me and Jace takes my hand, pulling me in front of him. There’s a split second where we just stand looking at one another, neither speaking.
    “You look beautiful,” he appreciates and adores me in one swift sentence.
    “Thank you.” I blush and take in my surroundings. In the time I took a shower and got ready, Jace has transformed the back of the villa into a candlelit haven, complete with fairy lights and flowers. “Did you arrange this?” I ask him. I keep my voice low, the surprise crippling me. He just gives me an award winning smile and doesn’t give anything away.
    “With my help,” I hear a familiar voice and see Chase turn around. Of course, after the misdemeanor of him busting me out of the party, I now know him as Jake, Jace’s older brother. Apparently, the rhyming of the name Chase was supposed to give me a little clue as to what was going on – one I missed entirely. “You won’t attack me this time will you?”
    I laugh and shake my head. “You made it convincing. I’ll only hit you if you make me wait too long to be your brother’s wife.”
    “Well then, I guess we best not delay this moment!” Jake speaks up, Eli in heavy agreement. “I mean I did get ordained for today, don’t let that go to waste.”
    We all laugh, but it’s Jace who comes back with seriousness.
    “Shall we?” Jace asks, and I nod my head vehemently.
    Jake clears his throat. “Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here-”
    It starts off so normal, traditional. My hands tighten on Jace’s, and I feel myself get lost when our eyes meet. We’re about to exchange vows, entwining our lives far more than ever before. I will be bound to the man before me for the rest of my life. He will forever be my easiest hello and hardest goodbye. He’ll wake me with kisses, annoy me with his habits, and I’ll love him with my entire heart. We’ll be the better version of us. We’ll be a wedded couple.
    And that’s when I float back to earth, hearing the one sentence that finalizes it all.
    “I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss your wife, bro!”
    Jace reacts, not to his brother’s casualness at our marriage, but being told to kiss me. He’s had that look in his eyes that tell me he feels what I do – he wanted me hours ago. He pulls me close, his arm snaking around my waist, pulling me close as his lips crash down upon mine, eliciting the sparks, causing the ripples of love throughout me.
    As I feel confetti rain down upon us, I’m only powered to kiss my husband a little longer.
    And as the thought settles, my heart stutters to a halt – my husband.

Chapter Five
     
     
    I’ve been waiting for my husband to take me and devour me whole since Eli, Jake, and Josh and his wife left. It’s our wedding night, and I expect to feel deliciously sore in the morning. However, the only way that can happen is if I have a husband here to do the deed.
    I hear him coming and resume my position amongst the pillows. The bedding is all white cotton with a silk sheet. I feel like I’m cast back to my old life, but when I hear those familiar steps get closer, I remember that life is far behind me. Before he enters, I decide to call out, goad him to be ready for me.
    “I was almost tempted to get started alone,” I tease as he enters the room already naked. My face falls as I’m presented with his statuesque stature, his body tanned by the copious amount of sun we have lounged around in.
    “I thought I’d left you waiting too long, so I saved the problem of getting undressed for you,” he states and shrugs as he looks down at himself.
    I crawl to the end of the bed in just my bra and panties. “I’m not complaining.” I say as I reach up and wrap my arms around his body. “I love you, Mr. Mason.”
    “I love you more, Mrs. Mason.” He kisses me, and I mew in pleasure, both at the intimacy gravitating toward us and the sound of my new name. Nothing has ever sounded more right in my life. “One day I will marry you
