A Billionaire BWWM Romance 7: The Honeymoon by J A Fielding, Bwwm Romance Dot Com

Chapter 1
    Julie Parker had just got married and was now officially Julie
Davenport... just the thought of it made her ecstatic. It was well
into the second half of her wedding and she had loved every bit of
the day. Yes, even the parts which didn’t go according to plan.
    As she sat at the table next to her new husband Steven, Julie slowly
took small bites of her fruit. She smiled at Steven’s baby
sister who was now giving her toast. Truth be told though, she was
not really listening to what she was saying. Matter of fact, she was
as blank as ever. All she wanted to do now was go back to somewhere
private with hew new husband and share in his warm embrace. She found
herself wondering why she had agreed to an after party in the first
place.
    The thought was soon interrupted as she realized glasses were going
up in the air all over the room. Julie raised her glass, even though
she didn’t have the first idea what people were toasting to.
She took a sip of her drink before turning to look at Steven as he
squeezed her hand.
    “You okay?” he asked as he looked into her eyes. She
smiled and nodded.
    “Just a bit tired,” she said in a low voice. Steven
smiled at her.
    “You want to get out of here?” he asked. She smiled when
she saw the look in his eyes that spoke volumes. She knew that look.
She had seen it so many other times. Steven smiled at her and nodded.
“I just have to do one thing,” he said smiling before he
got up.
    Julie looked up at him and smiled. He used a fork to hit the side of
his glass calling for attention. Someone turned down the music as the
room’s attention turned to him. He looked at her and smiled
before he turned his attention to the four hundred plus people. This
time, Julie paid attention. If there was a toast she wanted to hear,
it was her husband’s. She had a smile playing on her lips, a
smile that was not just plastered there for the sake of it. She
looked at him, lovingly as she felt warmth wash over her, giving her
a warm tingle down her spine.
    “When I first met Julie, I have to admit that if you had told
me I would be giving a toast at a wedding, my wedding to her,
I would have laughed in your face.” Everyone laughed. Including
Julie, even though she was not sure she should have laughed at that
particular point.
    “ I’m not sure if that was a compliment or insult,” she thought.
    “And as most of you know, this is not my first rodeo but I must
say,” he went on as he looked at her. “This, this is the
best moment of my life. I knew there was a reason why things were so
complicated at first, because I can tell you getting into Julie’s
good books took a lot of work.” People laughed again. “But
I wouldn’t do anything any differently because every moment I
have spent with her, knowing her, loving her has been worth ten
lifetimes and now that she is officially off the market,” he
paused and looked at Julie before he offered his hand to her. She
looked up at him and put her hand in his before he helped her up. She
was looking into his loving eyes as he slipped an arm around her
waist pulling her close. “I love you and I am going to spend
the rest of my life loving the hell out of you,” he said. She
smiled at him and leaned in for a kiss, the one thousandth kiss since
she said ‘I do’ to him earlier that day. “Do you
want to say anything?” he asked when she pulled away. She
shrugged and smiled.
    “I think you’ve said it all,” she said, still
smiling. He looked into her eyes and nodded but the master of
ceremony or ‘hype master’ as he liked to be called walked
towards them and shook his head.
    “You know there is no way I am letting you…we…”
he said as he looked around the room. “…are letting
either of you go without hearing a speech from the lady of the day,
right?” he asked as he looked at them and then looked around
the room. The entire reception erupted in a loud roar before people
started chanting ‘Speech! Speech!’ Julie
