I smile through the entire short and simple ceremony, which lasts all of ten minutes. I alternate between wiping away tears and sneaking glances at Cam. He doesn’t meet my eyes once, which worries me. No isn’t really an answer I’ve prepared myself to hear.

I stand off to the edge of the gardens while I wait for Jim and Mom to finish their photos. Mack and Cam are both far enough away from me that polite chat isn’t an option, which feels like a better option than being closer and knowing he’s isn’t speaking to me by choice. After they’re finished, I walk back over and give both Mom and Jim a hug.

“Congratulations,” I say, smiling at Jim. “Make sure you look after her.”

He smiles. “I will. I always wanted a daughter, Darcy, and I couldn’t ask for a better one than you,” he says.

“Thank you,” I smile widely.

He has no idea how much that comment means to me.

He hesitates and then glances at Mom.

“Now probably isn’t the right time for this, but I just wanted you to know something. We only want you to be happy. If you’re not enjoying what you’re doing, please don’t think you need to continue it for our sakes.” He looks over at Mack and Cam. “That goes for you both as well.” I smile, a second wave of relief hitting me. I already knew they’d be okay with me changing careers but hearing them say it makes me feel so much better. I’m not going to rush into anything, because I want to make sure whatever I choose, it’s what I want.

“Thank you,” I say, smiling at Jim.

I lean over and hug Mom, then we walk over to the car.

Now all I need to do is talk with Can.After the ceremony, we head straight to the hotel for the party. We’re nearly halfway through the evening, I still haven’t spoken to Cam at all. I’m trying hard not to think about it, and I’m doing well, until I literally run into him on the way to the bathroom. I give him an embarrassed smile as try to step around him, but he grabs my hand.

“Can we talk?” he asks.

I get the sinking feeling that whatever he's thinking, I'm not going to like.

“Okay, but can we make it quick?” I ask. “I should get back in there…”

He takes my hand and leads me around the corner into a small alcove that gives us a little bit of privacy. I frown at him, my heart racing. Is this where he tells me he’s not interested?

“I just wanted to—”

I shake my head. “Please, just leave it. Tell me tomorrow.” He frowns at me. “I know I said for you to tell me today, but if I'm not going to like hearing what you have to say, then leave it for another day.”

He stares at me for a moment, not saying anything, then he steps forward and pushes me up against the wall. I gasp as he kisses me, his lips rough and intense against mine. My heart pounds, because I wasn't expecting this. He reaches behind my back and unzips my dress, lowering the bodice until it sits around my waist. I gasp as his fingers trail down my back, the feel of his touch driving me crazy.

When he kisses my neck, I sneak a look around us. As private as this is, it wouldn’t take much to be discovered. You’d be silly to try anything here…

I stare at him, my heart racing as he lowers his mouth over my nipple. He sucks hard, while I finger his hair. He smirks, his tongue flicking teasing me until both nipples are rock hard.

“I'm sorry, but you look fucking amazing in that dress,” he mumbles. “I’ve been trying to resist doing this all day, but when you thought I didn’t want you…” He shakes his head. “You’ve got no idea how badly I want to be inside you right now.”

I quickly glance around us again, then with a smirk on my lips, I lower his zipper and reach inside to grip his cock. He grunts, his eyes widening as I run my fist along his shaft.

I wrap one arm around his neck and kiss him, while fisting his cock with my other hand. He groans and presses me against the wall, lifting my thigh up to his waist. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a condom, ripping the packet open. I take it from him and roll it over his length.

I gasp as he expertly lines himself up with me, thrusting hard inside my wetness. I gasp, my thighs clenching as he slices through me. He grips my thigh, kissing my neck as he fucks me hard against the wall. Everything about it is rushed, fast and intense, but I wouldn’t change a thing.
