Page 50 of Tempting Tessa

A knock on the door brings me out of my daydream. “Come in,” I call out.

“Are you ready to walk down that aisle?” my dad asks me as he stands just looking at me and taking in the moment.

“Yes. I am so ready,” I tell my dad as he wraps me in his arms for a hug.

“Well, there is no time like the present. Let’s go get you married. I love you, baby girl,” my dad says to me as he kisses my cheek. “And in case I haven’t told you yet, you look beautiful.”

“Thanks, Dad, I feel beautiful.”

“Jake is a lucky man.” He squeezes my hand and leads me to the door.

We walk out of the room I used to get ready and take our position at the back of the church. The music starts and I get my first glimpse of Jake. His eyes are focused on me and I smile at him. I can tell his eyes are glossy and he is holding back tears. He looks so handsome in his uniform. Both Ty and my dad are walking me down the aisle and then Ty will stand up with us. It was important to me that he be included in this, as he is the most important person in my life.

We make it to the altar and through the ceremony. Both Jake and I can’t hold back the tears and emotions while we are saying our vows. I knew I would be a blubbering mess if I tried to write my own, so we just used the standard ones and we are still a crying mess.

The pastor announces us husband and wife and Jake pulls me into his arms for the kiss. I love this man so much. We make our way out of the sanctuary and greet all our guests before they head to the reception location. Before we leave, we still have a few pictures that we need to take. But before we do, Jake pulls me into the room I used to get ready.

“I couldn’t wait another minute to get you alone,” he grounds out as he pulls me tight against his body and kisses me. “You are sofucking beautifulin that dress and you are driving me fucking crazy. I will enjoy every second of getting you out of it later tonight,” he tells me as he peppers kisses along my neck.

“If you keep that up, I don’t think I’ll be able to wait until tonight,” I moan.

“Damn, woman, don’t tempt me to fuck you right here in this church,” he whispers as he continues to kiss along my neck.

“Then stop tormenting me with your mouth. And don’t give yourself blue balls. I need you ready when we do make it to the hotel tonight.” I laugh and playfully try and push him away.

“A little late for that, sweetheart. I’ve been hard since the second I saw you in the church doorway. It’s a good thing all eyes in the church were on you.” He smirks.

I just laugh at him before kissing him again.

“Let’s go get the pictures finished so we can get over to the reception and eat. I’m starving!”

“Ok, beautiful,” he says as he leads me out of the room.

We finish at the church and arrive at the reception. After the typical announced entrance and first dances are out of the way, we are finally able to sit and eat. The menu for the night is amazing. We spend the next few hours enjoying our time dancing the night away with our friends and family. We finally make it out around 11pm and head for the hotel we are staying at for the night. Jake planned the honeymoon and all I know is we are going somewhere tropical. My parents are keeping Ty while we are gone for the week. I’m so looking forward to a week alone with my husband. Holy shit, I have a husband!

When we get into our room, we find a bottle of champagne and chocolate covered strawberries have been sent to us from the hotel. Jake pops the bottle and pours us each a glass.

“To my wife, the most beautiful amazing woman. I love you, Tessa, and look forward to every day I get to spend with you,” he tells me as we clink glasses and Jake pulls me closer to him so he can kiss me sweetly.

“I am so ready to get you out of this dress,” he says as he sets his glass down and then reaches for mine to do the same.

Since my hair is half up and half down, he sweeps it off one side of my neck and trails kisses down to my collarbone. He reaches back around and finds the zipper and slowly lowers it, trailing his fingers along my spine as he does this, causing goose bumps to break out all over my skin. Once he reaches the end of the zipper, he slowly starts to push the dress down my body, helping me step out of it. I only have on a lacy white strapless bra and matching thong.

“God, you are so fucking beautiful. I don’t think you will ever cease to take my breath away,” he tells me as he just takes in my almost naked body. “I am one lucky man,” he says as he steps closer, wrapping his arms around my body, sliding his hands from the sides of my breasts down to cup my ass.

We make our way over toward the bed, kissing along the way. He has picked me up, so I’m wrapped around him. I’m sure he can feel how aroused I am. I’m so ready to make love to my husband.

Jake lays me down on the bed softly. He breaks the kiss and trails kisses down my body. When he reaches my breasts, he removes the bra and then sucks one nipple and then the other into his mouth, grazing his teeth across them as he pays attention to them. He then makes his way down my torso, swirling his tongue around my navel. I’m a little shocked when he stops and gets up from the bed. I then realize he has grabbed the bottle of champagne and has now poured some onto my torso and is licking it off me. He sucks the liquid that has pooled in my navel and then continues kissing down until he is at the top edge of my thong. He slips his thumbs in the sides and lowers it down my legs until it’s off and he tosses it onto the floor.

“I am going to devour you tonight,” he tells me as he starts to unbutton his shirt. Once he has removed it, he unbuckles his belt and drops his pants and boxers. This man might be covered in scars and missing a body part, but he is still sexy as hell and I am one lucky lady.

“I can’t wait,” I tell him.

He leans down so he is hovering above me. “Tell me what you want tonight, beautiful.”

“You. I just want to make love to you,” I tell him.

“Your wish is my command.”
