“No weirdness. They’ve been here plenty of times over the last few years and there is zero desire between Rose and me, you fuckhead.” Torch slaps Trigger on the back of the head and everyone laughs.

Capone slams his gavel onto the table, shutting everyone up. “Now that fucked up shit is out of the way, let’s get Aftermath to the beach to marry his Tiger. We’re all riding our bikes out there together. Knight, Seth and Jax will be bringing all the ladies and kids in the SUVs. We’ll get you hitched, go to the Royal Casino to celebrate and send you two off on your honeymoon.” Capone slams the gavel three times on the table and we all file out of Church together.

We arrive at the beach an hour later. The SUVs are already here with the Ol’ Ladies and the kids. I don’t see Kensi or Nadia, but they’re probably in the tent to the left of the area.

The sun is just setting over the horizon, creating a purple and pink backdrop. Luckily the weather has held out and there is only a small crisp in the air for New Year's Eve. Not too cold and not too hot.

The Ol’ Ladies were here earlier and set up chairs and an altar for Kensi and me to be married under. Two dozen chairs, twelve on each side, face the Pacific Ocean lined with white lace and purple satin. Kensi didn’t want a big wedding, just our close family.

In the front row on the right is my mom and she is wearing an elegant silver gown that sparkles when she walks with her hair done up in a stylish twist and gold hoop earrings. Pearl, Trigger, Tiny with his kitten Peanut, and Syvannah are sitting behind my mom. Derange, Jezebelle and Seth are behind them.

To the left Zack, Kensi’s dad, will sit once he brings her down the aisle. He is wearing a pair of black dress slacks and a silver dress shirt that matches my mom’s dress. Kensi didn’t want to invite her mom and little brother, which I understood. Sitting behind Zack are Capone and Danyella with Nina. Then Blayze and Monica are on the other side of Nina. Torch and Daisy are near the back with Knight, Jax and Rose.

Pretty Boy, Bones, Knight and Exleigh are standing up in the back, keeping an eye on our surroundings and the kids in the wedding occupied. Dagger is in his spot at the front of the altar, preparing to marry us.

Music begins playing and Red walks down the aisle, taking his place to the right of the altar. Mara Jean and Naomi walk down the aisle wearing purple dresses and dropping flowers as they go. Next comes Jaxson bringing the rings wearing a little Royal Bastards cut, a white shirt and dark jeans.

Nadia comes after Jaxson, wearing a long strapless purple gown that fits her like a second skin. From the flame in Red’s cheeks and the heated look in both their eyes, we might be welcoming another baby soon.

Once Nadia takes her place to the right of the altar then I take my place at the front and stay turned, facing the ocean. Red is standing next to me, both of us are in our cuts, a clean white t-shirt underneath and black tight-fitting jeans with our boots.

The music changes toJust PretendbyBad Omensand I listen as bodies rise. Once the tempo kicks in, I turn to find Kensi standing at the end of the aisle. Her white satin gown clings to every curve of her beautiful body. The sides of her dark hair are pinned out of her face and her mesmerizing blue and green eyes are sparkling with mischief and love.

The sight before me takes my breath away. Kensi walks down the aisle toward me with her head held high. One hand is looped through her dad’s and the other is clutching her bouquet.

She moves toward me with grace and elegance. As I watch her make her way to me, it hits me hard. Everything I love about her isall wrapped up in a tiny, yet mouthy package that isn’t afraid to speak her mind and love with all her heart. My eyes tear up and my heart is hammering inside my chest at my beautiful bride-to-be.

Kensi and Zack reach us and I step forward. He releases her hand with fresh tears in his eyes. “You take care of my Lil’ Kay or I will hunt you down and castrate you.” People near the front row hear Zack’s threat and they let out a low chuckle.

“I will love her more than my own life,” I vow. Zack kisses Kensi on the side of the head and places her hand in mine. Then he takes his seat in the front row.

We turn to face Dagger and Kensi lets out a squeak of awe. The setting sun is casting beautiful shades of deep purples and pinks. As Dagger gives us our blessing and honors us as husband and wife, a lonely ray of sunlight breaks through the clouds and shines onto our family before disappearing. A blessing in disguise.

Epilogue

KENSI

1 YEAR LATER

Our house is finally finished and Aftermath and I moved in a couple of days ago. We are hosting a get together with all of the Royal Bastards MC in attendance. Aftermath bought the property to the left of Red and Nadia’s house, which was finished two months ago, just in time for Nadia to spring a little surprise on all of us by needing another bedroom added. Red is freaking out but Nadia is excited to give Matthew a baby brother or sister.

I set the food on the table in the backyard when Aftermath swoops me off my feet. I instinctively wrap my legs around his waist and pepper his face with kisses. Being in his arms never gets tiring or old.

“I have something I want to show you, Tiger.” Aftermath growls against my neck. My panties dampen from the deep timber of Aftermath’s voice vibrating against my skin.

“Hmm… Our guests will be here soon.” I whine pressing myself down on the hardness behind the zipper of his jeans. I want whatever Aftermath wants to show me, twenty-four seven.

“It’ll be quick and our guests can wait.”

Aftermath carries me into our house, slamming the door with the heel of his boot and sets me on the kitchen counter. He works my tight jeans down my legs until he flings them off along with my panties. The cold marble against my skin makes me gasp.

We’ve christened every room in this house over the last couple of days and we’re about to do it again on the marble countertop. Aftermath kisses me hard. We’re a mess of tongue and teeth scraping against each other. I thread my fingers through his hair and gently tug, causing him to groan. Aftermath reaches between us and his hand cups my sex, feeling the heat coming off me. His fingers explore me, causing me to moan and climb to an orgasm.

Before I can comprehend what’s happening, Aftermath’s belt is unbuckled and he drops his pants. He slides my ass to the edge of the countertop and enters me with one smooth thrust. I lock my heels around his backside, pushing him into me deeper.

He thrusts hard and fast, causing me to claw and scratch his back as my orgasm takes over and I fall over the edge with Aftermath falling right behind me. Once I am breathing normally again, I grasp Aftermath’s face and shower him with kisses.

“There’s something I need to tell you,” I say, not letting him pull out yet.
