“What about you, Laurelyn? You all right? You didn’t actually doubt I’d show up, did you?”

“No, I knew you’d be here. Eventually. On Trick time.”

“You’re not gonna begrudge me nine minutes, are you? I waited a decade for you.” The corners of my mouth flirt with a smile. “What’s nine minutes when I just promised you the rest of my life?”

“I’m not mad. But my dad might be. And for a long time.”

I shake my head. “I’ve got that covered.”

“You do, huh?”

“Sure. They’re called grandkids. He’s gonna get the cutest little heartbreakers ever. There is zero chance he’s gonna hold up against them.”

Her smile at that is the real heartbreaker.

“Hey. I’ll take a kiss. A real one.”

“You sure you want to mess up the thousand-dollar lipstick application before all the thousand-dollar-per-minute photographers are finished with me?”

“Pictures are over. I shared you all week. I’m done with that. You’re mine, and I want you to myself. Don’t forget I’ve got the law on my side now. If you ever try to leave, I’ll just have you arrested and brought back to me.”

She laughs. “The law on your side. That’s new.”

“Yeah.”

Looking up at me through her lashes, she whispers, “You really think the law is going to take your side over mine on anything? Doubt it.”

I sigh and shrug. “Maybe not. To hell with them, then. The C Crue castle has those turrets. As a medieval warlord, I guess when I go out I’ll lock you in a tower so I don’t misplace you.”

She tosses her head back and laughs that deep throaty laugh that calls my cock to attention.

“Hey?”

When she finally stops laughing she says, “Yes?”

Sliding an arm around her waist, I pull her against me and whisper in her ear, “If I don’t get my kiss soon, a certain girl’s going to be in trouble tonight.” My hand slides down over beaded lace to grip her ass.

Laurel sucks in a surprised breath. When she speaks her voice is a hiss. “No messing around in church, Trick.”

She hands me the leverage, so I use it. “Give me my kiss, and I’ll let you go.”

Looking around to be sure no one’s watching, she licks her lips, her cheeks flushing. I flash her a smile. I know I can’t have sex with her in church, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to.

Then my beautiful new wife gives me a kiss, and I get the hit of pure pleasure that always comes with it.

The End
