My reclusive Neighbor

I (33) moved next my reclusive neighbor 38 just after marrying didn't meet or see him for 6 months or so. I thought the house was empty as no lights showed at night and had never seen anybody visiting or there at all. But I still worked and was gone most of everyday and on the weekends my husband and I were out visiting or on the lake. My marriage quickly failed as my husband got caught with another woman by her husband. Who shot both dead on the spot and now widowed instead of divorced. My husband was buried, and I started my life over, luckily no children at the time. I'd only been married just under six months when he was shot dead. I quickly realized I had been his way to a quick promotion in his career as his employers preferred married people for senior positions, saying they were more reliable. Still in shock at the betrayal of my husband and his sudden death. I was home alone on a weekend when I finally saw my neighbor for the first time in May of 2022. We didn't speak and I at first thought he was checking over the property. But later that same week I saw him inside the house as the curtains were open for a while. As the house was fully furnished, I realized he was living there. A week later we finally met, and I found out he owned the house and had lived there all his life. Being a late child his parents both passed away and no siblings, he lived and worked from his home. Over the next month we spoke more often, mainly me doing the talking and he just listening. He's a great listener, anyway we became friends more or less and I finally got him to go with me to my work Christmas party. I didn't want to go alone, and my neighbor is tall and well-muscled. I mainly wanted him to fend off the office Romeos, who would try and pick me up and I'd already told them at work earlier I was seeing someone. So, I needed someone with me at the party, it done the trick. He stayed with me the whole time said very little and his presence kept the Romeos away. I was happy and enjoyed the party more with him there and so started getting him to go out with me more often. It got easier each time, finally decided I wanted to have sex with him. I might have rush it a bit, as I wasn't protected as it had lapsed since the death of my husband. I made the move on him, and we became lovers and sex became regular between us. Of course, I realized I wasn't protected 2 days later when thinking of repeating our sexual actions again. Not too concerned, I started to take precautions, but it was a case of shutting the gate after the horse had bolted. Realizing I might be pregnant I got tested and I was positive to being pregnant. I told my neighbor and he said we should marry. As he had no family he knew of, we married by eloping and in January this year we had our daughter. I rent out my old home and am quite happy with life now. At least I know my husband isn't out chasing other women, like first husband had been doing.
