“Thank you, Luke. You’re the best friend a gal could ask for.” Guilt twinges my heart when I hear Kenny Chesney sing the chorus of Anything But Mine; Luke’s silent way of telling me that I may not be his, but I’ll forever be in his heart. I falter momentarily biting my lip hard, trying to stop the rush of tears that flood my eyes. He doesn’t pay any mind as he hums the song, smiling happily as we dance together.
“Alright, Ashton. Hands off my woman. You’ve had one dance too many, asshole.” Colton says nudging Luke’s shoulder as the song nearly ends.
“I’ve only had one dance, prick.” Luke laughs.
“My point exactly. So unless you wanna be shark bait, hands off my wife.”
“Alright you two, that’s enough. Damn it, I ain’t dancin’ with either of you baboons. I’m gonna go plant my thick ass in that chair and cool off. Dance with each other or something.” I throw my hands up in the air and stomp off. “Sheesh y’all drive me insane with your He-Man bullshit.” I can hear them laughing behind me, cuttin’ up with each other and probably making fun of my ass bouncing as I waddle away towards the tent. But I’m too tired to care.
I grab a plate of food and go sit with Savannah who’s flicking macaroni salad from one side of her plate to the next. “Why the long face, sweets?”
“Oh, I didn’t see ya!” She shouts, shuddering in surprise. “The wedding was beautiful. I didn’t cry that hard at my own wedding.” She smiles and her dim hazel eyes glisten with unshed tears.
“Sis, don’t cry. It’s a happy night. Go dance with the boys and have fun.”
“Nah, I have two left fe
et, you know that. Are you all packed up to drive down to St. Johns Island?” She asks, mindfully changing the subject. Colton and I are leaving shortly to our beach house for a short honeymoon. Heidi Jo will be staying behind with Emma and Bill here in Myrtle Beach for a few more days before heading back home to Kentucky.
“Tahoe’s loaded up now. What day are you going home?”
“Ha! Never.” She throws her head back laughing.
“Atta girl. Leave Kentucky in the wind and call Myrtle Beach home. What else do you have to look back for, Savannah?”
She huffs sarcastically, rolling her eyes. “Gotta play house.” She shrugs, looking off into the distance. Luke looks up from the beach and smiles at us. Savannah smiles for a second before dropping her chin to her chest, hiding her face. I hate knowing she carries so many burdens on her shoulders, but I can only hold her hand when she’s ready to walk away.
“Momma, you didn’t dance with me. Come on, we gotta show Daddy and Uncle Luke how ya shake it.” Heidi Jo giggles.
“Sweetie, Momma’s feet are tired.” I whine, but she’s relentless, grabbing my hand and trying to pull my ass out of the chair. To keep from squashin’ my dear child, I stand up quickly and follow her out to the beach. Savannah follows behind me, already laughing as Wobble by V.I.C. blasts from the speakers. I know this is just a sick joke for their laughing enjoyment, but who gives a damn; this is my night.
My hips move from side to side with the thumping rhythm, my ass droppin’ low on each four count. “Wobble, Momma!” Heidi Jo calls over Savannah’s roaring laughter. Colton’s hands find my hips, pulling me back against him and I shriek in surprise at his hardened erection pressing into my ass cheek.
“You better be ready to go, ‘cause I’m ‘bout to blow,” he hums, trailing his tongue against my flush neck. Swatting at his hand, I grind my ass against his hips just to tease him more.
“Not just yet, darlin’!” I say leaning my head back against his chest. I can feel his chest rattle, vibrating against my back and it only excites me more. Damn, didn’t think I could get a rise outta him just by shakin’ my ass. Literally.
The song switches to Dance by Jennifer Lopez and I let the music carry me away, completely drunk on a lust induced high. Taking full advantage of this moment, I turn around to face him and glide my hands up his thighs gripping his cock tightly. His eyes roll back in his head as he swallows a lump in his throat. I let my hands roam up his chest and over his neck as I capture his lips in mine, but I pull away quickly before he can deepen the kiss. I swing back around, pressing my ass against his cock and sway to the beat of the song. “You’re evil.” He mutters against my neck, digging his fingers into my hips trying to grind against me harder. I throw my hands up in the air laughing as I wriggle from his hold, twisting my hips as I dance towards Heidi Jo. Luke drops his chin to his chest, shaking his head laughing at a stunned Colton.
I dance one more song with Heidi Jo and Brailee before Colton all but drags me back up to the tent to cut the cake. The three tier cake is small, yet elegant with ivory buttercream icing and turquoise fondant hibiscus flowers to match the bouquets and boutonnieres. After cutting two small slivers of cake, Colton links his arm in mine, bringing his hand up to my mouth to feed me and I mimic his movement. He opens his mouth taking a bite and I follow, but instead of putting the cake in my mouth he smashes it against my cheek.
“CAKED!” Savannah bellows out, doubling over in a fit of laughter as she tries to snap pictures.
“That’s just a piece of your punishment for bein’ so damn evil on the beach.” Colton chuckles in my ear, licking the cake from my face.
“Don’t tease me with a good time.” I giggle against his lips.
After changing clothes, we say goodbyes to our families. The drive to St. John’s Island is only about two hours from Myrtle Beach, but it’s already late and I’m exhausted. I recline my seat and kick my legs up on the dash and drift off to sleep.
“Wake up, Mrs. Weston. You’re home.” Rubbing my sleepy eyes I yawn, stretching my arms up high above my head before Colton helps me down out of the SUV and leads me up the small pea-rock driveway. Unlocking the front door he pushes it open before wrapping his arm under my knees and cradling me to his chest to cross the threshold. He places a swift kiss to my lips as he places my feet gently on the floor; his lips smiling against mine.
“Sit tight, let me grab our luggage, darlin’.”
I wander through the house, double checking that the management company had cleaned and groceries were delivered as I had arranged. I haven’t been here in ten years; everything looks different, yet the same.
Making my way upstairs, I open the french doors to the master bedroom balcony. The sweet, salty air breezes past me as I step outside and take in the beauty of the moon hanging low over the ocean. No matter how many times I see it, my breath is always taken away. I feel warm, corded arms circle my stomach, as Colton pulls me against his chest. He nestles his face in my hair as he trails the tip of his nose along the side of my throat. “Damn, woman. You are so perfect.” He whispers as he presses delicate kisses to my pulse point. I sigh quietly and my knees tremble.
He turns me in his arms and threads his fingers through my hair, capturing my lips between his. His kiss is ever so tender and gentle that warm tingles crawl up my spine. I melt into his touch, my mind cloudy and lust filled. His lips never leave mine as he walks me backwards into the bedroom. He pulls away briefly, slipping the dress from my shoulders before hooking his thumbs in my panties and sliding them down my legs. He undresses, keeping his eyes on mine and an ever present smirk firmly in place.
