Chapter 11
In the spring, they had a backyard wedding, and a handful of friends and family came. Ty strung little white twinkle lights through the branches of the trees, and his mother did most of the cooking, while Regina donated the cake. Sadie stood for Kristin, and as everyone watched, Ty Addison took Kristin Shaw to be his bride.
Kristin looked at Ty, knowing he was the one that filled her heart, when she didn’t think she’d ever love again. Ty smiled at her, his eyes shining with happiness, and with her hands in his, they repeated the words that would make them husband and wife.
“You may now kiss the bride.”
Ty looked at his gorgeous bride, realizing his dreams. She’d come into this town, a complete stranger, and turned his world upside down. He didn’t understand it at the time, but he wanted to be around her, and all this time later, he still wanted to be around her. She made his entire world brighter. It’s like a fog lifted, and every moment with her was a treasure.
They’d make beautiful children together, and he couldn’t wait.
Leaning down, he kissed his bride. “I love you, Mrs. Addison,” he smiled.
“I love you, Mr. Addison.”
It was a lovely day, and when the guests all left, and they’d cleaned up, Ty took his wife to bed. Something he’d wanted to do since they’d gotten together. Tonight they would consummate their marriage, tonight he would hold her in his arms and make sweet love to her.
Ty looked at his bride. She was the prettiest girl he’d ever seen. Her soft blonde hair gently framed her face, and her eyes shown like clear mountain lakes in pools of blue. Her slender frame made him feel masculine when he held her, her small body tucked into his arms. Holding Kristin in his arms made him feel alive.
As Kristin looked up at her husband, she knew she’d made the right decision in staying with him. She felt safe when he was near, and always found a way to make her feel better. Her husband’s broad shoulders and solid body offered strength, while his strong mind offered courage to her when she needed it. He was certain of who he was, and didn’t falter. She loved that confidence.
Standing in their new shared bedroom, Ty held his wife, “I’ve wanted to make love to you for such a long time. You make my heart so full,” he whispered.
Kristin smiled, her chin tilted up, looking at her husband. Ty pulled her in closer, needing to feel her body against his own. Lowering his mouth to hers, he brushed his lips to his wife’s. Lifting his hand to her shoulder, he helped her slowly undress.
On seeing her body, beautifully naked for the first time, Ty took his wife to bed. His large hand came up to her cheek, stroking her face. He couldn’t look away from her, and with love overwhelming him, he made love to his wife for the first time.
Feeling her soft and supple body, Ty felt complete. His fingers traced her curves, bringing soft moans of pleasure from her.
Whispered words of love filled the air. Kissing her sweet skin, Ty knew that waiting for this moment was worth every bit of time that passed.
Kristin loved Ty. For a big, strong man, his touch was gentle, caressing her tenderly. He made her feel special. They explored one another like new territory they’d found. She was glad she waited; this night was everything she’d hoped for.
Ty entered Kristin, and together they bonded as one. Kristin’s emotions swelled; her heart fuller than she knew it could be. She was so happy, wrapped up in his arms, tangled in the sheets with her husband.
Together they shared a night of love. As the passion wound down, they’d consumed one another with lust and heated moments, until they’d exhausted their bodies. Snuggling in, Kristin curled into Ty, putting her head on his chest.
“I’m so happy,” she whispered, bathing in the afterglow of making love to her husband for the first time.
“Me too.”
Life only got better, and when Kristin became pregnant with their first child, she was beaming with joy. Ty couldn’t stop grinning when they got the news. He’d be a father. Family life was what he’d been missing all these years. With Kristin by his side, and a child on the way, life was complete.
