Chapter 23 #2
“On the sixth Tuesday of every month,” Kale replied. There was laughter all around and Hawk appeared next to us with Brighten by his side. Phoenix walked up on the other and I was surprised to see him holding Tansy’s hand before he pulled her up against his side.
“We were told to join you guys out here on the dance floor,” Phoenix explained as Brawley and Clancy joined us on the dance floor.
“Do you need some help, old man?” Kale asked.
When I turned to see who he was talking to, I saw Bird flipping off his brother as he and Summer walked up onto the dance floor.
“Years ago we sang this song at Bird’s request, and I thought it was fitting when he asked us to sing it again today, with the help of some of the kids who are passably decent at playing their instruments.
” There was laughter again, because obviously they were better than decent, considering they were members of a very popular music group.
“It means a lot to Crow’s parents because for some reason they’re fond of him and his hooligan brothers. ”
“What song are they . . . ?”
The first notes of the song started, and Crow interrupted, “This was my parents' wedding song.”
“Oh,” I whispered as I watched Bird pull Summer into his arms for a kiss before she laid her head on his chest and swayed with him to the music. “That’s so sweet.”
I’d heard this song quite a few times over the years, and remembered that the movie, The Three Musketeers, was a favorite of my mom’s. Clancy realized that at the same time and smiled at me from Brawley’s arms as they started to sway to the music.
Crow held me close and whispered the words as the men in his family sang them, and through the tears in my eyes I saw Hawk doing the same thing with Brighten.
Phoenix and Tansy weren’t dancing as close as the other couples, but they were smiling as Phoenix twirled her around and then pulled her back into his arms to sway with her as they laughed together.
As the last notes of the song faded, Crow kissed me while the crowd around us cheered. He pulled back before he whispered, “I love you, Darcy.”
“I love you too.”
“Have you enjoyed our wedding reception so far?”
“Yes,” I assured him. “Today has been absolutely perfect, but there’s one thing that would make it even better.”
“What’s that?”
“Take me home, Crow.”
“Fuck! I thought you’d never ask!”
Crow pulled away from me and before I realized what he was doing, I was over his shoulder with his arm hooked over the back of my legs.
The laughter, whistles, and cheering from the people gathered in the yard was almost deafening as he strode toward the gate.
When I started to wiggle, trying to get him to put me down, Crow slapped my ass which caused everyone to cheer even louder.
One voice was louder than the others, and the last thing I heard before we rounded the house was Crow’s dad yell, “Finally that boy is doing something right!”
I was still laughing when Crow dropped me into the passenger seat of his truck, but my laughter was cut off when he leaned in and laid a kiss on me that was so hot I wondered how neither of us spontaneously combusted with the potency of it.
“You’re such a caveman,” I teased as I pushed at his shoulder. “I can’t believe you carried me out of there like that!”
“I’d do it again too,” Crow boasted. As he buckled my seatbelt he said, “It’s taking everying in me not to flip your dress up and fuck you right here, but I can wait just a few more minutes until I finally get you home in my bed so I can do everything I’ve dreamed of and then some.”
“I can’t wait.”
The drive to our neighborhood only took a few minutes, especially since Crow was ignoring the speed limit and taking the backroads, and when we drove through the gates I realized I’d never seen the streets so quiet here.
Suddenly I realized that the majority of our neighbors were probably at the house party we’d just left, and I laughed out loud.
“What’s funny?” Crow asked as he turned down Tumbleweed Drive.
“It’s like a ghost town because almost everyone is at your parents house!”
“That’s true,” Crow agreed. “When my cousins planned this neighborhood they wanted to fill it with people they could trust and get along with, so it only makes sense that they’d rent most of the houses to family.”
“I’m worried about Rev,” I admitted as I wondered if she was going to do well away from us.
I had gone back and forth about the idea, and even talked to her pediatrician when I saw her parking her car and I stopped to say hello.
She assured me that Rev would be safe at Martha and Smokey’s house, and that they would do everything they could to make her comfortable.
I wondered if we should bring her home after the wedding, even if she might be sleeping, just so she could wake up in familiar surroundings, but Amethyst truly believed that Rev would be able to adapt to situations most babies might balk at, only because her life before hadn’t been structured at all.
“Amy said it was okay, so I’m trying to remember that, but it’s hard. ”
“Honey, we can go get her later, but it’s best if we’re alone for a while first,” Crow said as he turned on our street.
He pulled up in the driveway and had barely put it in Park before he threw his door open and jumped out to rush around to my side.
I unbuckled my seatbelt, feeling that same sense of urgency, and wasn’t even surprised when Crow picked me up and held me close.
I shut the door at the last second before I was too far away and then held on as he jogged up the porch steps and stopped in front of the door.
With barely restrained urgency, he growled, “Put in the code.”
As soon as I did, I pushed the door open, and Crow strode inside, kicking it closed with one foot before he let me slide down his body to stand in front of him.
“Shirt off!” I ordered as I pushed him against the door.
Crow ripped his shirt off as I took off his belt before I unbuttoned his pants and shoved them down low on his hips.
As I pulled the waistband of his underwear down to release his already-hard cock, I explained, “I planned for this exact moment.”
As I stroked his cock, Crow groaned. “I could barely think of anything else.”
“No,” I said as I reluctantly let him go.
I grabbed the front of my dress and hiked it up, bunching it up in front of me as he watched, and then smiled when his eyes got wide.
I held the tulle up with one hand as I wrapped my other one around his neck and explained, “I didn’t even bother wearing underwear, because I was almost positive we wouldn’t even make it this far. ”
“Fuck yes,” Crow hissed as he lifted me up and spun us around. He pressed me against the back of the door and slid inside me with one hard thrust before he moaned and said, “You’re perfect in every way, Sleeping Beauty.”
I hissed at the stretch and burn that his cock caused and then gasped when he pulled me away from the door and started walking through the house.
With my legs around his hips I used my thighs to lift myself up and down, and Crow groaned before he set me on the back of the couch and thrust in and out a few more times.
“I’m doing this right, dammit!” he exclaimed as he picked me up again.
I lifted myself almost all the way off his cock and kissed him as I slowly slid down one more time, and then gasped when my back hit the wall next to the hall bathroom and Crow thrust deep again and again.
“We’re making it to the bed if it kills me. ”
“If you don’t stop fucking around and actually fuck me, I might kill you!”
Crow was laughing as he pulled away from the wall and started walking again.
We made it as far as the bedroom door before he couldn’t take my movements anymore and set me down on the dresser.
I leaned back and braced against the wall as he slammed into me, and after only a few thrusts I felt my body start to tense with my upcoming orgasm.
Crow must have felt it too, because one corner of his mouth lifted in a smile before he leaned forward and kissed me at the same time he touched the pad of his thumb to my clit.
I went off like a rocket, screaming his name just like I’d promised.
As my orgasm started to wane, Crow picked me up and spun around to lay me down on the bed.
He bent my legs, bunching the dress up even further, and went even deeper than before.
I held onto his thighs, trying to pull him even closer, and felt the first flutterings of a second orgasm begin when his hips stuttered and he let out a loud shout.
When he collapsed on top of me, I wasn’t finished with him yet and pushed his shoulders until he fell to my side. I threw my leg over his hip and settled on his softening cock, riding him slowly as he whispered my name.
With my hips moving, I used my hands to unzip my dress so I could pull it off over my head.
With that out of the way, I pulled off my bra and felt Crow’s big hands cup my breasts as I dropped it to the floor.
I rested my hands on his abs and worked my hips, moving them around and lifting up a few inches before I dropped down again.
Crow let me ride him, his hands kneading my breasts as he tweaked my nipples between his thumb and finger.
I was happy to see that Crow’s recovery time was brief.
I felt him swelling inside me as he curled up so that we were face to face.
I moved my legs until they were wrapped around him again, and we kissed as we moved together.
His hands roamed up and down my back until he couldn’t take anymore and started lifting me up and dropping me down again.
This time, our orgasms weren’t as wild, but they were just as intense as we kissed each other between murmured vows of love and promises.
When it was over, I laid my head on his shoulder while we caught our breath and was surprised when Crow moved us toward the edge of the bed and then stood with me wrapped around him.
“More wall sex?” I murmured, sated from my orgasms and honestly just ready for a nap.
“Shower, some snacks, maybe more sex, and then sleep,” Crow announced.
“Honey, if there was ever a doubt in my mind that you were the perfect man for me, you just blew it out of the water.”
“You’re the perfect woman for me, so it works,” Crow assured me. “Now we can make a family together, you, me, and Rev, along with all the rest and whoever comes later.”
“Speaking of that, I have a wedding gift for you,” I said as I wiggled out of his arms and hurried over to my closet. I pulled the folder out of the coat sleeve where I’d stashed it yesterday after I got home, and walked back out into the bedroom with it in my hand.
Crow eyed the folder warily before he said, “The only gift I need is you, babe.”
“You’re really gonna love this one. I promise,” I said as I handed him the folder. When he took it from my hand I walked to the bathroom to clean up, leaving him to explore the contents alone.
Once I was finished I walked back into the bedroom and found Crow wiping his eyes, which made me tear up. I held the tears at bay until he looked up and said, “You got Rebecca to sign Rev over completely?”
“In her defense, I didn’t really have to do much. She knows she’s going away and I think there’s a little part of her that’s glad Rev can be part of the family she’s always wanted to be part of.”
“Did you tell Marcus about . . . ?”
“Marcus knew, and Petra went with me. My meeting with Rebecca was recorded on video, so that’s proof she meant what she said.”
“Good. I’ve been worried that she might get out somehow and then rip Rev away from us.”
“She won’t. She can’t. I won’t let her and neither will anyone else,” I assured him as I snuggled up to his side.
“I love you, Mrs. Forrester.”
“And I love you, Prince Charming.”
