Three Wishes

His arm tightened around her waist as he used the remote to turn off the television. “It means this is for keeps. I’ve already talked to our parents. They’re already making plans for our wedding on New Year’s Eve. That would be your third wish, right? To find a man to love you, desire you above all others, and want to sex you into a coma every night, all by the new year?”
Grabbing her hand, he slid something on it. Her body registered the motion, but she was almost too tired to truly believe it was what she thought. “Like I said, I want to make all your wishes come true. Now, go to bed. Tomorrow, you have to go pick out your wedding dress.”
“Okay,” her sleep-filled voice whispered as she drifted off to sleep. But somewhere in her mind, his words registered. Her eyes opened. Her brain woke up. Shifting her body, she reached over to turn on the lamp closest to her. The large diamond resting on her left hand stared back at her. She then looked down at the sexy as sin man lying next to her, a grin covering his face. “What the hell?”
Removing the sheet from his body, he lifted from lying down, coming to kneel over her own naked form. “I thought you might have that reaction. So, loving boyfriend and future husband that I am, I’m prepared to convince you that marrying me is the best decision you can make. If it takes all night long, I’m prepared to do what’s needed to help you make the right decision.” Grabbing her leg, he placed it over his shoulder. “Let’s discuss all the benefits of becoming Mrs. Jordan Hunt. First off, I have amazing stamina…” he smiled down at her wickedly as he pressed his thick cock against her pussy.
“Oh damn. Yeah, I think a little more convincing would be a good thing,” she whimpered.
“I thought you might say that.”

December 31st, New Year’s Eve
“Do you, Jordan Nathaniel Hunt, take this woman to be your bride? To love, honor and cherish her for all the rest of your days?”
Not taking his eyes from Leticia’s face, his strong voice carried out into the crowd, “I do.”
“And do you, Leticia Marie James, take this man to be your husband? To love, honor and cherish him for all the rest of your days?”
Leticia smiled at Jordan. The moment she’d never thought would be a reality was finally here. Their whirlwind love affair was nothing like she expected and everything she needed. The love she felt for him was a living thing. It traveled through her, setting her nerve-endings on fire wherever he touched. God, she loved this man. Tears gathered at the corner of her eyes as she looked at her future standing in front of her.
A range of emotions passed over Jordan’s face as he stared into her eyes. His thumbs came up to brush away the tears falling down her face. “Baby, it doesn’t count if you don’t respond.” Titters of laughter rumbled throughout the crowd.
Laughter bubbled up from her as she realized she’d stood here for two minutes having an internal dialogue with herself at her own damn wedding. The reverend cleared his throat. She looked over at him with a sheepish glance, “Sorry, Pastor.”
“That’s all right, young lady. I see the way you look at your young man. I know I’ll get the answer everyone’s waiting to hear,” he smiled at her while motioning with his eyes to Jordan.
“Leticia. Sweetheart…don’t make me throw you over my shoulder—.”
“I do! I take Jordan Nathaniel Hunt as my husband. My best friend. My granter of wishes. I love you with all my heart, and then some,” she purred. The guests, on the other hand, burst into laughter at her impromptu words.
The look he gave her promised retribution. The good kind, though. “What am I going to do with you?”
“Love me. That’s all I’ve ever wanted.”
“Oh, baby, you’ve got that in spades. I love you more than I ever thought possible. Now let’s finish this ceremony. I have plans for you tonight.” His eyes darkened, and her breathing quickened in response.
Turning to the Reverend, she motioned with her hand. “Okay, Pastor, let’s get this show on the road. We have a party to attend.” Smiling at her soon-to-be husband, her heart was filled with joy at the man standing by her side.
Who knew a Christmas wish list would be the start of a beautiful love affair?
