Saved (Wanted 2)

CHAPTER TWO

JEFF

Holy shit! The moment Ari said yes, my heart started beating a mile a minute. It sure as shit wasn’t going to slow down anytime soon while I looked her body up and down. So fucking perfect. She’d always been perfect. Now, she was going to be truly mine.

When she licked her lips, I let out a moan. Shit. I wanted to be inside her, I wanted to forget the last few days ever happened. I just wanted to be alone with the only girl I would ever love.

“Ari…”

She smiled that damn smile of hers that could bring me to my knees and make me do anything she asked.

“Jeff…”

She slowly turned around and then looked back over her shoulder at me with those beautiful green eyes of hers. Damn! I started to unzip her dress, and I couldn’t stop my hands from shaking. I felt her body shiver the moment I touched her, and I swore that it felt like my knees were about to give out on me.

Holy shit, this girl is going to be the death of me.

Moving my hands slowly back up her body, I placed them on her shoulders and gently pushed off the dress, letting it drop to the floor at her feet. She stepped out and turned to face me.

Mother-fucker. I’d never seen anything so beautiful.

She was dressed in a pink lace bra with matching pink lace panties. I had to catch my breath from the sight of Ari in nothing but her lace underwear and cowboy boots. Taking a step back, I thought back to the first night we ever made love.

***

Brad and Amanda’s’ wedding

Four Months Earlier

“Holy shit!” Gunner and I said together.

Gunner turned to me at the same time I looked at him. I quickly glanced back down the aisle to see Ari walking toward me with a huge bouquet of roses. She was the most beautiful thing I’d ever laid eyes on. As she stepped closer, I got a better look at the dress she was wearing.

Mother fucker. Her breasts were practically falling out of it. Why the hell would Amanda have them wear that? Oh hell no! She was going to have to change or put on a jacket.

Thank God, Gunner was the best man because I didn’t hear any part of the ceremony. I couldn’t tear my eyes away from Ari. My Ari. Tonight I would finally make her one-hundred percent mine.

I was still pissed at Gunner and his fucking romantic ways while they were at the hunter’s cabin. Ellie had told Ari all about it, and I had to listen for a week about how passionate Gunner was.

I turned to look at Gunner, and I gave him a fuck-off look. He just raised his eyebrows and then smiled. Bastard

“Jeff, what the hell is wrong with you tonight? Your mind is in another world for Christ’s sake. ” Ari said while she danced in my arms.

I held her closer and took in a deep breath. Vanilla. She always smelled like vanilla.

I looked over at Jenny, who gave me a thumbs-up. I lifted my hand and returned one back to her.

Damn. I’d never met someone who worked as hard as she did. Gunner and Ellie were so happy with how Jenny had decorated the cabin the night he’d asked her to marry him.

Tonight was costing me a fortune, but making it a night Ari would never forget was worth it.

Pulling away, Ari looked up at me. Tilting her head, she slowly let that damn smile play across her face.

My god, I love her. I couldn’t believe that I’d almost let her go. What a stupid mother fucker I’d been. Tonight it was all going to change. I was going to make love to her for the first time.

Oh shit. I feel sick.

“Jeff? Are you okay? You look like you’re going to be sick!”
