Chapter 28: Joy!
I am speechless when I walk into the room where Rose is preparing for her wedding day. She is dressed in her gorgeous dress that Kate’s mother designed especially for her. I have to say that Rose is the most beautiful bride I have ever seen. She is glowing with joy and love. She sees me in the mirror’s reflection and turns to look at me.
“I feel like a fairy princess.” She declares as her pretty brown eyes tear up.
“You look like a fairy princess.” I reply going to her. Today, Rose is not my employee, but one of my best friends that I love a great deal. I have come to rely on her for more than business but as a friend. “You are so beautiful, Rosie.”
She started to cry. “I wish my Mother was here. I miss her so much.”
“Oh, honey.” I go to her and embrace her. Rose’s mother had passed away five years ago after losing her battle with breast cancer. Rose took her mother’s passing the hardest being the youngest of the family. “Listen, your Mom is here. She is in this room. She is watching over you and I know she is so proud of you.” I turn her to face the mirror. “Your mother is right here with you. She’s in your eyes, Rose.” I place my hand over her heart. “And, she is in here. She is in your smile and the smiles of your sisters and their children. She will walk down the aisle with you and she will guide your hand into Luke’s. She has always been with you because she is in you.”
Rose nods and gives me a small smile of gratitude. “Thank you, Ana. You are the best.”
“Okay, now it’s time. Christian will be coming to get you to escort you down the aisle.” I give her a little hug. “Let’s get your bouquet.”
Rose’s sisters start the procession down the aisle to the beautiful violin music that filled St. Mark’s Catholic Church. Being the Matron of Honor I am the last down the aisle before the bride. I can’t help but smile at Luke as he fidgets nervously at the altar waiting for his bride. I have to admit, he looks very fine dressed in his tuxedo. I give him a wink and he smiles at me. I turn to look back down the aisle after I take my place. The music changes to from Sinead O’Conner’s Only You from the movie The Young Victoria that is Rose’s favorite movie to The Rose. Seeing Christian escort this lovely young woman down the aisle makes me so proud yet there is a sadness clutching at my heart. This could be my baby girl Phoebe in twenty years. I have to fight the tears as they do the long walk down the cathedral’s long aisle and join the wedding party in front of the church. I quickly wipe away a tear that escaped from my eye so not to ruin my makeup. I turn to listen to the priest.
“Who gives this woman to this man?” Father Michael asks.
“I do in the memory of the bride’s parents Felix and Rosa Maria Santos.” I was never prouder of my husband as he gave Rosa a fatherly kiss on the cheek then gave her hand to Luke. “Take good care of our girl, Luke.” Christian went to his seat and sat down. His grey eyes caught my blue eyes and he was gazing at me with such love.
“I love you.” I mouthed to him.
“I love you, too.” He returned.
Thirty minutes later after readings by Rosa’s sisters, a hymn, then the vows, the priest proclaimed Rosa and Luke husband and wife. I had to wipe another tear away as the newly joined couple kissed for the first time as spouses.
“Brothers and Sisters, may I present Mr. and Mrs. Luke Sawyer.” The priest declared.
I hand Rosa her bouquet and gave her a wink as she took Luke’s offered arm and he escorted her down the aisle. I waited until they left the sanctuary then I took Jason Taylor’s offered arm. Rosa’s sisters walked with Reynolds and Luke’s friend Tim Walters.
I am exhausted when we returned home and I couldn’t wait to get out of my matron of honor dress. I am so glad that the children were already in bed and asleep. Within moments, I am entwined in my husband’s arms in our bed. “I do love you Christian.” I whisper to him. “When I saw you walking Rosa down the aisle, I thought about you someday giving our little girl away.”
“It will never happen.” He said sternly. “I won’t allow it.”
I have to laugh at him. I know he will find it hard to give up his little girl. Phoebe was his little angel and he would not take it well when Phoebe starts to date. Thank god, it would be a few years until we have to cross that bridge. “Christian, make love to me. I want to feel every inch of you inside me.”
“Why, Mrs. Grey, of course. I aim to please.”
Rosa’s head fell back spilling her dark hair over her shoulders. She moaned lowly as Luke slid his tongue through her pink folds. They have been making love for hours in the bridal suite of the Fairmont. Tomorrow they would leave for their honeymoon in the Caribbean. “Oh, Luke…you are so wonderful.”
“Baby, you taste like honey.” Luke kissed up and over her stomach and suckled on her breasts. “I love you, Mrs. Sawyer.”
Rosa could only smile at her new name. She was his wife. “Love me, Luke.”
Luke kissed her as their bodies joined as one. He moved slowly going deep inside her. “I do love you Rosie. With all my heart and soul I love you.”
The joy of witnessing two people start their lives together made Christian and Ana even more loving toward each other. They spent the next day in and out of bed enjoying their own wedded bliss. They also spent time with the children in the meadow. Ana held Bryce as she sat on a blanket watching Teddy and Phoebe chase butterflies. Christian was having more fun than the children were. The sun glistened off his copper curls and he looked more like Teddy’s older brother than his father. He was laughing and playing with the kids. “C’mon Teddy…let’s go check on Mommy and Bryce.”
Teddy squealed as he ran in front of Christian yelling for Phoebe to join them. Ana smiled as the three of them joined her on the blanket. “Are you having fun, baby girl?” Ana asked her daughter. Phoebe only smiled as offered her mom a bouquet of wild flowers. “Thank you, Angel. They are beautiful.”
“They are pretty like you, Mommy.”
“They are pretty like you, my little Phoebe.” Ana cuddled her little girl close and kissed her mop of curls.
“My girls are the prettiest girls in the world.” Christian offered as he lay down next to his wife. He propped himself up on his arm and smiled at her. “This is heaven on earth.”
“I know. How did we get so fortunate to find each other and make these little babies?”
Christian laughed. “Well, if I remember correctly it all started when Kate got the flu.”
“Thank god for contagious illnesses.” Ana joked with a laugh. She leaned over and gave her husband a kiss. “Maybe we should go back to the house and celebrate Kate’s flu.”
Those grey eyes sparkled in desire and lust for his wife. “I think I can be persuaded to do that.”
Bryce gave a squeal that he didn’t want to be forgotten. He nudged on his mother’s breast ready for a snack. Ana smiled down at her little boy and quickly let loose her blouse and nursing bra to set a breast free. Bryce latched on and began to suckle. His beautiful blue eyes shined up at his mother and he smiled releasing a mouthful of milk before returning to the nipple. Ana stroked her son’s brown hair.
Christian had to laugh. “That boy knows his way around a nipple.” He kissed his wife’s shoulder. “If I could, I would join him.”
“Later, baby.” Ana whispered. Phoebe and Teddy resumed running around the meadow but keeping close to their parents. She was happy and full of contentment. She had a loving and caring husband and three beautiful children that she adored. As Christian said earlier, this was heaven!
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Elliot and Kate were locked in their playroom enjoying a little afternoon delight. Kate was tethered to the cross and Elliot was working her over with a soft flogger. Every strike made her groan in pleasure. He dropped the flogger then ran his tongue over her pink skin making her moans get louder.
“You like, Katie?” He asked as he stroked his cock.
“Oh, Elliot…yes…I love it.” She said breathing hard.
He smiled down at her. Their lips were so close but he refrained from kissing her. “I want your ass, Kate. I’ve waited long enough to claim it.”
Kate’s green eyes grew in sudden apprehension. She had let Ana and Elliot train her ass with butt plugs and anal beads, but she wasn’t quite ready to give up her anal cherry. “I don’t think I can.” She said.
“Trust me, Kate. I’ve done it before. I won’t hurt you.”
“You will stop if I use the safewords?”
“Of course, baby.” His heart was thundering against his chest. He had waited for so long for this. He would finally possess her fully. He reached up and released her from the cross then bent down and freed her ankles. Without saying a word, he carried her to the bed. “I will go slow.”
“Okay.” She said weakly still not convinced that this was a good idea. “Elliot…maybe we should wait until Ana and Christian are with us…I mean…to coach us.”
“Baby, I don’t need my little brother to show me how to fuck my wife’s ass. I’ve had some experience.” He placed her on the bed. “You need to relax and trust me, baby. I have never hurt you and I won’t now.”
Kate didn’t understand why she was so nervous about this. He was her husband and she had never been shy about sexual matters with him before. She loved fucking him, especially now that they discovered BDSM and had their playroom. In here, she could be as free as she wanted. Her submission gave her freedom to experience all kinds of kinky sex without guilt or fear. She watched Elliot as he went to the sex cabinet where their toys, lotions, and oils were stored. “Elliot…”
“Yeah, baby.” He turned to see the fear in her lovely green eyes. “Kate, baby…what’s wrong?”
“I can’t, Elliot. It will hurt.” She began to cry. “He tried once…and it hurt so much. I screamed and screamed but he wouldn’t stop until Ethan made him…”
Elliot dropped the bottle of lube that he held and went to her. “What are you saying? Kate…did someone hurt you?”
“I was a senior in High School. He was the Captain of the football team and we were the “it” couple…you know…head cheerleader and football star. He was my first…but he wanted more. I said no, but he …he held me down on my stomach and tried to shove his cock up my ass. I was screaming. It hurt so much…Ethan came home just in time and he beat the shit out of the guy.”
“I will fucking kill the bastard.” Elliot raged. “Baby, why didn’t you ever tell me?”
“I thought I was over it. I mean when I saw you and Christian with Ana…it was so beautiful to watch. I do want it, but I am so damn afraid.” She wiped away her tears. “I’m so scared.”
Elliot gathered her into his arms. “Don’t ever be afraid to say no, baby. I won’t hurt you. We don’t have to do this now. When you are ready…then it will happen. I love you, Katherine and all I want to do is give you pleasure.”
Kate relaxed in her husband’s safe arms. “Thank you, Elliot for understanding. Just give me more time.”
He kissed her softly. “You take all the time you need sweetheart.” He nuzzled her closer into his embrace. “I love you, Kate.”
“Oh, Elliot, I love you so much…more and more each day.” She sighed in contentment. In his arms, she was safe. In his love, she basked in joy. Elliot was her life and her source of happiness. They fell asleep in each other’s arms both dreaming of each other and their life to come.
