Steele and Carver and spotted Sage standing off to the side with Taz and Lucy. Christ, she was gorgeous. He’d wanted her from the first moment he’d laid eyes on her. The thought that she was finally his and that they were going to spend the rest of their lives together was more than he could ever hope for. He didn’t deserve her, especially after what he’d put her through, but she was his, and damn if he wasn’t going to bust his ass for the rest of his life making it up to her. That much he could promise.
Carver leaned over and whispered, “Which one of you pissed her off?”
“Who?” Ax and Steele asked at the same time.
Carver leaned back, and Meg came into view. She was staring at them with a look of disgust on her face.
“Who do you think?” Steele muttered, glaring at Ax.
The music changed and their attention snapped to the back of the room. Murmurs turned to gasps as Donny escorted LuLu through the open doorway. She looked beautiful—not as beautiful as Sage—but close. Steele was a lucky man.
The ceremony was quick. Afterward, while waiting for the pictures to be taken, he drank a glass of champagne while loving on Sage. Once the pictures were done, they headed outside to the reception.
The entire back of The Cave had been transformed. Under a giant white tent sat six, large, round tables.
“Ooh, so pretty,” Sage cooed as they took in the gold tablecloths and green chair covers. At the center of each table was a massive flower arrangement and several lit candles. One end of the tent held a buffet and the other a large stage. Steele spared no expense.
He held out his arm. “What kind of wedding would you like?”
Sage’s eyes cut to his, her brows slowly rising. Taking his arm, she asked, “Are we talking marriage, now, Mr. Easton?”
Temptress. He gave her a devilish grin. “We’re going to be talking so much more than marriage tonight, sweetheart.” Her face flushed, her eyes dilating with lust.
Reyn and Buck began the toasts by announcing that they had a special gift for Steele and LuLu. Music started playing and all eyes shifted to the stage.
“Oh, my god, it’s Meltdown!” Sage gasped.
Several shouts of “Meltdown!” rang around the tent.
Impressive. Reyn’s cousin, Evan Walker, played keyboards for the famous band.
LuLu and Steele hugged Reyn and Buck before making their way to the stage where they shook hands with each of the band members. The drummer, Chaz Jones, began a light tap on the snares. Lead singer and guitarist, Grant Hardy, joined on the guitar. It wasn’t until Evan started playing the keys that Ax recognized Ray LaMontagne’s “I Was Born to Love You.” Grant began to sing at the same time bassist, Nash Bostwick, joined in. He had to admit; they were damn good.
By the time the buffet opened for dinner, the guests were well on their way to drunk, Sage included. As he had plans to get her naked at the first opportunity, he made sure to pace himself. By the time he whisked her downstairs and into the dark, and thankfully, empty wine cellar, she was a hot mess. A hot mess he couldn’t wait to sink his cock into.
“It’s dark,” she whispered before breaking into giggles. Irritated that all three bedrooms were locked, he led her behind Arson’s mammoth beer-making machine. He didn’t care if he got caught with his ass hanging out, but no one was going to see Sage’s sweet body. Giggles turned to moans as his lips found her neck, and he began to suck.
“No hickeys,” she gasped when she figured out what he was doing.
Fuck yeah, he was going to mark her. That way, when she gave the band goo-goo eyes, they would know not to touch her. As he continued his assault on her neck, he reached for the bottom of her dress and began to slowly inch it up her body.
Her lips found his, her champagne-tongue delving inside his mouth at the same time she grabbed the bottom of her dress and jerked it to her waist. So much for taking it slow. While he relieved her of her panties, she latched onto his zipper, yanking it down. The cool breeze licked against his bare skin as her warm fingers wrapped around his cock.
“I love your big cock,” she breathed.
“That’s good because I’m about to fuck you with it.”
He dipped his fingers inside her wet heat while she jacked his cock.
