We both use the bathroom and change into shorts and T-shirts. We won’t be messing around in her childhood home. We’ll live, but tomorrow night we’re getting a hotel.

Paige sighs as she settles against my chest. “I think it took an hour before he realized it was actually me.”

I rub her arm. “I’ve had you back for three weeks, and I’m still pinching myself.”

She lifts her head and kisses me. “I have my life back.”

“Yes, you do.”

“We’re getting married tomorrow.”

“Yes, we are.” I smile. Something I intend to do a lot for the rest of my life.

A week later…

“Please tell me we don’t have to get out of bed tomorrow for any reason.”

I chuckle as I climb over my wife’s fucking hot body, staying on my hands and knees to look down at her and absorb my good fortune.

She’s wearing a sexy white negligee. She insisted on buying it for the first night of our honeymoon, but it was a waste of money because it’s going to be on the floor in a few seconds.

I lower just my lips to kiss her. “We don’t have to get out of bed tomorrow for any reason.”

She eyes me skeptically. “Promise?”

“Promise.” I kiss her again before nibbling a path down to the swell of her breasts. She’s gained a few pounds since I found her.

We ended up staying a week at her dad’s. The man deserved some time getting to know his daughter again. We only spent one night in her childhood home. That was something I put my foot down about. We moved to a hotel the second night, but we stayed in town.

We got married the very next morning in the courthouse and then hid in her father’s home for two days before I called her closest friends and asked them to come to Alden’s.

It was an insane evening of catching up and tears, but at least everyone was there at once. Talking to everyone individually over time would have been exhausting for Paige.

Now, we’re about to spend ten days in our private bungalow on an island off the coast of Florida. I wanted to go somewhere farther and more exotic, but Paige insisted she didn’t have the energy to fly around the globe. This was closer, easier, and in the same time zone as Georgia. It was also available immediately.

She giggles.

Fuck, I love that sound.

“You’re not going to let me wear this sexy negligee, are you?”

“I’ve let you wear it for long enough,” I tease.

“It’s been like two minutes.”

I nuzzle between her breasts before grabbing the ribbon with my teeth and tugging. I spied on her while she put this on, so I know this ribbon holds the entire thing together.

Paige grabs my biceps and arches her chest. “Do that again.”

“What? This?” I run my nose between her breasts as the lace falls open.
