Turning, I looked to my dress hanging on a hook behind the door, the white garment bag swollen with the layers of tulle. Bianca had helped me pick it out, coming to fittings with me when Darcy had had to go to an OBGYN appointment. We’d grown a lot closer over the year, to the point where she actually felt like a sister to me.

“Are you ready to get dressed?” Darcy asked, breezing into my room.

“I think so, yeah.”

“Good. Oh, wait, that was a knock on the door.”

She came back in with Bianca, who looked amazing in an emerald green gown that hugged her perfect figure. Her dark hair was up in a soft twist with soft tendrils framing her face. Her makeup was done tastefully, enhancing her natural beauty.

“Are you ready?” she asked, clapping her hands excitedly.

I smiled. Ready to spend the rest of my life with her brother? “Yes.”

Together, my best friend and future sister-in-law helped me into the Pnina Tornai gown. The top half was a corset with a sweetheart neckline and a few see-through panels along my ribs. The bottom half was a princess skirt with layers of tulle and lace. It was stunning, and I felt beautiful in it. As Bianca moved behind me to lace up the back, I stared at the floor, wondering what I’d look like. Seeing it and trying it on in a shop was one thing, but to see it on with full hair and makeup, that was something else.

I sucked in a breath with the final pull of the corset, placing my hand to my stomach.

“You look amazing, babe,” Darcy said, looking at me.

“Yeah?” I ran my hands down the skirt. “You don’t think it’s too much?”

“Please,” Bianca adds. “My brother will love it because it’s you in there. He was actually more difficult to deal with planning the wedding.”

I laughed at that because I could see how Bane’s controlling side would’ve come out. He’d told me he wanted the start of our lives together to be perfect to make up for the shitty starts we’d both had. I told him I simply wanted to be his wife, which, of course, had led to some of the hottest sex we’ve had so far.

The girls helped me slip on my shoes, then handed me my bouquet. It was almost go-time. We were meeting the photographer downstairs to take some shots before getting in the car and going to La Venta Inn, where we’d get married overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The ceremony was going to be small—Bianca and James, and, of course, little Valentine, Darcy and Baron, and Bane’s colleagues, Dagger and Andy, would be on hand for security.

I didn’t mind that it was such an intimate wedding. It was going to be nice to be surrounded by my favorite people, but the only thing that really mattered at the end of the day was that I was going to be Wren Rivera.

Fuck,why was I so nervous? As I waited for my future wife to walk down the aisle, I did my best not to shove my hands in my pockets or thrust them through my hair. I was fucking wired, and that nervous energy was there for everyone to see.

“She’ll be here,” James said into my ear.

I turned to look at my brother-in-law. “I know. I just…” I didn’t know what. I was nervous, not because I didn’t think she’d come but because I wasn’t sure I could control myself long enough to get through the ceremony before I had to take her cunt. We slept apart last night, and it had nearly killed me. After being together every single day for a year, waking up beside her, having showers with her, fucking sinking in between her legs at every opportunity, being apart for that one night had seemed like a death sentence.

Turning around, I looked out at the ocean and breathed in deep. Our ceremony was small compared to most of the Hollywood elites. Neither of us wanted to fill it up with people we hardly spoke to. We weren’t even having a huge party afterward. Bianca had been granted access to the La Venta kitchen, and she was going to be cooking us some of our favorites. I couldn’t wait to sit down with my wife and my family to celebrate.

“Bianca just arrived,” James said, bouncing Valentine on his hip. My niece had grown so much in the past year. She looked a lot like James, but I could see my sister in her too. “Darcy’s here, too.”

I turned my head quickly to take a look. Bianca gave me a thumbs up before she accepted Valentine onto her lap, and Darcy rested her hand on her expanding stomach and smiled. I nodded at her, a pang of longing shooting through me at seeing that new life inside her. I wanted Wren pregnant. I wanted to see her growing with the lifeIput in there, but I also understood if she wasn’t so quick to jump on the baby train with me.

The music started, a piece I didn’t recognize, and I turned around, my gaze firmly on the place where Wren would appear. I sucked in a breath when I saw her. She looked like an angel coming toward me, her cream gown making her tits and waist look fucking amazing. Baron was walking her down the aisle, her hand resting on top of his forearm as they made the slow walk toward me.

Everything seemed to disappear. I couldn’t see anything, hear anything, other than Wren and the sound of my heart thumping irregularly against my ribs. She was a vision. Baron gave her to me with a smile before taking his place beside his wife.

I leaned in and kissed my Little Bird. Fuck the traditions. Our friends and family laughed before the celebrant cleared her throat and broke us up. Wren blinked at me, then smiled.

I tuned out what the celebrant was saying. We’d opted for the traditional vows. Wren already knew how I felt about her, so she didn’t need me to say those words again in front of witnesses. The only people who mattered knew the depth of our love, and I would love the fuck out of her for as long as I drew breath.

Wren was looking at me expectedly, and I turned to the celebrant. She whispered, “This is your line.”

“Fuck. I do.”

I watched as Wren said her vows to me. We then exchanged rings, and I was kissing my wife. My fucking amazing, beautifulwife.
