“A belt wouldn’t have helped.”
Lara scrunches her nose. “Unfortunately, I don’t have the ass she does to fit her pants.”
“I’m not talking about my sister’s ass. Yours, however, is fair game.” My foot nudges hers playfully. “I enjoyed what we did yesterday.”
I will never tire of seeing her blush. Lara takes a gulp of her drink, eyes watering at the heat.
“Careful,” I caution her.
“Hot, hot,” she pants, putting her cup down.
Uncrossing my leg, I lean forward and pick up a napkin, touching it to the coffee on her top lip.
“You okay? Need some water?”
She shakes her head.
“You’re sweet.” She blushes.
I pinch her chin between my fingers. “Your safety and well-being are my number one priority. I thought I showed you that on Halloween.” I try to cast her mind back discreetly.
Lara’s eyes bulge, and she glances around as much as she can while I hold her chin.
“Shhh,” she hisses.
“And I’ll let what happened earlier go, given it’s our wedding day, but when I tell you to stay inside, stay inside. Next time, I’ll spank your ass before I fuck it raw.”
Lara gasps, blushing as she vigorously nods. I shake her chin, stilling her movements, needing her to see that I’m serious.
“Yes, sir,” she murmurs, her chest heaving.
My heart swells.
“Other than that yummy latte, what else do you need in town?” I ask, glancing down at my watch.After a quick call to Molly, our county clerk and member of my mother’s book club, while Lara changed, we headed over to sign the paperwork before stopping for coffee. Our marriage license will be ready and waiting for us at three this afternoon.
The girls can plan a wedding afterward—anything Lara wants. I don’t care. All that matters to me is that she’s my wife by the end of the day.
“Nowhere,” she answers quickly, too quickly.
I will find out what she’s hiding.
“Princess, we have until three to do what you want. I’d like to go pack your things at one, enough for a few days, but if you need to go somewhere, we can collect your things after the wedding. When we’re married.” I stress the last three words.
“I . . .” She struggles to find her words, but I don’t.
“This is happening, Lara.”
Wetting her lips, she fiddles with her cup. “Marriage licenses take a while to get.”
“They can,” I agree, “but ours won’t.”
“We could just get the license today and wait.”
“Lara,” I press, “we’re getting married. Our local judge is going to meet us there with my family at three. An unusual request, but one Judge Greene couldn’t say no to.” I lean forward like I’m sharing a secret. “I reminded him my father would be there. Judge Greene has had a small crush since they were young.”
“He’ll marry us . . . just like that?” She sounds aspanicked as she looks—her pretty mouth drops open invitingly and her round eyes grow bigger, but it just highlights the way her pupils dilate.
“I told you this is happening. The county clerk’s office will file the paperwork today, and it’ll be rushed through. All sorted in a week, two tops before we receive the marriage certificate.”
