Wedding Cake Crasher (Wedding Cake 1)

“So when I was in college, I lost a bet—” Dean begins.

“Faster,” I say, cutting him off.

“My cock piercing is stuck somewhere inside her and I can’t get it out.” He looks at me and shrugs, and Nikki pulls the blanket over her head in mortification.

“Wait.” I hold up a finger. “I don’t think I heard you correctly.”

“Why won’t the ground open up and swallow me?” Nikki mumbles under the blanket.

“Look, I can’t very well call nine-one-one to the wedding and have Rich and Alisha’s day ruined. You have to help get us to the hospital.”

I close my eyes and rub the heels of my hands against them. “Dean, what in the actual fuck?” I shake my head and then look at him.

“Hank, if I had another option I’d take it. But I’m pretty sure the barbell is stuck on something inside her.”

“It’s my IUD.” I can hardly hear her under the blanket, but I really don’t want her taking it off.

“Wait, you’re on birth control? Yeah, that’s not going to work for me, sassy pants.”

Nikki takes the blanket off her face and looks like if she could shoot fire out of her eyes she would. “Stop calling me that.”

“All I heard was you’re okay with getting that thing taken out.” Dean must have a death wish because he actually winks at her.

“If you would just stop being hard it would go down and you could pull out,” she says through clenched teeth and I worry she’s really going to hurt Dean if they ever get apart.

“And how in the fuck do you think that’s going to happen? I’m inside this warm, soft pussy that I just popped the cherry out of and then you came all over me.”

“Dean!” Nikki and I both say at the same time.

“What?” He shrugs like he’s stating facts. “The only way I’m getting soft is by coming inside you, and I can’t move.”

“All right,” I say as I pinch the bridge of my nose. “What I’m hearing is that you either need to get off, or I need to get you out of here and to the hospital.”

“Get off.”

“Hospital.”

Neither can agree on a course of action. It’s clear Dean wants to finish off and I can’t say I blame him. That’s probably the less embarrassing of the options, but it seems Nikki just wants to get away.

I release a breath and pull out my cell phone. I call one of the drivers from today and tell him to come around to the front. As much as I’d love to leave Dean and Nikki to figure this out, I can’t leave her with him like this. She may have wanted this to begin with, but she’s made it clear to both of us that she just wants out of here.

“All right,” I say, looking at the two of them. “It looks like we’re taking door number two. Dean, you’re going to have to pick her up and carry her out to the car. I have no idea what this is going to do, but if it hurts, let’s stop and call the professionals. Okay?”

“Deal,” Nikki agrees as Dean nods.

I turn around and listen to the two of them bicker as Dean holds her close and lifts her up. There are some groans, but none of the sounds seem to be bad and for a moment I wonder if I should leave the room.

“See, sassy pants, it’s not so bad. Just let me finish and we can go back to my place.”

“Dean,” I warn, and I hear him curse from behind me.

After what feels like an eternity, he says she’s covered and I turn back around to see the big dark blanket around the two of them. My phone buzzes in my hand and I look down to see the driver has texted me that he’s already home and it’s over an hour away. It’s then I realize I’m going to have to take them myself and my heart sinks.

I want to go back to the guest house and tell Sugar where I am, but there’s no time. Hopefully I can drop them off at the hospital and let the doctors figure this mess out and I can be back here before she wakes up.

“Hold that blanket tight, Nikki,” I say, opening the door to the storage closet. “I don’t want to see Dean’s ass.”

I curse my brother and Alisha for having a wedding so far away from everything. The hospital is over an hour away and I have to listen to the two of them in the back seat the whole time. It alternates between moaning and arguing, but it’s mostly Dean being an idiot and saying shit to piss Nikki off. What I want to do is ask her about Sugar but now doesn’t seem like the right time.
