She clung to me as I fucked her.

Finally.

I’d been thinking about this moment all day, and while I knew once tonight wouldn’t even begin to satisfy my need for her, this was a damn good start.

We chased our release as hard and as fast as we could, and it didn’t take long. Pleasure exploded through my body as we came together. It touched every part of me, both physical and mental.

This part of sex with Harlow was what I had been missing all my life. I’d had a lot of sex before finding her, and none of it had ever come close to touching me in the way it did with Harlow.

Harlow joined all the pieces of my soul together.

She made me whole.

21

Harlow

All my life I dreamt of the day I would walk down the aisle and tell the man I loved that I would spend the rest of my life with him. I was a romantic from way back. But I never imagined it would be like this. Never did I imagine the love I found would be what Scott and I had.

Magic.

That’s the only word I could use to describe it that would do our love justice.

The day of our wedding had arrived and I was in full preparation mode. Roxie had done my hair, and Velvet had made my face look more beautiful than I’d ever seen it.

Cassie smiled at me. She was my only bridesmaid and looked beautiful with her long hair up and her face also done beautifully. We’d chosen a long, strapless, red dress for her and the colour was perfect against her tanned skin. “Babe, we got ready in record time. Scott would be impressed that you’re ready early.”

My mum laughed as she joined us. Roxie and Velvet had just worked their magic on her, too. She took hold of my hand and squeezed it. “You look beautiful, Harlow.”

Catching sight of myself in the full-length mirror, I had to agree with her – I felt beautiful. With Madison and Cassie’s help, I’d chosen a strapless organza gown with a fitted bodice of ruches and a cascading skirt of ruffles that flowed to the ground. Silver glittered in the narrow band of embroidery at the waist. While the dress was beautifully elegant, I’d still managed to add my country style to the outfit with my turquoise boots. We’d left my hair down in soft curls and Roxie had swept the front part of it back and secured it with my mother’s silver clip that she’d worn at her wedding.

Madison swept into the room, her hands full with things I couldn’t quite make out. Smiling as she came to me, she said, “So, you’ve got the something old, but you still need new, borrowed and blue.”

Touching my necklace, I curled my finger along the chain. “Scott gave me this the other day, so it’s my new.”

Madison narrowed her eyes on the necklace. “Oh my goodness, that is beautiful.” She looked back up at my face. “My brother has surprised the hell out of me this week. Who knew he could be so deep?”

Scott had the necklace designed with a swirly S and H that were connected in the middle with a lightning strike. My heart beat with happiness just thinking about the thought he’d put into it. “I didn’t know the symbolism of lightning until he told me. Apparently the Celts believe that wherever lightning strikes, it is a spot of the sacred and holy, and signifies a connection with infinite power. The Chinese associate lightning with fertility – it’s a blessing that leads to nourishing rains and new life.”

“I knew that man was good from the moment I met him when he brought me a fridge,” Mum said softly, her eyes misting with tears. “It’s because of him that I know I can go away

and leave you in good hands.”

Madison’s eyes had brimmed over with tears, too. “Shit, now he’s making me cry and it’s going to ruin my makeup.”

Velvet handed tissues out. “I’ll be having words with that man for making you all cry and wrecking my makeup job.”

Laughing, I said, “I feel like I should be the one crying, and yet, I’m the only one here without tears in my eyes.” I glanced at Roxie and winked. “Well, besides our resident non-crying, practical ballbreaker over here.”

She raised her brows back at me. “What can I say…me and romance have a long, hard relationship, and it takes a lot to crack through my heart.”

“Wait!” exclaimed Madison. “Did you say you’re going away?” she asked Mum.

“Yes, after the fire at the café, I’ve decided to travel for a few months. I’ve wanted to visit Italy for as long as I can remember, and I’m not getting any younger, so now’s as good a time as any. And with Harlow wanting to pursue her art, and our lease on the café almost up, it feels like the universe is speaking to me and telling me to go.” Her eyes lit up as she added, “I leave at the end of next week. But I’ll be back in time for the birth of my grandchild.”

“You better be!” I said, not being able to imagine getting through that without her.

“So, tell me, how are you getting to the church?” Roxie asked as she packed up her stuff.
