“I love you, Darcy. I want the world to know it.”
“Yes, but I need to call my sisters or they’re gonna kill me.”
“We’ll call them on the way home.”
“Okay.” We dance for hours, taking breaks for sips of our drinks. He cut himself after two and we stayed for another hour. By the time we get in the truck, my phone is ringing. It’s a Facebook Messenger call from my sisters.
“You bitch! You’re supposed to tell us first. We had to read it off the internet.” They are trying their best to scowl at me, but they’re both bubbly.
“Sorry. We went out right after he asked me and the people at the bar made a big deal out of it the second they saw it.”
“Oh we’re teasing girl. We saw the pic someone snapped of you two. It looks adorable.”
“We are invited to the wedding right?” Lydia asks.
“Not with that attitude,” Bennett growls.
“Oh hush. Of course you two are going to be there. I don’t know when it’s gonna be,” I admit.
“Next week,” Bennett chimes in. “Be prepared.”
“He wastes no time.”
“I’ve wasted a month already.”
“Ahh. So sweet. We’ll call you in the morning. I’m sure you’re about to go have engagement sex.” Sisters.
“All night long. Bye brats.” Bennett hits the end button and then the girls shoot me over texts with eggplant emojis.
“They’re sweet even if they’re pain in the asses.”
“They love you very much, Darcy. It’s good to have a strong family unit. I wish I still had my parents, or I had a sibling, but it is what it is.”
“Maybe we’ll start one soon.” Which reminds me I still have to tell my parents. They’re not going to be happy. They haven’t even met him yet. In fact, I’ve pretty much kept the fact that we moved in together a secret.
“Maybe tonight.”
“I’m on birth control, remember?”
“We’ll see about that.” He wags his brows like he’s up for the challenge.
“I wish you all the luck.”
Epilogue
Bennett
“I can’t believe you wanted to come back here for our honeymoon, Darcy.” We’ve been married for a full two days. Two weeks after I asked her to marry me, we had our wedding in Texas where I met Darcy’s less than friendly parents. They weren’t enthusiastic about their daughter getting married in a quick wedding, but after they saw the size of the ring on her finger they were less concerned. I’ll have to win them over in the future, but I’m not in a rush to do it. After all, she’s an adult and they left the girls to take care of themselves.
She snuggles against my side as we sit just at the water’s edge. I love coming here and I’m glad she does too. It’s a bit warmer with Summer kicking off. “Why wouldn’t I? We’re alone for two weeks without a single person to interrupt us. Hell, you’ve even hired security to keep the lake all isolated for us.” That I did. After all the damn interruptions last time, I decided to hire a whole crew to protect our privacy.
“That’s because I have plans to eat your pussy and then fucking hear you scream wildly as I fuck you against the rocks. You know how I hate to share you with anyone.”
“Damn right. That we both can agree on.” My wife is just as possessive about me as I am about her. She doesn’t model anymore and that’s my fault, but I still take pictures of her for fun. Besides, it’s the stage that calls Darcy. She lives for it. Next week, she’s going to be starring in a play down in Texas. The main side character fell through, and Darcy was able to snag an audition. I can’t wait to see her in action. We’ve been spending nights rehearsing her lines and she’s got them down.
“I love you, Bennett.”
“My one and only love, Darcy. Nothing compares to you.” I slam my mouth to hers, kissing her with pure abandonment.
“Then take me right here right now. I need to feel you all over me.” I love her so much. Pushing her back onto the blanket, her hair splaying all around, I stare at her beauty before I bend down and steal a kiss. I want this to last, but I know the second I have my hands all over her, I’m gonna lose control. Her hands move straight into my hair like always and I let go, tugging on her tee, lifting it off her body. Fuck. “No bra? That’s a naughty girl.”
“Well, it’s just us. I didn’t want to hinder your way.”
“Smart girl,” I growl and pounce on her pebbled peak, sucking it into my mouth as she arches her back and moans. I live for those sounds that come from her. Switching to the other nipple, I tongue the fuck out of her breast. I’m nowhere near done, but I need us naked, so I pull back onto my knees, take my shirt off, and then tug down her pants. No panties either. She quirks her mouth upward and gives me a shrug.
