“What caterers?” Sandra asked with a frown.“Creighton insisted that we have supper catered, since so much was already happening. Sometimes I admire how people jump when he calls.”“He has a way of making things happen,” Sandra said with a wide smile.“You have no idea,” William assured her with a warm chuckle, sounding much like his son as he walked out the door with Papa to talk with Clark.The group eagerly stepped into the large black limousine. Everyone except for Sandra was dressed for the wedding. Emma insisted the bride dress at the church to prevent her gown from becoming soiled, so she remained dressed in her yellow sundress, minus her panties. Papa and William were dressed in black tuxedos, yellow vests and ties, while Nana and Emma wore matching dresses of dark orange. Mandy and Traci Ann were in ruffled yellow and white dresses while Spencer wore a black and yellow tuxedo, like his uncles and grandfather. Sandra couldn’t help but smile. Creighton knew she liked the color
“The police found your jewelry yesterday and released your belongings back to you. Creighton arranged to have your mother’s earrings delivered here in time for you to wear,” Emma explained as the young woman slipped the diamonds into her lobes.“There’s something else,” Kristin said with a warm smile. Blinking away the moisture, Sandra glanced down at the box to the silver chain with a single teardrop-shaped sapphire, surrounded by a circle of diamonds.“Something old,” Nana began. “That would be your mother’s earrings. Something new would be your beautiful dress.”“Something borrowed,” Emma said pinning a diamond and gold floral design brooch onto her shoulder. “This was my mother’s. I wore it on my wedding day as she did on hers.”“And something blue,” Nana said, looking at the necklace her granddaughter fastened around her throat.“We need to get this show on the road,” Kristin said, struggling to stand back up. “The flowers are outside in the foyer and the men are ready in the cha
PREVIEW“If I had a brain, I would have sent you back to Kansas. At least you would have been safe there.” Sandra snorted a half laugh and leaned into him, caressing his cheek with the tips of her fingers.“You do remember where I lived, right?” she asked him. “Kansas is part of Tornado Alley. Trust me, a few displaced animals and a couple of threats are nothing compared to what I grew up with. I know things are crazy right now, but it will get better. The worst thing I could have done was leave you.” Creighton smiled, or attempted to, but he knew it was because of his past that she was in harm’s way now.“Listen to me,” she continued. “You told me once, if I left you, I took everything you have of worth. You said I would take your heart and your soul. Do you still feel the same way?”“More today than the day I told you,” he said, the twinkle in his dark eyes told her the love was still there, only hidden behind a wall of fear.“You’ve always told me to trust you, well I still do. I
Creighton and Sandra stood silently on the steps of the church, hand-in-hand while Chang instructed Miing to arrange the wedding party for photos. It had been a wonderful ceremony, and Sandra was very happy that her new husband insisted it be recorded, because she wasn’t sure if she could remember everything that happened. Her mind was racing, her heart was pounding, and she acted methodically, repeating word for word what Reverend Keller told her, though she wasn’t sure if she had spoken them in the proper order.“One last picture,” Creighton insisted, sighing deeply as he looked at Sandra. They had been standing on the steps for nearly forty minutes, moving this way and that, having their picture taken with this family member and then another, with his parents and then with Nana and Papa, siblings, wedding party, Reverend Keller and finally alone as a couple. The limousine was parked at the curb with Clark behind the wheel and Harvey standing nearby watching silently. Creighton an
“Not a single one,” she smiled. “I am extremely happy you are a perverted stalker, and I’m thrilled I won your contest.” “Ever think about where we would be now if I had been able to make your acquaintance two years ago?” he asked her, kissing her lips gently, setting free the tingles to travel along her nerve endings.“Things happen for a reason.” Sandra closed her eyes as he kissed her cheek and the corner of her mouth, feeling the heat of desire waking inside her. She lifted her chin, so he had further access to her neck and throat, giggling when he leaned into her, pressing her against the back of the seat. Creighton branded her delicate skin with the touch of his hot mouth, sending the familiar sensations surging through her veins like melting chocolate, warming and enticing her until she moaned softly.“I can’t wait to get you alone,” he whispered in her ear, his large hand cupping her swollen breast through the material of her wedding gown and bustier.“I have a secret,” she
The feelings of desire began to grow again. She knew it wouldn’t be long before they were both experiencing the joy of orgasm. No sooner had she thought it, then it happened, the thrusting grew more urgent, quicker, harder, deeper as the fullness of him inside her began to grow thicker, taking her over the edge once more. She clung to his shoulders, pulling him down to lie on top of her as she cried out his name, feeling the overwhelming dizziness embrace her once again. Creighton joined in her release, pinning her slender frame to the seat with his weight, growling savagely next to her ear while he spilled his hot seed inside her.They lay there for a few minutes, panting, until Creighton slowly lifted onto his elbows, smiling down into the face of the woman he adored. The love he had for her shined in his eyes and Sandra could not resist smiling back. Her heart felt full, and she wanted him to know how much she loved him, but words alone couldn’t express the depth of her feelings.“
Sandra laughed at the childish expression on his face then turned, following him into the living room and watched as he removed his jacket and tossed it across the back of the sofa. “Do we really have to go back to your parents’ place?” she asked, feeling extremely tired and eager to get out of the layers of clothing.“The day’s catching up to you, isn’t it?” “You have no idea,” she groaned, collapsing to the sofa and kicking her shoes off.“My mum is making brunch for everyone tomorrow, so we have to go back around eleven, but we can have tonight all to ourselves,” he told her, sitting down next to her. “Why don’t you go start a tub and I’ll join you in a few minutes? I need to call and let Mum and Dad know we aren’t coming back.” Sandra sighed, nodding as she stood. She knew she would need a little relaxing in order to have the energy for their wedding night and whatever wicked, delightful ideas her husband had planned. Creighton kissed her briefly and swatted her bottom with one
Creighton smiled, positioning her across his erect penis and pulled her down against him, sliding easily into her hot, wet entrance. He held her around the hips as he slammed against her, almost barbarically. Water splashed over the sides of the tub and onto the floor. Several long breathless moments passed before she surrendered and came again, hearing his low growl as he joined her, his hot seed filling her tight canal. Her body clenched around his hard shaft, taking and accepting all that he offered.Breathless, Sandra collapsed back against his chest. Her head rested on his shoulder as she listened to their conjoined pants. It was a brief encounter, but erotic nevertheless and more passionate than she would have expected in such a short time.“You are getting braver,” he whispered against the side of her head. “I’ve never heard you order me like that before.”“I feel brave,” she told him with a smile. “Maybe it’s the new title, or maybe it’s the ring, but I feel invincible.”“Did
