Everyone else files out, leaving me with Johnny and Dad. The three of us look between each other, not speaking but sharing so much love my heart threatens to burst.
“I love you both…” is all I can get out before my voice cracks.
Arms wrap around me, and we hold tight until Dad straightens and kisses my forehead.
“Time to get you down that aisle. There’s a very anxious young man waiting.”
I nod in agreement and smile wide. “Let’s do this.”
“If you smash that cake in my face, it’ll be a very lonely wedding night,” I warn with a sugary sweet tone, pinching Finn’s elbow.
His eyes flash with heat, and he gives me a coy grin, moving his hand to my mouth. He outlines my lips with the buttercream icing and forces the small bite into my mouth. Then he dips down and licks the icing from my lips slowly, putting on a show, until whistles sound all around us.
One arm wraps around my waist, and I sink into his body, kissing him lightly. The taste of chocolate cake mixed with the sweet icing fills my mouth, and I moan against his tongue when he presses his hips into mine.
“Fucking perfection.” His breath is shallow when he breaks away.
“Divine.” I flashback to the night of our first kiss.
“My wife and her vocabulary.” He brushes his nose along my jawline. “I want another dance.”
He leads me away from the cake table and to the edge of the dance floor, wrapping me into his body and swaying to the music. I lay my head on his shoulder and kiss lightly along the column of his throat.
“Today has been perfect, but don’t think I’m going to let your little stunt with Winnie slide. Because of you, she thinks us being married means we’re also having a baby.”
“I hope we are.”
I stop moving and look up. The expression on his face kills any argument in my mind.
“You’re serious, aren’t you?”
“There are only a few things in my life I’ve ever been more serious about. One of them is in my arms right now. Tell me you want to wait and we will, but if it’s up to me, we start trying immediately.”
My heart threatens to explode with the sincerity and love pouring from his words. I grin and give him a quick nod then cover his mouth with mine.
“Will you finally tell me where we’re going on our honeymoon?” I ask between kisses.
“Absolutely, if you promise we can leave now.”
“Finn! We can’t leave yet. The party is just getting started.”
“The only party I care about is our private party.”
“A girl dreams about her wedding her whole life. Can I have another hour?”
He looks down at me with such tenderness and love, I almost retract my request. “Anything you want. I never stood a chance. Seeing you today, walking toward me on your dad’s arm, sent a shock to my heart. You are easily the most breathtaking woman in the world.”
I stop swaying and shift my hands to his head, bringing his face to mine. “I’ve never been so tongue-tied in my life. When my eyes landed on you, I lost all thought.”
His eyes darken then flash with hunger. “What the fuck did I do to deserve you? Will you ever understand how much I treasure you?”
I run my lips along his and nibble as I speak. “If you treasure me so much, tell me where we’re headed on our top secret honeymoon.”
“St. Martin.”
“Oh my—”
“Can I cut in?” Max interrupts.
