Chapter One
Alex
I loved her. I’ve always loved her. It was difficult to pull my eyes away from Court’s during the ceremony that made her my wife, again. So much has happened between us over the past year. Things I never thought I would forgive. But she is the other part of me that I refused to live without.
I tried, but I couldn’t.
“I now pronounce you husband and wife.” A balding man with a kind smile said to us both, and I watched Court’s face beam up at me.
“I love you, Alex.”
“I love you, too, baby.”
My lips found hers, and I was lost.
She was everything to me and so much more. I licked her bottom lip lightly before I slipped my tongue inside and tasted the sweetness I knew was waiting for me. She always tasted of cherry lip gloss and smelled of something floral. The combination caused pure lust in me. God. I could never get enough of her. Our mouths moved together for what felt like an inappropriate amount of time for a wedding kiss. A distinct cough pulled us out of our haze, and we both smiled at the officiant. I should have been embarrassed, but I wasn’t. She was mine, and I wanted everyone to know it.
After we sign all of the appropriate paperwork, I tugged her by the hand out of the little chapel and back to the hotel room. I couldn’t wait to have her again. I had gone nearly a year without her, and I planned to make up for it.
Last night was our reunion, and after we woke up this morning and announced our reconciliation to our children, I immediately asked her to be my wife again. The only problem was that it was Sunday and City Hall wasn’t open. Since the kids were already with Court’s sister, Macy, we each packed a bag and drove directly to the airport. I had enough frequent flyer miles to book two round trip tickets to Las Vegas, and we were on the 1pm flight. By the time we arrived the sun was setting, and we had no idea where we were going because we hadn’t gotten that far in our plan. I told the taxi driver to take us to the best hotel on the strip. The driver looked confused for a moment before putting the cab in motion. I pulled my girl to me and placed light kisses along her neck, loving the way she switched between moaning and squirming as she complained that the driver was watching us. I slid my hand under the hem of the sexy white dress she wore at my request. It looked so damned good on her at the surprise birthday party her friends threw for her last night. I ached to touch her, but I knew I had no right to. I’d never imagined a time that I wouldn’t be able to call her mine. It felt like I was being punched in the gut every day for a year.
“Wait!” Court called out, causing both me and the driver to flinch. “That hotel, right there. The one with the musical water fountains. Take us there!”
My gaze traveled reluctantly from her smooth thighs to where she was pointing her finger. I immediately recognized it as the Bellagio hotel. I’d seen it on TV before but never up close. It was an amazing sight.
“Please, babe. Can we stay here?” With the way her beautiful brown eyes pleaded with me, I knew I could never deny her a thing. I wanted the best hotel Vegas had to offer; I wasn’t sure if the Bellagio was it but if that’s where she wanted to go, then that’s where I’d take her.
“Sure, baby.” I nodded down at her and placed a kiss on her cute little nose. “Will you take us to the Bellagio, please?” I instructed the driver.
Once we settled into our suite, I asked the concierge to make all of the arrangements for our wedding to take place that night. These people had it down to a science because everything was taken care of seamlessly. Within twenty-four hours of seeing Courtney outside of the bar last night, she became my wife again. It was amazing how things worked out that way. Yesterday, I was trying to accept that I’ll never have her again, today; I’m putting a ring on her finger and reclaiming her as mine forever.
