As Cole and I had expected, our reconciliation made the headlines once again. Aimee came running into my bedroom the next day with Jo hot on her heels. They threw themselves onto my bed, waking me up from a very peaceful slumber.
“Bish! Wake up! You’re all over the fucking internet!” Aimee shrieks bouncing up and down on my bed. I groan and pull the covers over my head, but Jo yanks it back down and flicks my nose.
“Get up, you lazy moo. You have to see this!” Jo chirps excitedly, shoving her tablet in my face. I blink and look at the photo of Cole and I kissing in the middle of the street after I jumped into his arms. I smile when my heart flutters wildly in my chest. There are various other images of me running toward the church and then Cole running out of the church. The headline at the top read:
Nations Sweethearts, Tristan Hoult and Shayla Hart have Reunited!
“Nation’s sweethearts?” I utter with a roll
I lick my lips slowly and lock my gaze with his as I trail my finger down the side of his face. “This may just be a pretty face to most, but it’s my seat, and you best believe I’ll be riding it till I’m crying out your name over and over again,” I tell him, and he groans throatily, swallowing hard.“By all means, hop right on...” He whispers, brushing his nose over mine. “I’m going to ravish you.” He growls impatiently while sliding his hands up my thighs under my skirt. “I’m going to fuck you so hard you won’t be able to walk straight for days.” I pucker up my lips and blow him a kiss as I pull away.“You better.” I purr with a wink as I walk to the door, deliberately swaying my hips while he watches my bum avidly.“Christ, Shayla.” He mumbles as I walk away and falls back on the bed with a frustrated sigh.Back in the kitchen, the girls and I disc
“God baby, the things I want to do to you,” Cole whispers, his voice dripping in sex while he takes my ear lobe between his teeth and runs his tongue against it teasingly, sending a mass of delicious shivers up and down my spine. I moan quietly when I feel his fingers brush up under my shirt, it was the barest of touches, but it honestly drove me crazy with need. We haven’t had sex since Dubai, and as always, the tension between us was electric, and when you throw forbidden lust to the mix, you’ve got a highly, sexually frustrated couple on your hands. “Look what you’re doing to me.” Cole groans lowly into my ear, pushing his hips into mine so I could feel his hard length.“Is it bad that I can’t look away,” Aimee whispers, her cheeks turning pink, and Josh snickers, drawing her against him and dropping a kiss on her pulse point.“Oh my God, I’m single as fuck.” Jo grumbles, stuffing gummies
“Don’t do that,” He hisses, his voice strained. “You know what it does to me when you speak to me in Spanish.”“Te quiero mucho, Papi,” I breathe teasingly, telling him I want him in Spanish while brushing my lips along his face. “Estoy loca por ti, mi amor.”“Fuck.” He moans, grinding himself against me. “Shayla, baby, please, my dick is about to burst. Either fuck me or behave.” He pleads, and I pull back.“Lo siento, mi amor.” I apologise, and Cole shakes his head and walks out of the kitchen, muttering to himself. “Hey, where are you going?” I chuckle.“To have a wank!” Cole grumbles, joking, and I throw my head back and laugh. I love teasing him so much. He’s just so adorable when he’s frustrated. I cannot wait to marry him.Everyone was so happy around us that I was terrified something awful was going to happen. I gues
After we check into our hotel rooms, Cole and I obviously weren’t allowed to share a room till our wedding night; much to his dismay, Cole was sharing a suite with Josh, and I was sharing one with the girls.My brother was due to arrive later on to join the boys for the bachelor party. I was still so upset that my Mum wasn’t going to be with me on my wedding day physically, but she’ll be there virtually so she won’t miss anything.Cole and Josh go off together to do the last-minute wedding checks while the girls and I hit the spa for a day of pampering before the bachelorette party in the evening. “Girls, I still can’t believe I’m in Vegas and Shay is getting married. It seems so surreal.” Jo says, sipping her cucumber and mint water while she snuggles into the lounger she was relaxing on with her green face mask and cucumbers on each eye.I sigh, closing my eyes while getting my manicure. “I know, I feel lik
We leave the hotel and get into the limo waiting for us outside with bottles of champagne. “Driver, crank up the music!” Aimee shouts, handing me a glass of champagne. “To Shayla and Cole!” She toasts, holding up her glass, I smile, and we all clink glasses.Nights out in Vegas was something else. The atmosphere was just incredible. We walked into the club and were shown to our VIP booth with so much alcohol I honestly wanted to throw up just looking at it. It was going to be a messy night, that’s for sure. One too many shots of tequila and sambuca later, I was well and truly drunk. The show was about to start. Aimee and Jo squeal excitedly when the ‘Magic Mike’ dancers come out on the stage. I literally felt like I was in the movie, it was incredible, and the guys were all hotter than each other.“We’ve got some hot men in the U.K, but American boys just hit differently. Damn!” Jo shouts, watching the boys gr
“Cole! Get your arse up and out of that bed!” I leap out of my sleep and groan when my head thumps unpleasantly.“Ow.” I groan, holding my head. “What the fuck.” I blink up and see Josh standing over me once my vision clears.“Bro, Shayla’s gone! Get up!” It took a second for his words to reach my brain. I look up at him with a scowl.“Gone?” I recite my voice hoarse from a night of partying.“She took off, man! She saw you kissing some girl last night at the club, and she took off.” I scowl up at him and dart out of bed. “I tried to stop her, but she just wouldn’t listen.”“What?!” I shout, glancing around the room, confused. I don’t remember kissing anyone last night. What the fuck! “Who did I kiss? What the fuck happened, man?!” I yell, not even caring about my thumping headache. My heart was racing like mad. Oh God, plea
“How are you feeling?”I smile and look at myself in the full-length mirror and look at Aimee and Jo standing on either side of me. “Nervous. My stomach is in knots. But it’s a good nervous; I’m anxious to see him already.” I say, and they smile and lay their heads on my shoulders.“You’re the most beautiful bride I’ve ever seen,” Jo sighs, her eyes watering.“No!” Aimee exclaims, waving her hands in my face. “No crying… no crying, we don’t have time to do your make up again.”“Can you try to call my mum again?” I utter, glancing around for my phone.“I did, like two minutes ago. She didn’t answer, babe. She might be sleeping still—time difference and all.” Aimee tells me, and I sigh, closing my eyes. I hate that she’s not here with me.“Maybe,” I whisper, looking at myself again. After trying
“Let’s get to the vows. Shayla, ladies first.”I exhale and look into Cole’s eyes. “Cole, I never believed in fate until I met you. I never knew what it meant to love someone with your soul until you walked into my life. We’ve been through so much in such a short time, and as much as it hurt, I would do it all again in a heartbeat because you are my fate, you are my heart, and you are my soul. I swear to you here in front of all the people we love that I will love you forever.” I vow to him, tears spilling down my cheeks, and he swallows hard, blinking back the tears that gather in his eyes.He smiles and holds my gaze, “My beautiful Shayla, I’m in awe of you. I don’t know how you do it, but you do something that makes me fall deeper in love with you every day. I wish I had met you sooner. I wish I loved you sooner because you are everything beautiful in this world. You were the complete opposite of everything
