“Yeah.”
With the four boats, we’re all able to make it out to the island together. Bristyl and I step off hand in hand and walk together to a small clearing where the officiant stands. We’d talked about her dad walking her down, but she wanted us to walk together. Whatever she wants, she gets.
We decided not to do any of that traditional shit, just to say what’s on our minds at the time and ride it out.
Holding my woman’s hands, I look deep in her eyes. “One phone call brought us together, and there isn’t one damn thing on this earth that will pull us apart. You’re mine forever. Mine to love. Mine to protect. Mine to honor. For every day of our lives.” I slip the gold band on her finger.
Bristyl’s smile is huge, and a tear falls from her eye. “Knew from the moment I saw you that you were something special. I just didn’t think it was mine. Now, I know you are, and I’m never letting you go. This ride of life we have will be together every step of the way. Love you.” She’s so damn beautiful as she slips the ring on my finger.
“You may kiss the bride.” Grasping her, I kiss her hard, wet, and deep. Knowing I’ll never let her go.

Jacks
“Harder,”Emery moans out loudly, and I comply, thrusting my hips faster as the door rattles with each movement. “Jacks!” she calls out, falling over the edge, and I’m right behind her.
Our breaths take a while to even out as I rest my forehead on hers. Her body is wrapped around me, back to the door, my cock deep inside my woman.
A loud pounding comes to the door, thumping my woman’s head. Anger bubbles as I hear, “You’d better not be fuckin’ my sister in there.” Deke. While I smile, he’s still going to get a piece of my mind. No one hurts what’s mine. Not even her damn brother.
“Shut it,” I bark out as Emery begins laughing. Pulling out, we put ourselves back together enough, but she still has the fuck me hair. Love it.
Pulling open the door, I get in Deke’s face. Now, Deke is a bad motherfucker, and not many people get in his face. Except I don’t give a shit. “You fuckin’ made her hit her head. Don’t do that shit.”
He chuckles. “Don’t get your panties in a bunch.”
Emery comes up to my side, and I wrap my arm around her. “Oh Jacks, stop it.”
A kiss comes to my cheek, and we back away from Deke.
“Right. Austyn and Bristyl are looking for you,” Deke says to his sister. “Something about an electric slide.”
“Yes!” Emery says, giving me a chaste kiss and then, she’s gone.
“You gonna put a ring on that finger?” Deke asks. It should piss me off, but it doesn’t. He cares about her, and the more people that do the happier I am. Keeping her safe will always be my top priority, no matter the cost to me.
“One day.”
Truthfully, I bought the ring the same time I had her cut made. One day, very soon, we will. She’s my woman, and I’m her man. A fucking ring doesn’t change shit. But not right now. Not here. I want to be at home.
“Better.”
“Will you stop givin’ me shit?” I chide back. We’re actually good friends, but one might not tell from the razzing we give each other. He’s a cool guy when he’s not pissed off. “When you gonna tell everyone about the baby?”
He stills. “Shut the fuck up.” All joking aside he growls.
“Brother, no one’s around. Made sure of it. Wouldn’t do that shit to you.”
“How the fuck do you know?”
I shrug. “I’m observant.”
“Fucker.”
“So? You need to put it out there, brother. Emery will be over the moon, and I can’t keep this shit from her.”
“Tomorrow.”
