Page 62 of Tiago

We’re on the front porch, and Tiago reaches out to pull me into his arms.“Have I told you how gorgeous you are today?”he asks as he starts swaying with me.We’re dancing, but there’s no music.It’s very nice.

“Only about a dozen times.”

He kisses behind my ear.“Stunning.This dress is fucking scandalous.”

I giggle.I knew he would think so when I chose it.That’swhyI chose it.He would never let me wear something like this beyond the gates of the estate, but I didn’t figure he would freak out too much since no one in attendance would be hitting on me.The only single man was Dallas, and I’m pretty sure he’s spent every afternoon this week at the library.I’m equally certain he doesn’t need that much time to research the town maps.

Tiago trails a finger down my back.It’s bare to right above my butt, and Tiago dips his finger under the edge of satin so he can tease my crack.He tips me back next and kisses a trail down the extremely low V of the halter neckline.

My breasts are average, so I was able to get away with not wearing a bra.When I tried this dress on at the boutique earlier in the week, I knew the owner, Willow, had picked the perfect dress for me.She’s a gem.

“So fucking sexy,” he growls against my cleavage.“And you’re never wearing it again.”

I giggle again because I totally expected him to say that.

“It’s not just that it’s too revealing.I’ve wanted to tear it off you all day from the moment you joined me under the gazebo.My cock has been hard that long.”

I grin.“Your cock has been hard since you walked into the bakery and first saw me.”

“True.”He flicks his tongue under the V, almost reaching my nipple.“I won’t have to worry about you wearing it again anyway.”

This ought to be good.“Why’s that?”

“It won’t fit after tonight,” he teases.

I roll my eyes.“Tiago…”

He swoops down and sweeps me off my feet.Cradling me in his arms, he carries me into the house and up the ornate front stairs to the second floor.We hardly ever use the front stairs.I feel very regal wearing this dress as he climbs them tonight.

He’s damn handsome, and I love that he’s so strong and so much larger than me that he can carry me up the stairs.By his logic, that won’t last long, either.

My fine husband is wearing an expensive black three-piece suit.He wore his hair in a bun during the ceremony, but I tugged the band out of it a while ago because I love how it looks when it hangs in dark curls around his shoulders.

He’s not even winded from carrying me up the stairs, and I giggle as he enters our room and kicks the door shut.Dallas, Ryder, and Claire went into town to eat at a restaurant with Ryder and Tiago’s parents, making themselves scarce.They promised not to return too early.I appreciate the gesture because I don’t have to worry about someone hearing us now.Hearingme.I don’t want to fret about the noises we make tonight.At least, not for round one.

I’m so focused on my husband’s face that I don’t look around until he nods toward the room.I gasp as I see it’s filled with candles and rose petals.“How did you do this?”

“Ryder and Dallas did it for me before they took off.”

I hug his neck tighter.“You really do think of everything.”

He kisses my ear.“Right now, I’m only thinking of getting this indecent dress off you so I can lick every inch of your body.”He lowers me to the floor, letting me slide down his body so closely that his blatantly obvious erection glides up my stomach.

My husband kneels in front of me and slowly removes my heels before easing his palms up my bare legs, pushing the long satin dress up my body.The only reason he can do so is because there is a slit all the way up one side.

He looks up at me, still on his knees, smiling.“I’m the luckiest man on Earth, Mrs.Wilde.”

I grab his shoulders to keep from swaying.“I’m feeling pretty damn lucky myself, Mr.Wilde.”

When his fingers reach my hips, his eyes shoot open wide.“No panties?”

I smile and shrug.“The dress was too tight.Everyone would have seen panty lines.”

He growls in the way he so often does, stands, and spins me around in a full circle.“How do I get this dress off you?”

I reach up and unfasten the button of the halter straps at the back of my neck.It’s the only thing holding the dress up.The entire satin dress falls to the floor in a pool at my feet, leaving me naked.

Tiago’s breathing increases as he takes a step back and lets his gaze slowly drag up my body.He’s seen me naked many times, but tonight… His brown eyes are darker than usual, like a predator ready to pounce on its prey.
