"No, it's fine. I was just overreacting." I wasn't sure why I was so on edge. Everything was fine. I took a deep breath.

"I promise we have everything under control," Porter said. "He just slipped away from me."

"Thank you, Porter. I know you do. I'm sorry that I bothered you."

Porter smiled. "It wasn't a bother. And here he is now."

I turned my head to see James coming down the hall. He was holding two glasses and a bottle of champagne.

I didn't want him to know how worried I had been. This moment wasn't going to be tainted by a stupid fear. I took a deep breath to calm my nerves and opened up the door for him.

James walked into the room and placed the glasses and champagne bottle down on the table. I heard the pop of the cork. But I didn't want champagne. I wanted him.

I grabbed his arm so that he'd face me. Nothing mattered right now except for us. We had both been waiting for this moment for so long. "You're my husband."

The smile that spread across his face was contagious. "And you're my wife."

I grabbed his tie and pulled him toward me. "There's still one more thing we need to do before it's official."

"And what is that? I just thought we'd have a private toast and take a few moments to talk."

"Seriously?"

He laughed. "Fuck no." He grabbed my waist and pulled me against him. "If it was up to me, I'd be making love to my newwife for the rest of the night." He leaned down and kissed me softly.

I wanted to make love to him too. But I was amped up from worrying. I grabbed a fistful of his hair and deepened the kiss. I was on edge and I knew that the only thing that would calm me down was him deep inside of me. I reached down and unhinged his belt.

He groaned into my mouth as he pushed my back against the wall.

I made short work of his zipper and ran my fingers to the waistline of his pants.

He grabbed my hands and lifted them above my head. "Not so fast, baby." He pressed the backs of my hands against the wall.

"You have your whole life to torture me." I squirmed under his grip. I wanted to touch him.

I felt him smile as he kissed the side of my neck. "I promised you that I'd make love to you tonight."

"At the hotel, later. Right now we're just consummating our marriage real quick." I hooked my leg around his waist.

"No, not quickly." He kissed the side of my neck again and slowly left a trail of kisses down the front of my chest and between my breasts.

"I need you, James. You have no idea how much I need you."

"Then you know how I feel all the time." He grabbed my ass and lifted my legs around him.

I could feel how hard he was. His erection was pressed against my stomach as he lowered me onto the table.

"I've been waiting my whole life for this moment. I'm going to savor every second of it." He bent down in front of me and kissed the inside of my ankle as he slowly pushed my dress up.

I wasn't going to be able to take his torturous ascent. "James, please."

"Insatiable as ever," he said once he reached the inside of my knee.

I knew my whole body was trembling with want. All I could feel were his lips on my skin.

"I like this," he said and snapped my garter against my thigh.

I squirmed and he tightened his grip on me.
