39 - It Stays Here
Monday brought us absolutely perfect weather for being outside and I was elated to get some fresh air.
Beth and Heath were absolutely adorable together, and seeing how careful he was with her, and already very protective, my heart just burst.
It really is crazy how life turns out. If I hadn’t lost my grant, I wouldn’t have gone clubbing with Kari and met Haven. I laughed to myself thinking about it all, now I was with an insanely rich guy and would never have to worry about money again.
Beth and I had worn suits under our clothes and when we made it to the waterfall, we all jumped in the water around it. There were a few other couples and even some kids around, but I wished we had it all to ourselves.
I soon found myself starving and as always, Derek read my mind.
“Lunch is being set up,” he said pointing to people carrying some picnic baskets and bl

In The Dark 40 - It's Her, It's Him
The next few days seemed to go by like a blur, there was just a flurry of activity around the apartment. Derek made sure that both of his parents were going to be at the party, and I was growing increasingly nervous about meeting them.I had never even seen pictures of them, he didn’t have any around.Before I knew it, Saturday afternoon was here and we were back at his grandfather’s mansion getting dressed. Marcus was absolutely in his element and I was just along for the ride, doing everything he told me.The window of Derek’s bedroom overlooked the side of the property, where they were setting everything up. There were round tables each with seating for eight. There was a stage for a band and a large dance floor was set in the grass.There were icicle and fairy looking lights strung all over the place, with white flowers literally everywhere.Derek had someone come to do my hair and make-up thankfully, b
In The Dark 41- Vegas
~Eve’s Point of View~I laid in Derek’s arms, he was in a deep sleep. When we got to the hotel, Derek made love to me, for hours and my body needed it as much as my heart.He did absolutely everything possible to reassure me and while I did feel better, or at least I was sure he didn’t hate me, I still just felt rotten on some level.I felt Helen would love nothing more than to call me a whore, surely she’d say a 'gold digging whore'. I got up and got a bottle of cold water and instantly felt a bit better.I crawled back in bed and began to flip through the channels. Even though Derek exhausted my body, my mind was wide awake. I found myself lost in a commercial for Las Vegas tourism when I had a thought hit me out of the blue.I looked at Derek and my hand almost began to move him, to wake him up ... but he looked too peaceful. I resolved to bring it up in the morning,
In The Dark 42 - Round Them Up
~Derek's Point of View~We flew the short hop to New York City to get my family, but we weren’t getting off the plane ...we were getting right back in the sky. Everyone got settled, believing that we were flying to D.C. for the engagement party.We were in the air for about 15 minutes and I stood up, asking for everyone’s attention. I had the flight attendants bring out champagne and sparkling juice for the kids.“I have a confession to make, as you all know Eve and I are getting married … but what you may not know is, we are getting married this weekend!”Everyone gasped.“We aren’t flying to D.C., we’re flying to VEGAS!”Ruby perked up, “CAN WE SEE MAGICIANS?!”I already knew she would ask and I had bought out a magic show for Sunday afternoon.“Yes we can my little angel, we are doing that on Sunda
In The Dark 43- Peek-A-Boo
The next 24 hours hours were a blur, between getting everyone what they needed and having everyone (okay so only my side) freaking out and gawking at every little thing, it was exhausting.Early on Friday evening, Marcus took me to his room and showed me the dress. It was unlike anything I’d ever seen and I could tell he basically wished he was the bride.I didn't know Marcus when he and Rob had gotten married but I made a mental note to ask for pictures. I was dying to see what a Marcus wedding looked like.I really had no clue what kind of dress I would have picked out on my own so I was happy to let him do it. Marcus went on and on, it was Vera Wong or something, I had no clue.It was stunning but kind of fun and sexy. The back was very low but I was wearing my hair down, as that was Derek’s favorite thing.I could already tell Derek was going to lose it when he saw the thirty or so buttons that started at the
In The Dark 44 - Hope You Had Fun
~Derek’s Point of View~I could have cared less about a bachelor party, but everyone was all about it. I had been to my share of strip clubs, and it wasn’t anything great. It was a great way for Heath and I to blow off some steam, go out and have fun sometimes. But I wasn't a single guy anymore.It really didn’t matter to me now that I had the hottest girl randomly coming to bed in little outfits. Eve always surprised me and I fucking loved it, cheerleader costume, nurse, school girl, it was all so hot.I had never done role playing but she just took it to another level and I was addicted. Any fantasy I had or could imagine, I would save for my girl.Heath was the mastermind behind the night out, we started at a normal club, everyone starting to let loose, then we hit the strip club.It was going to be real weird to have Haven watching a naked woman dance on me, and I decided I wasn
In The Dark 45 - Send Him Back
~Eve’s Point of View~I woke up confused, for a moment I totally forgot where I was. I realized I was naked and my whole body ached. I felt incredibly thirsty but saw a water on the table, so I grabbed it quickly and drank it down.Derek was passed out next to me, equally naked and I wondered if we’d had sex when I got back?How did I get back? I didn’t even remember it.The last thing I remembered was peek-a-boo with Axel.I smirked to myself thinking about his perfect ass. I rolled over and spooned Derek since his back was to me, and I felt him stir.“How are you feeling my little drunkard,” he said.“Hungry,” I said, with a sigh.I was so glad the wedding wasn’t until later tonight, I seriously needed the day to recover.Derek turned to face me and said, “do you even remember last night?&rdquo
In The Dark 46 - She's Your Problem
~Derek’s Point of View~This was it, my last few moments of the single life, which I was more than happy to leave behind. I couldn’t wait to see my bride, I couldn’t wait to rip her dress off tonight.I already knew she bought some naughty lingerie because I saw it when going through her suitcase for a hair tie last night. My biggest hope was that we always stayed hot for each other, that physical connection meant everything to me, I craved this woman.I’d never even remotely been close to someone like I was to Eve, I could tell her anything, share everything with her and it just fit.I was standing at the altar, looking out at our family and friends, feeling like the luckiest asshole on the planet.The music started and I held my breath, ready to see her, to have those green eyes staring back at me. The bridesmaids all came down and Heath was cutt
In The Dark 47 - Sign Here
Eve and I had woken up twice in the night and fucked each other back to sleep. She was perfect for me in every way and I had never felt more content. We were lost in a tangled mess of each other, deep in sleep when my phone rang, it was a specific ringtone for my grandfather.I quickly tried to get out of bed and find my pants, just getting to it on the last possible ring.“Hey, everything okay,” I said, wondering why he’d be bothering me right now.“Yes, yes, all is well. There is some business though we need to address, the sooner the better, I’ll see you kids for brunch at 11,” and he hung up.I groaned.He didn’t bother me with trivial things, but this was the morning after my wedding.What was so important?I looked at the time, 10:40am, really dude?I also noticed that he didn’t invite us or ask, he said we would be there, mean
