She tries to look inside of her heart to decide whether she should leave Carmen behind or spend the rest of her with her. What will she decide? And what will life be like after she makes her decision?'

As everyone enjoyed themselves at Shane and Carmen's wedding reception, Shane watched Carmen interact with her brothers and sisters at their table as they were finishing up the meal. When she looked to see Shane staring at her lovingly, she realized how truly loved she felt. She excused herself from her siblings, and walked over Shane who was sitting at their private table. She then said over the loud chitter chatter of people at every table having a discussion, "Hey, come on. Let's go dance!"

Shane, grinning happily, replied whispering in Carmen's ear, "Sure, wifey!"

Carmen then proceeded to drag Shane towards the dance floor as right on cue to their arrival on the floor a slow dance song started, and then DJ announced, "Let's hear it for the newlyweds, as they get the first dance of the night."

There was applause as others were clinking the silverware against their glasses, signaling for Shane and Carmen to kiss for the hundredth time that night. They couldn't get enough of each other anyways though, so they didn't mind. So when their lips connected again, they still felt the familiar tingle throughout their body and neither of them could wait to get to their room later that night.

As they parted, Carmen rested her head against Shane's chest as the slowly shuffled from side to side. As they danced they interlinked the fingers of one of their hands as their other hand clung to their significant other. As they danced, they looked into each other's eyes. They poured all their love, passion, devotion, and contentedness into the way they looked at each other. It was like saying to each other silently how much they really meant to each other and how much they need one another. Thankfully, they both got the message as they continued enjoying their wonderful wedding reception

After another hour or so, they excused themselves from the reception. As they made their way to the elevator Shane stopped abruptly as they reached it and initiated a heated kiss with Carmen, pouring all of what she was feeling into the kiss they were sharing with each other. As they broke apart, their eyes still closed and breathing irregular and heavy. When they finally opened their eyes, they saw something they both couldn't recognize. Then suddenly, the elevator dinged and the elevator door opened. They both rushed into it before it would close again. Once they entered the elevator, they were making their way to the top floor penthouse suite. As they waited for the elevator, Carmen glanced to the side at Shane and asked, "Can you believe that this is happening, that we're married?"

Shane looked at Carmen and replied happily, "No, it seems like a dream come true for me."

Carmen looked at Shane and brought her hand up to rest against Shane's cheek, as they started inching forward slowly for a kiss. Then the elevator dinged abruptly, interrupting them. However they both smiled at each other as the doors slide open. They then stepped out of the elevator and made their way to the room. Once at the door, Shane reached into her tuxes pocket and grabbed the room key. After they made their way into the room, they looked around and were stunned. There was a complete built in kitchen, living room with a flat screen TV, and as they entered the bedroom they saw a huge king size bed, with a beautiful tapestry hung above the bed and a dresser with another flat screen TV propped onto it across from the bed.

As Shane looked around the room, Carmen stared at Shane. She thought about how much she loved Shane and how much she knew Shane loved her. She then called Shane's name, "Shane…"

When she turned around, Carmen walked up to her. Shane then stared into Carmen's eyes longingly, as if she needed reassurance this was real. Carmen smiled at her as Shane took a deep breath and pulled the white veil off of Carmen's long brown locks of hair and ran her hand through it. Carmen hummed contentedly wrapping her arms around Shane's neck, and kissed Shane sweetly before sitting her down on the bed. She turned around and bent over so Shane could unzip her dress. As Shane unzipped it, she kissed the middle of Carmen's back sending nostalgic shivers down Carmen's spine, remembering how they did this after her cousins' quinceañera.

As Carmen stepped out of the dress, now only in her white undergarments, she turned around and faced Shane as she slowly unbuttoned Shane's tuxedo coat and tossed it gently to a nearby chair. She then unbuttoned her white dress shirt and then ran her hands across the exposed skin as she leaned in for a kiss. Then Shane started inching backwards onto the bed with Carmen following. As she reached the head of the bed, she wrapped her arms around Carmen's waist and Carmen wrapped her arms around Shane's neck.

They started a make out session which lead to more clothes coming off. Pretty soon they were both out of their clothes and under the covers which were already rumbled. As their make out session turned heated, Shane started kissing her way down Carmen's body. Stopping at her breasts as she paid special attention to her already swollen nipples. Running her tongue over the hard pink nipples, and then blowing on them.

Carmen was definitely voicing her approval. The things that Shane was doing to her, teasing her breast with her mouth while the other one received attention from Shane's hand, it felt so good. As Shane continued her path down Carmen's body she stuck her tongue into her belly button as Carmen reached for Shane's wild mane, which was already gathering sweat. When Shane reached Carmen's center, she avoided it for a while, kissing the insides of her thighs instead.

Carmen grunted in disapproval before saying, "Shane… please… don't (pant) tease…"

Not wanting to disappoint, Shane made her way towards her throbbing core. As she hovered over Carmen's core, breathing on it she inhaled the smell of her lover in need. Then she proceeded to run her tongue over her lover's clit, which Carmen bucked her hips in response. As Shane drew circles with her tongue around Carmen's clit, she listened to the groans and moans of pleasure her lover unleashed, "Oh my god… Shane (pant) (pant)…don't stop… Uhhhhhhh!"

As she came, Shane lapped up all of her sweet juices. They rested for a second to catch their breath. Then, Carmen rolled them over so she was straddling Shane's lap. When Shane didn't voice any disapproval, Carmen situated herself so that hers and Shane's core's connected just right as they both sighed in pleasure. Then Carmen proceeded to thrust into Shane, as Shane did the same to Carmen. Shane groaned as felt the pressure building, and starting voicing her feelings, "God Carm (huff) (huff)… don't (huff)… stop (huff)… hmm… feels (huff)… so (huff) gooood!"

Shane threw her head back as she came hard, with Carmen not too far behind. They collapsed on each other as they caught their breath. Slowly their eyelids started becoming heavy, as Shane pulled the covers over their still heaving bodies and soon enough they fell asleep in each other's arms.
