STAY

Sixty Seven

I was running out of steam. I had danced with everyone, twice! The band had played all my favorite songs and I had thoroughly enjoyed each of them. I was standing with Caroline and my dad, when a couple of friends tried to grab my hand and pull me away again. "She'll have to take a raincheck, we have official bride and groom stuff to do" said a voice, Jared, my savior. They booed laughingly, dancing off together without me. "Oh thank God, I couldn't keep going" I whispered gratefully. "I can tell, you look so tired" he said cupping my cheek tenderly. "What do we have to do now?" I sighed, smiling at him. "I lied, we've got nothing to do. But let's just take a few more photos so it doesn't look like I lied" he laughed. I grinned, taking his hand, "we're going to have a dance" said Caroline, I smiled at her nodding, "good idea, go and shake it" I laughed. My dad just groaned and rolled his eyes as she dragged him away. We walked a little distance away from the festivities, over to a stone wall that looked out over the ocean. "So, it's almost over, how do you feel?" he asked me as he sat on the wall, pulling me between his legs. "Relieved, but so happy. I couldn't be happier" I said placing my hands on his shoulders. "Me too. Gigi, it feels like just yesterday I met you and when I think that, I think this all happened so damn fast" he said, my heart suddenly sank at his words. He must have realized because he shook his head, "no no, I'm not done. But it somehow feels like I've known you forever, I feel like you've just been there, waiting in the wings to appear in my life" he said pulling me closer for a kiss. We heard the tell tale snap of a camera, thank goodness it was our photographer. "The sunset background, I couldn't resist" he called out. We both laughed, "I'm thinking we should release one official photo, I mean a lot of our friends are probably going to post photos that everyone will get hold of" he said shrugging. I nodded, "I don't mind, you're the expert at this publicity stuff. You do whatever you like" I said. He nodded, I knew he'd do whatever he thought was best. "I can't wait to go and relax after all this madness" I said, "me too, I'm sorry it's so short" he said. Our honeymoon was only for a week, he had commitments of course so he couldn't spare any more time. But we were going to go to Italy for a few days, official Gucci work, but that would be an added bit of fun. "I don't mind, I'm just happy to have you alone to myself for a week" I said sliding my arms around his neck. "We have a tiny hitchhiker with us" he murmured, a small smile crossing his lips. I exhaled and nodded slowly, "we do .... but we don't need to, think too much about it just yet, right?" I said raising an eyebrow. "I want to talk about it, I feel, excited by what's ahead. A little nervous, but excited" he said, he ran his hand around my waist, briefly placing it on my belly. "I'm very nervous, I don't know that I'm excited just yet. I've been so preoccupied with the wedding, I've pushed it to the back of my mind. I guess it will be a priority soon enough" I said, trying to sound positive. "I know you think it's too soon, I know you're scared about how it will change our relationship. But honestly, I think we would have had these doubts no matter when it happened. We will be okay. It'll still be you and I, together on this journey. You trust me don't you?" he asked. I nodded, exhaling softly. "Yes, of course" I replied. I was still nervous, but somehow his words calmed me. "When do you think we can go? I mean we've cut the cake, made the speeches, danced, mingled. That's us done right?" I said moving in closer to him. He laughed, "I love how cut and dry you are, thanks for coming, we're done, bye" he said continuing to laugh. I shrugged, "well, it's true, I think we've entertained them long enough" I said grinning. He raised an eyebrow, biting his bottom lip. I almost groaned, he knew how much that turned me on. "Soon" he said wistfully. I wrapped my arms around his neck, leaning in to kiss him. "Please, I really want to go" I whispered against his lips. He laughed and held me against him, "okay, okay, we'll do the big farewell, then we'll go. They can all stay and keep partying" he said. I smiled excitedly, "thank you" I said kissing him again, then pulling him up and leading him back, laughing. We walked around bidding everyone goodbye and thanking them for coming. I steeled myself to say bye to my mom. Jared squeezed my hand in support. "Bye mom, thanks for coming" I said plastering on a smile. She nodded, "goodbye Genevieve, perhaps I'll see you at Christmas" she said airily. "Only if you're in New York" I said. "Or LA, your dad said they might come out here for Christmas" added Jared. She practically turned her nose up at him, "well, we shall see" she replied. I gave her a stiff hug and Jared took my hand leading me away. "I doubt that" I murmured, Jared grinned at me as we made our way to my dad and Caroline. "We're going" I said as she held out her arms enveloping me in a warm hug. "Congratulations darling, you enjoy your honeymoon" she said warmly. "Thank you for all your help" I said stepping back. "Oh it was my pleasure, absolutely had so much fun" she smiled. I hugged my dad, he patted my back gently, "have a nice time Genevieve" he said. "When will I see you?" I asked as we separated. "Well, you can come visit anytime you like, hopefully before Christmas" he said. "I'll come visit" said Caroline hopefully. I nodded, "that would be great, and maybe we can do Christmas here?" I said glancing at Jared. He nodded, "that'd be great" he agreed. "Your mother won't like that" he said amused. I shrugged, trying not to pull a face, "too bad, she's more interested in her boyfriend. I could care less" I sneered quietly. He frowned, "did you tell her, about the baby?" he said quietly. I shook my head, "no, I .... she'll just say something to upset me and I wasn't having it, not today" I said. He nodded, "fair enough" he said. "Well off you go!" said Caroline in a cheery voice breaking the momentary seriousness, I smiled and waved as we walked off. We headed to Shannon and his mom. I thanked her profusely for all her help and she hugged me affectionately, "congratulations again sweetheart, you looked beautiful. Enjoy your honeymoon won't you" she said. "Thank you and yes we will" I said nodding. "Bye gorgeous" said Shannon hugging me gently, "take care" he said softly in my ear. "I will, thank you" I said. He pulled back, looking like he wanted to say more, but instead smiled and let me go. Jared hugged them both and grabbed my hand leading me away. We gave one last wave while everyone cheered and he helped me into the big black waiting SUV. I lay my head on his shoulder sighing with happiness, feeling blessed. "Me too baby, me too" he murmured kissing my forehead. Always knowing my heart.

Jared's POV -
We had arrived at the hotel, waving briefly to the handful of reporters that had been following us. She was quiet and her energy was waning as I helped her remove her beautiful dress, exhaling appreciatively at the sight of her in her lacy thong and bra. I held her hand and spun her around, laughing as her veil billowed out around her. "I'm getting dizzy" she giggled. "Let's take it off" I said. I carefully removed her crown and veil, gently running my fingers along her scalp. She closed her eyes, a look of bliss on her face. "Was that heavy?" I asked. "It wasn't too heavy but the clips got a little sore after a while" she sighed. Silently I scooped her up and carried her to bed, laying her down, telling her I'd be back in a minute. I took my hair out of the braid, shaking it loose and stripped down to my jockeys. As I came out of the bathroom I looked over to the bed and grinned. She was out like a light, curled up, her hands near her cheeks. Her lips parted slightly as she slept. I didn't have the heart to wake her up, she was exhausted. She had taken off her bra and thong I noticed amused, she must have thought she was going to stay awake. I slid under the covers pulling her close, she mumbled a little in her sleep, but didn't wake. I didn't mind, we had plenty of wedding nights ahead of us. I was kind of tired as well. I closed my eyes and within moments it was lights out for me too.

I woke up slowly, but minutes later my eyes snapped open. Fuck!! I'd fallen asleep on my wedding night!! I turned to look at the peacefully sleeping Jared. He was sprawled out, the sheet was down around his hips, one arm slung up next to his head, the other resting on his stomach. His hair fanned out around his beautiful face, messy but oh so sexy. I felt a flutter in the pit of my stomach as I glanced at his left hand. The wedding ring shiny, reminding me he was all mine. I moved quietly, pulling down the sheet, not surprised to find him half hard already. The man dreamed of sex! I wasted no time, grasping him firmly at the base, pumping him hard but slowly. I flicked my tongue out lapping at the pearly moisture already gathering at the tip. I covered the head swirling my tongue around it, sliding it up and down the length of him, then took him into my mouth, holding him there for a moment then pulled all the way out again. "What the fuck" he groaned waking up, his head lifting off the pillow to look down at me, then falling back in pleasure. I began to greedily suck him, taking his shaft deep into my throat again and again. "Gigi..." he hissed through gritted teeth, suddenly wide awake, his hands twisted in my hair gripping tight. I let him slide out of my mouth sucking hard as I released him with a pop. He gave me a moment before pushing my head down, I fought the urge to gag as he pushed his cock to the back of my throat. His grip in my hair got tighter as he tried to stay in control, his movements, faster, harder. I knew he was close, I felt him thrust up once, twice more, finally feeling the warm stream hit the back of my throat. Swallowing quickly, I felt the last few shudders run through him and finally let him slip out of my mouth, letting him go and lying down next to him. "God I love being married" he groaned with a laugh. I rolled my eyes, but couldn't help grinning.
