Epilogue
EPILOGUE
Xanthe
Six months later . . .
I carefully back out the room without Lexi or Luna noticing. I love them both, but I need to see Fury, and they’ve specifically banned all contact until the morning when we say our vows.
I rush out the hut and race across the damp grass. We chose to have our wedding in a wonderful place set in the idyllic countryside. We booked all their huts for the entire weekend, and some of the bikers brought tents to camp because there wasn’t enough room for us all.
I reach Fury’s hut and tap on the door. He swings it open wrapped in a towel, his body wet, and I arch a brow. “You better be alone in there.”
He smirks, reaching for me and dragging me in before Axel sees, as he is under strict instructions from Lexi to keep us apart. “I was just thinking about you.”
I smile smugly, ripping his towel away and eyeing up his huge erection. “And here I am, at your service.”
“Did anyone tell you that you have the best timing?” he growls, lifting me in his arms and pushing me against the wall. “But if you ever sneak out in nothing but underwear again, I’ll be pissed.” He moves my panties to one side and sinks into me. I dig my nails into his shoulders. I can’t get enough of him. It’s been six months since he caught me leaving, and we’ve not been apart since. Wherever I am, so is he, and vice versa. The only place I can’t go is church, but luckily, I have my girls there to hang out with. And although Fury’s recovery took some time, he’s almost back to his old self. His speech is perfect, but he’ll never fight again, though I’m not sad about it, even if it did take him some time to get used to the idea.
“We need to be fast,” I pant.
“The first time,” he whispers, nipping my neck.
I giggle. “They’ll come looking for me.”
“Let them,” he whispers against my clammy skin. “Now I have you here, you ain’t leaving until it’s time to get into that very expensive wedding dress.” He didn’t see the point in spending so much on a dress when he planned to rip it off right after the wedding. I had a real job convincing him it’s not all about the wedding night.
I feel my orgasm building, and Fury moves faster, chasing his own release. He doesn’t stop when Lexi bangs on the door. “Xanthe May Hart, get out here right now.”
“Oh shit,” I whisper as the first shudders of pleasure rip through me. Fury places his hand over my mouth, thrusting harder.
“Are you having sex?” she demands.
I can’t help the laugh that escapes me. “Shhh,” he growls in my ear.
He closes his eyes, gently wrapping his hand around my throat as he comes apart, growling loud enough to be heard by anyone outside.
I hear Lexi calling for Axel. “Where’s the fire?” he asks, joining her outside the door.
“You had one job,” she snaps, “and now, my bride is in with the groom.”
Fury carries me over to his bed, laying me down and kissing me until my toes curl. This is all part of his continued plan to get me pregnant. Luna jokes that he’ll be holding my legs up in the air soon if I don’t catch. It’s a strong possibility, but I don’t mind at all because having our own little family is all we both want.
Fury
The ceremony is over quickly, which I’m glad about because all I can think about is being alone with my wife. My wife. Fuck, that sounds good.
When I saw Xanthe walking down the aisle towards me, I forgot how to breathe. She’d have had that effect on me no matter what she wore, but the stunning cream-coloured dress that sparkled with each step was breathtaking. She is every bit the princess in our story, and my first thought was, fuck, she’s all mine, followed by how I can’t wait to see how beautiful she’ll look carrying my baby. And if I have my way, that’ll be any day now.
“Dance with me, wife,” I whisper in her ear, interrupting her conversation with Luna.
Her smile is instant, and I pray she reacts like that every time she sees me for many years to come, because making her happy is all I want.
She slips her tiny hand into mine, and I lead her to the crowded dance floor. Wrapping her in my arms, I stare down at her, admiring her beauty. “I can’t believe we actually got married,” she says.
“Together forever,” I reply, kissing her gently.
“I’m so happy.”
“Me too.”
“I notice Mum and Coop seem to be hitting it off,” she adds, and I glance over to where the old bastard is twirling Dianna around nearby. I roll my eyes, and Xanthe laughs. “As long as she’s happy.”
The song comes to an end, and before the next starts, I pull her even closer. “I don’t think anyone will notice if we slip off.”
Xanthe giggles, but I know she’s thinking the same. “Fine, but if Lexi comes looking for us, you can deal with her.” I made sure Axel was keeping Lexi busy for this exact reason.
Since Xanthe came back into my life, we’ve not had it easy, but we didn’t give up on each other. She stuck by me through the hardest days of my life, even when I tried to push her away. And somehow, every day since then, she’s made me feel like the most important man in the world . . . like I’m worthwhile. And when we have a family of our own, I’ll be part of something I’ve spent my entire life craving.
We were always meant to be. Set in stone to last forever.
