Bash laid a scorching kiss on me and I soon forgot about the lackluster ceremony. We quickly signed some papers and were ushered out the door by Priscilla so the next couple could begin their ceremony.
We hopped into the waiting limo with Bash being extra careful not to wrinkle my dress.
He leaned back with a sparkle of amusement in his eyes. “Any regrets?”
Did I have any regrets? No, not of marrying Bash again. But, maybe we should have made a bigger deal about the wedding. We should have hired a real photographer. And a real videographer. And maybe it would have been nice for my friends and family to see me in this fabulous wedding dress. I knew our marriage meant a lot to Bash — even our first marriage meant something to him — but the wedding trappings obviously did not. But he was right. What was important was that we loved each other.
I looked down at my bare finger. “I wish we had thought to buy rings. It would be nice if we were wearing them right now.”
He smacked his forehead. “Shit, that was stupid. We’ll pick some out tomorrow. There’s a nice jewelry store at the hotel.”
He looked upset, so I tried to lighten the mood a bit by adding in a teasing manner, “Don’t tell anyone, but I might regret the Elvis part. The little lady officiant from our first wedding was better — at least for the part that got recorded.”
“Who knew Elvis was Australian? Come here, wifey. I need another kiss.”
Bash leaned in to kiss me, but I was looking out the window. “Where are we going? We’re heading away from the hotel.”
“Oh, I forgot,” Bash said offhandedly. “The deluxe package included a free luncheon. It’s probably not the fanciest meal, but we might as well eat. I’ve worked up an appetite and we’ll need our energy later for our wedding night.”
The quality of any luncheon that was provided by the Amore Mio Wedding Chapel was suspect. “Let’s just go back to the Venetian and eat there.”
Bash looked at me like he was about to pounce on me. “If we go back to The Venetian, I’m going to drag you back to our room and strip you out of that gown and keep you there for days. Let’s eat first. Plus, I want to show off my new bride in her wedding gown. You look so incredible, Lacey.”
“Okay.” My wedding day was a bit underwhelming, but I was married to the man that I loved so desperately. My big news would have to wait. I had big, fat, exciting news, and I was bursting to tell him. I’d made it this far; I guess I could handle a mediocre lunch, and then maybe I’d be the one dragging him back to the hotel room. He looked absolutely delicious in that tuxedo. I had some plans for him and that tux was not going to come off until he’d delivered several orgasms.
We left The Strip and arrived at the restaurant somewhere in the Vegas suburbs, about twenty minutes later. I was surprised by how lovely it looked. Flowers overflowed giant cement containers near the entrance and the inside was tastefully and elegantly decorated.
I smiled with relief. “This place is beautiful. Maybe we’ll get a nice meal after all?”
His hands cupped my cheeks, and he laid a gentle kiss on my lips. “I will see you soon, gorgeous.”
“What?” Someone grabbed my elbow from behind and I spun around to confront them.
It was Kaylie.
Kaylie?
She was dressed in a beautiful gown of cerulean blue and holding a luscious, cascading bouquet of flowers.
“Kaylie? What are you doing here?”
“I’m here to help get you ready for your wedding. That’s what a matron of honor is for. Let’s go. We don’t have much time, and your lipstick is a mess.” She tugged on my hand.
Stunned, I turned back to Bash to find out what was going on. He was gone.
Kaylie led me back to the room where the bridal party was getting ready. I stepped into a sea of beautiful women wearing blue.
Talia handed me a glass of champagne. “Drink this. It looks like you could use it.”
I took a very tiny sip, looking around the room with wide eyes. “How are you all here?”
The girls went to work getting me ready. After a whirlwind of activity, twenty minutes later, we were lined up outside the closed double doors waiting to start the procession.
The groomsmen arrived and found their partners. The ring bearer and flower girl were given last-minute instructions. My mother appeared at my side and gave me air kisses. I was too stunned to say much when she congratulated me warmly. Then her new husband, Henri, escorted her to her seat.
Sid gave Kaylie a kiss. “You look beautiful, Kay. It’s time for me to go stand by Bash’s side.” He turned to me and gave me a wink before he headed inside.
The music changed, and then the procession began. First, Knox escorted Summer down the aisle. Then, Ryder and Talia, followed by Ghost and Remi. The last couple to walk down was my cousin, Sadie, escorted by Bash’s brother, Brent.
