“Oh my God, Ronan, please.”
“Please what, Danny? Are ya begging to be my wife or is there something else ya want?”
He wrapped his hand around my neck and reached between my legs to rub my pussy. He had set a slow pace that drove me crazy.
“Ya feel how deep I am inside ya. Say it.”
“Oh my God. I love you.”
I blink rapidly as I come back to the present. Oh, I said that shit. I screamed it, I cried it out. I whispered and whimpered it in his ear.
Ronan has never made love to me like he did last night. I was helpless against him. I also remember the bet I drunkenly made.
“Aye, ya remember now, don’t ya?”
I nod, not able to speak. Yesterday was so overwhelming, but I didn’t think one drunken night would end like this. I’m not going to go back on my word. Besides, I want to do this for my mom.
“We don’t have to do this,” Ronan says as he watches my face.
“No. I’m going to follow through. I’m just allowing it to sink in. Unless you changed your mind.”
He reaches for me and pulls me to him for a firm and demanding kiss. I wrap my arms around his neck. The minty taste of his mouth reminds me of my atrocious morning breath.
This man really loves my ass. I pull away before he can come to his senses or get sick to his stomach. I need to brush my teeth and pull my thoughts together. I’m getting married.
***
I’m in awe. Ronan had them send racks of dresses and trunks of shoes to my suite for me to look through so my mom could help me pick the perfect dress for our wedding. I wasn’t expecting this.
The smile on my mother’s face has made it all worth it. I knew the dress from the moment I saw it, but I still tried on a few before it. It’s perfect and fits like a glove.
The gorgeous V-neck empire dress has simple, clean lines. The subtle details are everything. The satin dress molds to my breasts and drapes over my hips like it was meant to be painted on me.
Tiny crystals run along the seams of the dress, taking the simplicity to a level of sophisticated elegance. The small train in the back pools behind me and has a smattering of tiny crystals. I love this dress so much.
My chest filled with so much joy as I looked at my reflection after putting it on. Now I’m getting my makeup done after a loc technician he hired for me finished weaving an intricate style in my hair. Even I can see I’m glowing.
“Ya look absolutely gorgeous.”
I turn around and gasp as Laoise McGowan stands in the doorway next to my mother. She has a huge smile on her face and tears in her eyes. She looks pretty in the green dress she has on. It works with her skin and hair.
“You came?” I breathe.
“I would have been here for that little shit Braxton if he would have given me notice. Ronan knows I would have had his balls for making me wait all this time just for me to miss out on the ceremony. I was on the first thing smoking after he called me last night, I was. So it is,” she replies, getting choked up at the end.
“I’m so happy you could make it. Now I’m really nervous,” I laugh on a shaky breath.
“Don’t worry. If he tries to run, I’ll put a bullet in his backside meself. He’d have to be out of his mind to let ya slip away. Besides, it’s not every day ya get me over here to the States. We’re going to have ourselves a grand time.”
“Laoise and I are going to get to know each other while sipping this champagne over here,” my mother says, and she leads Ronan’s mother over to sit in the little area they set up for brunch for us.
I haven’t been able to eat a thing. This is really happening. I’m getting married.
Ronan
“I want ya to know I’m proud of ya. I know how hard things were for ya when … ya know. I wasn’t sure if it would break ya and leave ya broken.
“I figured in time ya would heal. That’s why I never got on yer back about finding someone and getting married. I wanted to give ya time.”
Da pauses and shrugs. “I would have let ya be if it never happened because I understood ya. As yer da, I’ve been hurting for twenty-four years because I couldn’t fix it for ya. Yer me last-born.
“The biggest of my lot, but my wee un. Don’t tell yer sister but I also think yer the strongest. Lesser men have crumbled under the weight of all ya’ve been through. I’m mighty proud of ya, Ronan.
