Broken Dreams (Broken #2)(37)
Author: Kelly Elliott

Reed pulled back, and I opened my eyes. Our eyes caught, and as I called out in pleasure, he smiled so big that I couldn’t help but smile back. He reached his hand down to mine and pulled out the vibrator. He moved my body farther into the truck and slowly began rubbing on my clit with his hard dick.

“I can’t…not again…Reed, I can’t,” I said between gasps of air.

When I felt him slowly slide in, I wanted to cry. Something about this whole thing felt so…magical. As he moved in and out of me, he kissed me across my chest, up my neck, and along my jawline.

When he reached my right ear, he whispered, “I love you, Courtney. I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you. I can’t wait to see your stomach growing bigger with my child.”

I began crying hard as I wrapped my arms around him. “I love you, Reed. God, I love you so much.”

Then, Reed pushed into me so deep that I sucked in a breath of air. The moan that he let out told me he was coming, and I felt him pulsing inside me, giving me everything he had. I took all of it as I squeezed around him. He stopped moving and held himself above me for a few minutes before I moved over and turned on my side. He lay behind me and pulled me against him, and he held me as we lay there in silence. Something wonderful had just happened between us, and I wasn’t really sure what it was. Once Reed’s breathing became normal again, I turned around on the small seat and faced him.

“How fast can we get married?” I asked.

I’d never seen Reed smile so big in my life. It was like I’d just told him he won a million dollars.

“I’ll marry you right now if you want.”

I looked down at his tattoo on his chest—my heart—and then back into his eyes. I gave him a wink and said, “I’ve always wanted to go to Lake Tahoe.”

I watched as Courtney ran up the stairs in her house to pack a suitcase.

She stopped at the top of the steps and looked down at me. “Do you want to call Layton? Or should I call Whit?”

I smiled and said, “I’ll call Layton. You just pack, angel.”

The smile she flashed caused me to take in a sharp breath of air.

“Oh. My. God. We’re really going to do this, aren’t we?”

“I’ll do whatever you want, Court. We can do this, or we can invite five hundred people to a church. As long as I can marry you, I don’t care how we do it.”

She gave me a wink and made her way into her room. I pulled out my cell phone and hit Layton’s number. I walked into the living room and sat down on the sofa. I took a deep breath and got ready to do the one thing I’d been so terrified to do since my father walked out on my mother.

“Hey, dude. You and Court ever make it back to the party?” Layton asked with a chuckle.

I smiled and asked, “Did you and Whitley?”

“Fuck no. Did you see how my hot pregnant wife was dressed? I took her home and performed my husbandly duties.”

I made a face and tried to shake the image out of my head. “Jesus, too much information, you ass.”

“I don’t even think anyone noticed when we left, to be honest. I’m pretty sure everyone is gone now,” Layton said.

I heard Whitley talking to someone in the background.

“Who is Whit talking to?” I asked as I pushed my hand through my hair. I was nervous as hell to tell Layton that Courtney and I were on our way to Austin to catch a plane to Reno.

“Jen. She stopped by to say good-bye before she left with Kate.”

“Oh.”

“Spill it, Reed,” Layton said as I heard Jen’s and Whitley’s voices fading.

He must be walking away from them. “Um…”

“Reed, is everyone okay? Did something happen between you and Courtney?”

I smiled as I looked out in the hallway. “Oh yeah, something pretty damn big happened.”

Layton let out a small chuckle. “Well, are you going to fill me in or make me stand here and guess?”

I slowly took in a deep breath and let it out. “Court and I wanted to know if you and Whitley…if y’all wanted to…” Fuck, I can’t breathe.

“If Whitley and I want to what? Reed, what in the hell is going on?”

Shit. What if I hurt her? What if I can’t make her as happy as she makes me? I closed my eyes and thought back to just a little bit ago and how amazing making love to her had been. I would do everything in my power to never hurt her—ever. From this point on, my goal was to make Courtney happy and keep her safe.

“Reed? Are you still there?” Layton asked.

“Yeah, um…Court and I want you and Whitley to go with us to Lake Tahoe,” I blurted out so fast that I was sure he would need me to repeat it.

“Oh, hell yeah! I’d love to take Whitley to Lake Tahoe. When are y’all thinking of going?”

I looked down at my watch and said, “In about five hours.”

Silence.

“Layton?” I practically whispered.

“Five hours? Holy shit…is this what I think it is?”

I nodded my head and slowly said, “Yeah…and I’d like nothing more than for you to be there when I marry the love of my life.”

“Son of a bitch. Reed, what in the hell? Y’all are eloping?”

I heard Whitley let out a small scream.

“What? Oh my God. I want to talk to Courtney! When? Where?” Whitley was yelling out.

I couldn’t help but laugh as I imagined Whitley running for her phone to call Courtney.

“Uh…Whitley is calling Courtney right now,” Layton said.

Not even thirty seconds later, I heard Courtney scream from upstairs.

“I think Court is talking to Whit now,” I said with a chuckle.

“Reed, are y’all sure? You don’t think you’re moving too fast? Courtney doesn’t want a wedding?”

“Layton, I know I want to spend the rest of my life with Court. It was her idea to get married as soon as possible. I want to spend the rest of my life with her, and this feels so completely right. I mean, I’m scared as hell, but at the same time, nothing has ever felt so right in my life.”

I wished I could see Layton’s face right now.

He let out a small breath. “What airline? And what time does the flight leave?”

I jumped up and did a fist pump. “Thank you, Layton. Shit, you don’t know what this means to me to have you there.”

He let out a laugh as I heard Whitley yelling something about packing a bag.
