"I know you will, Stace. For the record, you were always my favorite best friend," he said, cautiously wrapping his arms around her as he started sobbing.
"Same Ken," she said, returning his embrace readily, rubbing his back.Eyes still on me, she stuck her tongue out at me, making me chuckle as I got up to join them."Un-fucking-believable. What am I, chopped liver?" I said, watching Kenny pull back as I shot him a nasty look."You're okay. Tolerable. Second best. I keep you around because of her," he said, wiping away his tears with the back of his sleeves. "I can't believe you fucking told her you were proposing. What the fuck is wrong with you? How will you survive marriage?"His stupid remark had us chuckling between the three of us. We all wrapped an arm around the other and shared a three way hug."Some best friend I am. You've been holding on to so much, Stace and I turned you into the bad guy. I'm sorry. I didn't k"Can we enjoy the sunrise now or did you put me in the photo, Scott Brady?" she asked suspiciously, chiding me, like she already knew the answer. If you're so damn smart, why don't you know what we're doing here? Fucking turn around. "Yes, yes I did," I said, a stupid grin on my face as I fought to keep the excitement out of my voice, slipping my hand into my pocket. Even with my heart thumping wildly in my chest, all the doubts went away as I pulled out the ring and cracked open the ring box. This was one hundred percent our moment. Who else knows what this photo means to me but you, baby? No wonder I was never satisfied with anything else. How could I have been, when you weren't in the photo? "Well there's still time. Take another one. Based on how you acted at the exhibition, you won't want to sell anything with me—" the words died in her throat when she finally turned around to face me. "In it," she finished, covering h
"Can't we do this another time? Sunrises come along every day and it's been such a long night," Stacy moped. Not this sunrise. Not this moment I wanted to give her. It was all she could do to hold onto the tripod towards the end, so I let her get on my back and gave her a piggyback ride the rest of the way up my mountain. "You knew this was coming. I warned you I'd be making you miserable by bringing you out here before the crack of dawn while we were in Fiji. Sacrifices have to be made to please your future husband, Stace," I said, enjoying the feel of her body pressed up against my back. The morning was chilly, contrasting with her body heat. Or was I sweating? Maybe she was right and this just wasn't our moment. It would come once though. The sunrise of our one year anniversary. I had this picture of how it was going to go down in my head and I just wasn't ready to give it up. "On our anniversary? We just spent two hours doing not fun shit. Can't your perfect photo wait one mor

"The trouble with being in love with Scott Brady is his love is like him. Audacious and loud. When you're the woman next to him, it's easy for people to think you're not equally as smitten. I know what he gave up for me. His home, his family, his friends, his safety, his whole life. I know what he risked for me. That doesn't mean I didn't give up things for him too. Risk everything for him too. I threatened my own father, the don of all dons, just so Scott would be my friend. I told myself giving up my life in the mafia wasn't all about him, but that was a lie. He's the whole reason I wanted out in the first place," she said, her eyes settling on me after awkwardly darting about the room. I widened my smile for her, flashing her the dimples I knew she was obsessed with, letting her affectionate words flow through me. Eager to give her a friendly face to look at. "I spent seven years slowly leaving everything I had ever known behind, because meeting you made me wa
"No, you're not leaving," said Marlene, grabbing Kenny's arms and turning him towards Stacy and I. "Your best friends are getting engaged today. You've been brooding about this whole situation for over a week and I'm sick of it. Deal with your shit, Kenny," said Marlene, her arms folded and chin jutted out. Go Marlene. Marriage looked good on her. She surprised me more and more all the time. "Does everyone know I'm proposing today?" I asked, focusing on the wrong thing entirely. It got my nervous, half asleep girlfriend to smile though. I'd take that. "You weren't exactly trying very hard to hide it," said Stacy, momentarily caught up in my eyes. I wished I could have her look like that for the rest of the day. A light blush tainted her cheeks and her smile was enough to bring armies to their knees. The way she looked at me made me feel like we were the only two people alive. As much as I appreciated what Marlene and even Jeff were t
I couldn't help myself. The pleasure went to my head. I gave him what he asked for, surrendering to my darkest urges. He didn't need the routine to keep me contracting on his dick after that. Instead, he shoved his tongue down my throat and pounded up into me. "Dammit. There are no words. Fuck," he said with a growl, his eyes rolling back in his head. "Are you ready for me to fill you up with come, baby?" I didn't have the restraint to tell him he was right. Just how good he felt inside me. I couldn't even get his name out as we fucked each other like beasts. All I could offer him was a nod and my mouth back on his, my arms wrapping around his neck tightly as his wrapped around my waist. I watched him intently as he shoved his dick deep into me and came for ages, my own orgasm climbing in blissful severity. My pussy squeezed his dick greedily throughout."Good girl," he said, pressing his forehead up against mine as his orgasm finally came to a
