Monnique grabbed me by the hand and stroked me while she kissed me, breathing into my mouth. She was on fire and burning me with her touch. She was the sexiest damn thing in the world. She touched me in just the right way, making me desperate to be inside her.
I grabbed her hips then moved her up the tree, her legs wrapping around my waist. The insertion was smooth. I moaned quietly while I felt her wetness. She was warm and tight like usual.
Her fingers dug into my hair while she kissed me, moaning in between kisses. I rocked into her slowly, wanting this to last all night. I was never in a hurry to finish making love to Monnique. Every second of the journey was better than the finish. Our bodies and minds were combined together, reaching a high both of us felt. It was so good that I didn’t give a damn if anyone saw us.
Monnique bit her lip while she tried not to scream. Judging the tightness of her body, she was hitting her climax, coming for me like she always did. I loved seeing the satisfaction on her face. I liked being the man to make her legs shake. My baby was pleased and fulfilled. But I wasn’t. I kept going, enjoying it for as long as my body would allow. Making love to a drop-dead gorgeous woman had its cons like everything else. It was hard not to come when you were inside her, feeling her in a way only you were allowed to experience.
Her fingers dug into my shoulders. “Come inside me.”
Fuck. Hotter words I’d never heard. I pressed my lips to hers then released, feeling my need fill her with every final thrust. It felt so good every damn time. I wanted to do this every night, every morning, and every day. She was the most amazing woman in the world. I wanted her to be mine forever.
I held her against the tree and caught my breath. We stared into each other’s eyes, the heat still between us. I could make love to her over and over again but I was never satisfied. I was never full.
I remained inside her, not eager to pull out. I was inside her more often than I wasn’t. It’s where I longed to be. Monnique gave me everything I wanted, and after the bumpy ride we had, we were stronger. There wasn’t a doubt in my mind that she was the only woman I’d ever have. There was no one better.
I swallowed the lump in my throat while I held her gaze. Everything became quiet. I could hear her breathing like it was amplified through a stereo. For a moment in time, it was just she and I on that beach. The rest of the world was gone. Embers burned deep in her eyes, and I knew I wanted to watch the fire until I was old and gray. She was the one. I already knew this, but I realized it again and again. I’d love her forever. “Marry me.”
Her eyes bore into mine, and slowly, moisture accumulated, building until it was on the verge of releasing. She took a deep breath, her hands still on my shoulders. I waited for her to answer me. I waited for her to do something. “Yes.”
My heart swelled and burst in joy. This was not how I imagined asking her. I had an idea in my mind. But this moment was better. It was spontaneous and true. The magic was in the air. We both felt it. And I didn’t want to waste any more time starting over and taking it slow. She was my future wife. Why slow it down? “I don’t have the ring on me, but—”
“Yes.” She kissed me, pressing hard against my mouth. “I’ll marry you.” Tears fell from her eyes and down her cheeks. “That was perfect. Everything I hoped for.”
I felt my own tears start to fall. “I don’t want to waste any more time…”
“Neither do I.”
“Let’s just go to City Hall and do it. I don’t want to wait.”
“Okay.”
“If that’s what you want.”
“I just want to marry you.” She wrapped her arms around my neck and pressed her face to mine. “I want to be with you forever.”
I held her close, feeling the breeze brush through my hair. “You’ve made me the happiest man in the world.”
“And me the happiest woman.”
I rubbed my nose against hers. “Let’s keep this to ourselves until Mike’s honeymoon is over.”
“That’s a good idea,” she said. “I don’t want to rain on their parade.”
I brought her hand to my lips. “But we’ll know—just us.”
“And that makes it even better.” She grabbed my face and kissed me again. Instantly, I was hard. I was emotional, happy, and hot for her. Now she was my fiancé and I wanted to be inside her now.
My cock hardened while I was inside her since I never pulled out. Still against the tree, I made love to her again, this time, crying with her while we celebrated our engagement under the stars. It was a night I would never forget, something that she and I would share forever.

Flynn
Hazel sat on my lap, looking damn beautiful in her bridesmaid dress. I kept staring at her, my eyes lingering on her toned and long legs. Those things drove me crazy. I liked the way they felt when they were around my waist, squeezing me when I pushed her into an unforgettable climax. I liked making her come. It was fun. And I was so good at it that I had every right to be cocky.
My hand moved up her dress, wanting to feel the thong I saw her put on earlier.
She swatted my hand away. “No.”
“No?”
“You heard me, mister.”
“Mister?”
She crossed her legs and smoothed out her dress. “No hanky-panky right now.”
“Who made up that rule?”
“Me.”
“No one would even notice if we snuck away.”
“Yes, they would,” she said firmly.
I looked around. “I haven’t seen Sean, Scarlet, Monnique and Cortland in a while. I bet you they are doing exactly what I want to do.”
“No, they have more class than that.”
I laughed. “You don’t know your friends very well.”
She shook her head and ignored me.
“You shouldn’t sit on my lap if you don’t want to have sex with me.”
“Why can’t I just sit on your lap without you thinking about sex?”
“Have you seen you?” I asked incredulously. “It’s pretty damn hard not to get a boner when your nice ass is sitting on my dick.”
She grabbed her wine and drank it.
“Come on,” I said into her ear. “I’ll rock your world good and hard.”
“No.”
My hand moved up her thigh. “Baby, I know how to make you scream. Let me make you scream.”
She pushed my hand away. “We can’t do that now.”
“I always get what I want.” I squeezed her thigh.
“Your cockiness is borderline crazy.”
“I’m just cocky around you. You give me this confidence.”
“Me? How?”
“Because I know you’re crazy about me. Now let me make love to you. You know you want me inside you.”
“Arrogance is not a turn on.”
My hand slipped up her dress so quickly she couldn’t react. My fingers found her entrance like a magnet. “You’re wet—really wet.”
She moaned quietly while she felt me rub my fingers over her clitoris. People were around so they would see if they looked but I didn’t give a shit. “Flynn, stop.” Her voice came out weak, half asked.
“That was pathetic,” I said with a laugh.
She squeezed my forearm then pulled my fingers out of her. The moisture was on my fingertips. I brought it to my lips then sucked them.
“Yum.” I gave her a dark look.
Her eyes glowed in desire. “You’re a pig.”
“No argument there.” I kissed her neck then pulled her closer to my chest. “Let me between your legs. I’m so hot for you.”
“You’re always hot for me.”
“And you’re always hot for me.” I nibbled on her earlobe. “Now come on. I shouldn’t have to try so hard to talk you into this.”
She rolled her eyes and sighed. “Fine.”
“Don’t act like you aren’t dying for me,” I whispered in her ear. “Tell me you want me.”
“I do.
” She said it so quietly I could barely hear her.
“I can’t hear you.”
“You are so egotistical,” she hissed.
“Sorry? I can’t hear you.” I gave her my typical cocky grin.
“I want you.” She pressed her lips to my ear, making it loud and clear.
“Well, why didn’t you say so?” I stood up and put her feet on the ground. “Let’s head to the bathroom.”
“Romantic,” she said sarcastically.
I took her hand and guided her into the house. A few caterers were in the kitchen taking care of the food. They didn’t pay attention to us as we headed to the bathroom down the hall. When I grabbed the handle, I heard a guy moaning.
“You’re so good at that, baby.”
Sean. I recognized his voice. “Um…looks like the bathroom is taken.”
Hazel covered her face and tried not to laugh.
I took her hand and pulled her away. “Let’s head upstairs.”
“In there room?” she asked incredulously.
“No, the other bathroom. Obviously.”
We walked upstairs then tried the handle.
“You want me to spank you?” a man yelled.
“Ryan, I always want you to spank me.”
Ryan and Janice.
I turned to her. “Okay…what are the odds of that?”
Hazel was red in the face. “What are they? Animals?”
I cocked an eyebrow. “Really?”
She smirked. “I guess we’re animals too.”
“Let’s head to the beach. No one will be there.”
“Ooooh…sex on the beach?” She had a twinkle in her eye.
“You’ll love it. The waves will mask your screams.”
“What makes you think I’ll scream?” she teased.
I grabbed her ass. “I always make you scream.”
When we arrived at the beach, muffled cries came from the distance.
“What’s that?” Hazel asked.
I turned to the copse of trees and noticed too dark figures. I couldn’t make anything out.
“Cortland…”
I rolled my eyes. “Seriously, this is just ridiculous.”
Hazel laughed. “Wow. We all have the same mind.”
“They took all the good spots,” I argued.
“Maybe we should just go back to the party.”
“No, we’re doing it.” I pulled her back to the house. I had a raging hard-on and it wasn’t going to go away until I came inside her.
When we passed the dance floor, Mike was dancing with Cassandra, his head pressed to hers. When he spotted us, he waved us over. “Have you seen everyone?”
I tried not to laugh. “No.”
“They’re probably taking care of the caterers,” Hazel lied.
Cassandra grabbed Mike’s neck and pulled his lips to hers, changing his thoughts.
“Let’s get out of here before he questions us.” I guided her to the side of the house.
“Where are we going?” she hissed.
“Behind the house.”
“You’re going to take me against the wall?” she asked incredulously.
“Don’t act innocent. I know you like it dirty.”
She didn’t argue with me.
When we rounded the corner, we both stilled.
Sean’s dad had his mom pinned to the wall, her legs wrapped around his waist. Her fingers dug in his hair while they screwed in the darkness. They were too absorbed to notice us standing there.
I sighed then pulled Hazel away. “I give up.”

Mike
Who knew weddings could be so much fun? Every time I went to one, I was bored unless I was hooking up with a bridesmaid or there was booze around. But my wedding day with Cassandra was absolutely fantastic.
Her dress looked stunning on her, making her look even more gorgeous than she usually was. While I loved the gown, I wanted to rip it off right now and take her as my wife. That gave me chills. She was mine now and forever.
When a slow song came on, I held Cassandra close to me and swayed with her, my face close to hers. I could stare at her all night. Her shoes were off because they hurt her feet, so I felt like a giant compared to her. Her waist felt so small in my hand. Her swollen belly touched my stomach, and that somehow made me aroused.
“Thanks for marrying me,” I whispered. “I’ll do my best to make you happy.”
She smiled. “I’m sure your best will be more than enough.”
“You’re precious to me.” There were no other words to describe how I felt. “Both of you.”
“I know.”
I kissed her nose then her lips. Her mouth was warm and soft.
When I pulled away, I locked my eyes onto hers. “I know I said we wouldn’t go anywhere for our honeymoon, but there’s somewhere I want to take you tonight.”
Her eyes lit up in excitement. “Where?”
“You’ll see.” I knew people would be cleaning up long after the party ended. I wanted to be alone with my wife, not have people downstairs cleaning. It wasn’t exactly romantic.
“Now I’m curious.”
“Scarlet packed your things and put it in the car. We’re ready to go whenever you are.”
“Anxious?” she gave me a playful look.
“A little.” I smirked at her. “Seeing you wear that dress has made me hot all night. Knowing you’re my wife is a huge turn on.”
“Everything is a turn on to you.”
“With you, that’s true.” I held my wife close to me, treasuring the brightness in her eyes that reflected the lights hanging above. She looked happy, content. I was glad that look came from me. I wanted to remember this night forever.
I was a completely different man than I used to be. I didn’t even recognize myself. My life had changed so quickly and so suddenly, but I wasn’t jolted. I wasn’t scared to be a dad or a husband. There was nothing to be afraid of. In fact, I was thrilled. It was a dream I never thought I could have or want.
“What are you thinking?” she whispered.
“Words can’t describe.”
“I have a feeling I’m thinking the same thing.”
How did my life become so perfect? Without her, I’d be empty and pathetic just like I used to be. But now I had everything I could ever want. My life would be spent here, with my wife and kids. There’s nothing else I could ever want.
I pressed my hand to her stomach. “You doing okay?”
“I feel great.”
“Okay.” In the back of my mind, I was always worried about her pregnancy. I didn’t want her to do too much too fast.
I pulled her away from the dance floor then grabbed her a cup of ice water. She held it to her lips and drank it, watching me. I didn’t drink any alcohol because she didn’t. Being drunk while she was completely sober wasn’t exactly sexy.
“You ready to go?” I asked.
“I think we’ve danced our ass off enough.” She grabbed the front of my suit. “And I want to see this surprise.”
“The surprise isn’t so much the place, but what I’m going to do to you.”
“Even better.”
I looked around for my best man, needing him to get everything ready. But when I looked at the dance floor, I didn’t see anyone in my wedding party. Where were they?
Cortland walked by with Monnique trailing behind them. They both had stupid grins on their faces. They were either drunk or really happy.
“Where’s everyone else?” I asked.
Cortland practically jumped out of his shoes. “Um…I haven’t seen them.”
“Haven’t seem them? The property is only an acre.”
Cortland shrugged. “I guess I’m drunk.” His face tinted slightly.
Sean pulled Scarlet toward us, his lips pressed to her ear while he whispered. She kept rolling his eyes, ignoring his comment.
“Hey, where have you been?” I asked.
Sean stilled. “Um, Cortland and I were help
ing the caterers.”
Cortland cringed.
I eyed both of them. “What’s going on?”
“Nothing,” Sean said quickly. “You need something?”
Then it dawned on me. “This isn’t a sex party. It’s my wedding.”
“We weren’t having sex,” Sean said immediately.
I could see the lie in his eyes. “Whatever. Just get the car ready. My bride and I are leaving.”
Sean saluted me. “Yes, sir.”
When Janice and Ryan came to us, she was rubbing her backside. “You got me good,” she said.
Ryan smirked. “That’s what you get for being a bad girl.”
These two had no shame. I glared at Cortland. “At least Ryan doesn’t try to hide it.”
“Hide what?” Ryan asked.
“Nevermind,” I said darkly.
Flynn and Hazel joined the group. Flynn glared at everyone. “Hope everyone is having a good time.” The attitude was in his voice.
“What’s your problem?” Ryan asked.
“While all of you were having sex, Hazel and I were forced to entertain ourselves,” Flynn said.
“How did you know?” Cortland asked.
“Because I saw you,” Flynn snapped. “And Andrew and Diane.”
Gross. My parents were getting it on at my wedding? “Okay, my wife and I are getting out of here.” I liked calling her my wife. It rolled off the tongue so easily.
Sean came back. “Everything is packed and ready to go.”
“You ready, baby?” I asked my wife.
“Yep.”
“Where are you going?” Ryan asked.
“To become a man.” I winked then walked with Cassandra.
Everyone followed us to the driveway as I got Cassandra into the passenger seat. They stood there, waiting for me to drive away from the house. I came back to them before I got into the car.
“Thanks for everything,” I said.
Cortland smiled. “No problem. Have a good time.”
“Spank her,” Ryan said. “Girls like that.”
“I’ll keep that in mind,” I said with a smile.
Scarlet leaned into Sean. “I put a few surprises in her suitcase.” She wiggled her eyebrows at me.
