Finn
“Can I have this dance?” I break in on Raven and Ryan.
He gives me her hands and backs away as I pull her to me.
“You are a beautiful bride.”
“Thank you Finn, thank you for everything.”
“Raven don’t you know by now I would do anything for you?”
“I feel the same about you. But I am so thankful you agreed to be part of my special day. At first Declan thought I was being cruel, but I really needed you standing up there with us.”
“I’ll admit Rave, I wasn’t sure how I’d feel being up there watching you marry another man. But after listening to your vows, I know you picked the right guy. He really loves you, and I believe he’ll take care of you forever. You two are meant to be together.”
“Finn Black, you are going to find the love of your life one day.” Raven says as her eyes fill with tears.
“No waterworks, RJ, I can only hope to find what I saw today. No matter what happened, my time with you was the best in my life, but you were meant to be Mrs. Declan Collins. And I am very happy about it.”
“Thank you, I love you.”
“You too, Baby Girl, you too.”
Chapter 49
Honeymoon
Raven
What is that buzzing sound? I reach over to the nightstand to try and find the annoying culprit, but there’s nothing there.
“Sparkle, we have to get up.” Declan says quietly against my neck.
“We just went to sleep.”
“We got three hours in, I promise you for the next week, we can sleep as much as you want. But today, we have to get going.”
“Why so early?” I ask burying my head under the pillow to hide.
“First, I want to take a bath and order breakfast. Then we have to get back to the condo and get the rest of our luggage and say goodbye to our families. Our shuttle to the airport leaves at twelve-thirty.”
“Um hmm.”
“Sorry babe, but it’s really not my fault. I blame it on the outfits.”
I smile remembering last night. When Declan dragged me away from our reception to the waiting car, he practically mauled me in the backseat. Our room at the Ritz was more like a suite, which was a shame because we wouldn’t get to enjoy it.
I wanted to change into my wedding lingerie at once, but Declan insisted on taking off my dress. Once he saw my strapless bra and matching lace panties, he attacked me right against the bedroom wall. It wasn’t the most romantic way to consummate our marriage, but he made up for it later when I was able to show off my nightie.
The entire night we spent in each other’s arms. After the first time, it wasn’t rushed or hard. We made love every way possible until we crashed around six this morning. There wasn’t one inch of my body Declan hadn’t kissed, licked or caressed. Now I needed sleep, and he wanted me to get up and socialize?
“Declan, I didn’t get to keep the outfits on for more than a few minutes. Come up with another excuse.”
“Okay, I blame it on the sexy vixen wearing the outfits. Better?”
“I suppose. How much of a chance do I have to convince you to let me sleep another half hour?”
