Take It All by Alexa Riley

Epilogue

Rory

A little while later…

“Think of this as a trial run,” I tell Apollo as he looks out the window to find Celeste.

“I’m counting down the days.” He looks back and smiles at me, and I can see the genuine love in his eyes.

“I’m so damn proud of you,” I tell him as I walk over and hug him close.

“Oh, Dad, you’re not going to get all sappy on me, are you?” he teases and hugs me back.

“Yes. It’s my wedding day, and I get to do whatever I want.”

“How is this different from any other day?”

When I pull back to look at him, he’s smiling. “Well, to be fair, it’s your mom's day, and she’s allowing me to participate when necessary.”

“You love it.” He squeezes my shoulder, and I nod.

“I wouldn’t want it any other way.”

There’s a knock on the door, and when I turn around, I see Shy entering the room wearing his matching tuxedo.

“Hey guys,” he says softly.

Our relationship is going slowly, but when I asked him to be a part of my wedding, he didn’t hesitate. He’s a good kid, and all he really needed was someone he could count on.

“You look almost as good as me,” Apollo teases as he goes over to the mirror and brushes back his hair.

“You wish.” Shy smirks as he leans against the wall and watches.

“According to the schedule, we’re right on time.” I flip through the next page and nod. “Looks like you two need to be at the front of the garden to greet guests, and I’m going to find my almost-wife for a sneaky squeeze.”

“TMI,” Apollo groans as he pats Shy on the shoulder. “Let’s get out of here before he makes us watch.”

“I’m right behind you,” Shy says, but just when he’s about to leave, I call his name. He turns around, and I smile as I walk over to where he’s at.

“It means so much to me that you’re a part of this today,” I say, and before he can protest, I pull him into a hug just the same as I did with Apollo. “Thank you.”

He’s silent for a beat, and then I feel him pat my back as he nods. “Thank you for asking me.”

When I let him go, Apollo is there watching the two of us. “I’m glad you’re here too,” he says and offers his fist out for a bump.

Shy does the same, and they walk out talking in low voices about something I can’t hear. I wouldn’t say they’re close yet, but they’re working on it. Like most things, time heals all wounds.

Once they’re gone, I sneak out into the hallway and tiptoe down the hall. When I get to the door that’s decorated in pink and white, I knock softly.

“Rory, that better not be you,” Anna says, and I smile to myself.

“I’ll close my eyes,” I promise, but we both know it’s bullshit.

“Liar.”

Without waiting for her to say okay, I open the door and then lock it quickly behind me. Instead of turning around, I face the door, trying my best to not look at her. “You didn’t actually think I could go all this time without seeing you?”

“It’s only been three hours!” I hear her stomp her foot, but I’m still facing the door.

“I need a kiss.”

“You’ll get your kiss at the altar,” she sasses.

“Now who's the liar?” The energy changes in the room, and suddenly it feels like electricity is rolling between us.

Slowly I turn around, giving her plenty of time to tell me to stop. We both knew this would happen, so there’s no use in fighting it.

I stand there for a moment, taking in my beautiful bride before I close the distance between us in two long strides.

“Anna,” I groan, pulling her body against me and leaning down to kiss her.

She looks like an angel and a vixen all at once, and I can’t help my reaction to her. My need for her is like fire in my blood, only the more I take from her, the stronger it gets. It’s an inferno I can’t control, and I don’t even want to try.

“Rory.” Her hands are at my tuxedo, and she’s pulling at my shirt and tie.

“I’ll be quick,” I promise, hiking her skirt up and walking her backward to the wall. “So quick.”

“Oh god,” she moans but doesn’t deny me.

As soon as the layers of her dress are bunched around her waist, I lift her up, and she wraps her legs around me. My cock is free and sinking into her hot little pussy before she has time to catch her breath.

She cries out, and I put my hand over her mouth as I begin to thrust. I bury my face in her neck and breathe in her scent, pumping my hips over and over. She bites my palm, but I don’t move it away. Instead I go harder and then I feel her pussy clench. She’s completely soaked, and my cock is slippery as it squeezes into her snug cunt.

“Cum around my cock while you’re in your wedding dress. I want this pussy all over me when I say, ‘I do.’”

She moans against my hand, and then I feel her whole body tense as her pussy begins to pulse. Her orgasm is hot and fast, and I have no choice but to follow her over the edge. My cock throbs as it flexes and empties into her.

When we’re both spent, I gently lower her to her feet but keep my cock inside of her. I don’t want to leave her warmth even though I know I need to.

“I love you,” I say as I try to wipe away all the smudges I made on her makeup.

“I love you too, almost-husband.”

This time when I kiss her, it’s slower and gentler. My cock is still demanding more, but for now, this is enough.

“Think we can just do our vows like this?” I ask, pushing into her a little more.

She moans and pushes her hips forward. “I wish.”

“Don’t tempt me.” I raise an eyebrow at her, and she pulls me down for another kiss.

“Tempting you is my favorite pastime.”

We’re late to the ceremony, then we’re late to the reception. We’re even late to leave for our honeymoon, but I don’t care. This day has been perfect, not only because I’ve gotten to marry the love of my life, but because my family was a part of it.

Life has taken a different turn than I imagined it would, but somehow I’ve ended up exactly where I needed to be.

Now all we have to do is enjoy forever.
