AN HOUR LATER, AIDANstood beside his brother, watching Emma walk down the aisle in a fitted mermaid dress. The silver fabric was scattered with shimmering diamonds.
Harper, her one remaining bridesmaid, wore a deep blue strappy short dress. Was Lily’s the same? Was that why she was worried about her bruises showing?
Before he knew it, the bride and groom had said their vows.
“I promise to honor and respect, love and cherish you for the rest of my life,” Logan finished.
“You better,” Emma teased.
Everyone laughed.
Then the rings were slid on each other’s fingers while Harper wiped a tear, and Logan scooped up his bride and planted a huge, really inappropriate kiss on her lips.
Good on him.
Jacob let out a whoop and everyone stood and applauded. Music started and servers suddenly appeared as Logan dropped Emma to her feet and they were surrounded by their family.
Aidan didn’t drink much knowing he’d be jumping on a late flight, but the champagne flowed enough for him to relax and enjoy his brother’s big day.
“Congratulations, bro,” he said, hugging Logan a few hours later.
“Thanks.” Logan grinned. “She’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”
He didn’t disagree.
Emma had saved Logan from himself. He might have had his life back on track, or at least his business, but he’d been full of anger, convinced there would be no love in his future.
Aidan had never thought about it much.
He was a scientific man and loved to solve problems. He knew when the time was right, he would find love. Or it would find him.
His father’s attempt to hurry him into it withthe right womanwas nothing more than an irritation.
He wanted Lily.
And that was that.
Last night he recalled saying he wanted someone who stood out, not fit in. Ironic really, given Lily was such a wallflower.
But to him, she was as bright as a sunflower.
A sexy submissive and addictive little thing that he wasn’t going to let get away.
He hated using the word compliant, but the truth was, it made him fucking hard. Lily was compliant, obedient, and soft. But she also made him think and feel in ways no other woman had, and they barely knew each other.
He had visions of ordering her to sketch while he spread her legs and lapped at her juices. Of her tossing it aside as he flipped her over and fucked her senseless.
Of trying different toys, teaching her pleasures beyond what she knew was possible.
Aidan wanted someone who would stand beside him at events, while he received awards, and also pursue their own career goals.
Someone who would spread their legs and let him take complete control for her pleasure and his.
Someone who looked at him as though he were a God, while playing with her butterfly pendant, and with such intense desire that it took his breath away.
Aidan was sure that someone was Lily.
“You chose a good one this time, brother,” Aidan said.
