I rubbed my cheek against his chest and breathed his scent. "I am sorry," I said and squeezed my cheek in closer to him. "When did you want to get married?" While asking, I tried to sound joking and serious as the same time.
"Whenever you want to," he squeezed me in closer to him and ran his hand through my hair. "Do you want to naked hot tub and we can talk about it?"
"Yes!"
*
"Hey, you!" Vincent called out as he held two glasses of champagne and flaunted his naked and sexy body. Yum. He looked like a sex god, and I wanted to lick his body from top to bottom.
I sat in the hot tub, naked like we agreed upon. There is no amount of words that can express how happy I am that Vincent proposed to me. I kept looking down at my ring and smiling at it. He was so sweet to me, he kept fingering it and kissing it as we said bye to all of his friends.
He climbed in to the tub and all I could look at was his dick. It wasn't my fault. His dick was semi hard and when it flinched, I couldn't help but be distracted by it. "So, Savannah. What are you out here thinking about?"
We took Cherub upstairs and made him a bed by my side of the bed. Vincent already bought a dog bed and a dog home for inside and outside, which is nice. I like the dog house because its in camouflage, it kind of seems like a secret place for him. Cherub is already a spoiled dog.
"A bunch of things." He probably should have known that I was staring at his dick, especially when he sat next to me.
"Were you surprised?" He handed me a flute and I knew he was referring to my ring.
"Its beautiful. Thank you," I crawled underneath his arm and draped my legs over his. "Um... What happened to the canary?" I didn't want him to think that I hated it. I really did love it.
"It has been in your car since Chicago. It has always been yours, love. So..."
I knew he wanted to discuss our wedding date. Maybe I should cut him a break and bring it up first.
"So, when did you want to get married?" I asked carefully as I scooched my body closer to his.
He wrapped his arm around my waist and floated me closer to him. "I know you want a summer wedding, so I guess we wait until summer."
My heart dropped. That is so far away. "There are places that are summer like all year round. I don't want to wait all of that time," I looped my arms around his neck and trace my fingers up and down it.
We were a tangle of limps and I loved it. "So, when would be a good time?" Vincent leaned into my touch. "I am game for whenever."
Damn. I want to get married to him soon. There is no way I can wait that long. Fuck. I hate that I am so needy about this.
"Do you have a passport?" I asked as I placed my ass on his lap and wiggled.
"Yes, what are you thinking about?" Vincent tickled the inside of my thigh. "Are you wanting to go to Mexico? I remember you said that you wanted to go." I loved that he wrapped me into his arms as he talked about it.
"Yes! That is what I am wanting to do. Is that something you want?" I looked into his eyes and rubbed my fingers along his jaw line.
"Yes, that sounds like a good idea. There is a resort in Real Playa del Carmen that would be nice for the wedding. When are you wanting to go?" His accent was so thick that I just laid my head on his shoulder and let his words run over me.
"Is the resort busy around this time of year?" Damn it, Vincent! Just tell me when you want to go!
"I can call them tomorrow to see when they have some vacancies. Are you wanting to invite the girls?"
"Yes, I also think we should invite your mom and sister."
"Okay, sounds good. Baby doll," I looked up and watched his eyes as they changed, "I love you. You are simply magnificent."

We didn't have sex that night, however he did hold me the whole night. When I woke up in the morning he was laying on his back with me tucked under his arm. My legs were wrapped around his and my head was resting on his chest. When I opened my eyes, he was on his phone.
"Hi, lover," I whispered as I snuggled closer to him.
"They have vacancies through out October. What day works you?"
"I am thinking the middle of the month. Can we stay the week? Also, we can use the money I was left! I know that my parents left me the money for when I married you."
He squeezed me closer to him and brushed my hair out of my face. "Its all set. Don't worry about the money. You just worry about being there."
I traced my fingers down his stomach and I felt his skin tighten. With us still being covered in the blankets, I kept my fingers under the blankets. Vincent adjusted himself so that I was underneath him.
I love feeling his weight on me. "I am going to love waking up to you every day," I said with a smile on my face as he placed kisses all over my face. Luckily, we were both naked so I was able to feel his boner flexing on my thigh.
His kisses trailed down my neck and my rib cage. The tongue followed and circled my nipples. I moaned as his index finger dipped inside me and hooked it self against my g spot.
"Baby doll, you taste so good," his tongue followed to my belly button and then traveled up. "I know, I am going to love waking up to you every day... Especially with you naked," with that he with drew his finger and walked himself up my squirming core.
"Mm, Vincent," I moaned as I bucked my hips at him. His hands grabbed my hips as I bucked them and squeezed them. With a quick move, he inserted himself into me. "Oh, fuck, Vincent!" He plunged himself so deep into me that I felt as if our lower halves were one. I wiggled my hips and tried to raise my legs to his shoulders.
"Mm, baby. Stop moving," he hissed into my ear as he chewed on my neck and gripped my hips tighter. The velocity of his thrusts picked up and I clinched my sex around him. "Promise me we will sleep naked. Tell me what you want."
I never know how to answer that question. What am I supposed to say? I want to get off, so come on? Instead of being my typical smart ass self, I thought about what I really wanted. "I want you to go harder but slower. You feel amazing." Vincent followed my request and then dropped his hands to wrap around my thighs as he drives himself into me. I felt my climax creeping up and I knew it was almost here. "Touch my clit, oh please! Touch it!"
Vincent dropped his left hand from my thigh to the top in order to touch me. With a quick flinch of his finger, I felt the explosion. My body bucked against me and slammed into his finger and dick as I climaxed.
"Oh fuck! Vincent..." I was still riding my wave as he gained speed. With his chin in my neck, I could feel his breathing quicken. Vincent moved his finger away from my clit and he growled as he bit my neck. "What?" I whispered as I dragged my nails down his back.
"Damn it!" He howled in my neck as he emptied himself into me. With a quick drop of his body, he wrapped his arms behind my back and fell on top of me. "I can't tell you how happy I am that you agreed."
"I can't tell you how happy I am you asked," I looked down at my ring and smiled. "Tell me."
"You are the sun," he withdrew his dick from my sex, and pulled himself off of me. However, he did hold me as I curled myself around him and shut my eyes.
"I love you, Vincent. I can't wait to be your wife," I whispered in his chest and fell back asleep.
Chapter Twenty-Eight
On Saturday, the girls and I went out to dinner to discuss wedding planning and other girly stuff. This night was a big night for me. I was about to discuss with my friends my plans that I have for my money that I was left.
"Ladies! I want to discuss something with you," I said.
"Okay, shoot!" Bethany replied while taking a drink of her beer. Tonight we decided on drinking beer and eating pizza.
"Yeah!" Anne, Valerie and Annabeth shouted.
"I have been thinking about what to do with the money that I was left," I started while taking a bite of pizza. "Do you think it would be a good idea for me to go out on my own instead of being affiliated with this company?" I had to flirt with the line since I didn't want to make anyone angry. The company
was owned by the Lucky Family.
"I think that would be a great idea. Where were you thinking about to hold your store?" Valerie asked me as she swallowed the rest of her beer and raised her empty to get another one.
"I am really not sure. Hell, I don't even know if I have a partner," I was directing my statement to Anne. There was no way that I could do this without her, we have been together since the start.
Anne swallowed her water and almost choked on it because of her excitement. She clapped her hands and then danced in her seat. I knew she was in! "Yes, you do! I want to be co owner though. Everything we do we do together," Anne exclaimed as she picked the cheese off of her pizza. We all laughed as she picked up the stringy cheese to eat it.
"Hello, everyone!" Someone said into the microphone on the stage. We all turned and I am now faced with Keith. Oh, shit. I know he is going to ask me to go up there. "My name is Keith, and I would like to sing a little song with my ex sister-in-law! Savannah! Get your sexy ass up here!"
During my marriage to Joel, Keith would come over a lot so I wouldn't be alone all of the time. One day that he came over, I was singing to myself in the kitchen while Joel was at work and I was washing dishes. Keith came into the kitchen and sat on a chair with his guitar. We had sang together for about an hour, and we sang my favorite song; Collide. I didn't tell too many people about this since I was getting closer to my brother-in-law and I didn't want to get Keith in trouble with Joel. There wasn't any way to make it seem as if we didn't have something on the side, so no one knew that I could sing. Well, I did try my hardest to sing that is.
I glared at him as my cheeks caught on fire. "No!"
"Come on! You can do it. If you could be married to my brother, you can sing with me!"
Annabeth pulled me out of my chair and pushed me towards the stage. I hissed at her as I got onto the stage.
Annabeth is going down. That's it! We are fighting and that's final!
"Come on, you know you loved singing with me!" Keith started to play his guitar and I knew which song he was going to sing. Collide, by Howie Day started to sound. He started the song out.
The dawn is breaking
A light is shining through
You're barely waking
And I'm tangled up in you
Yeah,
I sang the next verse as I sat down on the bar stool next to Keith:
I'm open, you're closed
Where I follow, you'll go
I worry I won't see your face
Light up again,
We sang the chorus together:
Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find
You and I collide
When Keith set down his guitar, I put the microphone back on the stand and we embraced. During our hug, I had a brigade of memories come flooding through my mind. Keith was the one that kept me together when I found out that Joel was cheating. He and Jimmy helped me out a lot.
"Thank you, you still have a beautiful voice!" Keith said in his microphone.
I blushed and ran off the stage. People were clapping around us but I kept my head down and focused on getting back to my beer. In my seat was a surprise.
"I didn't know you could sing like that," Vincent said as he pushed out his chair for me to sit on his lap. I sat down sideways and looped an arm around his neck. "Absolutely beautiful."
"Thanks, how did you know where we were?" I asked him as I kissed his cheek.
"Oh, honey. I always know where to find you," he tickled my side. "I like that song. I never knew that you could sing especially with him."
Shit. He is jealous. "It really was nothing. Just a song. How are you today?" I tried to lighten the mood.
"Hey, Vans. Can I speak to you for a minute?" Keith appeared in front of the table. It was extremely awkward because everyone was there. Sammy, Johnny and Vinny glared at him and Vincent flexed his hold around my waist.
"Its really not a good time," I said with as much confidence as possible. The last thing I needed was to see a pissing contest on who is bigger and badder.
Keith looked so nervous and anxious while he spoke that I felt bad. Whatever he has to say is going to make me upset. I just know it. "Please, just for a minute. I need to talk to you about the letter."
My head snapped up and I stood up out of Vincent's hold. "Okay, just for a minute." I kissed Vincent and followed Keith to the plush section. "What did you want to talk about?" I sat down on the other side of the couch in order to still be visible for Vincent. His eyes were looking pretty crazy. What am I going to do?
"I knew he had the letter..." I started to glare at him and he raised his hand to stop me from opening my mouth and swallowing him. "Listen to me before you freak out. I was the one that received the letter from the lawyer that day. After Joel seen it he asked me what I thought he should do. I am so sorry."
I closed my eyes and counted to ten before I ripped his head off. "Are you fucking with me?" So much for calming myself, I was now screaming. "You weren't supposed to be a dick! Keith! You were supposed to be my friend and brother! I trusted you!" I'm screaming so loud that people were looking over at us. "You, Keith," I pointed my finger in his face, "turned out to be such a disappointment and a let down! I never expected this from you."
"Hey, Vans... What's wrong?" Anne appeared in the doorway and I gestured for her to sit down next to me.
When she sat, I let everything come out. "He knew about the letter. My parents' estate attorney dropped it off and gave him it the day of the wedding. Because of you, Keith, I didn't get the closure that I needed! You ruined everything." My voice, raised so loud that a bouncer came and stood by the door. I glared at him and I might even have flashed my teeth at him. He probably wanted to know who I was and after seeing who I am, he just stood there.
"Keith, please tell me that this isn't true?" Anne asked as she rubbed my arm that was flinching from anger.
"I didn't want her to get sad on her wedding day! Vans, I have wanted to tell you forever. If it means anything, I am the one that told my parents where it was."
Now, I was mad. "You knew where it was?" I stood up from the couch and looked directly into his eyes. These eyes didn't mean the same to me. Now, every tine I think of Keith I will imagine him with dead eyes. "After how many times you came over to my place... after how many times I mourned for my parents... after everything we did... You kept a secret like this from me." I wasn't screaming anymore. There wasn't much of a fight left in me. All of my fight has left me after finding this letter, or receiving it. I finally got the closure that I needed.
"Savannah, Anne, we are leaving. Is everything all right?" Annabeth, Vinny, Sammy, Valerie, Bethany and Johnny stood at the door. I nodded.
"Tomorrow? Movie night?" Annabeth asked as she left.
"I want to leave." I stood up and glanced one more time at Keith. "Thank you for being finally honest," I turned out of the room and listened for Anne. "Do you want to have a sleep over?"
She giggled and did a little dance. "Yes! Let's go get our stuff and go back to your place. I would love a hot tub. Maybe we can discuss our plans for the new business in further details."
Vincent and Ronnie were still at the table as we walked up but they looked up with a sympathetic smile. Like the true gentlemen that they are... or what they could be, they stood up as we approached.
"Ronnie, Savannah and I are having a sleep over tonight at her place. Do you want to come too? We have something to talk to you about," Anne started as she put her arm through her purse.
"Pop?" Ronnie helped Anne grab her coat that was on the chair and held it for her. Seeing them together was so romantic. No one would have guessed that they have only known each other for a matter of months. Ronnie took so much care with Anne and she always had a smile on her face. I hoped and begged that this isn't the honeymoon stage. Anne deserved to be happy.
&n
bsp; "That's fine, you want to come?" Vincent asked Ronnie as he grabbed his coat and wrapped around my shoulders. I leaned into him and kissed his shoulder. He smelled so good. Man, I love this man.
*
"So what did you want to talk about?" Ronnie asked as he rubbed Anne's shoulders while we were soaking in the hot tub.
I sat next to Vincent and pulled his arm up so he could hold me. The most surprising part of the evening is when he didn't ever ask me about what Keith said. I was so happy about that. There was no way I could talk about it right now.
Cherub is running full clipped speed around the backyard and every once in a while, he would try to stalk a leaf. His little puppy bark makes me smile. He is such a chubbster and I love it when he snuggles with me in bed even though Vincent keeps telling that he is going to get big.
