Laughter rippled throughout the cathedral. I looked out into the pews of people and smiled before turning back to my men. Their gazes were warm and full of adoration.
I couldn’t ask for anything more.
Caden’s voice followed, resonating with a depth that stirred my soul. “Anastasia, you are the missing piece that completes our puzzle. With you, every shadow of doubt fades away. I vow to love you fiercely, to be your strength when you’re weak, and to honor you with every beat of my heart.”
Kieran stepped forward and removed the cover to a silver platter with three ring boxes on top of it. Connor took one and opened it.
“May these rings be blessed as a symbol of your union. The circle is a symbol of eternity, with no beginning and no end, much like the love you share. Wear them as a reminder of the vows you have made this day.”
Connor gently slid a ring onto my finger, his touch sending a shiver down my spine. “With this ring, I thee wed,” he murmured, his gaze unwavering. I glanced down to see a platinum white gold wedding band studded with sparkling diamonds. Connor handed the box to Caden, and he removed another.
Caden mirrored the gesture, his eyes never leaving mine. “With this ring, I thee wed,” he declared, sealing the circle of our commitment. He’d slid the matching engagement ring on my finger. The centerpiece was a sizable and brilliantly sparkling diamond. Flanked on either side were smaller diamonds, their delicate brilliance enhancing the overall radiance of the ring. It was absolutely breathtaking.
They turned to me, and I took one of the two ring boxes into my hands. I opened it and repeated the same words as I pressed the ring onto Connor’s hand, and then did the same with Caden’s.
Finally, the priest proclaimed, “I now pronounce you husband and wife… and husband. You may now kiss the bride.”
Connor leaned in, his lips meeting mine in a tender yet passionate kiss. His touch was familiar, comforting, and filled with adoring warmth. As the first kiss sealed the bond with one of my beloved men, I felt an overwhelming surge of love.
Caden stepped forward with an intensity that mirrored his darker nature. His kiss ignited a different kind of fire, one that smoldered with ruthlessly bold desire. The taste of his lips sentshivers down my spine, and in that moment, surrounded by the whispers of love and the sacred vows, I embraced the unique connection I shared with each of them.
The three of us became one.
CHAPTER 20
Caden
Kieran was hamming it up on stage singing an Irish jig, and the crowd was living for it. I hadn’t asked him to sing. It was his turn to toast to my brother, Anastasia, and I, and he’d turned the wedding reception upside down.
“Dressed in your Friday best,
And ready to impress whoa-oh
I like the show,
And can I say that you’re the prettiest girl that I know,
Or will ever know,
So give me your hand.”
Kieran’s rich voice echoed throughout the hall, calling everyone to join in the celebrations. Laughter and joy resonated as myfamily and friends gathered in the center of the dance floor, clapping to the rhythm of Kieran’s song.
Leah was beaming as she watched from her seat, her son Colin in her arms. My eyes glazed over the crowd, and I saw her daughter Emma dancing with another little boy that I recognized as Liam Shelby’s son, Eamon. I grinned. The two had grown close since Leah had come into the family. If you asked Emma, she would tell you that he was her boyfriend, which was actually pretty cute.
Look at me, turning all sentimental now that I had a wife. I’d have to be careful. I had an image to maintain. I couldn’t have anyone thinking I was a sappy romantic when I was supposed to be a cold-hearted mobster.
Anastasia caught my gaze, and I smiled back at her. I beckoned her to come closer. The image of her padding through my house barefoot and pregnant shot through me. I literally growled as she walked over, and I pulled her into my arms.
She shivered with desire, and I nuzzled her neck.
“My brother and I are going to put a baby in your belly tonight,” I rasped, my cock as hard as iron against her ass. She blushed bright pink and lightly slapped my chest.
“Caden!” she exclaimed, but she didn’t protest that much.
“Did you get our present?” I asked.
“Yes,” she answered, blushing a beautiful rose petal red now.
