Page 24 of Resisting Your Love

"The last time I did this, I had Mimi by my side.

" I stared at myself in the mirror, loving the way the dress felt against my flesh.

I was in the same room where I had been for the first wedding.

I made sure I prayed through this room over the past month.

I didn't want any negative energy lingering. It was all brand new.

"Well, you don't have to ever worry about her again. You got me," Zyanna reassured me with a beam. She adjusted my dress in the back, ensuring it was straight.

The dress I wore was longer and fuller than the first one. The color of my dress was champagne gold with small sparkles all over it. I wanted to feel like a princess, and my husband made sure I did. I felt beautiful.

Zyanna and I became close during the months Levi and I were together. I loved the friendship that had blossomed between us. She had introduced me to her friends, and I could see us all getting along well. The minute I felt a bad vibe, I would distance myself. Everything was good as of now.

I still couldn't believe Levi had proposed to me a month ago. Since then, we've been planning for the wedding. He wanted to be involved, too, so I made sure he was.

"Thank you for being a friend."

We shared a hug. "Always. Now let's go get you married to my cousin."

My father was giving me away again, but this time, I was happy to be on his arm. With a smile on my face and tears shining in my eyes, I made my way to Levi. He had a smile on his face as well, and I saw the tears that shone in his eyes.

The ceremony began, and I was in a blissful mood. Levi and I stared into each other's eyes and burst out laughing. We took nothing seriously, which was why we were a match made in heaven.

"You may kiss your bride."

Levi wasted no time, pulling me into his arms and kissing my lips with so much passion that I was ready to make love to him right here, right now.

Several people cleared their throats while Zyanna and River cheered us on.

When we finally pulled away from each other, it was only to catch our breaths.

My arms were wrapped around Levi's neck as we moved against each other on the dance floor, sharing our first real dance. A smile covered his face as he peered at me.

"What?" I innocently asked.

He shook his head. "Nothing. I just can't wait to start our honeymoon. Where do you want to go again?"

I twisted my lips, trying to think of any place in the world I wanted to go. "Hmm, I don't want to go anywhere far. Remember, I have two events coming up."

He scoffed. "Fuck them. We are taking two weeks off. Since you haven't said where you want to go, I'll just take you somewhere."

"Well, do you then, sir."

Levi lowered his head and kissed me. "We did it."

I agreed. "Yes, we did. Even when I was trying to resist your love, it happened anyway."

He chuckled. "Aye, the feeling is mutual, but I'm glad we finally saw what was in front of us, and that was our love for each other."

"Right. Now we have the rest of our lives to do whatever, but while I'm with you, I don't care what we do as long as we're doing it together."

"I hear that, baby. I love you."

"I love you more."

We locked lips again, holding onto each other, not wanting to let go. As our guest cheered us on, we kept kissing, not wanting to be away from each other. This was love. This was my life. I was Amryn Smith.
