Amelie’s POVWe followed Desiree down to Nathan’s office. Wow. She had a whole display set up, even a mocked-up table setting. It’s absolutely beautiful.“So, first things first, Amelie,” Desiree said, “Nathan has advised me that money is not an issue. Basically, your every wish and want will be fulfilled.”I turned to Nathan, “Nathan, that isn’t necessary.”“Nothing but the best for my angel,” he stated as he grabbed my hand and kissed it.I grinned at him and had a seat at the table.“Oh, Nathan, I forgot to mention that Kimmy is now a bridesmaid,” I uttered, biting my lip.“She is, is she?” Nathan chuckled and pulled my lip out of my teeth. “I kind of thought she would be.”“You’re not mad?” I inquired.“Amelie, anything for you,” He spoke. “I want you to have the wedding of your dreams.”I reached over and stroked his cheek, and he smiled.“Ok, lovebirds, let's get this show on the road,” Desiree announced. “Amelie, what color were you thinking of for the wedding?”“The bridesmaid
Nathan’s POVWe set off, and I made sure Amelie had music to sing for the entire trip. I was just hoping she loved the surprise.As we reached our destination, I could tell Amelie was starting to get impatient. “Just a couple more minutes, Amelie.”“We are here,” I announced, “but leave your blindfold on.”“Nathan, what are you doing?” Amelie giggled.I helped Amelie out of the car and led her towards the door.Amelie’s POVI couldn’t see a thing. It was driving me crazy. In the car, I could still hear Nathan’s breathing even though the music was playing. There was something so erotic about hearing him breathe and feeling the heat of his body next to me when I couldn’t see him. I started to wonder if he had ever blindfolded a woman during sex, and it made me shift awkwardly in my seat. Then my mind went off the deep end, and I pictured him tying me to the headboard. I swallowed hard at the thought and squeezed my thighs together.Nathan’s car came to a stop, and he helped me out of th
Nathan’s POVI glance over at the alarm clock. Why am I up at 3:00 am on a Sunday? The answer is easy. Nineteen more days until Amelie and I say I do. I am so totally obsessed with her becoming my wife and staying my wife forever that I can’t sleep. I try to will myself to get up and head down to my office to work on some paperwork I’ve been neglecting, but it’s just not happening.I hear a soft knock on the door. I quickly get out of bed and make my way to the door. I open the door to see her standing there in her navy blue silk chemise nightgown. She looks breathtakingly beautiful, as always. “Amelie, what’s wrong?” I asked.“Nathan, can I come in?” She queried.“Of course, come in,” I motioned and stepped aside to let her in.“I had a nightmare,” Amelie stated, and she hugged herself. “Can I sleep in here with you?”“Aw, Amelie, of course, you can,” I said, leading her over to the bed and pulling back the sheets. She climbed in, and I tucked her in. “You need to get used to sleepin
Amelie’s POVNathan had left this morning before I had even woken up. Yesterday’s day in bed was just what I needed. The stress of Zander’s surgery, the apartment fiasco, and exams were starting to weigh on me. It was like Nathan could read me and provide me with exactly what I needed. We decided that since Trudy would be at the penthouse, I would move into Nathan’s room immediately. After studying for most of Monday, I headed off to visit Zander at the hospital. When I arrived home, all my clothes had been moved to the “hers” closet in Nathan’s room.I headed downstairs and was greeted by Trudy in the kitchen, “Ms. Cavanaugh, is there something I can get you?”“No, thank you, Trudy. Also, can you please call me Amelie?” I asked.“Of course, dear,” Trudy responded. “Desiree dropped off the proof of the invitations while you were at the hospital. They are absolutely stunning.” Trudy pointed towards the dining room table.I walked over and picked up the invitations. They were gorgeous,
Amelie’s POVI reach the car at the front of the building, and I’m shocked to see Marcus there. “Marcus? Why are you here?” I queried.“Here to pick you up,” he said with a smile.“I mean, aren’t you supposed to be with Nathan?” I asked.Marcus smiled and opened the back door, and Nathan’s big grin greeted me.“Nathan! You little sneak,” I snickered as I climbed into the back seat.“What? Is that how you greet your fiancée?” Nathan said, flashing his debonair smile.“Geesh… that darn Michaels smolder,” I shake my head. “If you could bottle it, you’d be a trillionaire.”“You’re a funny girl, Amelie,” Nathan stated.“It’s the truth. I swear Carrington could even woo me with his,” I laughed.“Grandfather has it stronger than me!” Nathan declared.“I wouldn’t doubt it,” I agreed. “So, who is the client we are meeting for dinner.”“Salvatore Aventini,” Nathan advised.“Like from the Aventini Mafia group?” I said, shocked.“Yes, that Salvatore Aventini,” Nathan replied. “Sometimes it's bet
Nathan’s POV“Well, I’ll have corporate draw up the transfer papers, Salvatore,” I advised. “Thank you for trusting us with more of your investments.”“How can I say no to a face like this?” Salvatore pointed at Amelie. “You better lockdown this doll.”“Already have her signed,” I answered.We shake hands and head for the car. Marcus is waiting with the door open. Once inside, I turn to Amelie.“Damn girl, what was that?” I asked.“Just using his vulnerability to my advantage,” Amelie states. “All men think with the dicks at some point. Even powerful mafia dons.”I laughed boisterously, “Amelie, you never cease to amaze me. What should we do now?”“Well, 500 million worth of new investments sounds like it's time for an ice cream celebration. What do you think?” She grinned.“Oh, you’ve earned your ice cream, that’s for sure,” I spoke. “In fact, let me buy you an ice cream company.”“Oh, Nathan, you’re so over the top,” Amelie laughed. “I just want a carton of that strawberry cheesecak
Nathan’s POVMadison sashayed her way into the apartment.“What do you want Madison?” I asked.“Nathan, where are your manners?” She stated. “Are you not going to offer me a drink?”I ran my hand through my hair, “Would you like a drink, Madison?”“I’ll have a glass of champagne if you have some, Nathan,” Madison said, smiling with her crimson-red lips.“I’ll be right back with that,” I said as I wandered into the kitchen. I grabbed a champagne glass from the cupboard and then grabbed the champagne bottle from the wine fridge. I smiled as I remembered that it was the bottle Amelie and I had shared to toast over our engagement. I popped the cork and poured a single glass of champagne. I wasn’t in the mood to share this champagne with anyone but Amelie.I walked out to the living room area, where Madison had made herself comfortable on the couch, lounging in a provocative position. I handed the champagne glass to her and stood with my arms crossed.“Aren’t you going to have a drink with
Nathan’s POVWe are in the ambulance en route to the hospital. Amelie is still unconscious, but the paramedics said that all her vitals are good. What is taking so damn long? The traffic is ridiculous right now. I swear it’s taking twice as long as usual. I hold Amelie’s hand.“Everything is going to be all right, angel,” I said, squeezing her hand.Once we arrive, they wheel her into the emergency room, and doctors are running about, trying to figure out what is going on. I’m left standing out in the emergency waiting room, pacing back and forth. I asked one of the nurses to check and see if Grandfather had been discharged from the hospital. They said Monday, potentially for his release.“Dr. Michaels,” the nurse walks over to me, “Carrington Michaels hasn’t been released yet. His doctor was called away on an emergency today, and your grandfather said he didn’t mind staying one more night."“Can you check with the VIP ward to see if he is still up? I don’t want to call and wake him i
Amelie’s POVI think I might not be able to walk by the time the honeymoon is over. Nathan is insatiable. Not that I’m complaining. He is an incredible lover. He always makes sure I’m taken care of before he finishes—such a true gentleman.After breakfast, we barely made it back to the room before we were stripping off our clothes again.“I’m sure Grandfather would understand us being a bit late,” Nathan laughed.Then, he proceeded to bend me over the bed and jackhammer me until I came so hard I saw stars and squirted all over the bed and carpet. I tried to wipe it up as much as I could.Nathan promised to leave a big tip with the apology note I wrote for the maid.“Amelie, you are so adorable. Only you would leave an apology note for that,” Nathan chuckled. “So fucking adorable.”We are now on our way in the limo to Grandfather’s mansion. Marcus is off today, so
Nathan’s POV“I love you, too, Nathan,” Amelie said breathlessly.“I’ll be right back,” I advised. “I’m going to go grab a condom.”“No,” Amelie replied.“No? I questioned.“I’m on the pill,” Amelie stated. “I have been since I was 14 years old to regulate my period.”“I can still wear a condom, though,” I said.“I don’t want you to,” Amelie expressed. “I want to feel you fully.”I smiled at her. “Amelie, you don’t understand what this means to me. You willing to give yourself fully to me means everything to me.”“I’m yours, Nathan,” Amelie said, reaching up to caress my cheek.I started kissing her again and ran my hands over her body.I reached between her legs just to make sure she was still wet enough. She was dripping wet for
Nathan’s POVIt’s Christmas morning, and I've received the best present I’ve ever had in my life. Amelie woke me up this morning wearing nothing but a big red bow tied around her chest and a G-string. Needless to say, I did some unwrapping and stuffed her stocking. Now, I’m currently taking a bubble bath with my wife sitting in front of me in the tub.“Are you sore?” I asked her.“Not too bad,” Amelie answered. “Just a little tender, mostly.”“I kind of took it easy on you last night since it was your first time,” I said. Amelie turned around and looked at me, and I smirked.“Oh really?” Amelie questioned. “Pray tell, what does not going easy look like?”“Patience, my little kitten,” I said with a grin. “You have the rest of your life to find that out.”Amelie let out the cutest little squeak.“I like th
Amelie’s POVIt feels like I’m dreaming. Nathan loves me. I’m on cloud nine.We are standing at the end of the bed kissing. It sounds strange, but the kisses feel different. They feel more powerful, full of emotion and passion.Nathan ran his hands down my sides and turned me around so my back was facing him. He slowly started unclasping my corset. I would be lying if I didn’t admit that I was nervous. He made quick work of the corset and dropped it to the floor. Then he hooked his fingers under the sides of my lace thong and pulled them down my legs.I stand, my back exposed to him. He lingered kisses down my back as I shivered with excitement. He stepped back.“Turn around, Amelie,” He purred. “I want to devour you with my eyes.”I turned around slowly. My body was on display for him.His gaze was fixated on me, and he licked his lips.“Perfection, my love,” He said. “I’ve waited so long for this. My body has ached for you.”He picked me up, moved to the side of the bed, and gently
Nathan’s POVAt the same time and with the same words, we spoke.“I need to tell you something.”We both look at each other. How weird is it to say the exact same thing at the exact same time?“Ladies first, Amelie,” I said.“Are you sure?” Amelie asked.“Yes, please. What do you have to tell me?”“Nathan, I’ve been trying to find the words to tell you something for weeks. “ I finally found the words, but then I lacked the courage,” Amelie said, turning to me. “Now I think I have both. I need to say it, regardless of the outcome, because I can no longer live with this secret. I can’t keep it secret for the next three years. I can’t let it consume my heart.”Amelie looked down at the ground and wrung her hands together. Her head bowed like a scared little kitten.“Amelie,” I said, lifting her chin and gazing into her eyes. “You know you can tell me anything, right?”“I know,” Amelie spoke. “It’s just hard to put into words.”I reach for a stray piece of hair on her face and tuck it beh
Nathan’s POVAfter the garter and bouquet toss, I excused myself to head to the washroom. Fuck. I swear, as I gripped the garter with my teeth, I could smell Amelie’s arousal through her lace panties. It drove me fucking primal. I have never wanted a woman as much as I want her. I’m praying she feels the same way when I tell her tonight.I came back to the reception and found my mother talking to Samuel. He looked really uncomfortable, so I started walking towards him, but before I could intervene, Tiff swooped in.“Sweetie,” Tiff said, grabbing Samuel’s arm. “Can we dance now?”Samuel looked at Tiff and smiled. “Vivian, do you mind if I leave you so I can dance with my girlfriend?”“Girlfriend?” My mother asked.“Yes, Tiff is my girlfriend,” Samuel grinned.“Oh, go ahead, you two,” Mother responded.Tiff dragged Samuel off to the dance floor.“Mother,” I stated as I walked up to her. “Are you having a good time?”“Yes, Nathaniel. It’s a lovely wedding,” she expressed.I glanced over
Nathan’s POVOf course, Zander had to be infatuated with the daughter of a Mafia Don. The only saving grace was that Isabella would be leaving for boarding school in England after the New Year. Now, however, is not the time to think about that. I want to concentrate on Amelie.“Oh my gosh!” Amelie exclaimed. “The cake is amazing!”Patricia was standing there and smiled widely at Amelie’s comment.“I’m so glad you like it, Amelie,” Patricia acknowledged.Amelie, of course, had to hug Patricia.“What layer is the chocolate?” I asked.“It’s the middle tier,” Patricia responded. “I thought that would be the tier you would want to cut since it’s your mom’s recipe.”“Oh, Patricia, that’s so incredibly thoughtful of you,” Amelie expressed.“Now the big question is, smush or no smush?” I laughed.“Well, I would say no smush for Amelie. We don’t want to get any on her dress,” Patricia said. “Maybe a little smush for you, Nathan. Then Amelie can kiss it off?”“That works for me,” Amelie giggled
Amelie’s POVI couldn’t believe Carrington had done that for me. My dream of giving back to the community was coming true.I returned to my seat, and I was literally shaking from emotion. Nathan knew just what to do. He hugged me tight.“I know this is overwhelming,” he said. “Just center yourself and let the emotions out.”Nathan always knew what to say to make me feel better. I clung to him, and he held me as if he would never let me go.“Feeling a bit more level?” Nathan asked.“Yes, thank you. It’s just so much,” I replied.“I know. Grandfather can be over the top sometimes,” Nathan stated.“Oh, really? I know a certain someone who seemed to pick up that Michaels trait as well,” I giggled.“Guilty as charged,” Nathan chuckled. “Are you ready to make a brief statement to our guests as a couple? I’ll do all the talking if you’d like.”“Yes, my hubby,” I advised.“Ok, my wifey,” Nathan responded.We walked up to the podium.“Hi, Everyone, my wife,” Nathan paused and smiled at me, “an
Amelie’s POVNathan and I are currently just outside the doors of the ballroom, waiting to be announced.“How are you feeling, kitten?” Nathan asked.“Excited,” I replied.“Me too,” Nathan said, raising my hand and kissing the back of it.The announcement blasts out. “Friends and Family, please welcome the newest members of wedded bliss, Nathan and Amelie Michaels!”“It’s go time!” Desiree advised.The door opens, and we walk in hand in hand to the cheers and applause of our guests. I took a quick look around as Desiree finished the finishing touches. The room looks spectacular, and the lighting gives off an icy blue hue. My glance is brief, though, as the only thing I want to look at right now is Nathan. He is smiling the biggest grin I’ve ever seen. He’s also staring at me.We make our way to the middle of the dance floor. The dance floor looks like ice. It’s raised plexiglass with blue underlighting.Nathan twirls me out and then pulls me in close. "At Last" by Etta James starts u
