Art of Forgiveness (A Stern Family Saga Book 2) by Monique Orgeron (51)

Epilogue

Avery

We decided that night we wanted to get married right away. We told everyone, and my mother begged us to have the wedding at her house. She says she wants some good memories to replace the bad. We couldn’t refuse, plus we loved the grounds there. The only thing was that we asked for it to be arranged in less than two months. My mother with Catherine’s help worked their magic and made it happen.

Today is our wedding day, everything looks so magical. We’re having the ceremony at night. The grounds are breathtaking, with all the oak trees lit up with lights. I walk out of the house in my blush colored wedding dress. It has a lace bodice with three-quarter lace sleeves and a full satin skirt. My mother insisted I wear something that made me look like a princess. I wasn’t sure until I tried it on, and for the first time, she’s right. I look and feel like a princess. But I made her agree that for the reception I’m going to wear an all-lace spaghetti strap bohemian style dress. It’s also in a blush color, but it’s light and airy, perfect for the hot nights we have in the south.

Between my mom and Catherine, we have hundreds of people invited to the wedding. I asked James to walk me down the aisle. He’s more my father than anyone. I invited Lucy and Phil to come as a couple to the wedding. Phil's family are also here. Catherine says we need to keep that relationship flowing. Fallon is my maid of honor, and Lucy is my bridesmaid. Liam has Zander as best man since Liam won the fight in being Gavin’s godfather, but really Zander and Vin gave it to him. Not saying Liam can’t fight, but they didn’t even try. They all got in the ring and threw their gloves down and said it was only right that Liam be his godfather if I was the godmother. Gabriel and Vin are also serving in the wedding at his side.

Now on the stage, the priest announces us as husband and wife. Liam bends me backward for a kiss, and the audience goes wild. We run down the aisle, and Liam keeps going, dragging me behind him. Before I know it, he runs us all the way to our tree.

He tells me, “This is where it all began the first night. That night I knew you were mine, I was in this tree. Tonight, years later, we’re married. I love you, Avery, but there were several nights I jerked off in this tree. Tonight, I want to fuck my wife against it.”

He has a blanket stashed by the tree trunk. He wraps the blanket around my back and shoulders. He claims it is to protect my dress. Before I know what’s happening, he has my full skirt raised up and my legs wrapped around his waist. When he enters me, I yell out, “You need to be quiet, baby. We don’t want anyone knowing we’re here.”

He doesn’t stop as he tells me, so I have to bite into his shoulder not to yell again. He starts kissing me to smother out my cries as he keeps thrusting. It’s incredible the way he takes me. I love it. I start cumming as I hear someone.

“Liam? Avery? Is that y’all?”

Liam whispers in my ear, “Fuck, it’s Zander. I can’t stop, baby.”

“Don’t stop, Liam, don’t you dare stop.”

“Well, well, what do we have here?”

Zander finds us with my legs wrapped around Liam.

“Turn around, Zander, and leave now!” Liam hollers at Zander but never stops thrusting into me. Zander turns around but doesn’t leave. “Shit.”

Zander’s laughing and says, “Both of the moms are looking for the two of you. You better hurry, brother, or next it will be them finding y’all.”

He starts to walk off just as I start to cum again. I’m moaning out loud, and Liam is still thrusting when Zander comes back and asks, “What the hell is it with your obsession with this tree lately?”

Liam isn’t saying anything, so I stutter out, “Liam and this tree have a very close and personal history. Now leave, Zander!”

I hear him laughing all the way back to the reception.

We finish, and Liam smooths my dress back down and straightens his tie and suit. We walk back, hand in hand to our guests, and pictures are taken. Then I change into my second dress. The reception is a blast, not stuffy at all, like what I had assumed my mom would make it. When it’s time for me to throw my bouquet, I throw it directly to Lucy as she and Phil blush. When it’s time for the garter, Theo leads me to Liam and sits me in a chair. Liam makes a show at biting and dragging it down my leg. Liam then throws it directly to Zander, who doesn’t even try for it. He watches as it bounces off his big chest and falls to the floor. He then proceeds to walk off, leaving it right where it landed. However, Phil swoops in and picks it up and proudly shows it to Lucy. The night continues all the way until the early morning.

All the family, including Theo, are sitting down exhausted when Zander gets a phone call. After his call is finished, he says, “That was my guy watching Murphy. He says Murphy has a son, Murphy Jr. Have you ever heard of him, Mom?”

She tells him, “No, but we need to find out more. See if he can get any more information on this Murphy Jr.”

Zander leaves the table to make the call.

Liam and I decide to call it a night, we kiss and hug everyone goodbye. We left on our honeymoon to Paris. I’m going to leave this part out. I don’t think it needs to be discussed. Let’s just say it was fun and educational.

When we arrive back from our glorious honeymoon in Paris, we move into Liam’s condo. But he slowly notices how much I miss being in a busy house with the baby and everyone. Liam decides we are going to move back into the big house with everyone. Gabriel says it was fine with him as long as they remodel the whole floor. They both say at the same time, “Soundproofing.” Fallon and I agree.

Life being Mrs. Avery Stern is fantastic. Catherine immediately puts me to work. First, she and Fallon fill me in on what was going on. I’m shocked to find out all the girls, with Leo and Chris are prostitutes but realize after meeting them I’m fine with the idea. Catherine and Liam also inform me of the rest of the businesses they operate. Again, I’m a little shocked, but I love Liam, so I accept it all and love him more for sharing everything with me.

* * *

Months have passed and today is our family day. I am sitting on the floor with my godson playing, while Catherine and everyone watches. We’re all enjoying ourselves when Zander comes into the house.

“Well I finally found Murphy Larussa Jr. We have a problem though; Murphy Larussa Jr. is not a Junior at all. He is a she, and she wants nothing to do with our family, or even me.”

He sits down, looking so confused and lost in the fact that he said she wants nothing to do with him. Has Zander finally met a woman who is immune to his charms and looks? Fallon and I look at each other. She winks, and we know we are both thinking the same thing. We cannot wait to meet this woman.

THE END
