“Do that again.”
At first, I was puzzled, then I realized from the way he panted out the request that he was affected by the grip I had on his manhood. I squeezed again, choking his cock and pulling another groan from him.
Jett made me feel delicate and powerful at the same time, and I reveled in it. I tightened around him again, and he began to move.
“You’re mine, Roo.”
“Show me.”
His thrusts got faster, and my breathing began to speed out of control.
“Oh, I intend to.” He moved with purpose, and in seconds, I could feel the orgasm building.
“After I make love to you, I’m going to hold you in my arms just until the sun starts to come up, sneak back out, and wait for you to walk toward me to say, ‘I do’ once again.”
And that is exactly how it all went down.
JETT - WEDDING DAY
I was speechless.
Not being able to talk sure made it hard to sing.
Knelt down on one knee next to Griffin, he bonked me on the head, causing all our guests to laugh.
“Dad, do you have stage fright?” he yelled, prompting another roar of laughter from everyone.
I looked at my lady standing at the end of the burlap walkway laid out for her to descend, her arm slipped through Gramps’s and felt the first sting of tears.
Fuck, she was a vision. My gaze took her in from head to toe. Patience was stunning in her white, off-the-shoulder, elegant satin, wedding dress—the sunshine as her spotlight.But it was the small pooch in her belly that had my breath hitching.
I wish you guys were here.
Giving in to that pang in my chest that still came when I thought of the friends I’d lost, I allowed myself to slip back to the past for a brief second and swallowed the emotional lump in my throat. Knowing they would never get to be this happy was its own kind of torture, but I was working through it.
When I was held captive, I wasn’t sure I’d ever see the light of day again, and if I did, I wasn’t sure I’d ever make it to where I was now. Griffin was mine, we were having a baby, and the woman staring at me, patiently waiting to walk my way, was my everything.
“Dad,”Griffin hissed. “It’s time. If you forget the words, follow me.”
My eyes never left Patience’s as she tilted her head trying to figure out what was happening. She was far enough away that she hadn’t heard her son, but I was sure she was curious why she wasn’t walking down the makeshift aisle.
I looked at my son. “Thanks, Champ. Let’s do this.”
“About time,” Kace muttered from behind us. “You almost gave her time to come to her senses.”
“Pipe down,” Gyth told his friend, who just chuckled in response.
He and Gyth were both helping us renew our vows in front of all our friends; it didn’t feel right without them both. Plus, you couldn’t let one officiate without the other, or they’d bicker about it forever—not that it seemed to stop them from doing it anyway. Lyric and Ruby were once again standing up for us as everyone else sat in the white folding chairs with purple bows draped down the back looking on.
Suddenly, our guitars appeared. Gyth handed Griffin his, while Kace gave me mine. They’d kept them hidden until wewere ready so that my girl wouldn’t see them and ruin the surprise. As we got them in place, I heard a lot of oohs and aahs, but it was the gasp that grabbed my attention.
Looking back at Patience, I saw tears sparkling in her eyes.
That’s when Griffin and I began to play and sing to the best woman we knew.
The lyrics from “I Live My Life for You” by Firehouse floated freely from our lips, stunning everyone. Gyth and Kace knew what was to happen, so they were prepared to hand over instruments, but everyone else had been in the dark—including Patience.
Everyone stood as Gramps and Patience began to move. With every step she took closer to me, my heart strummed faster, matching my fingers on the strings of my guitar. Our son didn't miss a beat, singing from his soul and playing like he’d been doing it for twenty years—he was a natural.
