“Oh, and your habit of arranging food into happy little family unitsisn’t?”
“Says the guy who won’t adopt a male dog because he doesn’t want the canine’s genitalia on his carseats.”
“Nobodywantsthat!”
Jake’s voice peaked in amusement, and we both laughed with the comfortable camaraderie of two people who truly understood each other. It was difficult to fully describe the wonders of loving your best friend… of having someone you trusted with your life to walk you through the good times and bad. Jake was that person for me, and despite the conversation we’d had before the wedding, I was certain that he and I still shared all the same aspirations, even if his might need a little fine-tuning. I had no doubt children would be part of our future, and that there would come a time when Jake would hold our baby in his loving arms and not even remember the doubts he’d onceharbored.
My eyes caught on his sculpted face, and a knot formed in my throat. Damn! What man looked that good in a tux? It really was criminal. Suddenly, I had an overwhelming desire to consummate our marriage in the most primitive of ways. Okay, making love inside a luxury limo was probably not considered primeval, but it was hot and dangerous, and that was how I wanted us to remember our first time together as husbandandwife.
I must have been staring at him for too long because he cocked his brow andasked, “What?”
I ran my tongue seductively over my lips, giving Jake his first indication of things to come. Gesturing with my finger, I made it known I wanted him by my side. He didn’t need to be told twice. Setting down the forks on the way, he slid into the spot next to me, looking every bit as randy asIfelt.
“You are about to be a very happy husband,” I whispered seductively, flicking my tongue over his lips. Jake ran his fingers down my throat, tracing a line to the dip between my breasts. His hand slid under the silk and into the white lacey brassiere, which had miraculously provided my breasts with the oomph they so deserved. With a single-minded focus, his warm hand circled my nipple, and I groaned on contact. Jake lifted his lust-filled eyes to mine; then, catching my jaw, he tilted my head and we stared at one another with a hunger neither of us could deny. I dipped in closer as his lips pushed into mine, rough and wanting. Our mouths drew open, sealed by the bond of our lips, and my tongue pushedagainsthis.
Jake’s hands gripped the sides of my face, his fingers resting in the tangles of my hair, the sheer force of the kiss bruising my lips. My body pulsed with desire, aching for something more. Wrapping my arms tightly around his neck, I kept our lips moving as I lifted my leg up and over, straddling his lap as I pushed against him. A hollow groan released from his throat but was stifled by the barrier our lipshadmade.
Jake broke roughly from the kiss, panting. “Jesus, Casey. You’re making me crazy.” With no reprieve for him in sight, I continued rotating my hips, no more able to control my lust than he. “If we are doing this” – he gasped out the words as my tongue slithered into his ear, my hot breath sending shivers through him – “Then I…um… I… oh fuck… um… I need to text… um Pete. Keep him…others…away.”
As my nails raked jaggedly over the back of his neck, Jake arched his back, wedging me in tighter onto his package. He was slowly losing his cool, and even though texting was probably not the sexiest thing he could be doing at the moment, I agreed with the principlebehindit.
“Send the text,” I murmured in a low and heated tone. Jake, flushed with desire, pulled out his phone, typed something out, and tossed it on the seat beside us. As I leaned in closer, my tongue traced lightly along the edge of his ear, giving the lobe a tantalizing little flick. Jake’s body trembled in a muted, restrained quiver. Our eyes locked and his softened with the unmistakable look of love. Leaning in, I dangled my lips over his until he lifted his up and our lips slowly came together. I melted slowly, deliciously into his arms, our mouths locked on one another, and I savored this moment with him as if it were ourfirst.
The confines of the limo and the steamy heat inside only served to heighten the senses. Pulling apart from him, I flicked his lip with my tongue playfully then pushed him back against the seat. I removed Jake’s expensive Armani coat and flung it to the other side of the limo before tackling the shirt and tie. My fingers deftly went to work unbuttoning, but after the eighth one, I got impatient with the tedious process and just pulled the dress shirt out of his tuxedo pants and up over his head. With the buttons on his sleeves still attached, the shirt hung in front of him, binding his wrists like handcuffs. Whatever Houdini moves he’d have to make to free himself was none of my concern, as I’d already moved on to his well-muscled stomach, delighting in the feel of his sculpted abs. An animalistic little growl accompanied my mouth as I dipped my tongue into the deep ridges. Jake’s body shook as he laid his head against the cool leather interior ofthelimo.
Pulling me off his lap, Jake made quick work of his pants. He’d only managed to free the dress shirt from his left wrist so it was dangling off the right. After wriggling out of my panties, I was trying to figure out how I was going to get out of my wedding gown when a thought occurredtome.
“Babe, would you mind if I kept mydresson?”
A deep, sensual chuckle vibrated through the vehicle before he nodded his approval and said, “I’d expectnothingless.”
I straddled his lap, dress billowing out on all sides. White fabric was everywhere, but we’d have to make it work; I was determined to get one more spectacular use out of my beautiful gown before it went into storage forever. Suddenly I was aware of Jake's mouth tugging gently at my ear as he waded his way through the fabric of my wedding gown to get to the good parts beneath. Once his long, agile fingers found their way under my dress, he immediately used them to stroke the inside of my thigh. Dampness formed between my legs, sending a blistering shiver rattling my body that spread out evenly to all myextremities.
With only the dull glow of the overhead car light to illuminate our faces now, I felt a staggering sense of reckless desire and unrestrained anticipation. I arched in pleasure as his fingers traveled along the dips and curves of my body before wandering up between my legs and teasing me in that most desired of places. Everything pulsed as my body adjusted to its yearnings and intensified hunger. I pressed against his hand, taking what my body desired while balancing myself by pushing down on his thighs for support. The windows had sealed in our steam, protecting us from gawkers while cloaking us in a sheet of sticky, humid spice. We moved together in unison as waves of sensation threatened to overtake me before I even had my husbandinsideme.
Jake gripped my waist and rubbed himself against my entrance before positioning me over him. I moaned as he slowly lowered me down. My hair, once styled so beautifully, was now cascading over my shoulders in a tangled mess. I stared intently into his eyes as we moved together in perfect rhythm. His open mouth hovered below mine as he took shallow breaths and I could do nothing but attack them lustfully. My tongue pushed into his mouth only to find his ready andwaiting.
Breaking our kiss, Jake traveled down my neck, that tongue of his tracing wet lines across my skin and making me shiver. All the while he moved in me, growing harder and more intense with each passing minute. I dropped my head back as Jake’s tongue formed snail trails along my sensitive neck. Wrapping my arms tighter around Jake’s neck, I bucked into him, panting as I encouraged his participation. But Jake was making me wait, and in turn, taking away the very last remnant of my self-control. With my body in a heightened state of desire, I swept my fingers throughhishair.
Jake said nothing as he clamped his lips against the side of my neck and began pumping, thrusting steadily in and out, supporting me. As he controlled my movements with his powerful grip on my backside, I felt myself rapidly heating toward the boiling point, and my thoughts became clouded, my consciousness submerging in a rising sea of liquid passion. My legs clamped tighter around him, and suddenly Jake’s hips bucked hard against me, and I felt him release in long, jetting bursts deep inside me. The sensation triggered my own climax, and my head jerked forward, bumping against the limo window as my entire body clenched with a powerful shudder, legs locked, nails violently raking Jake’s neck and shoulders. I made no sound other than a tiny, choking gasp, and time seemed to stop. When I, at last, managed to draw another breath, I realized I had scratched Jake's skin hard enough to draw blood; and he looked at me with mild surprise before devouring my lips with a deep,longkiss.

Giddyfrom our lovemaking session in the limo, I skipped my way down the hallway to our honeymoon suite. Jake trailed behind, refusing to partake in such childish antics, yet there was no doubt he found my mood infectious. The wide smile on his face was proofpositive.
I stopped at the door to our room. “You’re planning to carry me over the threshold,right?”
“I feel like there’s been a whole lot more carrying today than in the averagewedding.”
“Well, you know, if your limo hadn’t gotten stuck and my heel hadn’t snapped off, you could have cut the carryinginhalf.”
“Although I feel it’s important to add that the limo never would have gotten stuck had you been able to wait the five minutes it would have taken to get to the hotel and order roomservice.”
“True, but if I hadn’t demanded fast food, then we wouldn’t have been eating it in the backseat of the limo, and…well… you know what happenedafterthat.”
He nodded, smiling. “Youwin.”
Scooping me into his arms, Jake carried me into our room and dumped me unceremoniously onto the bed. His face was flushed with the effort as he collapsedbesideme.
