Chapter 20

SKYLAR

 

"Talon did we just get married?"

I'd dragged her away from the gaggle of clucking hens that is my female relatives. If you think the guys are merciless in their teasing then you have yet to meet the likes of nonna and Olivia Avery. I didn't even know my own mother thought like that and my sisters, forget it. I have to remember to have a talk with my brother about his wife.

Right now Skye's looking at me like I'm a foreign species, I think the shock was finally wearing off.

"Yep, we sure did." I wasn't expecting the slug to the arm that followed my reply.

"Hey babe what the hell?"

"Are you insane? how could we be married we only just met, what if we hate each other, what if the past few weeks have just been a fluke and you wake up tomorrow morning and realize you've made the biggest mistake of your life? oh my word I'm going to be a teenage divorcee."

"Babe your cheese fall off your cracker or something what the hell were you women talking about in there anyway?"

"And that's another thing what's with the millions of dollars worth of jewelry are you insane?"

I was busy getting undressed while she had her mini meltdown because no matter what at the end of this tirade I was taking my wife to bed. Fuck that felt good; my wife, she was going on and on about Robin egg sized diamonds and I was down to pants and nothing else. I walked over to her, took her beautiful fucking amazing face in my hands and shut her up with my tongue. She seemed to melt into me; I loved that shit, loved knowing that I could do that to her because she sure as fuck did it to me.

"You calm now babydoll? because I could do this all night."

She rested her head against my chest and took a deep breath.

"Talon you make me crazy."

"Nah babe I think maybe you were a little touched before I came along I just didn't realize it. It was those eyes of yours; you zapped me with one look and then the Avery legend kicked in and my ass was toast."

"But what if the legend was wrong what if you misunderstood something?"

"Yeah sure, I misunderstood my dick and my heart moving in tandem."

"Your dick always reacts to a pretty face." She had jokes.

"That might've been true but it never did shit for my heart, now you own both so let's get your paranoia out of the way so we can get on with the wedding night, and since you just took a few years off my life with your bullshit you better add some new tricks to the mix."

I knew talking to her like that would work to sidetrack her from her trip down crazy street.

"What new tricks? we've done pretty much everything there is to do haven't we, I mean what else is there for you to violate?"

"I can think of a few things."

"Oh no you don't mister the last time you said that I almost put my back out."

"Come on baby it wasn't that bad and besides you enjoyed it."

She blushed and hid her face against me again; always so shy and sweet I hope she never loses that, that nothing in this life ever robs her of that innocence that I loved so much. My fucking wife.

"Talon you ass put me down."

"No never." I twirled her around the room making her giggle out loud and fling her arms in the air like the reigning champ.

"That's right baby we win."
