Epilogue

~~ LILY ~~

The happiest day of my life to date had taken place about an hour ago.  I’d became Mrs Michael McKenzie in the most beautiful ceremony on his parent’s ranch.

Pippa had organized the caterers after checking with Michael and me about what food we wanted.  She’d done an amazing job and the whole ranch had been transformed.

George had given me away and was looking a lot better since Michael made him rest up.  He was on his third nurse and this one really didn’t take shit, so they got along fine.  He had finally hooked up with Janet, who worked at the hotel where he used to spend his days when he was Michael’s driver.

“Hey, sexy.”

“Sebastian, you look hot,” I replied and gave him a hug.  He really did.  He was wearing a dark grey suit with a black silk shirt and he had all the women from the company drooling. Since he’d taken his jacket off, you could tell how tight his abs were, which I was positive he knew.

He grinned.  “You eyeing me up?”

“Yep.  I’m trying to decide who I need to introduce you to.”

“No, you’re not going to introduce me to….,” he trailed off, “her.”

I looked across and he had gone still, staring at Ramon’s date.  “Ah, Sebastian.”

“Who’s she here with?” he asked, still stunned.  “Lily, who is that bodacious babe with?”

I snickered.  “You did not just call her a bodacious babe?  How old are you?  Seventeen!”

“Trust me, no horny seventeen year old boy would be thinking of doing what I’m thinking of doing to her.”

“Bodacious!” I still couldn’t get over him using that word.

“Bill and Teds.”

“What?”

“Never mind.   You haven’t said who she’s with.”

Crap, he was really taken with her.  This wasn’t going to go down too well.  “You need to keep your cock in your trousers.  She’s here with Ramon.”

I heard a laugh behind us.

~~ MICHAEL ~~

Keep your cock in your trousers.  What the hell was Lily discussing with Sebastian?  Then I noticed the woman he couldn’t take his eyes off.

“How can she be with Ramon?” Sebastian asked, shocked.

I wrapped my wife in my arms and laughed at him.  “Well, I guess our brother is finally serious about someone and Lucien needs to get his facts straight in future.”

“She can’t be with him.  Are you sure?”

I frowned at him.  I’d never known my brother to be upset about a woman being with someone else.  He usually just moved on.

“I’m sorry, but she is,” Lily told him.

She was walking towards us and Sebastian was staring. 

“Hey Lily.  Do you know where Ramon is?” she asked.

“I’m not sure.  Let me introduce you to Sebastian, Michael’s brother.  Sebastian, this is Carla.”

He stood there frozen while he exchanged heated looks with Carla.  I prodded him in the back.

“Carla, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”  He took her hand and kept it in his.  She seemed just as taken.  “Are you really with Ramon?”

That seemed to bring her back to her senses.  She pulled her hand away.  “It’s great to meet you, but I better go and find Ramon.”  She turned tail and walked back towards the marquee.

“I need some fresh air,” Sebastian said, then walked off in the direction of the garage and seemed unaware he was already outside.

Lily turned and wrapped her arms around me then snuggled close.

I had to fight back tears when I’d first caught a glimpse of her walking towards me on George’s arm.  She’d left me breathless.  All my brothers had stood with me and she’d left them all stunned.

Her dress was cream lace and fit her like a glove and, of course, she had killer stilts on her feet.

She looked up at me.  “I love you, Michael, and I’m so glad you married me today, because I have something to tell you, and you can’t get away from me now.”

What the hell?  “Do I really want to know this?”

“Oh Yes.”

“Well get on with it.  You’re killing me.”

“We’re having twins.”
