Page 70 of Accidentally in Love

She shook her head and grinned. “No, for your wedding night.”

I sighed.

I had put little thought into our wedding night. Our wedding was going to be small. I didn’t need to make a big production about wedding night sex. It wasn’t like Nolan and I hadn’t been having sex. We had been having it a lot. A LOT. So much that I was wearing him out. Last night, he said he was too tired. What man ever said that?

“Gem, you didn’t have to buy my dress,” I said to her. “And I don’t need lingerie for my wedding night.”

She waved me off. “I wanted to do it. You won’t do a registry or take my money if I write you a check. You can count it as a wedding gift.”

She walked over to the black lace teddies on the rack and fingered the lace. I moved down the aisles to look at the babydoll sets. I didn’t like to wear teddies, but a babydoll set would be nice. It would look flattering over my baby bump. Even though Nolan kept reassuring me, I looked sexy pregnant. I sure as hell didn’t feel sexy.

Gemma noticed me looking at the black lace babydoll in thought. “What does Nolan like?”

“Me with no clothes on,” I joked.

She tipped back her head and laughed. “Well, he is a man.”

I stepped over to the next aisle and came face-to-face with a red lacy babydoll set with a matching g-string thong. He loved red, and it was perfect for a Christmas wedding.

“He really loves red,” I said.

She raised a perfectly sculpted eyebrow. “Really? That’s interesting.”

I frowned. “Why?”

She shrugged. “I thought all guys liked black lace. Some like white for that virginal shit. Nolan likes red, though. Huh.”

I fingered the material. “I think it’s perfect.”

She nudged me. “Then get it and surprise your husband.”

I put the clothing in my arms. Behind it, I saw another set that looked like a halter top with red lace cups, but the rest of the material was sheer black.

“Oh, pretty, get that one too!”

I bit my lip. “Should I?”

“Girl, yes!”

“I don’t know if he’ll like it…”

“He’s a man. Men love seeing us in sexy outfits just for them. Hey! Where are you going for your honeymoon?”

I cocked my head at my sister. “We’re not.”

She gave me a quizzical look. “What do you mean?”

“Well… I’m pregnant, so…”

“So, what? You should still take some time to be together. You have time off during the holidays.”

I shrugged.

I put the lingerie in my arms and went to purchase both sets. It was exciting to have a surprise for Nolan. He would love them, even though he would want to rip them off immediately.

We walked out of the store and to my sister’s car to make the trek back to Drakesville. I always worried about her when she was living in South Philly and commuting. I was glad she moved into my old apartment. Now that she had moved to town and our places were within walking distance of each other, I hoped we’d see each other more often.

“You want to get dinner?” I asked.
