    I wake up to Jade’s tongue moving across my
spine. I know she’s licking the tribal tattoo I have running down
my back, and it feels damn good. “Morning, Angel.”
    “You know what today is?”
    “Our wedding day.”
    “Until I kidnapped you.”
    “Best day of my life.”
    It was. Even though her dad and all of her
friends flipped out. Once Jade told them why we did it, they
admitted it was the best thing for us. I still hate that she gave
up her fancy wedding, which is why I worked with Stella on a
surprise for today.
    “Mine too. We should just stay in bed today.
You know, start our honeymoon early.”
    “We’ve been on a honeymoon since you came to
Paris and brought me home.”
    “True, but tomorrow it’s official. Two weeks
on a private island. Just you and me.”
    “And my cock. You know how sad he gets when
you forget him.”
    “I’ll never forget him.”
    “To get back to your original statement, we
can’t stay in bed today.”
    “Why not?”
    “We have a reception to get ready for.”
    “A reception? What did you do, Soldier?”
    “I didn’t do anything. I just
didn’t undo anything, either.”
    She sits up and stares at me in shock. “You
didn’t call anyone to cancel?”
    “The ceremony, yes. Just not the
reception.”
    “Nate.”
    “Jade.”
    “I can’t let you do this.”
    “It’s already done.”
    “I didn’t expect this.”
    “You weren’t supposed to.”
    “You’re really okay with this?”
    My heart swells as I see the worry in her
eyes. “Yes, Angel. I want to see you in your pretty dress, I want
to smash wedding cake in your face, and I want to dance with you
all night.”
    “Swooning again.”
    “Good.”
    “Can I ask for one thing?”
    “You can ask for a million things.”
    “I just want one. Can you just wear your
vest, and not your jacket? No tie, and your sleeves rolled up?”
    “You want some stubble too, don’t you?”
    “Yes. Please,” she moans.
    “Done.”
    She grabs my cock, but I reluctantly pull
her hand off of me.
    “He wants me.”
    “24/7. No doubt. I want you too, but Stella
will be here any minute.”
    “She’ll understand. She’s the last person
who’d cock-block me.”
    “Behave, Mrs. Anderson.”
    “Never, Mr. Anderson. And you know damn well
that you love it when I misbehave.”
    I smile and pull her close. “I do. Later.
You can do whatever you want to me later.”
    “I’m going to hold you to that.”
    “Please do.”
    She leans over me, and I
know she’s not going to wait. The doorbell rings before she can
make me push her away again. Which is a good thing, because
honestly I don’t know if I could push her away a second time. Saved by the
bell.

    Jade
     
    “You cock-blocked me, Stell,” I tell her
when I open the door.
    She looks horrified. “Go back upstairs! I’ll
come back, or just come to my place. What do you need? Five
minutes? Ten?”
    “She needs to go get ready. And five
minutes, Stell? I didn’t know you had such a low opinion of me,”
Nate tells her.
    “You can’t get her off in five?” she asks
him with a smirk.
    “Oh, he can, believe me he can,” I say with
a laugh.
    “Then it isn’t an insult, is it? Besides,
you know I love you, Nate. Especially since I didn’t have to cancel
the party.”
    “Love you too, Stell. Now get out.”
    “Nate!”
    “He just wants us to go get ready so he can
see you in your dress.”
    “Very true.”
    He kisses me hard and then pushes me out the
door as Stella laughs. “Have fun with your hand,” she tells him as
he flips her off before closing the door.
    We take the elevator to her floor, and when
the doors open, all of my girls are there. They’re in robes with
champagne glasses in their hands. Ellie hands me one and pulls me
into a hug. We hold onto each other for a full minute, while
everyone else lets us have our space. She understands why I did
what I did, but I know it hurts her.
    “I’m sorry,” I
