“Gladly,” I chuckle, clinking my glass with his.

Just then, there rings through the air the sound of a knife gently tapping a glass. Everyone turns to Ris, standing on a raised platform.

“Hello everyone, I hope we’re all enjoying the party. I’ve been asked to perform by our lovely friends turned mates, so feel free to dance or sing, or of course both. I only ask that we let the new husband and wife take the floor by themselves for this first song.”

Cyra hurries over to me, grabbing my hand before whisking me to the center of the open area. I wrap my hands around her waist as she lays her arms on my shoulders. We slowly begin to sway to the gentle singing of Ris.

“No matter how far you are, just know you and I will always be together in our hearts, yesterday, today and tomorrow, when you’re by my side, you keep me far from sorrow.”

Cyra gazes up at me, planting a small kiss on my lips before laying her head on my chest. We stay like that for a while. All the while, our guests watch on in silence, holding the children in their arms and on their laps.

“Well, I hope you enjoyed that one,” says Ris. “Now then, how about something a little more upbeat? Let’s get our dancing shoes on everyone!”

One by one, people start joining the dance floor as Ris sings a song more upbeat and quicker paced. Cyra and join arms at the elbow, twirling each other about and filling the air with our laughter. I take Colson and Kenji in each of my arms, bouncing them up and down while my wife dances with Sienna.

Soon, Ris joins in on the dancing as everyone sings songs together. As the day goes by, we all get more drunk and fill our bellies with food. The sun begins to set after a few hours, giving off an orange glow before it disappears into the horizon, like a red fire sinking into the grass.

Cyra and I are resting with each other as we take a seat. She lays her head on my shoulder, letting out a sigh of contentment. We’re watching as the others dance together, drunkenly belting out harmonies and solos and occasionally stopping for a wine break. Some of the kids have fallen asleep on the chairs near us.

“I feel like I’m living a dream that I don’t want to take up from,” I say, planting a kiss on Cyra’s forehead.

“You’ll never have to,” she chuckles. “Not for as long as you and I are by each other’s side.”

“I’ve no reason to doubt that, my love. You helped me through my biggest issues, and that’s confirmation enough that you’ll always be there for me.”

“Let’s not forget we’ll have the kids, too. You’ll never be alone.”

I kiss her as Braythe calls out to us.

“Hey lovebirds, get your mated asses over here, we’re about to do another toast!”

Laughing, we join them and take a new glass of champagne in our hands.

“To an amazing couple!”

We drink and sing in delight. As Sienna pulls Cyra aside, Ris nudges me by the elbow.

“Hey man, thanks for all those songs tonight,” I say.

“Oh please, it’s no problem at all. Listen, we all know what every wedding night ends with, right? The end of the night is approaching, so if you want some proper alone time with your mate, Sienna and I can have Colson and Kenji sleep over at ours for the evening.”

This man just read my mind.

“I’ll take you up on that,” I say eagerly.

Taking advantage of his offer, I grab Cyra’s hand. She looks at me, a seductive smile etching across her face. It seems as though she has the same thing on her mind. While everyone dances and drinks, we make a break for the house with the bedroom on our minds.

CYRA

My body is shaking as we make it to the house. All I can think is how much I need Lykan to fuck me.

I can feel his eyes on me as I lead him to the bedroom, his hand tightly gripping mine. We step inside and I immediately turn to face him, pressing my body against his. My lips find his and we kiss hungrily, our tongues exploring each other’s mouths. His hands cup my face as he deepens the kiss, his other hand sliding down to grip my ass and pull me closer to him.

I moan into his mouth as he lifts me up and carries me to the bed, laying me down gently. He hovers over me, his hands running up and down my body, sending shivers down my spine. I reach up to pull him down to me, our lips meeting again in a heated kiss.

Lykan’s hand slides down to the hem of my dress, his fingers tracing along my thigh. I gasp as he pulls the dress up, exposing my panties. He kisses down my neck, nibbling on my skin as he reaches the top of my breasts. His hands move from my thigh to my waist, pulling me up to sit as he tugs the dress over my head, leaving me in just my bra and panties.
