The door opens and I gasp as all our loved ones enter the room, each holding a bouquet of flowers. They head to the back of the classroom, my mom and Judy clutching their hearts when they see the students dancing in sync with each other. Jayden shakes Jacks hand and hugs a few people. Then the kids line up single file in front of me right in the center of the classroom.
They start to fan out left, then right, keeping up with the pattern until the love of my life’s standing there in front of me with a sexy smirk on his face. He has a single flower in his hand, a lily, my favorite. He slowly makes his way across the room and presents the flower to me. I take it and almost pass out when he drops to one knee, a slightly nervous expression hitting his face. But only for a second.
The music stops and so does my heart as I wait for him to speak.
“Sunshine, this past year has been the best of my life. Sure, we’ve had our ups and downs, but the ups have blown the downs way out of the water. I told you the day I first laid eyes on you I was knocked on my ass. Sorry!” He yells to the kids. “Well the truth is my heart was stolen that day.”
“Mr. Cage, my dad’s a cop. He can find the robbers and get it back.”
I laugh. “Thanks Kenny, but I don’t want to find my heart. It’s right where it belongs.” He looks me in the eyes. “It’s with you.” A few stray tears fall down my face and he gently wipes them away.
“Jayden…”
“Let me finish.” I nod my head encouraging him to continue. “It took a while to get where we are, but this is where we’re meant to be. You’re meant to be my wife and the mother of my children. You’re perfect for me in every possible way, including…” He looks deep in thought for a moment. “Eating at the buffet.” My cheeks flame and I hope nobody heard or understands what he just said. A few chuckles from the back of the room makes my cheeks heat.
“There was never a question in my mind that we’d end up here. Loving you wasn’t a decision, it was inevitable. I couldn’t have stopped myself from falling in love with you if I tried. So, as I ask you, in front of all our family and my students, Georgie Francis McNamara, will you marry me already?”
His hand reaches into his pocket. When his hand comes in front of me he holds a gorgeous ring that makes me cry even harder. I’m so in awe of it. I’m taken from my obsessing when Jayden clears his throat.
“Answer me woman, you’re killing me here.” He chuckles.
“Of course I’ll marry you.”
He’s on his feet in an instant sliding the ring on my finger and pulling me in for a hug. When we pull back we stare at each other with big dopey grins on our faces. I wrap my hand around the back of his head and pull him to me, lips smashing together. His tongue slides into my mouth and I suck on his bottom lip.
“I cannot wait to get you home later”
“It won’t be soon enough fiancé.”
Our families rush up to give us hugs and congratulate us. Jayden pulls a sobbing Judy into a tight embrace; their relationship is so amazing to me. I can only hope to have one exactly like it with my children.
“I’m so proud of you Jay.” I hear her say and I lose it all over again.
Later that day, we’re at home in bed naked after making love. He apparently had this whole elaborate proposal planned for a while and took the rest of the day off. We’ve been going at it for hours unable to get enough of each other. I still can’t believe I have a fiancé. My hand’s in front of my face and I’m staring at my gorgeous ring. It’s perfect, I can’t believe he picked out a ring that’s just so us.
“Are you happy?”
He surprises me with the question. Shouldn’t he know I’m happier than I’ve ever been in my whole life?
“Do you really have to ask?” I roll over and prop myself up on my elbows looking up at him.
He looks like a Greek god. His body is perfection and calling out to me. Leaning my head down I bite his thigh through the sheet currently covering him from the waist down.
“That’s how it’s going to be huh?”
Jayden flips us and hovers over me as I take in his muscular chest. Lifting my head and sucking one of his nipples in my mouth has him hardening against my stomach. Jayden groans when I reach down and fist his cock in my hands.
“I’ve never told you what I thought when we first met.”
“You said you didn’t know I was there.” He laughs.
“I lied.” My hand continues to pump his length. “I was drawn to you, you were gorgeous sure, but it was something else and I couldn’t explain it at the time. Now I know it was fate stepping in. When I was watching you run around hanging up decorations for your brother’s surprise party, I was in awe of you. The way you moved, your smile, your charm. I noticed it all and couldn’t get enough. How I was feeling about a complete stranger freaked me out. My gut was telling me to talk to you, but I had just left my old life behind and I wasn’t ready for that yet. Add in my inexperience and that was the perfect cocktail for me to push you away. I’m so grateful you didn’t give up on me.”
“I had no choice baby. Like you said… it was fate.”
Then he slides inside me and a moan releases from my mouth. As he makes love to me again I decide this is exactly where I’m supposed to be. Looking him in the eye, I try to show him with every movement of my hips and every whimper of his name just how much he means to me.
“I love you Jayden Cage.”
“I love you too, baby.”
CHAPTER 29
Georgie
Ash is in the corner talking to mom. Hopefully everything’s going okay. They’ve been slowly trying to repair their relationship since the first time they got together. I see no signs of tears so it’s definitely a step in the right direction.
My heart broke when I heard the hurt in Ashlyn’s voice when she talked to her. Telling her how she felt growing up without a mother. Her whole life she thought her parents gave her up due to drugs. Then she was kidnapped by Gwen, one of our father’s wives, and brought to the compound. I don’t blame her for being skeptical.
Our family is slowly repairing itself as each day passes. Mom’s found a job in town and her and Judy have become fast friends. I love that our families get along.
Once the last guest leaves the bar, I laugh at Jayden’s reaction. I’m glad this will be a pleasant surprise for him. And pleasant is an understatement.
“Who the fuck makes the guests of honor clean up their own party?” Jay grumbles as he surveys the damage.
I laugh to myself over his reaction. This morning I asked if I could have some private time with Jay after the party. The engagement party he planned before we even got engaged. Is he perfect or what? And cocky too.
After flipping the lock on the front door, I saunter over to the bar where Jayden is seated. This is the perfect engagement present to him. It doesn’t fulfill all the requirements, but I hope it’s enough. As I step behind the bar I pour a horrible glass of beer, half foam, and slide it in front of him. He looks up with humor all over his face.
“You ordered a beer, right sir?”
“I believe I did Miss. Thank you.” He takes a swig and when he puts the glass down laughter erupts from my mouth when I see foam all over his face.
“I’ll be over here taking care of a few customers.” I place my hand over his on the bar. “Let me know if you need anything.” His eyes light up with mischief.
With my back to him, my hands fumble with some booze bottles before making my way back over to the other side of the bar. He’s good. I don’t see him anywhere. As I’m making another round warmth creeps up my leg as his hand starts massaging my inner thigh. Just like in his fantasy. I can feel myself getting wet already.
My eyes travel the room as I try to push my anxiousness aside. Anyone can make out my form from the street even though the lights are dim. This is what I was comfortable with for now. Doing this in a full bar was not an option, just the thought gave me hives.
A moan slips between my lips when Jayd
en slips his fingers inside my panties. I’m wearing a dress so he doesn’t have to worry about restrictions.
“Place your hands on the bar and look at the front door.” Without hesitation, I do as I’m told and jump when a person walks by.
“Relax.” He commands.
The fabric of my lace thong slips down my legs and then I’m stepping out of it. Jayden’s tongue starts working its way up my inner thigh before he plants a kiss on the most sensitive part. He disappears for a moment then I’m being pushed over the bar top as he licks me from behind.
“Oh god.”
“No baby, your fiancé.” He growls before diving back in.
The sensation of him eagerly lapping me up and looking from window to window has me so close already. Feeling his single finger probing my ass sets me off.
“Ahhhhhh.” I yell as I double over on the bar top and ride out my orgasm as he expertly slays me with his tongue.
“Fuck gorgeous, that was better than my fantasy.” He kisses his way up my spine before I feel him press himself against my backside.
“Seriously. That was awesome.” I’m still a bit breathless and shaky. When I go to pull my dress down Jayden halts me.
“We’re not done yet.” Is growled into my ear as I hear his belt unbuckling and his pants dropping to the floor. His cock probes my ass as I once again look from window to window, sure someone’s peeping in on us.
All thoughts leave my mind as he pushes inside of me in one motion. We both groan in sheer ecstasy. Jayden grips my jaw and turns my head so he can kiss me while he begins thrusting. His tongue moves in sync with his hips making my arousal burst through the roof.
He picks up his pace, starts pounding me from behind and I yell out his name. His hands find my breasts as he starts massaging them. Plucking at my already pebbled nipples spurs on the start of my orgasm.
“I’m gonna come!”
“Fuck yes you are.” His fingers slink down and work my clit. Spots are about to cloud my vision when I see it. A shadow behind one of the windows off to the side. I’m not sure how long they’ve been there and it’s on the tip of my tongue to yell at them to go away, but I don’t. My mind is telling me to duck and hide but I can’t. I stare at their form until my orgasm blasts through me and I call out Jayden’s name over and over.
“Holy shit, yes squeeze my cock. Grind that tight pussy on me baby.” My hands work their way back to either side of his ass pulling him harder and harder to me.
“Fuck me harder!” I scream.
“Oh, fuck Georgie. Oh fuck…” His movements become frenzied as he releases inside me. Once, twice, three more times.
“Did you see her?” He whispers before licking the shell of my ear.
I nod my head unable to speak. Adrenaline is pumping through my body making me feel invincible. Like I can do anything.
“Let’s clean you up and get out of here. There’s some things I’d like to do to my fiancé without eyes watching.”
I can’t freaking wait!
CHAPTER 30
Jayden
(Six months later)
It’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. I’m talking about my bride, walking down the beach towards me in a beautiful white dress. I haven’t seen her since last night and I want to run up to her and pull her into my arms. Fuck it!
I step away from my brothers and the JP with one mission on my mind. Holding my girl. Everyone laughs when I stop in front of Georgie, lift the veil from her face and crash my mouth to hers. She’s just as eager as I am letting me know she missed me too. When I pull back, I give her one last sweet smooch on the lips and resume my spot. I laugh when I realize she hasn’t moved from where I left her.
She slightly shakes her head, smiles and brings her fingers to her lips. She’s remembering our kiss and its driving me wild. Damn, I can’t get a boner standing in front of everyone. I’ll never live it down. I take a couple soothing breaths and calm my dick down before looking back towards Georgie. She continues her journey down the aisle towards me and when she reaches me, I hold her hands as she stands across from me.
“Can’t say that’s ever happened before.” The Justice of the Peace states causing everyone to laugh. I just shrug my shoulders not feeling one ounce of remorse. I’ll never be ashamed of kissing Georgie.
As we go through our vows and I stare at my beautiful bride, I’m over taken by emotions. Especially when she recites her vows. I can’t believe she’s telling me how lucky she is to have found me when I’m the lucky one. I thank god everyday Georgie was brought into my life. She saved me from a life of loneliness I thought I was content with.
As I go through my vows and promise to always love her and give her good loving, I have to stop and wipe a few stray tears from her face. The love I’m feeling is overwhelming and I think to myself there’s no way it could possibly change. How much I love her today will be how much I love her when we’re 80, if not more.
We exchange rings and before I know it, we’re making out in front of our families as I bend and grab her ass. There are hoots and hollers causing me to reach my hand in the sky for an enthusiastic fist pump. I really am the luckiest man in the world.
This is my life and I’m ready for it. As long as I have my woman by my side and the sweet baby growing in her belly, I’ll be the happiest bastard around. That’s right, in just three short months we’ll be welcoming our baby boy into the world.
I hope he’s just like me with a bit of his mama’s good looks. But whatever comes our way, I have my Sunshine and she’ll always have her fighter.
EPILOGUE
Sophie
“Gabriel, listen to mamma and get your cute little booty over here right now.”
“I don’t wanna.” He wines as most four-year old’s do.
“Nana’s expecting us soon, we have to get going. Come put your pants on sweetie.”
Finally, he complies and walks at the worlds slowest pace towards me. After he’s dressed and wiped free of the juice mustache on his lips, we head for my car. My eyes roam around the yard of our new house. It’s not what some people would describe as much, but it’s ours. Me and my sons. I worked damn hard to get where I am right now and I’m proud of our little house.
When my mom called me a few months back talking about a gorgeous Victorian style house she bought I knew what was coming. She asked us to move back and help her turn it into a B & B. I graduated from college with a degree in business management so it made sense to give it a go. I had a great job living back home in Texas again and was able to save up enough for a down payment on our little dream home. Everything fell into place easily like it was meant to be.
“Let’s go sweet boy.”
“Mama, do we have to go see Nana today? She smells funny.” I buckle him in the back seat of my car and smile.
“She doesn’t smell funny, that’s just how old people smell sweetie.”
“I’m never getting old.” He mumbles making me laugh.
We pull into the parking lot of the local grocery store. It’s weird being here again. I didn’t live here long, but it felt like home. After transferring colleges my Sophomore year, I haven’t been back. My plan was to never step foot here again, but sometimes life throws a curve ball your way.
Gabe starts singing the song on the radio. “Do you want to stop and pick up a snack to bring bud?”
“Chocolate cake!” He bounces in his booster seat.
“I don’t know kiddo; didn’t you say you hated chocolate?” His face falls and it takes everything to try and keep a straight face.
“No mama! I love chocolate, it’s my favorite!”
“Oh, well if it’s your favorite I supposed we can get some.” I laugh.
We exit my 02’ Ford Focus and walk hand in hand to the store. It’s a wonder this thing’s still kicking it after our long road trip from Texas to Massachusetts. A drive I will never be repeating in my life.
I reach down and hoist him in the air under his arm pits and
sit him in a carriage. After buckling him, we go on the hunt for some chocolate cake. As we get to the bakery section Gabe freaks over this giant triple chocolate cake covered with strawberry’s. Where he loves chocolate, he’d happily offer me up as tribute for a bowl of strawberries.
After placing it in the carriage I decide to grab a few muffins for the week. Blueberry for me and surprise, chocolate chip for my boy.
I grab a few more things before heading to the checkout line. While waiting I try to keep my eyes off the gossip magazines and fail miserably like I usually do. There he is in all his glory. Kyle “The Killer” Cage drunk off his ass exiting some night club with his flavor of the week on his arm and her hand in his pants.
“What a pig.”
“Hey now, don’t go knocking my baby bro.” I know that voice and cringe as I turn around to face him.
“Soph?”
“In the flesh J baby.”
“No way! How have you been, it’s… it’s been a long ass time.” He pulls me into a brief hug.
“It has. I’ve been good, great even. Just moved back into town to help mom with the new venture.”
“Josh said something about your mom contacting him for some reno work. That’s awesome! Glad to have you back.”
“It’s not like I was here that long. I moved up when you guys did.” I laugh, then remember Gabe. Shit!
“You know what I mean. You’ve always been with us.” He peaks over my shoulder. “Who do we have here?”
“My son.” I don’t move. He can’t see him, I’ve dreaded this moment since I moved back.
Jay looks around me and starts talking to him. It’s not until Gabe actually looks up at him that Jay’s eyes bulge out and he looks at me with extreme confusion on his face.
“So, how old is he Soph?”
“He turns five in a few months.” I shouldn’t be worried, he doesn’t know anything.
