“You’re so fucking sexy like this. Ass all out for my pleasure. Damn. We might need one of these for the house.”
Rhythmic moans fell from Shadow’s lips.
Suddenly, Ridge wanted the whole world to see them like this. Everyone shouldwitness their love. More than anything, he needed everyone to have no doubt this man was his. If he ever stepped a foot in this club without Ridge, he needed every single one of them to know they were dead if they touched Shadow.
Ridge reached up and wrapped his fingers around the remote. He held Shadow’s stare. A pant escaped Shadow. Then he gave a sharp nod, agreeing to whatever Ridge chose. Ridge pushed the button. He tried not to look, but curiosity got the best of him. From inside the room, the window only looked like a mirror. He couldn’t see the crowd. But Ridge swore he felt the eyes on them, and he reveled in it. Possessiveness and love mixed with pride and arousal to have Ridge putting his whole skill set into fucking Shadow. The noises he made said he was close. Ridge needed to pleasehim. He had to feel Shadow’s hot body trying to milk him to completion.
Ridge struggled so hard for air that he couldn’t close his mouth. He swore his eyes wanted to roll back in his head. Beneath his hands, Shadow’s body tensed. On a loud cry, cum shot through the air in jets. Pride filled Ridge’s chest. He had to keep Shadow to himself. They needed to be alone when Ridge pumped him full of cum. He quickly hit the button above them. Ridge swore he heard loud groans of disappointment. Under any other circumstance, he would be horrified. Nothing could penetrate the desire. With Shadow’s hot hole massaging him, Ridge gasped for air as he slammed himself repeatedly inside Shadow. His entire body hardened. Ridge held his breath. The orgasm of all orgasms hit. Ridge criedShadow’s name. Then he pulled Shadow into his arms, letting cum hit the floor as his dick slipped from Shadow’s ass. His tongue shoved its way into Shadow’s mouth. Ridge knew right then, more than any other moment they had shared, they would have the most spectacular marriage anyone had ever seen. There was nothing they wouldn’t do for each other.
Ridge commandeered his keys as they left the club. Shadow was all contented and ready to cuddle. He practically turned into a cat with the way hekept brushing against Ridge and pawing at him.
Tiny smiles kept appearing on Ridge’s lips as he drove. Shadow couldn’t look away from the sight of that contented smile while Ridge drove. There was no one more sickeningly in love than Shadow. They were flawless together.
Ridge steered into the empty parking lot of a closed coffee shop. He jumped out and jogged to Shadow’s side of the car to help him out. “Come on. I want to show you something.”
Since he was willing to go anywhere with Ridge, Shadow didn’t drag his feet.
Ridge circled the building until they were in a dark alley. He showed his back to Shadow. “Hop on, spider monkey. Hold on tight and don’t let go.”
Since he was used to being the shadow no matter what it took, he easily scrambled onto Ridge’s back and held on. The moment he was settled, Ridge scaled the building without even losing his breath. Goddamn. That shit was hot. The moment they were on the roof, Ridge urged Shadow into his arms. It took nothing for Shadow to swap positions.
Ridge carried him to a lounge chair that seemed out of place, except the view was breathtaking. He sat with Shadow held tightly in his arms.
Shadow settled in to cuddle and stargaze. He was in heaven. “This is beautiful.”
Shadow felt Ridge nod against his neck. “I came here for coffee and to scope out a job just to see if I could make the shot from here. I found this little sliceof paradise. You have no idea how many times I’ve pictured holding you just like in this exact spot.”
He was such a romantic at heart. Shadow adored that about him. “What else did you picture us doing?”
He heard the smile in Ridge’s voice. “A lot of things, but mostly making wishes on the stars.”
Shadow was in love with this conversation. “What did you wish for?”
Ridge chuckled. “A lot of things that have already come true, except I haven’t married you yet.”
“Ah, I see. These are the lucky stars. Well.” Shadow turned his chin up toward the sky. His gaze landed on the brightest fireball in the heavens. “Star light. Star bright. First star I seetonight: I wish I may, I wish I might, have my wish granted tonight.”
Ridge chuckled. It was a low sound that caused chill bumps to rise on his skin.
Shadow pressed ahead. “I wish we were at a drive-thru chapel right now so we can get married.”
For a moment, the air stilled. It was like the entire universe held its breath. Then Ridge stood so fast, Shadow lost his breath. He was over Ridge’s shoulder in a flash. “Your wish is my command.” He easily descended the building. Ridge had Shadow back in the car in no time. He pointed toward the glove box. “Is our wedding license still in there?”
Thankfully, it was. Shadow pulled it out to showRidge.
Ridge glanced over and eyed it for a second. He looked dead set. “Good. Let’s go.”
Shadow couldn’t stop smiling. They had gotten their marriage license only two days earlier. Shadow had chosen to leave it in the car where it had the least chance of getting lost. They hadn’t fully decided how to handle a wedding. An actual wedding sounded like time and stress. They wanted it to be quick and something just for them. Ever since Ridge popped the question, they had tossed around a thousand ideas. One had not been a drive-thru wedding. Shadow didn’t even know why that was the wish he chose. He was just really ready to do this. Shadow wanted to tell everyone he was Ridge’s husband.
The bright neon lights of the chapel came into view. He checked out thecurbside wedding’s sign. Then his gaze met Ridge’s. A silent message passed between them. It didn’t matter where they did this. They were ready. In their hearts, this would always be the most beautiful wedding in history.
Chapter Nine
ClubAffinityhadwayfewer people inside than the last time Clay visited. Zeus had insisted on throwing Ridge and Shadow a party to celebrate their wedding. He had closed the club for the day and only invited close friends and chosen family. It was fucking torture. All he could see was Zeus. Fuck, he was pretty.
Six-six of solid god in leather. He wore black combats boots and only made eye contact with the person he spoke with. Zeus made people feel seen with those piercing, light gray eyes. The guydripped sex. He was raw everything. That was what made him such a good dom. When the club was open, a dozen people stayed on their knees with their heads bowed, just begging for Zeus to hurt them. Clay got it. Not the hurting part, but he understood wanting any attention at all from Zeus.
Clay had a hard time not touching his lips. He swore he still felt Zeus’ kiss, and it had been months. Zeus had a sensual mouth. Everything about him was like a goddamn Adonis. He had probably fucked literally thousands of people, including one of the grooms. Clay should find that disgusting. Zeus was the kind of beautiful that emptied heads. It might matter afterward, but in his presence, there was nothing that would stop people from dropping theirpants.
