Seducing Texas (So not Prince Charming #2)(73)
“You’re in no condition to drive that chopper,” Timmons says.
Shane laughs. “I’ve got precious cargo, and I wouldn’t do anything to hurt my fiancée.” He grins.
“You’re getting married?” Willa asks giddily. “I want to be your maid of honor.”
I carefully loop my arms around Shane’s neck to gently kiss him above the split on his chin. Damn he even looks undeniably appealing all tore up. “Alright.”
“You’re mine now,” he says only to me, sending delightful shivers up my spine. “And I’m never letting you escape.”
Chapter Cyn
The DA reduced Dad’s sentence to ten years, so he could get out in eight. Juarez is happy with the results and occasionally texts me. Wong and Manny are dead and out of his way. Juarez sent me two-dozen roses for killing Wong, which only enraged Shane. He’s fully recovered, and I’m standing by my sister as her widowed matron of honor while Willa stands beside me in these god-awful yellow princess-cut dresses that Shane took great pleasure in laughing at.
Yet I couldn’t be happier. Fay has found her Prince Charming in Tanner, not the man I ever imagined for her. He and Shane bought our old ranch for all of us, so once again we’re having a wedding where Mom has been reburied and can watch over us. We set her back among her roses, and it makes me sad that she isn’t here to see our marriages and hopefully children. I can’t wait to work on them with Shane.
Willa graduated valedictorian of her high school, and I graduated with honors and an accounting degree, not too bad for a princess.
Shane gives me a wicked grin from the front row on our family’s side of segregated rows. I know what he’s thinking. He’d told me not too long ago that he almost f*cked me at my wedding. I wonder how things would’ve turned out differently if we had. If he’d given me an orgasm after my stressful day, I might’ve considered annulling my marriage. But I would’ve never gone with him at that time. What can I say? I was stupid.
I should’ve chased after him, but we’re together now, and I will never leave him. He bought our place up on the Kenai, and we’ll spend our summers there. The grizzly that killed his two brothers hangs in the main house’s living room. Shane had skinned it, leaving its massive head and bared fangs intact.
I tried to convince Willa to come live with us during the summer, but she flat out refused. Aedan asked her to move in, so what little money we got from the show, I put into a trust for her, and Fay and I told her to live at the ranch. Fay plans on living in Wyoming on Tanner’s ranch.
Shane has put up his latest venture for sale and he’s had a few offers, not to mention he has over 400 million in the bank now.
When the ceremony ends, Shane asks me to dance. He’s already a little drunk like last time. He and Aedan did a few shots of Irish whisky before, during, and after Fay’s nuptials and pictures. They’re both stupid drunk.
“You’re disgusting,” I say, staring at Secretariat rearing and straining against his jeans.
He scoops me up in his arms. “It’s all your fault that you’re teasing him. God, that’s an ugly dress.” He laughs.
Aedan has whisked Willa off to talk or whatever. I just think she’s too young. I can’t believe I think this after losing my virginity to that nitwit Trevor at sixteen.
“Quit worrying about your sister,” Shane whispers in my ear. “She’s the sensible one. She studies hard and she has a good job for the summer.”
After the studio sold, she applied for an internship filming and a few summer classes in film.
“I know,” I let out in a sigh.
He nuzzles my hair and inhales deeply. “It’s good that she has you.”
As soon as Fay finishes her dance and links up with Tanner’s dad, Shane whips me onto the dance floor. It’s a tango—the only real dance he knows.
He snaps me to him and grins. My leg slides up his powerful leg, and he presses the hard ridge of his cock against my sex, which immediately responds with an undeniable needy throb.
“Are you all wet, Mrs. O’ Flannery?”
“We’re not married yet,” I say.
“Do you want a big wedding?” he offers. He could afford one now.
What was important a year ago no longer is. I want a family and Shane. Being with him is more than enough. “No, I just want you. How about a small wedding in our fishing camp?”
“I like the sound of that.” He twirls me around before dragging me back to his firm chest. “Let’s invite your family and mine, and we’ll have it at our new place that you will have to decorate since I have no taste.”
I laugh because it’s okay that he doesn’t have any class. He’s perfect the way he is. “That’s for sure.” I look forward to customizing the place for our guests with cute little moose and bear print furnishings.
“Are we going to stay in Austin for the winter or the islands?” I know I’ll get my way, and we’ll buy a place on the water and a sailboat.
Every time he grinds his erection against me I forget where I am and what we’re talking about, and that makes him laugh.
“We should be here for Willa the first year and then maybe St. Croix,” I say. He took me there right after we faced Wong to recuperate. Willa, Aedan, Fay, and Tanner joined us. We went sailing and snorkeling and of course fishing.
