“Hey, sweetheart, you’re home. You look good enough to eat,” he offered seductively.
“No.”
“No, what?”
“We are not having sex. Why do you always do this when I’m all made up?”
“When do I ever do this? We don’t go to many events.”
“I seem to remember a few years back, that someone just had to have me against the closet door before we went to the Kids Afloat Gala.”
She thought back to how passionate they were that night only to have their bubble of bliss destroyed by Liam.
He licked his lips, “I could do that again. It would only take a few minutes.”
“As tempting as that sounds, I will have to pass.”
She turned to walk into the bedroom, and he quickly grabbed her, pulling her into his lap. The cats scattered as he cradled her in his arms.
Ava squealed, “Stop it. If I am late, Sam is going to kill me. She was already pissed that I barely made it on time to the salon.”
He ignored her and pressed his lips to hers. She tried to resist but his tongue pushed into her mouth, and she melted. His hand moved to her breasts and began to massage them. She started to feel flushed, and she stilled his hand. If she didn’t stop Xander from going further, they would be having sex within the next few minutes.
“Please, wait!”
He released her, “I expect that you will make it up to me tonight?”
“You have my word. And just so you know; it isn’t easy to say no to you.”
He smiled at her as she went to the bedroom to retrieve her dress, the bag with her shoes and other accessories. She gave Xander a peck on the cheek just as the phone from the front desk rang, the limo had arrived.
“How do I look?” She was wearing a soft peach colored ankle length strapless dress. Her ample cleavage was held up by built-in cups. She moved closer to Dani (who was wearing an identical dress), and Rachel snapped a picture.
Ava stood marveling at the ceiling of The Pierre. No matter how many times she had been here, she still couldn’t get over the opulence of the interior. The chandeliers alone could hold her attention. Xander escorted her into the ballroom, and she almost tripped because she wasn’t paying attention to where she was going.
“If you love this place so much, maybe we should look into having our wedding here,” Xander whispered.
“I think it would be very expensive. Mr. Poulos is paying for Sam and Robert’s wedding, so they can afford it. Not that they couldn’t afford it themselves, but he offered.”
“So where would you like to get married? And when?”
“Can we just get through this wedding first?” She was annoyed because she felt that Xander was pushing her to make decisions she wasn’t ready to make. She knew he just wanted to get their lives started as a married couple.
She was thrilled that they had a short ceremony. It was a warm day, and the church where the ceremony was held had poor air circulation. Xander beamed at her as the priest married Sam and Robert. She knew he must be thinking of what their wedding would be like. She was regretting that she pushed him towards a large gathering. Now that she had time to think she would prefer something small and more intimate but it was too late.
She had looked around the church and spotted David; his face a permanent scowl. He was angry at her for something she couldn’t change. If it had been another place and time, maybe even two years ago, her feelings might be different. But Xander had ruined her for other men. She would always compare them to him, and they would never win. She loved him, heart and soul.
Xander escorted her to one of the two tables designated for the bridal party. He sat down next to her and kissed her hand.
“You look so beautiful in that dress. I wish we were alone.”
“If we were alone, I wouldn’t be in this dress.”
He smiled wickedly at her.
She turned to talk to Rachel and Rodrigo, who were sitting in the two chairs next to her. Xander rose to get a drink at the bar. As he was standing there, he was approached by David.
“Can I talk to you?”
