“Are you ready?” Posey asks, entering the living room and looking far too tempting.
“Goddamn, why must you torture me?”
She’s in the prettiest pink dress and brown cowboy boots, hair down in long waves, and silver hoops in her ear.
Pulling her to my chest, I slant my mouth over hers. “You look breathtakin’, love. Any single guys at this thing? Hope not, ’cause I might be tempted to punch ’em if I catch ’em starin’ at you.”
“Well…there might be.” She shrugs playfully. “But they’re all related to me, so you don’t have anythin’ to worry about.”
“Good, even better.” I wink before stealing another kiss.
“We should go so we aren’t late.”
I only tagged along because I was told to, but I mostly sat andwatched the rehearsal. Warren introduced me to everyone I hadn’t met yet and re-introduced me to the ones I had in previous years.
Posey and I decided to keep our distance since there’d be so many eyes on us otherwise. Plus, I wanted her to enjoy being with her family and catching up with them instead of worrying about me.
I’ll steal her back tomorrow night after the reception and make her mine for good.
chapter twenty-one
Posey
Ellie’sone of the most beautiful brides I’ve ever seen. Her golden blonde hair is swept up gracefully underneath a veil and her dress hugs her curves perfectly. But truthfully, it’s Landen everyone was watching.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a man weep so much when he saw his future wife walk down the aisle. His deep love for her could be felt throughout the entire room.
Everyone was in tears when he read his vows and then even more after Ellie read hers. It’s obvious how right they are for each other. She’s more straightforward and driven while he’s adventurous and playful. They complement each other so well in making sure they don’t take life too seriously and remember to have fun too.
Halfway through the reception, I’m three champagne glasses gone. Dinner was delicious and I got to catch up with more cousins and family members. Even though Silas sat next to Warren on the other side of the table, I tried to keep my gazeoff him. But it was hard since I could sense he was staring at me.
He’s more obvious than I am.
But he looks so good in his black slacks and shirt with a matching black cowboy hat. It’s like he’s trying to get me to combust right here in front of everyone.
“Dance with me.” A shiver runs down my spine when Silas’s deep voice echoes in my ear.
“It’s too soon,” I say over my shoulder. “There’s too many people still here.”
“They’re alltensheets to the wind.”
I laugh at his ten sheets joke and mocking me when I was drunk.
“No one’s payin’ attention, baby. C’mon…” He holds out his hand, and I reluctantly take it, glancing from side to side to see if anyone’s watching. But he’s right. Everyone’s drinking or talking in their own circles.
A popular slow song plays and when Silas pulls me into his chest, I wrap my arms behind his neck. His palms grip above my ass, holding firm.
“In case I haven’t told you eight million times tonight, you look stunnin’ in this dress. I’ve had a hard time not starin’ and imaginin’ my tongue lickin’ up that naughty slit on your thigh.”
“Why do you think I wanted to wear it so badly?” I bite my lower lip. “I knew how much you’d wanna rip it off me.”
“Posey…” he growls, pushing his hips into me so I can feel his hardened length. “You better be careful.”
We’ve fooled around nonstop. And it’s been nothing short of amazing. Each time he gives me an orgasm or I give him one is a serotonin shot directly into my brain. But I’m ready for more.
I want to feel those piercings inside me and connect with him in a way I never had before. Silas makes me feel things that are completely new. The constant rush of emotions anytime he’s near. The way my heart feels like bursting when he calls me baby, love, or mama. The wild part inside me that only he’s been able to activate in a way that doesn’t feel wrong or foreign.
My feelings for him get stronger and stronger each day and even if we can’t go public, I don’t want to wait any longer to give all of myself to him.
