Saving Us (Mitchell Family #6)(52)
Author: Jennifer Foor

Most guys get nervous on the big day, but not Conner Healy. Yeah, I referred to myself. I wasn’t nervous because I knew without a doubt that this was exactly what I wanted to do. Every single time I looked into my daughters eyes I knew that her mother was my forever.

On that big day our families started rolling in, taking their part in our service. Colt surprised us and took some class to become an ordained minister, so he decided that I was to be his first marriage. It was pretty cool, so Amy and I didn’t even think about saying no.

She’d been pretty secretive about something and I knew it had to do with the big day, so I couldn’t wait to see what she had in store.

She was going to be pissed, but I wore my best jeans and my cowboy boots, along with a white button up shirt. Ty told me that it would look fine with what she was wearing, so I knew she was going to look hot.

It was about that time, where she would come walking out of the house and take my breath away, except when the music started, she didn’t come out of the house. Instead, she came walking around the side of the house, pulling a decorated radio flyer wagon. Inside was the prettiest little thing just looking up at the sky. Her mother took my breath away. Amy had curls mixed with little white flowers stuck throughout her hair. She was wearing a little white sundress with my favorite cowboy boots. She had a bouquet of white daisies and a smile that was bigger than I had ever seen. In that moment, it didn’t matter who was sitting in all those chairs. The only thing I saw was my girls. When she reached me, I pulled her into my arms and kissed her right away.

I could hear the crowd of family laughing at my rudeness. Colt tapped on my shoulder. “I know this is my first ceremony, but I’m pretty sure that comes last, cuz.”

I pulled away and looked right into Amy’s eyes. “You’re so beautiful.”

She smiled and looked into the crowd. “Sorry!”

Colt grabbed the fabric of both of our clothes and forced us to turn around and look his way. “Did ya’ll want to be married today, or stand around and make out.”

I looked down at Amy and she smiled. We looked back at Colt, and at the same time we said, “both!”

The crowd laughed. “Let’s get this show on the road. I have a hot date tonight.” I winked at Amy and the crowd started to laugh.

Colt started commencing the service. He read from his book and did a pretty damn good job. When it got to the part where we were to say our own vows, he sat down and gave us our moment.

Amy looked right into my eyes. Her’s were watery, but she was doing a good job holding it together. She started to talk, but Cammie began to cry. My mother ran up and grabbed her, so that we could continue. I held her hands and rubbed them with my thumbs.

“Conner. You came into my life like a big fat jerk. I will never forget the first thing you said to me on that day we met. You told me that if I ever wanted a ride from a real cowboy, that I should come to you.”

We could hear people making sounds like they were shocked. I looked out at our family. “Hey, I was just bein’ honest.”

Amy shook her head and started talking again. “There was a time in my life where I was in trouble and as much as I tried to avoid it, you were always there, keeping me safe. I don’t know when the exact moment was that I fell in love with you, but once I did, I knew that you were all I’d ever want again.”

I leaned down and kissed her again. When I started hearing comments, I looked out at my family. “This is my wedding and my damn yard. If I want to kiss my woman, I’m goin’ to.”

Some people started laughing.

I cleared my throat. “I thought about us saying our vows, and to be honest, I didn’t want to. The idea is just crazy. We all know why we’re here.” I shook my head and smiled. Amy looked like she was going to kick me and those boots would hurt. “Here is my best rendition. “I knew when I first saw you that I wanted more. I waited a long damn time for you to give yourself to me, though. You had all these excuses on how it was never goin’ to happen. I fought so darn hard for you. Hell, I even took a bullet for you. Now, you’re all mine and that’s just the way it’s goin’ to be. I love you, Blaze. I’ll always love you.” I slipped my mother’s ring onto her finger and she looked up at me, shocked.

She threw her arms around my neck and planted the biggest kiss on me, including tongue. At first our family and friends were quiet, but once they realized that we weren’t stopping, they began to clap.

I guess Colt gave up. “Okay, obviously they are married. Let’s get this reception started.”

My family always knew how to celebrate. They drank and ate. We didn’t want any of those traditional things that most weddings had. We just wanted everyone to party with us.

Once it got dark outside, we lit a big bonfire and played some country music.

Our family was growing and our bonds were becoming stronger. I was real proud of that.

A little later, I couldn’t find Amy. I knew she was probably putting Cammie to bed, so I went looking for her. When I reached the hallway, I saw her closing our daughter’s bedroom door. She held her finger up to her lips and I nodded.

I grabbed Amy’s hand and pulled her into our bedroom. I took my boot and closed the door, before pushing her up against it. She bit down on her lip and wrapped her arms around me. “Wives are supposed to please their man.”

“I plan on it.”

“I think you should start right now, because if I have to wait another damn minute to get you undressed, I don’t know what will happen.”

Amy kissed my lips slowly. “We can’t have that, can we?”

I picked her up and wrapped her legs around my back. “Hell no!”

Amy reached down and unbuckled my belt. I felt my jeans loosen and her hand reach down inside. As soon as she had a hold of my cock, I knew we were going to get right down to business. “What about everyone outside?”

“We’ll have to make it quick. Now slide them panties over and let me in.” I kissed her hard, not holding back my pent up desire. I wanted her and I was going to have her, right here against this door.

As soon as it was in position, I thrusted myself inside of her. She gasped and found my lips again. I steadied my hold on her body, making sure she was sliding down. The door was making a banging sound each time I pushed my hot erection into her. We didn’t care. We were too caught up in the moment to care about anything other than ourselves. I’d been fighting this erection since the moment I laid eyes on her coming around the corner of our house.
