Standing watching Bessy and Eli playing with all the other kids is like a dream come true.

I didn’t know if we would ever be able to give them a normal life. And I’m hoping that Bessy is young enough that those memories of being on her own for so long will drift away as she starts filling up her bucket with so many more fun and exciting memories.

“Happy?” Noah says in my ear in his deep voice as he comes up behind me, wrapping his arms around my waist.

“More than I can describe.” His cologne that he has started wearing tingles my senses. I bought it for him the first time I went shopping with Asha and Jodie. It sounds so silly, but it was the first thing I wanted to do. Pick a present for him, in person, in a shop like a normal person. Every time I smell it, the feeling of freedom thrums in my chest.

“Don’t worry about words, I’m just looking forward to you showing me later.” The sexy chuckle vibrates through his chest that is pressed firmly against my back.

I swat his arm around my waist, playfully.

“What? You don’t understand how hard it is to stand here and be sociable when all I want to do is take you over there into our honeymoon house farther down the beach, away from all these people, and rip it off you.” The whisper in my ear, in his deep sex voice that he knows melts me, has me now thinking the same thought. A shiver running through my body, he knows exactly what he is doing to me.

Noah thought of everything. We will stay up in the house near Kurt and Asha’s that is out on the sandy point on its own, away from the other houses in this little coastal town. It will give us a few nights on our own but still be close to the kids who will stay with Asha and Kurt. I feel bad, with Asha having a new baby in the house, but she insisted. She has plenty of help around her, and I made her promise that if it all gets too much, she'll call me and we will come and get the kids. Somehow, I doubt we will be getting a call.

“Dance with me?” Noah asks, stepping to the side of me. I nod because I would love nothing more. Pulling me to the makeshift dance floor the boys made on the back deck, suddenly everyone is parting to give us space, and the music stops.

“Our first dance as man and wife,” Noah proudly announces to our guests, and all the girls are sighing, and I can see Kurt lifting Noah’s phone to film us. A year ago, I would have had a breakdown at the thought of being videoed by anyone, but I know every person in this back yard would never post it on any social media platform, and it will be purely for us as a memento.

The music starts, and I hear the crooning voices of NSYNC through the speakers singingThis I Promise You. Who doesn’t love a boy band? And every word they’re singing resonates with us both, talking about being my strength and my hope. My heart swells as we sway together, and everyone else seems to disappear from my vision. I only see him. My Noah, my Ghost, my husband. It’s like tonight, finally all the chains on my heart have broken free. There is nothing holding us back from living the life that we choose it to be.

If that means living in the mountains and only leaving a few times a year, then that is our choice. Or buying that plane and traveling the world, seeking out adventures and showing our children how beautiful life can be. We can choose our own destiny, and that is the greatest gift we have now.

I watch Noah’s eyes roaming over my face, then down to the top of my swelling breasts that are sitting up nicely the tighter he pulls me to him. My dress is just perfect and something I would have picked myself.

White silk with lace overlay. Strapless, with a sweetheart neckline that scoops down to show my cleavage off nicely, one my husband is appreciating right now. It then swoops around a little lower on my back. It's fitted perfectly, like it was made for me, and follows my curves all the way to just above my knees, where it fans out into soft tulle that has lace motifs on it. Bessy loves that we both have a skirt, and when we were dancing a little earlier, we twirled together. My hair is out and softly curled so it falls on my shoulders. I know how much Noah loves my hair and wrapping it in his fingers, or just a soothing stroke over the top of my head. Plus, it made me feel like my mom was here with me in her own way.

Dancing this close has set off my deepest emotions again, and now, I agree with Noah. We need to leave. It’s time to be alone.

Just us, no kids, no friends, and nothing else to think about.

For so long, I could only see the darkness in my life, but now, thanks to this man, all I see is the brightness of love.

Standing on my toes, I place my lips next to his ear. “I need you to show me love.”

Those simple words are all it takes.

We say goodbye to the kids and everyone as Noah is practically dragging me to the car out front.

Desperate to be alone and get our hands on each other, Noah lifts me up into the front seat of the Range Rover, growling in my ear so no one else can hear, “Get ready for the ride of your life, sweetheart, because I’m about to fuck you so hard, for the next three days straight, that you’ll be lucky to come up for air.”

Striding around the car with speed and purpose, he is in the driver’s seat and already starting to drive forward out of the driveway.

Wearing the smile of mischief I can already feel on my face, I decide it’s time to push the man beside me. He loves it when I’m as strong as he is, and the fight for control just fuels our passion.

“That better be a promise you intend to keep. I don’t want to have to take matters into my own hands,” I say, pushing my legs together on the seat as he looks at me with fire in his eyes.

“Not happening! Have I ever let you down?” His hand takes mine and places it on his thigh, knowing we need to be connected.

“Never!” I say, sliding my hand up his leg and squeezing his cock that is already hard, and he gives me the groan I was longing to hear. “Now drive faster, I don’t want to lose a minute of our time alone.”

“Fuck, Cassie,” he growls the more I rub my hand over him.

And there he is.

My strong Ghost.

My passionate Noah.
