at me. “I love you, too. You have no idea how much you have changed
Ryder’s life for the better and we all love you so much for it. You are an
amazing girl and he’s a very lucky guy to have you.”
“Thank
you,” I said, squeezing his arm. I heard the wedding march start to play and I
said, “Are you ready?”
“Ready,”
he said, smiling at me with pride in his eyes. The doors of the chapel opened
and the girls walked down the aisle one by one. They all looked so beautiful in
their dresses.
When
John and I were up, my eyes landed on Ryder standing at the front waiting for
me…and my heart skipped a beat. He looked devastatingly handsome in his crisp
black tuxedo and my mouth watered at the sight of him. I had a sudden urge to
sprint down the aisle and get this wedding over with so I could devour him, but
this was the most important night of my life. We had some memories to make and
we needed to start with the big one first.
John
walked me down the aisle and everyone was smiling brightly at us as we
approached the minister. When I reached Ryder, John placed my hand in Ryder’s
and gave us both a squeeze before stepping back and sitting down. Ryder leaned
into my ear and whispered, “You have never looked more beautiful than you do
right now. I love you so much, gorgeous.”
I
placed my arm on his shoulder and whispered back, “I love you more, rock star.
Now shut up and marry me already.” He pulled back with a huge smile on his face
as we said our vows and became husband and wife in front of everyone we loved
in the world.
The
rest of the night was wonderful as we celebrated our wedding on the Vegas
strip. Jude and Sadie were, as always, the life of the party as they both joked
and laughed together. Given the way the two of them had become as close as they
had recently, I wondered, to myself, something more wouldn’t come of their
friendship. When we came back to Cincinnati they were spending so much time
together that they realized it was a waste for Sadie to have her own place
since she was always with Jude. They decided that night to become roommates
once we got home from Vegas. The rest of the guys didn’t seem thrilled with the
idea of Sadie and Jude living together, but I honestly thought if anyone could
take that man on and win it would be her.
Danni
had been cordial to Beau the whole evening. But even sharing a few dances with
him, it was clear that nothing was going to come of their relationship, at
least not yet. Back in New York, Beau had told me that he would fight for her,
and I hoped he still would. Seeing what he was becoming without her was scaring
me. If he didn’t have a drink in his hand there was an open bottle of liquor
somewhere close by. What Beau did with that other girl in New York was
inexcusable, but I hoped for both of their sakes that Danni would get past it
and save him from himself.
Despite
my worries about them, it had been a magical night spent with my family. Soon
everyone was ready to go off on their own and that was fine by me. I was ready to
take my husband up to our honeymoon suite and have the time of my life making
love with him all night long.
We
bid everyone good night, and as soon as we got back to our hotel, we raced back
to our suite, slamming the door behind us. He pulled me into his arms and
kissed me with a new kind of passion. It was still deep and lustful but it was
also full of promise and excitement. “Hello, Mrs. Matthews,” he groaned into my
ear.
“I
love hearing that,” I said.
“Well
good because I plan on calling you that for the rest of your life, gorgeous,”
he said, his fingers finding the zipper on the back of my dress.
I
shivered as he slid it down and started to slide it off my shoulders. “Hey rock
star, I have something I wanted to talk to you about before we do this. Something
I’ve been thinking about since you proposed to me last night.”
“Yeah?
And what’s that?” he asked, kissing my bare
Ryder’s life for the better and we all love you so much for it. You are an
