SEAL's Promise - Bad Boys of SEAL Team 3, Book 01
Page 22
“Very well.” He pulled up her veil, and, completely without regard to protocol, pulled her to him and kissed her, as she exploded in his arms. They listened to the crowd titter, but he didn’t care. He could see she didn’t care either. He kept his hands around the small of her back and no lower, but damn, he wanted to.
Just as he had the day of Frankie’s wedding, though it was so inconvenient, he was getting a hard on. It’s the dress. Something about all the flouncy, crinkling material flowing everywhere. It brought out the familiar wild side of him.
The minister cleared his throat, and again a ripple of laughter waved through the audience.
“I guess I should get you properly wed before I get you out of this dress,” he whispered. She remained in his arms, waiting for him to take the lead. She’d have stood there half a day if he wanted, and he loved that about her.
“You can take your time, I understand you’re a special operator, and I’m going to let you special me all you want.”
“Let’s get you mine, legally. I don’t want you slipping away on me.”
“Never going to happen, T.J.”
The crowd was laughing now heartily. Several Hooyas enthusiastically gave him encouragement. He turned to the audience and gave them a thumbs up, and several returned his gesture.
“I’m ready now,” he said to the minister, whose face showed a mixture of concern and amusement.
“Good. Okay, ladies and gentlemen …”
But T.J. had kept his arms around Shannon as she leaned in all her perfumed glory against him, her breasts pressing against his biceps. He matched her breathing, as they stared into each others eyes at several places during the reading of the canon. The minister had to interrupt their gazing for the presentation of the rings.
For the second time in his life, he slipped his mother’s ring on Shannon’s finger, looking over at his sister. Connie immediately lowered her chin and could not look back at him. Shannon was now his for all eternity with the pronouncement. Her veil was already tucked back from her head. He lifted his hands to cup her face and spoke, “If you can find it in your heart to love me a tenth of the amount I love you, you’ll make me a happy man, eternally.”
Their kiss was brief. Shannon wanted to say something, “T.J. you are the man I was always destined to be with. My heart is filled to bursting. I’ll be here for you forever.”
T.J. picked her up and whispered, “Honey, I hope you don’t mind, but I’ve got the biggest hard-on I’ve ever had, and I need some cover.”
She threw her head back and laughed. “Perfect. Don’t ever change, T.J.”
“Not to worry, baby.”
He carried her down the aisle, as he winked and she waved to faces in the audience. He continued carrying her down the brown tiled floor to the minister’s office, which was locked. Still with Shannon in his arms, he found a Sunday school room open and slipped inside.
His hands were all over her, first pulling down the bodice to expose her breasts. He knelt and suckled them, at the same time reached under her white skirts and found she was not wearing underwear.
“How did you know?”
“I was hoping. And I liked the feel of walking down the aisle without them on.”
“You’re a wicked bride.”
“I am that. So wickedly in love with you.”
He sat her on a countertop, brushing the contents aside.
“Hurry,” she whispered as he began unzipping his pants.
All he could do was fumble. He’d never had so much trouble with his zipper in his life. Then it got stuck in the fabric of the front closure.
“Fuck!” he said.
“Please, yes.”
“No, I mean, the zipper is stuck.”
“Let me.” She squeezed his package, massaging lower, pushing his hands away. Her fingers deftly found the zipper, untangled the fabric from the teeth as she pulled the device down slowly and her hands found his shaft. “Ah, there we are, T.J.” She slipped his trousers over his thighs.
She guided him to her entrance, and he at last felt her moist folds around him as he squeezed her buttocks, pulling her onto him.
SHANNON WAS NOT going to leave his side. She didn’t want to dance with anyone else, but in the end she caved and socialized. She watched him from behind as he talked to his Teammates. She watched how delicately he treated her mother. He even danced with his sister.
She was happy that at last they would be able to move forward together.
Joe Benson asked her for a dance. “I think I am just as happy today.”
Shannon’s eyes filled with tears. “He would be happy for me, for all of us, Dad.”
Benson looked down and lost his timing for a second, stepping on her gown, and apologized. “I think he would. Gloria and I have no regrets, Shannon. None.”
At last she was able to dance with her handsome groom. T.J. swung her around the room with the practiced composure of a professional dancer, and it surprised her.
“You’ve been practicing,” she said.
“Sophia’s dance lessons. Secret stealth mission.”
“Ah, I see. And what else have you been practicing?”
“You’ll just have to wait, Mrs. Talbot. That has taken a lifetime of planning. I may have to do a lot of practice, but I plan on becoming absolute master and commander.”
“Counting on it. And I’ll be your second in command.”
The End
Sharon Hamilton
NYT and USA Today best-selling author Sharon Hamilton’s award-winning Navy SEAL Brotherhood series have been a fan favorite from the day the first one was released. They’ve earned her the coveted Amazon author ranking of #1 in Romantic Suspense, Military Romance and Contemporary Romance categories, as well as in Gothic Romance for her Vampires of Tuscany and Guardian Angels. Her characters follow a sometimes rocky road to redemption through passion and true love.
Her Golden Vampires of Tuscany are not like any vamps you’ve read about before, since they don’t go to ground and can walk around in the full light of the sun.
Her Guardian Angels struggle with the human charges they are sent to save, often escaping their vanilla world of Heaven for the brief human one. You won’t find any of these beings in any Sunday school class.
She lives in Sonoma County, California with her husband and two Dobermans. A lifelong organic gardener, when she’s not writing, she’s getting verra verra dirty in the mud, or wandering Farmers Markets looking for new Heirloom varieties of vegetables and flowers.
