Chapter 36
Chapter Thirty-Six
JESSICA
I feel like I’m walking on air, everything around me evaporates, leaving only me, Noah, and Caleb.
Like I’m in a dream and at any moment I’ll wake.
Having Mason officiate only makes it that much more meaningful.
We opted for a garden ceremony, with natural elements giving it the perfect rustic charm and an archway with elegant floral drapes at the end of the aisle.
And now I stand between the two loves of my life ready to say our vows.
Mason clears his throat.
“Now, Jessica, Caleb, and Noah, you will each take turns sharing vows. These vows will reflect your commitment to each other, your shared journey, and your hopes for the future.”
I take a deep breath and will myself not to cry. I take their hands in mine.
“Caleb, Noah, you took me in when I was broken. You helped me heal, gave me security, peace, and comfort. Then together you showed me the meaning of true love. When I say you saved me, I mean it in every sense of the word, and I can’t wait to spend the rest of forever loving you.”
I glance to Mase who holds out their two thin bands and with shaky hands I slide them on each of their ring fingers.
“With these rings, I thee wed. I give you these rings as a reminder I will love, honour, and cherish both of you, now and always.”
I sniff, unable to keep my tears at bay, each of my guys raising a hand to wipe them away.
The smiles on their faces are my undoing.
Caleb takes our hands next.
“Jessica, Noah, you complete me in a way I never thought possible. You smooth out my rough edges, you shine light where I thought there was only darkness. Thank you for trusting me with your hearts. I promise I will do my best to be worthy of your love as long as I live.”
Mason hands him two thin bands.
“With these rings, I thee wed. I give you these rings as a reminder I will love, honour, and cherish both of you, now and always.”
I swallow, the tears unstoppable now as Noah swaps places with Caleb.
“Caleb, Jessica, there’s no doubt in my mind that we were meant to be together, I’ve never felt as whole as I do when I’m with you.
I don’t know what the future holds, but what I do know to the very depths of my soul, there is no other love stronger than the love I have for you two. I will never take it for granted.”
Mason hands him the last two bands and he slides them on our fingers, to join the others, fitting perfectly together.
“With these rings, I thee wed. I give you these rings as a reminder I will love, honour, and cherish both of you, now and always.”
With our hands linked we look to Mason.
“May your journey together be filled with joy, understanding, and boundless love. You may kiss the bride and grooms.”
There’s clapping, whistling, and cheers as Caleb and Noah take turns to kiss me before kissing one another, sealing our vows and commitment to one another.
I’m so glad I wore waterproof mascara because these two men were really plucking at my heartstrings. If I didn’t already love them more than humanly possible, I would have fallen in love with them both all over again.
I sit between the two of them as we eat. The food is beyond amazing, as I knew it would be. My cheeks ache from how much I’ve smiled and laughed. It’s been perfect, romantic, and just everything in-between.
Noah and Caleb are never not touching me, whether it’s an arm over my shoulders, a hand on my thigh, or holding my hand, it’s like we’re magnets, unable to stay away from each other.
I watch as Mason whispers something to Avery and, dare I say, her lips twitch as though she’s doing all she can to not outwardly smile, but her eyes are pretty much smiling for her.
I’m sure whatever is going on there, she’s thawing where my brother is concerned, and it makes me sigh in relief. Because as much as I love my big brother, I won’t sit by and let him upset someone I care about.
“What are you thinking?” Noah whispers against my ear, goosebumps erupting all over my body, as he discreetly bites down on my earlobe.
“Just that it’s nice to see Avery and Mason being cordial to one another.”
Caleb leans in, his mouth moving to my neck, kissing me before raising his eyes to meet mine.
“And yet all you should be thinking about is how we’re going to devour you once we’re alone. First, we’ll take turns fucking you hard, and then we’ll fuck you so slow you won’t know where you begin, or we end.”
I blush and flick my eyes to the others seated around the tables, even though Caleb whispered, I still feel as though everyone can hear him.
“Or,” he says, kissing the corner of my mouth. “Would you like to watch Noah as he fucks me, or I fuck him?”
I whimper, because either or both are a sight to behold, and they know how much it turns me on. It reminds me so much of the first time when I caught them together. I felt like I was intruding, but at the same time I couldn’t not watch.
“Hmm,” Noah says, his hand squeezing my thigh. “I bet if I were to slip my hand between your thighs, I’d find your sweet cunt wet and inviting.”
I swallow and squeeze my legs together. “You two really don’t play fair, you know that right?”
“What’s the matter little one, you a little frustrated?” Caleb says.
Fucking hell, these men are insatiable.
“Well sweet girl, are you?” Noah asks.
I shiver from their proximity and the wicked intentions they have for when they eventually get me alone. To be fair, I’m surprised Caleb hasn’t tried to drag us off already, but we’re yet to have our first dance or cut the cake and I know how much he wanted this to be utterly perfect, which it is.
“You know I am, it’s impossible not to be when you have such a filthy way of getting my body to react to you.”
Caleb chuckles, and Noah brushes his knuckle over my cheek.
“And here we thought you were with us for so much more than the pleasure we can give you.”
“You know I love you for more than just your dicks.”
Caleb chokes out a cough in the midst of taking a sip of his drink.
“What, you both started it,” I say as I pat Caleb’s back.
He smiles as he reaches for the back of my neck. “Yes indeed, and we’ll be the ones making sure you finish,” he says with a wink. I think that’s some kind of innuendo, but all these bubbles are starting to go to my head.
I reach for the glass of water, swallow a few well needed gulps, and sigh as I place it back down.
“Good girl, we need you to have all your wits about you for later,” Noah says.
“Time for the toasts and then we’ll cut the cake,” Caleb says, glancing at his watch.
I have to refrain from laughing that he is keeping to a schedule, yet I wouldn’t have him any other way.
He grabs Mason’s attention and jumps up, using his spoon to clink his glass.
I hold my breath, expecting it to break, I mean he’s not small by any means and that champagne flute is delicate.
“Everyone, it’s time for a few toasts, if you can all grab a drink of choice.”
There are echoes and a chorus of noise as everyone grabs a drink and Mason pulls out a folded piece of paper from inside his suit jacket.
“Firstly, thank you to everyone for attending today, if you’re here it’s because you’re considered more than friends, you’re family. As you know, I have the pleasure of not only being the best man to Caleb and Noah but also the big brother to Jessica.”
He raises his glass towards me. “I have to start by saying, Jessica, you are a vision in your wedding dress, and I know our Nan is looking down on you from above and proud as fuck right now, because I know I am.”
I find myself biting the inside of my lip. He’s hardly said anything, and I’m already getting emotional.
I’m not even bothered that he swore, let’s be honest, our wedding day was never going to pass without swearing, regardless of who is here.
“The two grooms sitting either side of my baby sister were there for her when I wasn’t, and together they saved her in every meaning of the word, and for that they will forever have my gratitude. But it goes without saying, if you hurt her, I will kick your arses.”
A chorus of laughter echoes around me. The sound warm and full of love, and rather than dwell on the part about how they saved me, he’s going right in there with the big brother threat.
“I’d like to see you try,” Caleb says, raising an eyebrow.
I slap his thigh, even though I know he’s only joking.
“And I hope I never have to,” Mase says.
Caleb raises his glass towards him. “Touche.”
“Anyway, back to me,” Mase says. “I remember a time when Jessica used to tell me how she wanted the perfect husband and the perfect happily ever after and I used to think if anyone deserved that, it would always be her. And the fact she gets that in double just proves how very deserving she is of that love and that happily ever after starts today. To the bride and grooms, wishing you all the love and happiness in the world.”
He raises his glass, and we all drink in toast.
