Page 77 of Complete Me

Brielle and Logan—it will be their turn next—Killian and Daniel, Nana, Sarah and Chris, Mom and Dad, and then finally to my beautiful wife standing right beside me.

I’ve come to the realization that family is the most important thing in my life. Without these people, blood or not, I wouldn’t be the man I am today. Each and every one of them have made my life better, and for that, I’m genuinely grateful.

I turn to face Jeni and take her head in my hands and kiss her with all the passion I can muster. Her hands automatically move to my hair, and I pull her body as close to mine as it can get, so every inch of us is touching. She moans slightly as my tongue finds hers, and we kiss passionately for what seems like an eternity but is only enough time for everyone to leave the barn and watch Mom and Dad drive off on their honeymoon. I take my lips from hers, and Jeni stands there looking at me with her beautiful, sparkling green eyes, and I revel in her beauty.

“Aiden, are you okay?” Jeni asks.

“Baby, I’m perfect. I didn’t realize how much I love you and our family until now,” I admit.

“Well, we all love you, too. So very much.”

“Jeni, you understand just how much I cherish you, don’t you?”

She smiles at me, her eyes sparkling the way they do, then she inhales with a simple nod of her head.

“I do.”
