Chapter Twelve
A few weeks later, Gideon pulled Jessica into his arms as they both fought to catch their breath. The sex just seemed to get better and better, and he couldn’t get enough of his mate.
When they had settled their heartbeats, he turned her to face him. “Do you want a big wedding?”
She looked surprised. “I know you said something about that before, but I thought we were going to wait.”
“No. I’d rather not. We both know we’ll spend the rest of our lives together. Have you ever thought about what you want your wedding to look like?”
“No,” she said, smiling. “I was never that girl who had everything chosen before I even got engaged. The smaller, the better.”
He slid his hand up and down her side, over her hips to her outer thigh, and back again. “What would you think about flying to Vegas this weekend and getting married?”
“This weekend?” she gasped.
“Yes. What are we waiting for?” he asked.
He watched her think about it for a moment before she looked up at him.
“Nothing, I guess. Is there anything we need to do?”
He shook his head. “No.”
“I’ll do it if I can have one thing.”
He could tell by the grin on her face that she was up to mischief. “What?”
“I want Elvis to marry us.”
Gideon laughed until tears came to his eyes. Damn, he loved his mate. She was absolutely perfect for him.
“You got it. I’ll have our pilot get the plane ready, and we’ll leave on Saturday morning. We’ll get married that afternoon and then take a quick honeymoon in one of their luxury suites. We’ll take a longer one later. So, think about where you want to go.”
“I think that’s a good plan.”
“We need to get you a dress,” he said. “Do you want to wait until we get to Vegas to find one or go shopping here?”
“I actually have one that I think will work very well.”
“Can I see it?” he asked.
“No. You’ll see it when I walk down the aisle to you.”
He chuckled. “It will drive me crazy, but I’ll be patient.” Jesus, he was an idiot. He just thought of something he should have done a while ago. “Hold on.” He rolled out of bed and walked to his desk. He pulled the box he’d had in a drawer since he met her and carried it back to the bed.
He lifted her hand. “I want to do this the right way. Baby, will you marry me and live with me for the rest of our lives?”
“Yes,” she whispered and then gasped when he pulled out a four-carat round diamond ring with small diamonds on the band. “Gideon, this is beautiful.”
He smiled. “I’m glad you like it. I bought it the day after I found you.”
She smiled and lifted her left hand to admire the ring.
Gideon pressed his lips to the top of her head. “If we’re going to go away in a few days, I’ve got some things to take care of.”
“That’s fine. I’ll be here at home. I want to keep working on the garden,” she said.
“I can’t tell you how proud I am of you.” He kissed the tip of her nose. “The garden you’re building has exceeded my expectations. It’s going to be even more beautiful than the last one you had.”
He grinned at the blush that covered her face. He really hoped she would never lose her sense of innocence. It made her into the kindest, quirkiest, most delightful person. But it was also her strength and loyalty that he’d noticed at first.
Gideon rolled until he had her under him. His lips started to trail over her neck and shoulder. “We need to get moving.”
She giggled. “Then you have to get off of me.”
“I will.”
They waited for a brief moment before she snorted. “And when do you think that would be?”
“When I’m ready,” he said and grinned.
She raised her hand to hit him, but he caught it and her other one and pinned them against the mattress over her head.
A groan tore from both when he adjusted his hips to make room between her legs. Without stopping, he thrust his cock into her tight, wet cunt until he couldn’t go another millimeter. It always felt like the first time to him, and she was incredibly tight every time.
“You know this is the opposite of getting up, don’t you?” she asked him sarcastically when she was able to catch her breath.
He tightened his grip on her hands when she tried to pull away from him. “That’s odd. I thought I was being a gentleman...”
She snorted.
His eyes narrowed. “Are you saying I’m not one?”
He could tell the dangerous tone of his voice pushed her desire even higher.
She giggled and then gasped when he pulled out, only to slam into her again.
“Are you going to be this feisty all day?”
He watched her pretend to think about it before she grinned and nodded.
He had to bite his tongue to keep from laughing. “You do know mates that get out of hand get punished, right?”
“Oh, really?”
“Yes. Let me show you.”
He pulled out of her and flipped her onto her stomach, keeping her arms pinned. He reached for a bottle on his nightstand.
“What is that?” she asked.
“I’m going to show you. You trust me, right?”
She turned her head to look at him. “Yes.”
“Good. I would never hurt you past what I think you can take.”
Gideon grew harder as all he sensed from her was anticipation, not fear.
He poured some of the gel on her ass crack and watched it slide in between her ass cheeks. He dropped the bottle and started working his finger into her puckered hole, needing to stretch her.
“Oh, God,” she moaned.
“I knew you’d like this. You’re going to love it when I use my cock.”
He started to work his cock into her ass. He’d push in a bit and then retreat before diving back in. The feel of her was sending shock waves through his body, and he wasn’t even all the way in yet.
“I don’t know if I’ll be able to take it,” she whimpered.
“You’ll take whatever I give you, mate.”
He gently thrust in and out of her, going deeper every time. She was taking him better than he thought she would, but he guessed that since he was gentle and she trusted him, it would go easier on her.
They both exhaled as he shoved the last inch into her. He rested his forehead on the back of her head to give himself a moment to regain some control.
He started moving, and within a few minutes, he could already feel the tingling at the base of his spine.
His balls drew up, and he knew he didn’t have a lot of time before he blew.
He reached under her and started playing with her stiff clit, and it didn’t take much before she was screaming and trying to push back against him and begging.
“I’ll give you what you need,” he said and started ramming into her.
If he hadn’t been holding her in place, she would have been moved up the mattress from his movements.
The sensation of her tight anus gripping his cock was so overwhelming, he felt like he would lose his mind.
But that didn’t stop him from thrusting into her, once, twice, and then a third time before he felt her tighten on him, and a scream burst from her throat.
He exploded, filling the tight passage with his cum.
When they settled a bit, and he had some of his strength back, he pulled out and kissed her shoulder. “I’ll be right back.”
He washed himself and then her before climbing back into bed and wrapping himself around her.
“God, I think you killed me,” he moaned.
He smiled when she giggled. It was a sound he cherished and wanted to hear every day of his life.
He couldn’t be happier with his choice of mate, and he fell in love with her more every day.
“Rest for a minute, and then we’ll get up.”
She sighed, nodded, and relaxed against him.
He wished they didn’t have to move. He could have stayed all day, but he was the alpha of the pack, and there was always something to do. He reminded himself there would be thousands of times they’d be in bed together for the rest of their lives, and it was enough for him.
