“What in God’s name are you talking about?”
“Your, you know, downstairs area is his favorite bar.”
“Oh my God, how do we own a sex club together when you can’t even say the word pussy?”
“I was being respectful to your new title.”
“Don’t be a doofus, Ryker.”
“Fine, but my statement still stands.”
I’m not sure he’s right but as the day goes on and my friends and family laugh and celebrate our marriage, I wonder if maybe it’s enough.
Arms come around me from behind, and I sink into his hold, with a sigh.
Hudson kisses my neck, his palm on the flat of my belly. “I missed you.”
“I missed you too, husband.”
“Ready to get out of here and make this official this time?”
I turn in his arms and run my palms up his chest. He looks at me like I’m everything he ever wanted. “Take me to bed, husband.”
With a growl, Hudson kisses me hungrily, his teeth sinking into my bottom lip. “The things I’m going to do to you tonight, Audrey Carmichael.”
“Is that a promise?”
“It’s my solemn vow, wife.”

HearingAudrey say she wouldn’t have chosen us and that by being with me she’s making the most of a bad situation for her father has thrown me. Today has felt like a new beginning for us, or for me at least, but for Audrey, it’s about fulfilling the dying wishes of her father.
I’d been about to cut in with her and Ryker when I heard the comment and walked right past instead. My head is a jumbled mess as I accept handshakes and congratulations from everyone. I found Tia with Eden and my sister threw herself into my arms, declaring it the best day ever.
Her utter joy and delight over every little thing pulled me from my funk, but it hasn’t dimmed the hurt. I’m madly, hopelessly in love with my wife, and I have no idea how she really feels.

It always seems to come back to this. I’m not good enough for her, never have been, and despite my success, I’m still not. She’s almost royalty in our circle, and I’m the poor kid who worked his fingers to the bone to have the glimmer of a chance with her.
Like a magnet, my gaze is pulled to her, and I stand and move toward her, wrapping my arms around her and kissing her neck. “I missed you.”
Her body seems to melt into mine as she sighs. “I missed you too, husband.”
That sounds good but is she saying it because she thinks I want to hear it? And, God, I want to.“Ready to get out of here and make this official this time?”
She turns in my arms and runs her palms up my chest, and my dick goes hard from just that touch. She looks at me like I’m everything she ever wanted, and I want to believe it so badly.
“Take me to bed, husband.”
With a growl, I dip my head and kiss her like a starving man, sinking my teeth into her bottom lip. “The things I’m going to do to you tonight, Audrey Carmichael.”
“Is that a promise?”
“It’s my solemn vow, wife.”
We make the rounds, saying goodbye and her father shakes my hand. “Look after her, son.
