip and placing her hand on her stomach which honestly made my heart just about burst.

"Knowing your dad, he might already have it all figured out..he probably knew the damn day it happened or some shit. Let's just say I'm glad your dad likes me.." I shuddered involuntarily..knowing Em's dad can be a scary guy if he wants to be.

Em doesn't exactly know about this...but after the whole Ethan thing happened..I guess Allen went and had a word with Ethan's dad who was being detained at the time. Carson told me about it and said Allen sent the guy to the hospital. He obviously survived.. But

still, Allen seemed so calm and collected about the whole thing...so it was surprising to hear. Now the asshole is in prison for bribing a judge and assisting in a kidnapping. He gave Ethan a damn car and burner phone..so the evidence was pretty strong. The Judge even stepped down and lost his license, I heard he only got house arrest though instead of jail time... Luckily Em didn't have to get involved and testify or anything.

We have put all that shit behind us and just decide to focus on the now. The nightmares were bad there for a while but then she started seeing a trauma therapist. We actually did a few sessions together and it really helped out a lot.

I love my wife more than anything in this world..and to think of the shit she had to go through..it makes me furious. I will never let another person hurt Em ever again.

We pulled into Em's dad's place as I parked and raced around the front of the car to help my wife out. After shutting the passenger door and gripping her hand, I reached into the back of the jeep for the groceries we got before coming here.

Em was making dinner and apparently I was supposed to be helping..okay..I can't lie.. I am the worst f*****g cook ever.

I try so damn hard..I mean..the best I can do is make Em the cereal she likes. I kind of have eggs down now with microwave bacon. F**k..I know..I s**k. But she cooks so well and seems to love to do it..but on a more positive note..I do the dishes now, so that's fair right?

Just as we were nearing the front door, Carson and Jackie came out, waving happily to us as we waved back.

"Don't act weird. Carson will pick up on something." Em suddenly muttered next to me, making me stiffen.

"I'm not acting weird..you whispering to me right in front of them is acting weird." I whispered back, narrowing my eyes down at her as she elbowed me in the side, almost making me drop the groceries.

"Hey Em, you doing okay? You look a little pale..especially around the neck." Carson asked woth concern, making me almost burst out in laughter. It was the f*****g makeup she was wearing.I swear it's like two shades lighter than her usual tone. Yeah, she doesn't wear much makeup so maybe it's old or something. I have no fucking clue..

"Yeah. I'm fine..everything's fine." She said hastily before wrapping her arms around Carson and hugging him..

Real smooth babe..that was totally convincing...not.

By this rate freaking Carson will replace out and we all know he can't keep a secret to save his damn life.

"I love that sweater Em, and hey Ash, nice to see you." Jackie added before hugging Em and me.

She and Carson are still going strong. I have a feeling neither of them are fully ready to take the next step though. I think Carson loves living with Allen and Jackie is still going to school full time. They aren't in a rush and that's cool..I guess I just wanted to move fast with Em because it felt right. But that's not for everyone and I think it's the right move for Carson. He is still healing from the stuff with his dad and Allen is really helping with that.

"Hey dude, let's go drink a beer in the back." Carson said before nodding to me and walking towards the house.

"Babe, you hang out with Carson, Jackie said she will help me cook." Em announced from behind me and I quickly turned around and looked down at her. Oh, thank god..I was dreading this.

"Are you sure babe?" I asked, not wanting to do it but willing to if she needed me...I always want to spend time with my wife..even if it involves nearly chopping my finger off..

"Hang out with Carson and relax. We got this." She smiled sweetly at me and I couldn't help but kiss her deeply..which apparently lasted too long for Carson's liking because he soon began clearing his throat and shifting on his feet awkwardly, making Jackie laugh. After parting, I put the groceries on the counter and went to grab a beer from the fridge. That's when I felt my phone vibrate. I took it out and quickly checked it.

From Wifey: Remember baby..don't say anything! Also...love you :)

I couldn't help but roll my eyes and smile as I typed something back.

To Wifey: Same goes for you my beautiful wife..one gasp from Jackie and I will know...love you too kitten.

I responded before putting my phone away and opening the beer. I followed Carson outside in the back and sat on a patio chair outside. I guess Allen had a fire going in the firepit he built a few months ago..where was he anyway?

"So..what's new?" Carson asked casually before taking a sip of his beer..then it started to bubble up..the truth of what was going on was now at the tip of my tongue as the urge to spill it consumed me..no..I can't f*****g lose first...what the hell is wrong with me?! I went to open my mouth to say something..anything..don't say pregnant..don't you dare fucking say pregnant.

"Em's expecting." I blurted, almost slapping my hand over my face..well..I technically didn't say pregnant.

Carson spit his beer out, which sprayed all over me, as he gasped from shock.

"Em's pregnant?!" He practically yelled, causing me to slap my hand over his mouth.

"Shh..she's going to hear you!" Fuck..I'm going to be in trouble...

Shit..when did I grow so weak...I was not off to a great start...let's hope Em is doing better than me..
