Chapter Ten
Lennox - Three Months Later
The wedding was quickly approaching. Kathryn planned the whole thing and everything was turning out just as I pictured it. I paid the final payment on my dress and it had been shipped to me so we didn’t have make another trip back to California. Kathryn had it steamed; It was wrinkle free and it had been hanging in the closet in the spare bedroom so Mason wouldn’t see it. I was a sucker for traditions.
We had one week until the wedding and even though the planning was hectic, I couldn’t have been any more excited. It was time for our bachelor and bachelorette parties and while I was excited, I also didn’t want to leave Mason.
We wanted to have one big party together, but Alissa and Dane wouldn’t hear of it. They said the best man and the maid of honor got to plan the parties. Like the dumbasses we were, we agreed.
Neither Mason nor myself knew where we were going to be, only that we would be gone for the weekend. The night before, we spent our time together packing, having dinner, and just having a quiet night at home. I had been kept busy with Kathryn and the wedding, while Mason was busy with the shop and soccer.
I was finally allowed to be left alone, although I wasn’t really alone because Kathryn was always there going over something for the wedding.
We hadn’t heard or seen Chris since the night he broke into the shop. Once he was hospitalized, they put him in a coma to let his brain heal. As it turned out, Mason caused Chris a little bit of brain damage. It took him two months before he was out of the hospital and then he was taken to jail. He bailed out soon after because he had money to do it, but with the seriousness of his crime, he was placed on house arrest back in California. We hadn’t heard from him since.
He had gotten back into the spotlight with everything that had happened. You couldn’t stop on an entertainment channel or see a magazine cover that didn’t have him on it. I picked up a magazine one day only to read how he had managed to turn his life around. He issued a statement owning up to the abuse and made a big deal of showing off his attempts at bettering himself with AA classes and anger management. He issued an apology to me for all wrong doings and somehow managed to win over everyone after all. I couldn’t believe it, but I didn’t care what he did with his life as long as he stayed out of mine.
When Mason finally made it home from practice, Kathryn took the hint and left us alone. We had a quick dinner of spaghetti with a side salad, opened a bottle of wine, and moved to the balcony to eat while star gazing.
After cleaning up our mess, Mason grabbed me up in his arms and carried me to the bathroom. He set me down in front of the mirror before reaching into the shower and turning on the water.
He slowly stepped up behind me, pressing kisses along my shoulder and up to my neck where he paused to let my hair down.
As it fell down around me, our eyes locked in the mirror. I could see a hundred emotions burning behind them.
He pulled his shirt over his head and returned his eyes to the mirror to stay locked with mine.
His hands came around my stomach, his fingers grazing over the small sliver of skin that peeked between my shirt and jeans. Goosebumps rose as his rough fingertips moved to my side, grasping my shirt to yank it over my head.
He tore his eyes from mine again. I watched him in the mirror as he unclasped my bra and brushed the straps from my shoulders with his lips.
His lips were touching me softly, teasing me with every caress. I let my head fall back against his strong chest while his hands roamed my body.
He held my breasts and massaged them, rolling my nipples between his fingers before his hands descended lower.
Before I knew it, I was completely naked in front of him. He spun me around and our lips crashed together. I couldn’t wait any longer to feel him against me. His slow movements and soft touches only intensified the need I had for him.
His hands slowly moved down my back, to my ass, and then to my thighs where he grabbed firmly before lifting me up against him, straddling him.
With the bathroom already filling up with steam, he sat me on the counter. He leaned back just enough to let his eyes roam my body that was bare and completely open for him.
His eyes were burning so hot, they were smoldering. His tongue swept out, moistening his bottom lip before he gave me a cocky grin that made my entire body tingle.
He wrapped his hand around my lower back, pulling me closer to the edge. His lips found mine while he took himself in his hand and rubbed against me.
I let a soft whimper escape me and I reached for him, wanting to pull him closer, wanting him inside me.
His gaze intensified on my eyes. “Oh, no. This is my night.”
I couldn’t help the smile that teased my lips. “What do you want me to do, then?”
“Hands at your sides, flat against the counter. You can’t touch me, you can’t move, and you can’t make a sound.” With his last word, he thrusted into me.
The overwhelming fullness made me take a sudden breath.
Mason heard it and stopped, eyeing me.
I recovered quickly and forced my lips together.
