Gabby giggles quietly and whispers, “I love you too. I can’t wait.”
“You look so beautiful. I’ve never seen anyone as amazing as you.”
The preacher clears his throat behind me, “Can we have a wedding now?”
Everyone erupts into laughter and cheers.
***
After the ceremony and pictures are done, we head back up to the house.
The DJ announces us as we walk into the tent filled with our friends and family, “I’d like to introduce to you Mr. And Mrs. Camron Taylor.”
The night passes with dancing, laughter, and mingling. All of the guests come to congratulate us one by one. I’ve not let Gabby out of my sight for longer than a dance with someone.
“Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time for the bride and groom dance. They’ve each got a song for the other, so clear the floor, and make room for the Mr. and Mrs.” Everyone claps while I lead Gabby to the middle of the dance floor. “This one is from Gabby to her groom.”
The DJ starts playing a song I’ve never heard. “What is this?”
“It’s “All About Us” by He Is We.” She starts singing the lyrics to me.
Swaying back and forth with Gabby in my arms, her head resting against my shoulder as she sings in my ear, and my child growing in her stomach, it doesn’t get better than this. Pure bliss. The song ends and Gabby leans up on her tiptoes, kissing the corner of my mouth.
“I love you, Cam. Thank you so much for loving me and picking me to be your wife.”
“I love you too, baby.”
“Here’s Cam’s song to his bride,” the DJ says as the upbeat “Lovin’ You Is Fun” by Easton Corbin starts playing.
Gabby throws her head back and laughs.
I sing to her and swing her around on the dance floor.
Each time she laughs my heart swells with love. Not a day will go by that I won’t do anything for that laugh. I have so much to make up to her. My years of stupidity almost caused me to lose her. I’ll spend every last breath making her happy.
The song ends and we head off to get a drink.
“You ready for your surprise?” I pull her into my arms and kiss her temple.
“Yes!” There’s that beaming smile that melts me.
“You better pack warm, baby. We leave for Bora-Bora tomorrow.”
“Shut up! No, you didn’t! We’re seriously going to Bora-Bora?”
“Yup. A full two weeks.” Hell yeah, two weeks of Gabby wearing skimpy bathing suits. I got one of those huts on the water so we can have fun scaring the fish away. Making love to Gabby in the ocean, under the stars, sounds like a pretty damn good idea.
“You spoil me, Mr. Taylor.”
“Get used to it, Mrs. Taylor. We’re just starting our lives. I have the rest of my life to spoil you and I plan to do just that each and every day.”
*Gabby*
Swaying back and forth under the stars in Cam’s arms, my husband! Today has been everything I imagined it would be, plus some. Guests are slowly starting to leave and I couldn’t be more thankful, ready to be alone with Cam.
“I’m ready to take you to bed, Mrs. Taylor, and make love to my wife.”
Sparks shoot down my spine and a bolt of lust shoots through me and settles in my center. “When are they going to leave?” I whisper in his ear, eyeing the remaining guests that are still gathered and hanging out.
“I think the last of them can find their way out on their own.” He scoops me into his arms, cradling me to his chest. I giggle out my delight and wrap my arms around his neck.
“Thanks for coming,” Cam yells over his shoulder, jogging to the back porch. The yard erupts with cheers and laughter. “I’ve been dying to get you out of that dress all night.” He nips my ear, followed by a kiss at my nape.
I moan and moisture pools between my thighs. “Wait until you see what’s under it.”
He growls and darts up the stairs, kicking the bedroom door closed behind him.
We’ve been intimate with each other a million times, but this feels different. He’s mine and I’m his for the rest of our lives. And knowing that I’m carrying his child, proof of our love, makes me want him more than ever before.
Without a word, Cam moves behind me and starts to work the buttons free on my dress. His sharp intake of breath lets me know that he’s figured out I’m wearing a white lace corset.
Desire courses through my blood while thousands of fireflies dance in my stomach. It feels like the first time all over again. My dress pools around my feet.
Cam groans, “Dear, God. You’re beautiful.” He runs his finger across my back, along the top of the corset. “You know what these panties do to me.” He cups my ass in both hands and squeezes.
I shiver, warmth spreading through my veins at his approval.
“Turn around.”
I step out of my dress and spin to face him. All of the breath leaves me at the look in Cam’s eyes
—
ocean blue and swirling with love, lust, and pure happiness. I lick my lips, wanting so bad to kiss him, but not wanting to break this moment.
“Gabby.” He swallows. “You were beautiful before.” He takes a step towards me. “But knowing you’re pregnant with my child.” Another step. “You’re fuckin’ gorgeous.” Closer. “Cheeks glowing.” He reaches me and takes me into his arms. “You and our little one are my damn world. Thank you for giving me you.” He places his hand on stomach. “A family.”
I choke back a sob and a tear slips out. A few months ago when I ran out of my birth control pills and he said to stay off them, I thought for sure he would change his mind. As time passed the more excited he became of the thought of being a dad and starting a family together.
He leans down and kisses my tear away and unsnapping the clasp on my corset. “This is hot, but will it hurt the baby?”
I giggle, heart swelling with the love he already has for our child. “No, I’m only nine weeks, he’s okay in there.”
“It’s going to be a girl, with wavy hair and big blue eyes.” He places a kiss on my stomach.
I run my hands through his hair. “We’ll see.”
“Let’s celebrate and practice for the next one.” Running his tongue up between my breasts, he smirks and says, “I’m going to keep you barefoot and pregnant.” He sucks my nipple into his mouth.
“Mmm.” Electricity buzzes. I start undoing the buttons on his shirt, wanting to feel the hard planes of his chest.
He flicks my taut peak with the tip of his tongue, running his hands down my stomach, slipping them into my panties and dragging them down my legs.
I push his shirt off his shoulders and run my nails down his rippling muscles.
He lifts me up and moves me to the bed. Gently laying me down, he slips my boots off, and then quickly removes his along with his pants and boxer briefs.
My mouth waters when I see his cock jut out, his excitement evident by the tiny droplet glistening on the tip.
He crawls on top of me, pressing his mouth to mine, our tongues doing a slow dance. Full of passion and love, making me yearn for him to be inside me.
Moving his shaft to my swollen flesh, he eases in, drawing soft moans from both of us. His hips rock in a slow, soft motion, loving me with his body, and making me feel how much I mean to him. The intensity in his eyes, along with the emotion from the day, has my orgasm building fast. My body begins to quake and he picks up his pace.
“Oh, Cam, I love you.” I shatter into a million pieces, floating on thin air.
“I love you so much, Thumper.” He moans his release into my neck.
We’ve come so far and I never thought I would have Cam’s love, let alone mean so much to him and become his wife, the mother of his child. He’s my Prince Charming and I finally got my happily ever after.

Acknowledgments
First, I want to thank my husband and son for loving me and supporting me when I was deep into writing and didn’t get the house clean or supper on the table. Joey, thank you for picking up all the slack and making sure Will and I had dinner and clean clothes. Your love and support mean the world to me. Will, you are my whole world and will always be my baby, no matter how old you are.
To my family- Thank you all for being my number one fans and cheering me on from the sidelines. Mom and Becky, you all make me a giddy teenager all over again the way you go nuts over Cam. Linda, NEVER in a million years did I think you would pick my book up. Not only did you do that, but you were yelling for more. It meant the world to me. Dad, thanks for cheering me on, even though you had no clue what the hell was going on. Bub, thanks for helping me with Cam and Josh’s career. The rest of you, thank you for your encouraging words and for the support and endless love!!
Rox – Girl, I honestly can’t say where I would be without you. The brainstorming, the late night chats, and everything in between. When I needed a swift kick in the ass, you were there. You have not only become a writing buddy, but someone I consider a best friend. Thanks for the tough love, support, and kick ass crits. The hours you’ve spent helping me, I’ll never be able to thank you enough. I heart you, chick!
Carolyn- Not only are you a kick-ass editor, but one cool chick. Always pushing me to go on and never give up. The late night “Reality Check” conversations kept me going, taught me to dust off, and dive back in. You mean the world to me and I will always hold you dear to my heart. I’m so glad we took this journey together and can’t wait to see what the future brings!! I have mad love for you, chicka!!
JB- I feel like I owe most of this to you and Flight. If it hadn’t been for me picking your book up, I WOULD NOT be here today!! Reading Jonah and Raven’s story was the best decision of my life. Not only have you brought amazing books into my life, but friendships too. And most of all, you gave me courage to go after my dreams. So, I will NEVER be able to repay you. And anytime I’ve come to you for advice or help, you’ve always been there. I love you, girl!
Cristin- You saved me, big time. Thank you for taking time out of your crazy, busy life to help me with my blurb and for slapping me with reality. Can’t wait to hang with you again, huge hugs coming your way!
Sharon- You also helped me with my blurb and anything I’ve ever needed, you’ve been there! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Give Me Books Blog- What can I say, girls, I love you all. I love being a part of your team and miss you all terribly since I’ve not been around as much. Kylie, you kicked ass setting up my cover reveal and know the blog tour will be the same success! Thank you all for everything you do!
