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
“Always, Mr Hoult,” I reply, and we walk into the reception hall together. Cole pulls me to the dance floor and wraps his arms around me as Amazed by Lonestar starts playing while we dance. I gaze up into his eyes while he sings the lyrics to me, and as happy I was at that moment, I had a sudden flash of all the heartache we both suffered, the breakdowns, the arguments, and how close we came to not being together. Cole brushes the tears away that roll down my cheeks and pulls me closer against him shaking his head at me.“No more tears, sweetheart.” I smile up at him and nod while we continue to sway together. “Baby, I’m amazed by you.” Cole sings to me as the song comes to an end.“Let’s party!” Aimee cheers as an upbeat song starts to play, and we all dance together. I pull Cole to me and sing the lyrics to Katy Perrys The One That Got Away to him. “In another life, I would be your girl. We keep all ou
“In the summer of 2019, a handsome boy met the most beautiful girl in a club, they danced, they got drunk and somehow ended up on a plane to Vegas where they got married and thus began their whirlwind love story…” An excited new Dad tells his baby girl as he rocks her back and forth while she’s curled up in his arms.10 months before…After their beautiful, very untraditional ceremony at the Little Chapel in Vegas and their reception at the stunning Bellagio Hotel, an impatient Cole all but drags a tipsy Shayla up to their suite, where it all began. The newlywed couple makes their way out of the elevator, kissing passionately after waiting weeks to make love to one another so their wedding night would be special. Cole carries Shayla to the bedroom and sets her down on her feet. He looks into his wife’s beautiful jade eyes while she gazes up at him adoringly. At that very moment, his heart swells with all the love he has for her, and he couldn’t help but f
Cole kept good on his promise— and worshiped her, he did. Taking his sweet time kissing every inch of her body, caressing her, sucking, and biting her tight nipples, making her gasp and arch up, pushing her breast up, requesting further contact, silently telling him what she needs and he obeyed. Cole was paying attention to her every movement, her every sound. Shayla shudders when he licks her mound sluggishly, circling the tip of his tongue; using his fingers, he spreads her cleft, revealing her clit, and circles the tip of his tongue over it lightly. Shayla quakes, curling her fingers in his hair. “Ohhhh baby, I love it when you do that.” She moans breathily while rocking her hips slowly. Cole continues to glide his tongue lightly over her clit, loving every second of watching the muscles in her stomach convulse with every flick of his tongue. “Uhhhh yes…” Shayla whimpers when he sucks her hard and slides a finger deep inside her, stroking her g-spot, bringing her close to that sw
The next morning Shayla woke up wrapped up in her husband’s arms. She lay still admiring his handsome face and sighs contently. She kisses his soft lips and pulls back a little when he smiles against her lips. Cole moans and pulls her back to kiss him again—which she does—dropping soft little pecks on his lips. “Mm, promise me you’ll wake me up like this every morning.” Cole whispers and Shayla smiles fondly.“I promise, baby.” She whispers as Cole pulls her on top of him and looks up into her eyes, his fingers combing through her dark tresses.“As much as I would love to stay in bed naked with you all day, we’ve got a honeymoon to get too,” Cole tells her, and Shayla smiles.“You still haven’t told me where we're going?”Cole grins and kisses down her throat. “Cancun.” Shayla pulls back and looks down at him wide-eyed.“Cancun?” She asks, surprised, and Cole nods, smiling up at her. “Mexico, Cancun?!”Cole laughs, amused, “Honey, there’s on
