“It's funny how things come around full circle like this isn't it?”
“How so?” I ask.
Braiding our fingers together, he pulls me off the dance floor and into the small room in the lobby with the ice and snack machines.
When he turns to face me, he grabs me by the hips and pulls me in. “I mean, we started at a wedding. A wedding that brought two very unlikely people together, and now another wedding is taking us in a different direction. We're ending at a wedding. . .”
My heart slows inside my chest as my stomach twists up like a pretzel as he takes a long pause. What is he talking about? Is he breaking up with me? What is he doing?
Dropping to one knee, his eyes stay steady on mine as he pulls a small white box from his pocket. “Will you marry me?” he asks.
My hands fly up to my face and cover my mouth. “Are you serious?” Mark nods. “You're really serious?”
“Yes, Sia, I'm serious,” he says with a smile and laugh. “I can't imagine spending my life with anyone else. I found you, and I never want to let you go.” He takes the ring out of the box and lifts my hand, holding it to the tip of my ring finger. “So, will you marry me?”
Tears stream down my face as my lips thin into a teary smile. “Yes, yes I'll marry you. I love you.” My hand is shaking as he slides the ring in place. “Oh my God, I can't believe this. It's beautiful, Mark.”
The white gold band with a princess cut diamond fits my finger perfectly. The stone sparkles under the light, glittering like a star in the night sky.
Placing his hands around my face, Mark wipes the tears away with his thumbs. Then he leans in to kiss me, but I pull back quickly.
“I think we should probably keep this between us for now,” I say.
“Why?” he asks as his face fills with confusion.
“Because today is Melody's day. We can tell everyone another time, but every bride deserves her day.”
“Yeah, you're right. I don't want to take anything from her.”
I slide my hands up over his shoulders and clasp them behind his neck. “Now, where were we?” Pressing up on my toes, I push my lips against his.
Mark's soft and controlled kiss is now hungry and savage. His tongue forces my lips open, swirling around mine. His hands glide down my ribs and over my hips, coming to a stop on my ass.
I moan into our kiss, my back arched and my head tilted to one side. All I want to do is take him right here. I don't want to wait. I need him right now.
“Let's get out of here,” I say between kisses. “They won't miss us.”
“Done.” Mark quickly pulls away, digging his keys out of his pocket and dragging me along as he heads for the front doors.
We climb into the truck and Mark starts the engine before I even have my seat belt on. Peeling out of the parking lot, his eyes are on the road, but he still can't keep hands off me. His hand is on my thigh, slinking up under my dress.
I spread my thighs for him, and his fingers stroke my pussy. I'm not wearing any panties, and the second he feels the wet arousal of my freshly shaved pussy, I hear him growl with desire.
With the tip of his finger, he massages my clit, causing my legs to widen more and my head to fall back against the seat. He's playing with me. Touching my clit, then pulling away. Slipping his fingers between my folds, moving down to my entrance, only to stop right before entering.
Holding his wrist, I try to rock my hips up and force him inside, but he doesn't take the bait. “Uh uh,” he tsks as he pulls his hand away. “It's not time for that yet.”
“You're so mean,” I say, my hips rolling without me even trying. I'm touching myself, pinching my nipples and cupping my mound.
“But we're home,” he says as he turns the wheel and drives up to the house.
“Stop the truck,” I demand.
“Why?” he asks, bringing the truck to a full stop.
“Put it in park.” Sitting up, I reach around my back and grip the zipper on my dress. Mark moves the shifter in place as I slip out of my dress, leaving the heels on for him. “I don't want to wait. I can't wait. I need you right now.”
Climbing onto his lap, my hands work his pants free as he grabs my hips and pushes my waist down so I can feel the bulge in his pants. He pulls out his cock and I lift up on my knees and guide him inside.
