My lips found his, and I kissed him as if my entire life depended on it; as if my heart couldn’t bear being away from him for a second longer. My wolf was practically hopping up and down at the fact that we were finally with our mate and she wasn’t going to let him go any time soon.
He tried to deepen the kiss, his tongue asking for permission to enter my mouth<b>, </b>but I needed to say thisst part before things got too far.
I put my hands on his chest, giving him a gentle push to stop the kiss from escting further. Reluctantly, he pulled his lips from mine, but kept his forehead pressed against mine. Our breaths mingling with one another as
we fought <b>to </b>catch our breath.
“Yes, Gavin…” I whispered, my eyes meeting his. “I’ll marry you.
Without another word, he once again closed the distance, his lips were on mine before I could take another breath. This time, when his tongue asked for permission, I granted it. I parted my lips and allowed him to take his fill of me. He pulled me so tightly against im I thought I might fuse into his body.
I let out a soft moan, the electric feeling of my mate almost too much to handle. He lifted me up and sat me on the railing over the edge. I wasn’t afraid, though; I knew Gavin would never allow anything to happen to me. He held me with a tenderness that made me melt.
The softness of his tongue in my mouth made
my core gush as I wrapped my legs around his waist<b>, </b>holding me to my bod his delicate fingers grazing up my thighs, pushing my dress up with it, and then I felt his fingers tucking into the linings of panties.
He broke his kiss from mine to kiss down the nape of my neck, paying extra attention to the mark on my neck.
I shivered against him, loving how he made me feel.
I wanted him… I wanted him so badly.
But here was not the right time or ce to have him, and I was painfully made aware of that whenughter broke through my hazy thoughts. I could hear the distant sounds of the reception happening. They were outside now, though they couldn’t see us from where we were. I knew Nan and Chester were getting ready to leave for the first time as a married couple, and that was something I did not want to miss.
“Gavin, we have to go,” I said, breathlessly as I put my hands on his chest.
??
“A few more minutes,” he murmured, nipping at my earlobe. “I want to
make love to my
future wife.”
Iughed against him, not fighting him, but also not participating anymore.
“Nan and Chester are about to leave, and I want to say goodbye,” I told him. “We can continue where we left offter.”
He groaned, but he didn’t argue. He nted onest kiss on the nape of my neck before pulling back, gazing down at me with so much love and admiration that it nearly brought me to my knees.
“You’re right,” he sighed. “I don’t want you to resent me for making you miss their departure.”
He leaned down and kissed the bridge of my nose.
“But first,” he said, opening the ring box back up and taking it out “Let me see your finger.”
“Is this wise? Getting engaged at my best friend’s wedding is one thing… but showing off a ring during her big day?” I asked, nibbling at the corner of my lip.
“I’m not hiding this, Judy<” he told me, his eyes finding mine. “<b>I </b>want the world to know that you are not only my mate, but my future wife as well. We don’t have to make an announcement, but want my ring on your finger.”
I blushed at his words as I presented my hand to him. He slid the ring on my finger, and I was shocked to find that it was the perfect fit. <b>It </b>glistened under the moonlight and made tears well up in my eyes again.
<b>1/3 </b>
Before they could fall, Gavin cupped my face in his hands, and he wiped the invisible tears away.
“No more crying,” he whispered. “I want nothing but smiles going forward, My Moon.”
I smiled up at him and stood on my toes to press my lips to his.
“I love you so much,” I whispered.
He smiled against my lips before taking his hand into mine.
“Now, let’s go wave farewell
to
your friends SO I can take you home and devour every
inch
