He seems to have totally lost control of his senses, because in the next second he’s hovering over me, tugging at the cotton strings of my bikini bottoms with his teeth.
“Shep! We’re in public!”
This only seems to egg him on even more, and he rips away the bikini bottoms and spreads me wide for him.
I look around frantically, even though I know there are no people around.
Then I forget everything else exists as I lose myself in the feel, and the sound, of his mouth devouring me.
I let go and let it happen, running my fingers through his hair as he has his way.
He works me into a frenzy, and when I scream out his name, it echoes off the island cliffs in the distance.
I don’t know what this new little life will bring, but I’m ready to teach him or her everything that Shep has brought out in me. No fear. No shame. No “shoulds.”
Just goodness.
Epilogue
Five years later
Shep
Our four-year-old son, Levi, is wowing the weddings guests by pedaling his little vintage red tricycle down the aisle, two rings strung on a rainbow ribbon tied to the handlebars.
In his seersucker suit and suspenders, he’s dressed exactly like me but I can confirm, he’s getting a much more enthusiastic reception.
“Nobody swooned and clapped when they watched us walk in a minute ago,” I mutter into my wife’s ear.
She admonishes me out of the side of her mouth and adjusts her celebrant’s stole over her robe. “Behave yourself.”
I’m standing with her at the head of the tent as best man. After all this time, I’m proud to be asked to bear witness at Hanley’s wedding to his Bryce.
It took a while to get to this point. After the guys came out publicly about their relationship, it was a shitstorm. There were arguments, families torn apart, fights, media coverage, death threats, and eventually an investigation into the financials of the compound.
As the former pastor, Bryce had to spend a lot of time giving depositions to lawyers over the whole mess. Eventually, Jane’s uncle was indicted for tax fraud. The IRS dismantled the entire compound.
Along with all of that, Jane and I strongly encouraged Bryce and Hanley to go to therapy to deal with all the brainwashing from the cult in which they were raised. Bryce even went so far as to reach out and make amends to everyone who used to listen to his sermons at the compound back in the day.
After it was all settled and done, Pops and Cherie bought the land back from the government, and the four of us have turned it into a huge community garden, managed by Jane.
Not only that, but Jane attended seminary and divinity school. She’s now sought out for officiating at weddings for couples who want a moderately spiritual aspect as well as a legal ceremony, but who have been refused by traditional clergy.
“No internet ordination for me,” she had said to me, and I supported her all the way.
As for my coffee shop, we now have five stores across the state and are about to go nationwide. Tamira is in charge of operations and I see a CEO position for her in the not too distant future.
The ceremony flows like a dream; Bryce and Hanley both radiate with so much love that there’s not a dry eye under the tent.
After Jane pronounces them married, the two of us skip the cocktail hour and slip away to the greenhouse. Little Levi is attached to his Big Poppa, my dad, allowing us to sneak away.
We walk hand in hand slowly, due to my Jane’s slight discomfort at being hugely pregnant with our girl twins.
Inside the greenhouse, my wife leads me to the cozy seating area inside a small bird-watching conservatory that she had added on after she took over the farm.
We sit together on the white cushions and make out amid the scent of jasmine and honeysuckle.
When she was pregnant with our Levi, she was nauseated for nine months straight. For some reason, this pregnancy has been kind to her and to me. She’s horny as hell.
