“Don’t look at me, for fuck’s sake. Look up!”
We tilted our heads back in unison. A ball of mistletoe tied with a red bow hung over our heads.
“I love you,” I whispered, drawing her gaze back to me.
“Quid pro quo,” she whispered, “I love you, too.”
Li propped one hand on her hip and leaned with her rifle barrel pointed to the floor. “Stop stalling, Halifax, and kiss the woman!”
CHAPTER 29

We arrived at the hotel room to find Mr. Whiskerbottom Fuzzypants safe and sound, curled on top of our favorite spot under the tree.
“Good job,” I told the cat. “That was two hours and fifteen minutes, and you didn’t have a meltdown.”
Gage stood behind me and kissed the nape of my neck. “He stole our spot.” He slid down my dress zipper and slipped my dress off my shoulders, letting it fall to the floor, unclasped my bra with a quick flick of his wrist, and whirled me around to face him. “I do remember something about a bed, though.”
I glanced down at my nearly naked body. “Wow, that was quick.”
“I’ve been fantasizing about doing that all day,” he said. “In my mind, I’ve had plenty of practice.”
He scooped me up and carried me to the bed, depositing me there. He undid his tie and unbuttoned his vest, throwing them both over the headboard. I leaned back and watched as he removed his cufflinks, stripped off his tux shirt, and pulled off his trousers and underwear.
“Did you also spend the day fantasizing about giving me a show?”
“No, but I’m glad you enjoyed it.” He climbed onto the edge of the bed and stalked me as I slid backward and lay across the width of it. “There’s still the small detail of these.” He put one finger inside the waistband of my black panties and tugged. “And by small, I mean teeny-tiny. Did you wear this tiny little bit of lace hoping I’d see it?”
I wiggled my hips to entice him, not that he needed any encouragement. His erection pressed into the fabric between my legs. “I wonder if you could rip through the fabric with your cock.”
He grinned. “I like the way you think, 6B, but I want these panties to live to see another day.” He slid them off my hips and down my legs and dropped them to the floor. He reached for the box on the nightstand and withdrew a condom. He ripped open the pack while I gripped his cock, working him and making him moan.
He pushed me onto my back and slid on the protection, then hooked my legs over his shoulders. He ran his thumb over my clit and down my wet seam. “I want to do so many things to you right now, but I think we’re both desperate for me to be inside you.”
“Mmm.” I arched toward him in case there was any doubt. “I like the wayyouthink, 6A.”
He slid into me hard and deep. We moved fast against each other for the first few seconds, then he slowed the pace. “I know this has to be quick so we can get back, but I need to savor you, too.”
He moved so slowly and carefully; it was exquisite and excruciating at the same time. He increased the pace and brought me close to climax, then backed off again. Then he sped up again, and I rocked hard against him.
“Do. Not. Slow. Down.” I begged.
I nipped his lower lip until he kissed me, his tongue plunging into my mouth, following the rhythm of his cock. I crossed my legs behind his back and pulled him closer, riding him like a power bottom, pulling us both into a slow, burning slide until he exploded inside me. eat flooded my body, and I shattered into a million pieces and lay in ruins beneath him.
CHAPTER 30

Five minutes later, we'd recovered enough to clean up, collect ourselves, and climb back into our wedding clothes. We both hesitated by the door, in no rush to return to the crowd when two was such a perfect number.
“Later tonight, we’re going to take our time,” Gage promised. He leaned down to kiss me.
A knock pounded on the door, and we jumped apart.
“Gage, are you in there?” Will called.
Gage opened the door. “Yeah, I’m here. What’s wrong?”
