LindseyI never understood what the pull was to have s*x until last night. Reece made me feel amazing. While I am glad I waited for him because of the way he took care of me, I now understand people wanting to try out different partners before settling on ‘the one.’I lay there, very early morning light creeping in the window, in the warmth that I associate with Reece, not opening my eyes, wanting to savor the aftermath of our night together. But, I also knew whirlwind Brandon was probably already up and making preparations for our wedding today.As if I conjured him, by thinking about him. An over enthusiastic knock at the door and his cheery morning voice let me know he was coming in whether we liked it or not. Before I could truly register what that meant, the door came flying open and Brandon sauntered in wearing a cranberry colored suit with matching shoes and black tie. He took one look at me pressed up to Reese and smiled. I looked around myself and realized the sheet had slippe
LindseyWe step out of the car and Angie helps me adjust my dress and make sure everything is picture perfect. She looks amazing in her off the shoulder cranberry colored dress. I think everything fits her perfectly without trying. The sheer material falling off her shoulders highlights her ivory skin and her raven hair is pulled into a loose messy bun behind her right ear. Her make-up is simple, similar to mine.She gives me a tight hug and then we both start following Brandon around the side of the building down a cobbled pathway and through two more vine covered archways to a garden with high vine and flower covered walls making the space feel intimate and private.At the opposite end of the garden I see Reece’s massive form filling out a tux jacket to almost breaking point. His head is down and his hands are in his pockets. He looks lost in thought.I don’t even hesitate or wait to be told to move. Everything in me wants to be near him, like that is where I belong and this is far t
Reece“ARE YOU F**KING KIDDING ME REECE?! What were you thinking, marrying that child without my consent?” My grandfather is raging after the girls left. “Do you realize what you have done to this family? You have ruined us all now, all of our plans have been f**ked in a matter of stupid hormonal moments from you. You have never been this impulsive before, you have to leave now, while she is being distracted. We will get this annulled and you can complete your union with Dominique like you were supposed to. I will make your excuses to the family. Just go now.” He sits down and rubs his hands over his face as if I am the one being unreasonable. I just let him yell and get it out, my rage growing as he insults Lindsey. I finally break when he just assumes I am going to leave her, just because he said so.“You had better start explaining yourself old man. You have exactly five minutes to tell me what your real issue is.” I growl out and cross my arms over my chest, Max matching my moveme
LindseyI can tell whatever was said after Angie and I left Reece and the guys really affected him. He hasn’t put me down since he carried me down the aisle. He said he would tell me later and we haven’t had a moment without other people around the whole day, but something feels off, like he’s keeping me close out of fear.I have to take a deep breath and trust him. He hasn’t lied to me yet, I just hope he won’t keep whatever this is from me thinking he is protecting me. He settles in a chair sitting me sideways across his lap wrapping both arms around me. I snuggle into his chest, and rest my head on his shoulder, letting his body heat calm me down. Brandon brings us both water and I am so thankful. I don’t know if I could start drinking anything right now.“Well, my lovelies, and Bossman, after that very interesting ceremony are you ready for the rest of the wolves?” Brandon laughs and I try to smile, but I can’t even force it. I don’t know if I can handle any more bulls**t today fro
Thank you for your patience while this story has been on hold for a bit. I had a family emergency that required my full attention for much longer than I anticipated. I am back to the keyboard now!I am writing regularly again and editing as quickly as possible. My regular posting schedule will be twice a week as I build up my chapters. I hope to be back to a daily posting schedule by the end of July. I appreciate all who read and continue to help me grow as a new writer.As always constructive comments are always welcomed and appreciated.
LindseyWe got to our hotel in record time. Reece ushers me straight to the very large bathroom and lifts me on to the sink to inspect my arm. He looks terrified, like it wasn’t just a little bit of glass. For some reason this tantrum of Dominique’s has affected him more than anything else she has tried so far.“It doesn’t look like there is any glass in your arm. I’m so sorry about that, I should have been able to protect you better.” He gently caresses my face, looking almost broken.“I already told you, don’t do that. She is a leech that will not go away easily. We’ll figure something out, but this isn’t your fault, it’s hers. Now, help me out of this dress before I get blood all over it. I think there might be some pieces of glass stuck in here.” I gesture toward my cleavage and give him my best flirtatious look trying to distract him. Thank God it works. I watch his eyes dilate as they roam from my face and down my neck.I slowly work my shoulder straps down exposing my breasts. M
ReeceI roll over and stretch, reaching for Lindsey, hoping to get a little more sleep before we leave for our honeymoon. As I reach around the bed, though, I can't find her. I shoot up, my grandfather’s words ringing in my head. I frantically look around the room and find her sleeping at the dining table with the tabloids and magazines scattered everywhere.I look at her face and it is clear she has been crying. The tabloid under her cheek explains why. Dominique has been cornering me as often as possible for a month now. Showing up everywhere I go. Even Brandon can’t find the leak in our operation. I think it is my grandfather, but we have kept things from him as well, so I know it’s not only him or he has several people reporting to him.The tabloid under her face is a picture of me and Dominique the day before I met Lindsey. My grandfather talked me into having dinner with Dominique and she got sloppy drunk and was hanging all over me. Of course her picture-hungry mongrels caught
LindseyOn the way home from the hotel I am still super pissed. I sat as far away from him as I possibly could. I wasn’t sure what I wanted, but space is something I needed to sort out my thoughts. I was glad he let me go to the room to change by myself. He at least understood that I would put up a good front out in public, but our fight hasn’t even begun. With everything I overheard, both of our companies would suffer if we didn’t get this situation figured out. We could deal with Fabian easily, but the mess with his grandfather was going to be far more complicated and Max said I would be needed to help make it right. I am not going to let the innocent people who rely on us for their livelihood suffer because of the greedy people in the mix. That is my only motivation right now for being helpful. Max said I am needed. And so far, he and James are the only people who haven’t lied to me or kept things from me, so my loyalty is with them right now.While I dress, I chose something that
