“Thank you for coming,” I say to Judge Roberts.
“I’m sorry I have to leave so quickly, but the ceremony was beautiful,” Judge Roberts says a moment later.
“No worries, Judge. I trust that no one else will have access to this information,” Enzo says casually, though there’s a hint of something in his voice, a threat maybe?
“Of course. I’ll keep it under wraps,” the judge says, as Enzo nods to Bruno to show the man out, who pretty much hightails it out of the apartment while the priest also leaves with him.
“Congratulations,” Aldo, followed by Bruno when he comes back, says to us.
Giana puts on the music, and we dance a couple of songs before everyone grabs some food to eat, which I’m glad for because I’m starving.
“Alright, guys, I’m taking my wife up to bed. Stay, eat, drink, and dance for as long as you want,” Enzo says after we’re done eating and have relaxed for a while. He grabs my hand, and we walk away to the sound of cheers and whistles behind us.
CHAPTER 25
ENZO
“Stay right here for a second,” I say to my wife, as I stop right in front of our closed bedroom door.
“What are you doing?” she asks.
Pushing the door open, I lift her up into my arms and step into the room. “Walking my wife over the threshold.”
I didn’t want to lift her from downstairs and bring her all the way up here, so as not to put any unnecessary pressure on her belly. I quickly walk over to the bed and put her down on the edge of it.
“I already live here,” she laughs.
“Doesn’t matter. This is our bedroom, and it’s technically your first time in here since becoming my wife,” I explain.
“Mmm. I love hearing you call me your wife,” she murmurs.
“Well, don’t worry. You’ll be hearing a lot of that from me,” I tell her, winking before turning around to go close the door behind us.
As the lock clicks, the rest of the world beyond this door disappears. I turn around, and for a moment I don’t move, neither does she. I just stand there and take her in, our gazes locked onto one another, as the faint hum of the music fromdownstairs can still be heard. But right now, it’s just her. It’s just us in this room.
My motherfucking wife.
All mine.
I watch as she begins to fidget when I just keep staring at her. Truth is, I still can’t believe she belongs to me. Her fingers brush the edge of her veil as if she forgot it’s even there. Just then, her rings catch the light, and a wave of possessive energy washes over me.Oh yeah, she’s all mine with those rings on her finger.
The dress looked even more gorgeous on her than I imagined. She literally took my breath away when I first glimpsed her wearing it.
But right now, there’s too much fabric on her. I want to see her gorgeous naked body already. I’ve been dying to fuck her since yesterday! Who would have thought I’d be suffering from blue balls on my wedding day?
I slowly walk back over to her, but I don’t touch her right away. There’s a question in her eyes. I’m sure she thought I’d be devouring her as soon as we made it up here, with the way I’ve had her on edge since yesterday.
But no, I want to take my time with her tonight. Though I’m barely holding on to my restraint, as it stands. I gently pull her up to her feet, stepping back to take a moment to run my appreciative gaze over her body, admiring her.
“Did I tell you how beautiful you looked today?” I ask, and she shakes her head. “My bad, baby. You looked so gorgeous today, it made me speechless. You have no idea what you looked like walking down the aisle toward me. You were a fucking vision, so pretty like an angel.”
“Thank you,” she replies, a pretty pink blush staining her cheeks.
“Thank God we didn’t have a big wedding because I would’ve had to gouge some eyes out for looking at what’s mine,” I growl,while she just throws her head back and laughs, the sound a happy one.
“Pretty sure that can’t be helped at any wedding. I mean, the bride and groom are usually the center of attention.”
“I’ve been thinking about this dress all afternoon. Thinking about how I can’t wait to strip it off you,” I murmur, both of my hands holding her face, fingers curving along her jaw as I tilt her face up to mine before I slowly lean down and press my lips to hers.
