Chapter 26

Dalton

I saw her walking down the aisle and she couldn’t have been more beautiful. The wedding dress was the same one I had seen her wearing. It was altered to make it easier to move without tripping over her feet.

Grant was standing at the altar wearing a big grin of satisfaction on his face. I had no idea why I was putting myself through this. The pain in my shoulder was nothing compared to the sensation I felt when she told me her decision.

I had interrupted them while they were torturing Grant by going through the window. I felt a sharp piece of glass bury itself in my shoulder.

One shot took down Sanchez and his body lay in the chair with the blood from the bullet trickling down the bridge of his nose. Two more shots and the deed was done. It was over and we spent the day being grilled by the authorities.

This was her wedding day and I wasn’t going to be anyplace else.

The veil was lifted and her face showed exactly what she was feeling in the moment. She looked to Grant and meekly smiled before turning to me. I was getting everything I wanted. The diamonds were no longer going to be an issue. We had a standing arrangement with Tony. The meeting was set for right after the wedding.

“We gather here today in the presence of God to witness this unholy union between two people who have love in their hearts.” Jackson had found a way to be ordained as a minister and was officiating over the ceremony.

“That’s not exactly how it’s supposed to go, but why quibble over details. The result will still be the same.” I was poking fun at him and I forgot he wasn’t prone to taking jokes well.

“I believe the bride and groom have written their own vows.” I had done no such thing, but he was purposely putting me on the spot for his own selfish amusement.

“Gillian, we have been through a lot and I hope this is only the start of our adventure together. Life is nothing without you by my side. Time stands still when I look into your eyes. It’s never going to be boring. Let’s begin this new journey with our eyes wide open.” I continued my spiel and found my stride until finally, it was her time to speak.

“I’m never going to take my eyes off of you again. If I could, I would have you chained up in the basement. Your strength is nothing compared to the gentle way you touch me deeply. I have only eyes for you. Kiss me already.” We made out and I could hear the hushed voices of those behind us witnessing this display.

He pronounced us man and wife with our lives forever entwined. We raced down the aisle with our friends pelting us with rice. We gave them the customary wave and we got into the limousine on our way to a private winter oasis.

Grant met us at the car. There was an awkward moment where I thought I might have to go a few rounds with him.

“It has been one hell of a ride. He saved my life. I don’t think I would have done the same thing in his shoes. He is a better man than I am. I hope you find the happiness you deserve. Gillian, I will always be your friend, but I think it’s time for me to find myself. My father made me the driven bastard I was, but he’s gone now. I can finally find my own voice. The sky is the limit.” He was freed from the shackles of his family obligation. He looked younger and more at peace with himself.

“I haven’t seen you this happy in a long time. It looks good on you. I want you to stay in touch with me. I would really love to know what is next for you. I have this feeling you will find what you are looking for.” She hugged him and they shared a silent moment with me standing there looking a little out of place.

He finally let her go and they had rekindled the friendship that he had corrupted.

“We both know she could do better. Treat her right and give her the chance to fly free. Don’t be too quick to argue with her. It’s been my personal experience it’s a losing battle.” His loss of his father was the best thing that could have happened to him.

“You’re not telling me anything I don’t already know. I have seen for myself how stubborn she can be. I will learn to compromise to keep the peace.” I shook his hand, but we knew that being friends was a work in progress. We both loved her in different ways.

We were barely out of the parking lot before I was tearing into her wedding gown with my teeth. I ducked my head underneath and found her panties sticking to her flesh like a second skin. I peeled it out of the way to see her enthusiastic response glistening in my eager eyes.

“You are absolutely incorrigible. I’m not complaining.” I spread her legs and found her opening to my gaze like a blooming rose. I traced one finger down to her slick opening ready for the insertion of my tongue.

I couldn’t see her face, but I could hear her reaction when I infiltrated the heated confines of her sex. I pricked the opening with the tip of my tongue to taste the ambrosia of her juices. I invaded her personal space and made her lift her legs until her feet were pressed up against the ceiling.

“I love that I can’t see what you’re doing.” She was stumbling over her words and it felt like I was living in the shoes of another.

It was a generous gift of Grant to let her find the happiness she deserved. I had saved his life and he was so grateful that he couldn’t say no to our impending nuptials. I was caught off guard when she got down on one knee to propose with the very ring I had told her to keep. It was cheesy, but it was a proposal I was never going to forget.

“I can’t breathe under here.” I struggled to extricate myself from drowning in taffeta and lace.

“I hope you don’t intend to stop what you are doing.” I took a deep breath and forged ahead with my tongue securely embedded within her.

I heard her moaning and it encouraged me to retrieve my tongue. It lashed forward touching her clit before I sealed my lips over it. I drove two agile digits into her quivering walls. She was twisting in place, groaning with satisfaction and letting loose with a litany of profanity to make a grown sailor blush.

“I fucking love it. You god damn bastard…you really do know what you’re doing down there. It’s a fucking relief to have our past no longer haunting us. Yes… Yes…give me more and don’t stop until I scream.” She had nothing to fear and I wasn’t leaving until I heard the magic words coming from her mouth.

I put enough suction on her engorged clit to draw the pronounced bud along my lips. I could feel the way that her body was thrusting against my face. Her juices seared my lips and the taste flowing freely over my tongue was hard to discourage.

I continued on the same course facing the inevitable orgasm about to spray with intensity. She came with a heavy discharge. It took a moment for me to find a way to persevere. I kept my lips locked to her spurting hole.

She was pounding her feet into the ceiling and lifting her body with every muscle controlled by the orgasm seething through her. She finally held her spastic body in the air and then dropped with a rush of deep exhalation.

I emerged from underneath what was left of her dress holding her panties in my teeth. I shook them back and forth while growling like I was an animal.

“I have to say that you do perform on a different level than others. I meant it when I said I wasn’t going to let you out of my sight. There’s no way I’m ever going to let another woman get close enough to find out what I already know. You are the best lover. You’re very attentive and you don’t give up easily. I believe that’s something we have in common.” She grabbed me by the shoulders and had me lying there looking up at her.

“I’ve never met anybody quite like you. A woman should know how to please their man. You do that and a whole lot more.” I was only telling her what was in my heart, but her mind was focused on something else.

She found the poking evidence of my arousal. Taking it out wasn’t easy, but she wasn’t going to take no for an answer. Her fingers touching my shaft awakened a new understanding of what it was like to be in the presence of an angel. I knew the devil was there somewhere lurking waiting for its horns to come out at the right time.

“You are the one that brings it out in me. I’m always looking for new ways to surprise you. I will never give up.” She slapped me lightly across the face and pulled my hair to get my mouth on her nipples through the dress. I was biting through the fabric and she was arching her chest to give me the proper incentive.

I pulled down the bodice to expose her naked chest to my gaze. Her nipples found their way one after the other into my mouth. I could feel her hand on me and how close I was to the gates of her pleasure. She was making the knob shine with her creamy discharge running down the shaft in three different places.

I had my hands on her hips and I drove her down the inflexible pole. I began to lift her and could feel the slippery lips of her excitement. She caressed every single inch down to my heavy-laden balls. She was soaking my pants and no doubt could feel the metal zipper against her bare flesh.

Her hands were on my shoulders and her eyes had this glaze of hungry determination. I kept slamming her back down hard enough to hear our flesh smacking together. She was letting me pull her strings, but I was well versed in what made her cry with orgasmic animation.

The frequency of my thrusts began to increase in tempo. I was watching her expression and feeding on the words coming out of her mouth pushing me into a different gear. I was pressing down on the accelerator and soon had her on her back giving the springs of the limousine more than they were anticipating.

I was hammering the nail of my indulgence into her. She was squealing with avid delight. There was no way she could possibly know how far I was willing to go to make her happy. It was a slow burn to the finish line, but the grunt of acceptance was followed by a creamy discharge. It boiled up inside me and came out with the kind of intensity to leave us both breathless with abandon.

“Dalton, I couldn’t be any happier than I am right now.” We had the limousine drive us to the location where Tony was going to meet us for the exchange.

He wasn’t there and neither were Melanie and Jackson. There was a black box on the table at the bar we had chosen for the meeting. I looked at Gillian and I felt my chest tighten with apprehension.

“It’s not going to open itself.” I knew she was right.

I flipped the lid and found a letter addressed to the both of us. I read it quickly and dropped it.

“What does it say?” I couldn’t say the words. She took it upon herself to pick it up and read it out loud.

“We decided that Melanie and I deserved better than this. We took the diamonds and made the deal with Tony. While I was marrying you, Melanie was able to get her hands on the diamonds you both had in your possession. We left you a small portion of the profits for the roles you played in ambushing the estate. No hard feelings.” We should have known they couldn’t be trusted.

The profits they had mentioned were in the excess of $500,000 between us. It was nothing compared to what they were sitting on. We were upset, but Gillian took the sting out of it by announcing her pregnancy. I didn’t need money to be happy. I knew how to invest and that $500,000 would grow with big dividends.
