“What? Really?” she gasps. “Where?”

“Where do you want to go? Italy? Paris? The Bahamas?”

“Are you serious?” she questions with wide excited eyes. “I can just pick a place and that’s where we’ll go?”

“Yep,” I smile.

“Well, what about you? Where do you want to go?”

“I want to be wherever you are. Hell, pick all the places you want to go. We’ll do it all.”

“Shit, are you kidding? How much did you drink tonight?”

“I’m not kidding,” I tell her, running my fingers down the side of her face and studying the concern in her eyes. “I’m taking you away tomorrow, everything is already sorted. All that’s left for you to do is to pick a destination or ten.”

Tora lets out a sigh as her whole body deflates. “I can’t,” she tells me. “I just accepted the job offer from Davies and Knight. It’ll look bad if I can’t start straight away.”

“Didn’t I tell you everything was already sorted?” I ask her. “I cleared it with Davies and Knight weeks ago.”

“What?” she grunts in confusion. “How the hell did you do that? I only just accepted the job offer this afternoon.”

“Babe,” I sigh, loving how still after eight years she can’t wrap her head around this. “I make it my business to know everything that’s going down in Broken Hill and the second I worked out that you wanted to be a lawyer, I sought out all the major firms in the area and made their business my business. I knew they were going to offer you that job months ago. They’ve had their eye on you for a while.”

“So… what?”

“I called them a few weeks ago and explained the situation, knowing they’ll most likely be your top choice. They were more than happy to wait a few weeks for you to start. They know you’re going to be an incredible lawyer and they prefer to wait for you than to hire a mediocre lawyer. They want the best.”

“So, we’re really going away? Tomorrow?”

“Yep,” I smile, watching the joy light up her face.

“Anywhere I want?”

“Anywhere.”

“Oh, shit. this is too much pressure” she tells me. “There are just too many places. I mean, where do we start? Beaches or cities? And only a few weeks? Maybe we need more time than that.”

“Babe,” I laugh. “Calm down. We can take as much time as we need. Why don’t we start with the cities? I know you’ve always wanted to do Europe. We can do that; see all the places you’ve always wanted to see and then finish on the beaches.”

“You know, I’ve always wanted to stay in one of those little hut thingies out on the water in Hawaii, or maybe it’s Bora Bora. I don’t know. I-”

I cut off her ramblings by crushing my lips to hers. We can leave tomorrow night or the next day. It doesn’t matter. She can spend tomorrow working out where she wants to go and what places to see, but right now, all I want to be thinking about are her lips. Her body. Her legs. Her face.

Fuck me. That beautiful face.

I grow hard as I press my hips into her. She moans into me and melts her body into mine.

I can’t fucking resist her any longer. All day I’ve been needing this with her and all day there’s always been someone there wanting to congratulate us or someone ready to handcuff us together. Actually, where the fuck did those handcuffs go?

I slide my hands down her body until I’m firmly grasping her ass before I pull her off the counter. Tora’s legs wrap around me and thankfully, her lips never stop moving against mine.

I turn and walk us towards the stairs, desperate to get her out of this damp wedding dress and into our bed. I push through our bedroom door where I set her down on her feet, holding onto her waist until she finds her balance.

Silently, Tora looks up at me with those big eyes and suddenly everything changes. It’s no longer about touching her body and feeling her skin on mine. It’s more than that. This is becoming one with the woman who has completely captured me. This is about starting our marriage in the right way. This is about love.

Tora brings her hand up and gently runs her fingers down the side of my face as pure love shines brightly through her eyes. “I love you so much,” she breathes before pushing up on her tippy toes and softly pressing her lips to mine, enveloping me with her overwhelming emotions as the love pours out of her.

“I love you too, baby,” I murmur as she pulls away.

She keeps her eyes on mine before slowly turning around and scooping her hair to the side. I step into her back and take her waist as I kiss that sensitive skin on her neck, loving how her head tilts to the side as a gentle moan slips through her lips.
