Redeem Me (Say Something Book 4) by Salice Rodgers Page B

where the only temptation I have is touching my new husband each day and night.
    I lean back from Trevor and wait for him to look at me.
    “Can we invite Joslynn and your brother here? Get married here?”
    His eyes light up.
    “That means you want to marry soon?”
    “I would marry you today, Trevor. I just don’t want the big puffy dress and fancy wedding.”
    “I don’t care who’s around as long as you say I do and you are mine for the rest of our lives.”
    Now that I know I don’t have to plan a full out wedding, I allow my excitement to come out, and I smile and wrap my arms around Trevor letting go of a squeal I’ve been holding in. I am going to spend the rest of my life with the man whom I love. The one who shows me each day how much he loves me. When I pull back from the hug Trevor smiles and kisses my cheek.
    “I have an idea…” I say and smile back.
    I grab my phone and run outside leaving a confused Trevor sitting on the couch watching me. When I make it outside and finally find signal I call the one person I know can help me pull off what I want to do… My future brother in law.

Chapter Three
     
    I hear a banging on the door and jump out of the bed and look around. Trevor is no where to be found. I run out of the bedroom. When I open the door, my jaw hits the floor. I knew Trevor wanted to get married and I knew we both wanted it to be soon but to wake up the next day to Joslynn, Marshall and lil man standing on our porch I can’t help but be surprised.
    “Well are you going to let us in or stand there and look silly,” Joslynn asks putting her hand on her hip.
    “Sorry I just didn’t realize he would tell you to come today. We just talked about it yesterday.” I step out of the doorway and motion for them to come in.
    “This place is amazing!” Joslynn says looking around the cabin.
    “Yeah it is.” I hold out my arms to lil man and smile as he bounces in Marshall’s arms trying to get to me.
    After I lost my baby, it was hard to hold him some days but the smile on his face when he looks at me and it was hard to say no. I know now that it wasn’t my fault I lost our baby but it was hard not to lay all the blame on myself and feel like my whole world had come to an end.
    But having all of them here I know that my world hasn’t ended it’s just beginning. I follow Joslynn in the living room and watch as she takes in the cabin.
    “Where’s Trevor?” Marshall asks.
    “Probably gone to grab food.”
    He nods his head and sits on the loveseat and wraps his arm around Joslynn once she sits down.
    “Did you talk to Trevor?” I ask.
    When I called Marshall yesterday and told him my plan he sounded excited. Tattoos and tattooing is something special to both Marshall and Trevor. The one true way I could think to show my love and devotion to Trevor other than marriage was wedding band tattoos. He gave me a gorgeous engagement ring I will treasure forever but a tattoo is permanent.
    “It’s all set.”
    I have always heard that having a mans name on you is bad luck but when it is the name of the man you love and the only one that you want to spend your life with I don’t see it as bad luck. I see it as true love. The door slams and ends my thoughts, I don’t want Trevor to know until after the tattoo is done.
    Marshall and I talked about me coming to the shop as soon as we are back home. I hand lil man to Joslynn and walk into the kitchen. Trevor is putting away groceries so I walk behind him and kiss his cheek and wrap my arms around him. He stills and pulls my hand to his mouth kissing it.
    “I see y’all made it okay.”
    “Just got here about thirty minutes ago,” Marshall replies as he walks into the kitchen.
    “I got a few more groceries. It takes a lifetime to make it to a town from here.” He laughs and shakes his head.
    “It takes a lifetime to drive up here,” Joslynn says rolling her eyes.
    The rest of the day is spent catching up on all things back home with the
