Chapter 28
Jesse swiped the key card for the hotel room and opened the door for Lucy. She was about to walk into the room when he stopped her.
“Wait! Ain’t I supposed to carry you over the threshold?” Jesse asked.
“I don’t know,” Lucy said. “Isn’t that just for when you get home?”
“Better safe than sorry,” Jesse said, eyes twinkling. “Don’t want bad luck.”
Jesse scooped up his giggling bride in his arms and carried her into the hotel room. The first thing she did was kick off her high-heeled shoes while she was still off her feet.
“Finally! Those things hurt!”
Jesse kissed her, then gently set her down. She glanced around the fancy hotel room.
“Wow, this is such a nice ro—” She stopped short when she caught sight of a vase filled with yellow roses. “Oh, Jesse.”
Lucy walked over and gazed at the flowers, then bent down to breathe in the scent. She looked up and saw Jesse smiling at her.
“You’re always so thoughtful. Thank you,” Lucy said, truly touched by the gesture.
“Well, I figger this time you didn’t have to pay for ‘em yourself!”
Lucy smiled, remembering when Jesse was still dead and had lamented that he couldn’t bring her flowers.
She had bought yellow roses for herself and showed them to him, saying they really were from him since he would have gotten them for her if it had been humanly possible.
Then she had taken out the card that came with the roses and asked what he would have written on it if he could have.
Lucy lifted her wedding gown and walked over to her purse and pulled out her wallet. She took out a small card and handed it to him.
Jesse smiled as he read the words. To my beautiful rose, All my love, Jesse. “You kept it!”
Lucy nodded. “I wrote it down, but they were your words. Of course I kept it.”
“How you feelin’, baby?” he asked.
“Tired. Happy, but tired,” Lucy said.
“Darlin’, I’ll understand if you’re too tired to—”
“No way!” Lucy protested, then said in a sultry voice, “You promised to ravish me.”
She leaned back against the wall and looked at him expectantly. He grinned. “That I did, that I did.”
Jesse looked at her with desire and walked toward her. She drew in a deep breath, already excited, anticipating his touch. He pressed his mouth to hers, and she ran her fingers through his hair as she eagerly kissed him back.
“Oh, Lucy, I’ve been waitin’ for this all day,” Jesse said, kissing down her neck and down toward her breasts, which were plumped up thanks to the bodice of her gown.
“Me, too,” Lucy said. “Jesse, you look so handsome in that tux.”
“Darlin’, I wanna make love to you while you’re still wearin’ your gown,” Jesse murmured in her ear.
“Fine with me,” Lucy said breathlessly, suddenly no longer tired.
Jesse pressed his mouth to hers and kissed her deeply, passionately.
She loved the way his body felt against hers.
“Oh, Jesse, we’ve never done it up against the wall before.
” The desire in her voice made it clear that she was up to try something new.
“Oh, God, Lucy,” Jesse said, gripping her shoulders and pushing her hard against the wall.
“Yes, Jesse, yes,” Lucy moaned. They’d had sex on the floor once, and she remembered how good it had felt, how deeply Jesse had been able to penetrate her in that position. She could hardly wait for him to spread her legs and ram inside her against the wall.
Jesse lifted his head and looked into her eyes. “I feel kinda bad, though.”
“Why?” Lucy asked, perplexed.
“I dunno. I mean, I feel like I ought to be sweeter with you, ya know. For our first time as man and wife?” He looked at her questioningly, wanting so much to do the right thing for her.
“We’ve got plenty of time for sweet, my darling. I want you to take me against the wall. In my wedding dress. Now,” Lucy said, breathing heavily with anticipation.
Jesse grinned and said, “I like the way you think.”
He pressed his mouth against hers again and began fumbling with her gown, trying to get through all the ruffles and lace. After several moments, he chuckled. “I can’t find you!”
Lucy laughed, too. “Well, don’t give up!”
“Never,” Jesse said, sounding determined. He dropped to his knees and lifted her dress that way. Lucy rested her head on the wall and waited. She could no longer see Jesse under all that fluff, but she could feel him.
First, she felt his hands on her panties as he pulled them off. Then, he slipped his forefinger and middle finger inside her.
“Oh, Jesse.” He stroked her with his fingers for a short while, then she felt his tongue swipe across her clit. “Oh, Jesse!” Lucy cried louder, as she closed her eyes and surrendered to the kind of intense pleasure every bride should experience on her wedding night.
Jesse flipped her dress up higher so she could finally see him as he pleasured her. Lucy looked down and watched as he gently picked up her leg and draped it over his shoulder, opening her up wider.
“Oh!” Lucy cried, as he continued to stroke her with his tongue. “Oh, Jesse, oh, Jesse….don’t stop…please don’t stop…Oh, Jesse….don’t stop!”
Lucy always pleaded with him not to stop when she was close to coming.
Jesse was fully aware of this, and usually took that as his cue to go faster.
He flicked his tongue more rapidly, making her scream even more.
“Jesse! Jesse!” She let out one last cry of ecstasy as a powerful orgasm claimed her.
She threw her head back against the wall as her body shattered into paroxysms of sheer bliss.
Finally, she stopped crying out and gasped to catch her breath.
Jesse stood up, and she threw her arms around his neck. “Oh, Jesse…oh, God, you’re so damn good.”
Lucy reached for his belt and pulled it off as quickly as she could. She unbuttoned his pants and pushed them down along with his underwear. He was rock hard and looked even bigger than normal, which was truly impressive. Then she waited for him to make the next move.
Jesse grabbed her leg and flung it over his shoulder. He seemed concerned that he had been too rough with her, because he glanced up at her face. Lucy leaned back against the wall, ready for him to take her. Without hesitation, he rammed himself into her.
“Jesse! Oh, God, yes!”
He pounded her hard against the wall, all the while looking down at her dress.
Lucy loved seeing how aroused he was by having sex with her in her wedding gown.
It never occurred to her that it would be such a turn-on, but she thoroughly enjoyed watching Jesse’s pleasure.
He had satisfied her so completely, and she wanted nothing less for him.
“Lucy, Lucy, my darlin’,” Jesse moaned as he thrust in and out of her. Lucy still found that Texas accent of his sexy as hell, and she loved when he spoke during sex.
“Oh, Jesse, you feel so good,” Lucy cried, her arms wrapped around his neck as she held on for dear life.
She loved feeling him so deeply inside her.
Lucy felt his cock tighten within her, and she knew he was close.
Sure enough, he let out one final groan and came hard, gripping her shoulders so tightly that it hurt a bit.
Jesse took a moment or two to catch his breath, then gently eased out of her, carefully putting her leg back down on the floor.
He gazed into her eyes and affectionately stroked her hair.
Lucy let out a happy sigh. So far, they’d had sex on the floor, in the car, and on top of a bar, and no matter where they were or what crazy position they might experiment with, Jesse was always tender and affectionate afterward.
Always. He always kissed her softly, told her that he loved her, and held her in his arms. He made her feel valued, cherished. Adored.
“Thank you for marrying me,” Jesse said tenderly as he looked into her eyes.
“Thank you for asking,” Lucy said with a smile.
Jesse looked at her now fairly disheveled wedding gown. He had ravished her all right, and she’d loved every thrilling moment of it.
“You look so beautiful in that dress, and I know I’ll never forget the way you looked today,” Jesse said to her. “But that thing cannot be comfortable!”
Lucy laughed. “No, not really.”
“Then let’s get you out of it,” Jesse said, taking her by the hand and leading her to the bed.
She sat on the bed, and Jesse straddled her from behind and got to work on unbuttoning the dozens of buttons on the back of her dress.
He stopped every few buttons to plant tender kisses on her back as he went.
When he got all the buttons undone, he helped her step out of her dress and slipped her nightgown over her head.
After brushing their teeth, they climbed into bed together, happy but utterly exhausted. They snuggled up close, warm and comfortable in bed.
“I love you, Jesse.”
“I love you, too, my beautiful rose. And I’ll love you forever, darling.”
