“Where are you going?” I sounded crazed, desperate at the sight of his retreating back.
“To make coffee and pancakes. Where else? Oh, you might want to hurry out of bed. We have a proposal to plan.”
“What?”
“Tank bought Brandi a big ass ring. We bought Tank a tux. Tank needs our help. Are you in?”
“I’m so in. I’m all in actually,” I smiled as our eyes met.
“Good, so am I,” he whistled as he left my room.
EPILOGUE SAVANNAH
“Do you miss it here?”I turned to River after I took the last four steps to reach the top of Mount Washington. It was a very unique and unexpected honeymoon but one that would be unforgettable.
“I do.”
Smiling, I reached out, cupped his cheek and stood on the tips of my boots to press a kiss to his mouth. “You already said those words to me.”
“Is this honeymoon okay? Because if you wanted a Sandals resort we could still do that…”
“It’s perfect.” He moved to stand behind me, wrapped his arms around my waist as we both took in the spectacular view.
“It feels like we are on top of the world. I’ve never been happier.”
“That’s a relief since I was worried how you’d feel being married to a Prez of a road gang.”
I turned, smacking his chest playfully. “I was worried there’d be a shoot out at our wedding between all the different chapters of Clubs in attendance.”
“Nah, Hacker and Tank had the place locked down. I’m sorry we had to use plastic utensils but I couldn’t risk The Outlaws or The Bastards taking stabs at one another since you insisted on having an open bar. Or me using one to stab Dean’s eyes out they way he was looking at mywife.”
“It was beautifully chaotic wedding. Everyone we both loved and hated were there. Besides, Dean and I were never like that and you know it. You got to me first. Snaked your way inside my soul and I couldn’t get you out.”
“Fucking right,” he growled. “I was prepared for you old man to object.”
“Yeah, I felt you tense up.”
“He’s never going to like me. Hell, I half expect him to order a hit on our warehouse just fuck with me because he knows I’m away.“
“A baby will bring everyone together.
“Savvy?”
“No, not yet. Maybe in a few years…” As I surveyed the valley full of thick green grass below us until the land curved up seeming to touch the sky, I imagined a beautiful little girl with her daddy’s eyes and my grit. I inhaled deeply, enjoying how pure the air was here with no particles of desert dust. I couldn’t wait to camp again on our way back down the mountain.
River had definitely surprised me by whisking us away to New Hampshire. He pampered me at the Inn at Mount Washington with spa days, fine dining, and boutique shopping before announcing we were going to spend the next three days camping and hiking our way to the summit of the majestic mountain behind the hotel.
We made love under the starry night’s for hours, our skin reflecting the glow of the campfire.
It was rustic, rough, romantic as fuck. Especially when he was above me, his eyes almost feral with lust as he proclaimed “mine” over and over as he slammed his hips into mine.
“Ready, babe?”
“For what?”
“To be a member of the mild high club?”
“Huh?” I arched a brow.
