Page 140 of Wilde Abandon

Lost in the wild abandon of it all, they came together with hearts racing and pleasure overwhelming them.

He collapsed on top of her, then rolled to his side, taking her with him, so they were face-to-face as they clung to each other, still joined.“Marry me.I’ll get you a ring, I’ll do the whole proposal thing right, I promise, but I need to know you’ll be my wife.”

“There’s nothing I want more.Yes.”

He crushed her to him, his lips pressed to hers in a kiss that was filled with love and need and excitement.His half-hard cock swelled inside her again and she rocked against him.

He rolled her to her back.This time their lovemaking was slow and sweet, with kisses that lingered and tempted, their bodies moving together, hands brushing and sweeping over sensitive skin until their need rose like a wave, building before crashing into the soft caress of the warm sand.

In his arms, lying heart to heart, she felt what their future would always be.Them.Connected.Loving each other through the good and the bad.Together.

Chapter thirty-eight

Melodywipedatearfrom her cheek and hugged her brother Jax so hard he groaned.She leaned back and stared up at him, so handsome in his tux.“I am so happy for you and Layla.”The wedding ceremony had ended a few minutes ago.It had been short and sweet and filled with meaning, because they weren’t just starting a life together, they were starting a family, too.

Layla was a beautiful bride in a white gown with a fitted long-sleeve top that had a wide V-neck, with floral appliqués and a barely there back.The chiffon skirt draped from her waist to the floor in a church-length train that puddled at the back of her feet, but wasn’t long enough to hinder her during the reception.If you didn’t know she was pregnant, you’d never tell in that dress.It was sexy and beautiful.Just like Melody’s brother’s bride.

Inspiration for Melody’s upcoming wedding.She and Fox hadn’t set a date.She was still waiting for her proposal and ring.She suspected Fox was waiting for them to officially move in together in Boston next week.

With everyone involved in the kidnapping locked up behind bars for the last two weeks awaiting their trials, they had no reason to stay here.

Aria had already hired two new waitresses to replace her.Melody had been training them the last few days while Fox worked from the apartment or center, getting ready to hand it over to the director he’d hired to run it for him.

They’d be coming back often, but she couldn’t wait to start her life with him in Boston.

“You look happy, too.”Jax’s love for her shone in his eyes.“It does my heart good to see you smiling again.”

She pulled her hands from around his neck and stared up into his sparkling blue eyes, so like hers.She’d miss him.All of them.But she needed to go, to stretch her wings, and be with the man who made her this deliriously happy.“I’m letting go of the past and moving on to my future with Fox.”

“You’re up next.Right?”

She couldn’t wait to marry Fox.“Soon.I want to be his wife as much as he wants me to be his wife.”

“And you’ll open your restaurant.You’ll build something of your own.”

“The Dark Horse will be a piece of home.Who knows, maybe I’ll become a restaurant mogul.”

“I have no doubt if you put your mind to it, you could rule the world.”

“I want what you have with Layla.Love.A family.A life we make together, filled with happy memories.”

“Well, I know I won’t have to worry about you.Not when you have Fox and his buddies.”

Yes.Dean and Max came with Fox and she couldn’t be happier about it.“I gained two new brothers along with my very loving and protective fiancé.”

“Are you talking about me?”Fox asked, joining her and Jax, along with Layla.Fox had whisked the bride onto the dance floor so Melody could have a moment with Jax.

Jax hooked his arm around his bride’s waist and pulled her close.“We were talking about you and Melody getting married next.”

“We have to set a date.”Fox smiled at her, not a single nerve or hesitation about getting married.

She snuggled into his side.“I don’t want to wait.I want to get married as soon as possible.”

Fox grinned.“Your wish is my command.Here?Or in Boston?”

“Doesn’t matter as long as everyone we love is there.”

He nodded.“So, small and intimate.”
