“Well, if it makes you feel any better before I came in here, Cash was pacing in the hall, asking every three minutes when the ceremony was starting.”
I burst out laughing just as the door opens and my mom comes in.
“It’s time,” she whispers, wiping her eyes at the sight of me in my dress.
Addison hands me my bouquet and I take a deep breath.
Here we go.
“How does it feel to officially be Mrs. Harris?” Cash whispers, kissing my neck and sending heat throughout my entire body. I’m currently sitting on his lap, his arms wrapped around my middle as we watch everyone dance, drink, and generally have a great time.
“Who says I’m changing my name?” I tease, knowing full well I will do just that once we come back from wherever Cash is taking me on our honeymoon.
“You know, if we weren’t surrounded by our friends and family, I would show you just what I think of that statement.” His fingers graze the high slit of my dress as I take a deep breath, wanting nothing more than to feel his fingers against me.
“Cash,” I whisper, hiding my face in the crook of his neck as those deft fingers find my heat, sending pulsing pleasure floating throughout every limb. “There are people everywhere,” I moan, hiding the sound in his neck, my teeth biting his skin when the tips of his fingers find my clit.
“I know, and you better give me what I want before I drag you out of here and let everyone know exactly where we’re going and how many times I’m going to make you come before the night is over.”
God, that mouth of his never gets old. I open my lips to argue but before I can, he plunges those fingers inside me and my entire body tightens around him. He knows I’m seconds away from coming, I’ve been on edge since I saw him at the end of the aisle wearing that navy-blue suit, jet-black tie, and eyes full of so much love that I wondered if I’d stumbled back into one of my fantasies.
“Please,” I beg, my fingers tightening around the base of his skull, pulling his face to mine and kissing him just as the orgasm takes over, sending my body into overdrive. Every limb begins to shake like a leaf as he gives me all the pleasure I’ve been seeking since I woke up without him this morning.
“That’s it, baby. You know how much I love it when you come all over my hand,” he mutters against my lips as the aftershocks rock my body. I keep my eyes closed, hoping no one saw me come on my husband’s lap. “God, every time you do that, it’s the hottest fucking thing I’ve ever seen.”
I chuckle, basking in the fact that my husband craves me just as much as I crave him.
“I love you,” I whisper, kissing him once more before lifting my head to peer around us, a sigh of relief escaping when I see that no one noticed that I just had an orgasm.
“I love you more.” Cash kisses me lightly and I lean back against his chest, looking around the room and wondering how I got this lucky.
Epilogue
ADDISON
I’m done. I’m not ready to be a father and I won’t be trapped in that life. Don’t contact me again.
Shit.
I can’t say I’m surprised this text came tonight. I figured it was coming since Brendan decided to stop taking my calls, coming to appointments, or being interested in anything to do with the baby for months. But I was holding out hope that he would get his act together and do it with me.
I guess I was wrong.
“Addi? You okay?” Max asks, coming to sit beside me on the front porch swing of my brother’s house.
I came out here the second I saw Brendan’s name light up my phone. I knew what was coming and I knew I needed to be away from all the testosterone that I knew would pile on top of me once they all found out what was happening.
When I say nothing, Max eyes my stomach, that sadness I can’t quite pinpoint enters his gaze and for the millionth time over the last seven months, I wonder if I should ask him what that look means. But every time I open my mouth to do just that, I chicken out, wanting to stay in this everlasting limbo where I hold a sliver of hope that he feels the same about me as I do about him.
Being in love with your brother’s best friend is one thing. Being in love with him while carrying another man’s child is something completely different. I knew Brendan wasn’t my endgame when I started dating him. He was younger, full of life and I wanted to feel something other than loneliness for once in my life. But in the back of my mind, I knew that all I wanted was Max. It’s always been Max.
And now that dream is shattered with my little nugget growing so fast inside me. What man would want to spend time with a single mom who can’t even hold on to the father of her child?
“Addison?” Max repeats, my head snapping in his direction, and I can’t stop the tears from falling. “Shit,” he whispers against my temples, my eyes closing at the feel of his lips against me. “What happened? Who do I need to beat up?”
A laugh sputters out as tears fall and I lean against his shoulder, holding out my phone so he can see the text.
“That piece of shit. I knew he didn’t deserve you. Scum of the earth.”
