after this, I’ll make sure you won’t be walking right for days.”
“Only days?” she quickly teased, smirking as she said it.
“I exaggerated,” he announced, still whispering into her ear with sensuality and poise all rolled into a confident tone. “Don’t want to disturb the peace or anything.”
“You’re a cop,” Austin stated, still standing on her spot, her husband leering sexually over her as she stood, God knew where, blindfolded and full with anticipation. “I’m sure you could bend the rules.”
Turning her to face him. “Let’s chance it,” he said, cupping his hands around either side of her ass, he pulled her up, forcing her legs to wrap around his waist for support as he slammed his lips against hers and kissed her as if it were his only life line. He felt himself moan and deepen the kiss and wanted nothing more than to see the pool of love dance in her eyes, but he had a plan, and he wasn’t going to ruin it. So he pulled back, and watched her remain quietly blindfolded for a moment, her breathing slightly staccato.
“Was that my surprise?” Austin asked suddenly, biting her deliciously bruised lip.
He put her down onto her feet. “Not even close,” he chuckled and took her hand, leading her forward again. He walked the rest of the way, ignoring her attempts for hints and tips, or outright answers. “We’re nearly there so if you don’t behave you won’t get it.” He laughed as she quickly shut up and waked beside him, trusting him wholly.
The moment she found herself stopped, Austin felt the presence of multiple people around. Now she began to feel nervous at what was on the other side of the blindfold.
“Ready?” he asked, and the answer was a silent nod of her head. He untied the knot from the back of her and allowed the blindfold to fall free, allowing her to see the view before them.
Austin blinked a few times, trying to regain better vision as the light flooded her. The moment the brightness dulled, she found herself staring at a set up in the garden complete with a flowered archway at the end of a rolled out red carpet, seating on either side, and her favorite flowers used as decorations.
“ Wh-what is this?” she asked, looking to Tyler, before looking around and seeing her entire family and Tyler’s around her.
Tyler just stood grinning at his fiancée’s utter astonishment. “This, Austin Pearson, is our wedding.”
“What?!” she exclaimed, her eyes bulging as the words hit her heavier than freight train. “It can’t be!”
“Why not?” Tyler asked aghast, slightly taken back.
“Nothing’s planned! I have no dress, no bridesmaids, no flowers, no nothing!” Austin claimed, the shock making her think irrationally.
Tyler shot Jane a pleading look.
“We have that sorted,” Jane commented, grabbing Austin’s hand and began dragging her away from Tyler.
Austin managed one last look over her shoulder before she was whisked off further into the house. He only blew her a kiss and watched her leave so she decided to just go with it, and not fight. She knew she wouldn’t win, and her heart wanted to know what Tyler had been doing aside from getting Natasha thrown into a jail cell for life.
“He picked the dress,” Jane remarked the moment they walked into Austin’s old bedroom. She went over to the large hanging white bag, and put her hand to the zip before looking to Austin. “I’m still amazed at how clearly he knows you.”
“Show me,” she whispered, wanting to know herself. She stepped forward the lower the zipper went; ready to see the gown that would take her from single life to married life.
Her eyes began to water heavy as her hand moved over the lace and embroidery marking the dress beautifully. This was her wedding dress. She would make her dreams come true wearing this. Her life would finally find that meeting place she had been searching years for. As her mother uncovered it further, her tears began to stream.
“It’s
