LOUISA

“So are you sure that Vegas is out of the question for a wedding?” It was definitely the most expedient to my way of thinking.

Carmen chuckled and flipped through Pinterest highlighting the flower trends for this Spring. Bright pink begonias that would look amazing on top of a white wedding cake flashed in my mind. The color nearly matched her lipstick, plump matte lips that begged to be kissed.

“Oh, I don’t know, did you want to take in the sights, maybe catch a card game?” I watched her add pins on the tablet clicking ideas she liked for cake designs to try out. Checkered patterns rolled out from fondant and embossed swirls applied with sugar and gold dust. I imagined what kind of hairstyles and highlights would best suit the theme.

“The only game I’m playing is how fast I can undress my wife.” I dropped my phone on the nightstand and pushed the tablet out of her hand.

“Hey, I was just looking at an Alice in Wonderland theme you wicked woman.” She cried, but sounded more excited than upset.

I laughed at her outrage and mock tackled her rolling to the floor in giggles and kisses.

She was my best friend.

My lover.

My soulmate.

“Where you now?” I teased straddling her hips and grinding myself against her.

“Uh huh. I figured I could wear the dress and you could be the Mad Hatter. Top hat and fitted jacket. Tight ass pants. All in white, or maybe black?” Her fingertip tapped her lips. Then her hands reached for my lower back and worked their way down to cup my ass hard pressing me into her raised hips.

I groaned enjoying the feeling of our bodies heating up and rubbing against each other. I wanted her badly.

“How come I have to have a suit? Maybe I want the dress.”

Carmen chuckled.

“I’m pretty sure we can both wear a dress. No rules, right?” I loved how her eyes twinkled, various shades of golds, greens, and dark brown.

“Nope. None at all.” I said mesmerized by her soft skin and the sweet smell that stayed with her long after her hours at the bakery.
