Nathan’s POVAfter eating last night, both Amelie and I were exhausted. We snuggled into bed, and Amelie fell asleep almost immediately. She definitely had a trying day and deserved the rest. I ended up staying up a bit and working on my phone. Amelie was lying on my chest and snoring like a little kitten. Amelie’s Instagram now has up to 110,000 followers. Many people are leaving RIP comments since the rescue hasn’t been announced yet. Roy said they would be announcing it at 9 am tomorrow. He asked if Amelie could be there, but I don’t know if I’ll tell her. I also messaged Dr. Yvonne and asked if there was any way possible for her to make an after-hours call to the apartment. I explained the situation, hoping that she could make an exception. Finally, I contacted the bakery to ask if they could bring the cake testing to our penthouse as well. Then I finally went to sleep.Amelie’s POVI slept like a baby. I was so comfortable and so warm and toasty. Then I realized why. At some poin
Nathan’s POVIt was all over the media how Amelie had basically saved the day with the plane crash. I was so proud of her. My Amelie deserved to be recognized for her caring nature.The flight home to New York went smoothly. I kept a constant eye on all three ladies for any trauma reactions from flying again, but they were all occupied talking about the party tomorrow. Kimmy was saying how she had bought the perfect outfit for Amelie for the lingerie and PJ party. I was a little nervous as I knew Kimmy, and I honestly didn’t want any guys seeing anything they shouldn’t be seeing.Amelie had been texting back and forth between her and Zander throughout the entire flight. He was so worried about her. Zander had seen all the RIP messages on her Instagram and had freaked out. Luckily, Dante and Dutton were with him. They had told him she was safe as soon as I had texted them last night. He had tried to reach out to Amelie, but unfortunately, she had forgotten to turn her phone back on aft
Nathan’s POVThe girls had officially taken over my penthouse as their home base. I’ve been cast out to Dante’s place until the party. Right now, Dante, Dutton, and I are sitting in his living room, watching TV and drinking beer.“Any action in the bedroom yet?” Dante asked.“Nope, I told you. Evangelina will be mine,” I chuckled.“You still have a week to go. Don’t be so cocky, stock market,” Dante replied.“What’s happening with you and Morgan, Dutton?” I questioned.“I’m not sure,” Dutton stated. “I really like her, but it’s as if we’re both too shy to make a move.”“She is such a sweetheart,” I commented. “You fit together really well.”“I know. I think I’m going to kiss her tonight,” Dutton revealed.“Really? I’m so happy for you, man,” I replied. “Go for it!”“Twerkley, when are you going to let Kimmy know you’re still in love with her?” Dutton asked.“It’s complicated,” Dante stated. “I don’t want to screw it up.”“You won’t,” I said. “I think she still likes you. You just have
Nathan’s POVWell, at least Kimmy didn’t pick out something totally ridiculous—a pair of black silk PJs with the word' groom' on the back. I can handle these. The little bow tie was kind of silly, but not too bad. She had left strict instructions that I was supposed to leave the PJ shirt unbuttoned. She’s such a fashion diva. I laughed to myself.I walked out to the living room, and Dutton was sitting down with his feet on the coffee table. He was wearing a pair of navy blue silk PJs but had them buttoned up.Dante walked out of the kitchen, and of course, he was only wearing his PJ bottoms, bright red ones. He had on a bow tie and a pair of devil horns on his head.“Well, well, well, Mr. Groom,” Dante said, handing me a beer. “Are you ready for a party to remember?”“Or forget, depending on how much you end up drinking,” Dutton laughed.“True enough,” Dante chuckled, then took a swig of his beer. “The girls just texted that they are heading down.”“Did you give Lucas the guest list a
Nathan’s POVIn true Dante style, the party was already a success, having only just begun. He had hired pole dancers and had two additional poles delivered to the apartment. The dining room table had been moved to accommodate a makeshift dance floor, and there were a lot of scantily clad people bumping and grinding out there. The two extra poles flanked the dance floor. At the same time, the one in the middle of the cement coffee table was also being put to good use.Amelie, right now, is at my side and greeting all the people who come our way. Mostly, people we didn’t know, but she welcomed everyone and was gracious and poised.I wrapped my arm around her waist and hugged her close to my side. She looked up at me and smiled both with her mouth and her eyes. I will never get enough of her looking into my eyes. I can’t believe it's only one week from today that she will be my wife. If I have the choice, she will stay that way for the rest of our lives.When all the people had stopped f
Nathan’s POV“Hey, everyone,” a voice came over the speakers. It was Dante. “I’d like to thank everyone here for coming tonight. Of course, we are here tonight to celebrate one of my best friends, Nathan, and my future 2nd wife, Amelie, tying the knot next week.”A cheer went up from the crowd.“Now we need to see which one of them knows the other better,” Dante smiled. “Let’s get the happy couple over here.”Fuck Dante, what are you up to?Amelie and I headed to the dance floor.The waiter handed both of us a shotglass of clear liquor.“We’re going to ask each of them five questions, and if they match, they get a point. The one with the most points wins. The loser, well, they get to pole dance for the other,” Dante stated.Amelie turned beet red while the crowd went wild.“But first, if everyone can raise their glass in honor of the happy couple,” Dante said. “Nathan, you’re one of my best friends, basically like a brother to me. Amelie, when you finally get sick of the stock market,
Amelie’s POVI led Tiff to one of the bedrooms and shut the door.“What’s going on?” I asked.“What the heck am I doing?” Tiff said, putting her hands over her face.“What do you mean?” I questioned.“I just broke up with Peter, and I’m making out with Samuel,” she cried. “I’ve had a few drinks, but I don’t think I can use that as an excuse.”“Tiff, don’t cry.” I reached over and hugged her. “Shhhh, calm down.”“Samuel is such a nice guy, and honestly, I’m drawn to him,” Tiff explained. “I can’t explain it. It’s like this magnetic draw, but I shouldn’t have jumped into something so soon.”“I totally understand. I had that feeling with Nathan,” I continued. “It was like electricity between us.”“Yes, that’s exactly what it felt like!” Tiff stated. “It’s just I shouldn’t be jumping into anything three days after Peter dumped me.”“That’s really for you to decide. No one can put a timeline on grief and healing,” I hugged her tighter. “I will support you in whatever path you decide.”“I t
Amelie’s POVThe party continued until the early morning hours of Sunday. By that time, everyone was either highly inebriated or very drunk. I was even feeling a little tipsy myself. Nathan was drunk. I had never seen him like this. We were snuggled on the couch, sipping on our cocktails and chatting with a bunch of partygoers.“So Simon,” Nathan said. “You are in our marketing department.”“Yes, Dr. Michaels,” Simon replied. “I’m one of the managers in the department.”“Good on you, Simon,” Nathan continued. “I’m going to be giving you a new hire after Christmas.”I looked at Nathan, puzzled, “Who are you hiring, schmoopie?”“Tiff,” Nathan stated. “I wanted to give her a position to thank her for all that she’s done for you, kitten.”“Really?” I hugged him. “Baby, she’s going to be thrilled!”“You think so?” Nathan smiled.“Absolutely,” I grinned. “Thank you so much for doing this for her.”Samuel walked over from the kitchen, “What did I miss? Why is Amelie smiling like she’s the ca
Amelie’s POVI still feel like I’m dreaming. I’m in Hawaii with the man of my dreams. Please don’t wake me if I’m dreaming.“Can we go to the beach?” I asked Nathan.“Absolutely!” He replied.We got changed and headed down to the beach. Nathan rented a small cabana with two loungers.“I can’t wait to put my feet in the ocean,” I squealed.“Wait, have you never done that before?” Nathan asked.“No, never,” I answered.“I need to take a picture then,” Nathan said, grinning. He grabbed his phone and put it in a waterproof pouch. “Now, we can take pictures in the water.”We walked down to the water, and Nathan stood there with his camera ready.“This is so exciting!” I beamed. I walked into the water up to my knees. I swear I had the biggest grin on my face.“Amelie, the wate
Amelie’s POVI can’t believe I’m in Hawaii! I have dreamed about coming here since I was a little girl. My parents had their honeymoon here, and my dad would tell me stories of all the fun and exciting things they did. It didn’t matter how many times he told me the same story; I would listen intently and be amazed by it each time. My dad would always tell me the best part of Hawaii was the people. I couldn’t wait to meet people and share in the Aloha spirit.The drive to the hotel was relatively quick, although it could have been hours, and I wouldn’t mind. I stared wide-eyed out the window, taking in the landscape. I know it was mostly traffic and concrete on the highway, but it didn’t matter. The closer we got to the hotel, the more the landscape changed. Palm trees and a glimpse of the ocean had me mesmerized.“We’re here, Amelie,” Nathan announced.The door opened, and Nathan stepped out. He
Amelie’s POVI officially can’t walk. I’ve heard people in school joke about being fucked into oblivion, but I think I actually was on the receiving end of it. Nathan was so animalistic. He was a man possessed. It was like he had a disease, and I was the cure. Five rounds in two hours. How is that even possible? Don’t get me wrong, he didn’t hurt me; he just exhausted me, and I literally saw the stars he promised.I’m currently lying in bed with him wrapped around me, kissing my shoulder.“I will never, ever get enough of you, Amelie,” Nathan exclaimed. “Your presence, your body, your soul. It feeds me. I feel like I could conquer anything when you’re with me.”“I feel like I will never walk again,” I giggled.“I will carry you everywhere, then,” he said, hugging me tightly.“That’s good to know,” I said, smiling.“We shou
Nathan’s POVIt’s 7:00 am, and I’m sitting on the couch enjoying a cup of coffee. Amelie is passed right out in the bed. After some shower sex last night, I kept my promise of devouring her, and she hasn’t moved since. The box that Kimmy sent her sits on the coffee table, unopened. We noticed last night, after the “fireworks,” that Kimmy had also sent us champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries. We were so caught up in each other when we first entered the room that we didn’t notice them on the coffee table.Our flight isn’t until 11:00 a.m. this morning, but I got up to take care of a couple of things for the honeymoon. I want to make this the best experience of Amelie’s life. I want to give her everything.I’m staring out the window when I feel a warm set of arms wrap around me.“Good morning, hubby,” Amelie sighed.“Good morning, wifey,” I grinned. I thought y
Amelie’s POVI can’t believe we’re in California. I’ve always wanted to go. The limo took us straight to the amusement park. As soon as we arrived, we were greeted by a personal concierge that Nathan had hired to give us a VIP tour of the park, along with a photographer to accompany us.“But first,” Nathan said, grinning. “You need something special.”“What?” I asked.“These,” he stated, and handed me a bag.I opened it and squealed. “These are the Vera Wang wedding mouse ears!” I cried. I jumped up and hugged Nathan tightly.I had seen them in a magazine. I knew they were a hefty price.“And I guess I should put mine on,” Nathan smirked, pulling out the groom's ears, which were a baseball-style cap with ears and a bow tie.“Look at my handsome groom,” I said, smiling.“Look at my beautiful bride,&rd
Amelie’s POVI had the best sleep ever in our bed as a married couple. It makes me giddy just thinking that is the way it is now. I feel like I need to pinch myself to see if it’s real. Unfortunately, the alarm clock that rang bright and early due to our early flight time proved to me I wasn’t dreaming. In fact, it wasn’t even bright. It felt like the middle of the night because the sun wasn't up yet.Nathan’s arms weren’t around me when I woke up. The room was still dark. I got up and headed to the bathroom. He wasn’t in there either. He must have gotten up early to finish some work in the den, I thought to myself. I hopped in the shower and then got dressed in a sundress and some wedge sandals. The only clue Nathan had given me the night before was to dress for comfort and a warm destination. Hence, the sundress in New York, in the middle of winter.I quickly blow-dried my hair, brushed my teeth, and appl
Nathan’s POVI can’t believe I’m taking my wife home to our place. It seems so surreal. It’s been less than 24 hours since we declared our love for each other, and I already think we have an unbreakable bond. I know that sounds unbelievable, but I’m getting rid of the contract.We arrived home and took the elevator up to our floor. I punch in the code and then lift Amelie bridal style.“Welcome home, Mrs. Michaels,” I stated.“Nathan,” she giggled.“Another threshold. The start of our new life in our home,” I said with a grin.“Nathan, that’s a sweet thing to say,” Amelie said, smiling.“It’s the truth,” I said as I walked through the door.Amelie gasped. There were white lilies all over the penthouse.“Did you do this?” Amelie asked.“No, it wasn’t me,” I responded.I place Am
Nathan’s POVAmelie has been hugging her brother for ten minutes now.“You know I’m only going to be away for two weeks, right?” Amelie said, reminding her brother. “You can call me if you need anything at all. I mean anything.”“Ame, I’m not going to call you on your honeymoon,” Zander replied. “Grandfather will take good care of me.”Amelie looked over at Grandfather. “I know this is hard for you, Amelie,” Grandfather spoke.“I’ve never been away from him for more than a day,” Amelie said nervously.“I will take great care of him. I promise, Amelie,” Grandfather informed her. “Go have a great trip with your new husband.”“Okay,” Amelie sighed, then turned her attention to Biscuit, who was in Morgan’s arms. “Are you sure you’re ok taking Biscuit for a week?”“Yes, I w
Nathan’s POVI guess that blanket needs to go in the laundry. I had to use it to clean up Amelie after our “wine tasting” in the cellar. Amelie is driving me straight to sex addiction classes. Any time I’m alone with her, all I want to do is be inside her. To be as close to her as humanly possible.Now, I have to get through dinner with my family and friends before I get to take her home.“You need to stop attacking me in unusual places,” Amelie giggled.“I didn’t hear you protesting against it,” I chuckled.Amelie went to say something, then paused.“That’s what I thought, kitten,” I smirked.“You are annoying when you gloat,” Amelie teased.“I’ll gloat all over you, angel,” I laughed.“Baby!” Amelie squealed.I just laughed, picked her up, and twirled her around.“You make me so happy, A
