Conner's words rang in her ears and her body trembled inside - she had been
reunited, for what she thought was just a brief moment with the object of
her desire. But then, he had promised more - she knew her face would
betray her now - show that he had gotten to her - and honestly, she thought
she liked it.
They slipped back in to the mob with the others without being noticed - and soon it was time for the obligatory 'after-wedding' pictures. There were group shots, single shots, and even "couple" shots. When it was time for Elizabeth and Conner to take their picture together, there wasn't any of the awkwardness they possessed the night before - they looked like they belonged together - the way that parts of their bodies touched as they posed for the camera - this time, the smiles were genuine.
The group moved towards the tent, where the reception was being held. A beautiful area had been prepared with fountains, flowers, and lights. A bountiful buffet of food awaited them all, but first, they would dance - the bride and groom, and then the entire wedding party. The light shone in Tia's eyes as she looked up to her new husband - she knew tonight was going to be pure magic. She watched as the other couples joined the floor - all was as it should be - old love was winning over regret, and strong new relationships were being formed. It was a blissful moment.
Time passed quickly, and the reception was drawing to a close - the cake had been cut, and all that was left to do was the bouquet and garter toss. All of the single women clamored to the floor - and it looked like a good cat fight might break out at any time. Tia took a look back, found her target, and took aim - ONE, TWO, THREE! The bouquet left Tia's hand, and it was headed right between Jessica and Elizabeth. Jessica suddenly grabbed her sister and put her in the direct path of Tia's bouquet. Liz stood there with a shocked look on her face - Jess went over and gave her sister a peck on the cheek - "Let's see who the lucky one is tonight, Lizzy".
Elizabeth took her place in the "waiting" chair, as all of the single men gathered around for the garter toss - Liz saw Conner out the corner of her eye walk up and give Trent a pat on the back - and said something that was indistinguishable. He gave her a smile as he took his stance. In an instant, the baby blue garter was floating through the air, and the way men were running for it, you would've thought they were playing football. But none of them were more intense than Conner, he grabbed it before anyone else. Elizabeth felt herself let out a sigh of relief - it was close - another half second and it would've been Todd Wilkins, or some other ex- boyfriend!
Tia was nearly jumping with joy, with the way things had turned out - she grabbed the microphone from the deejay. "Ladies and Gentlemen - I'd like to hear from those of you all who think he should use his - - - TEETH." Elizabeth's face turned crimson, and she looked at Conner with exasperation. But, she found he was one of the many leading the cheers. He took off his jacked, loosened his tie, and rolled up his sleeves. He placed the garter in his mouth, and knelt down beside her. He slowly and painstakingly began to place the garter on her leg - soon his head had disappeared completely under her dress, and you could hear the background noises of everyone urging him to keep going - when he reached her thigh, he let go of the garter, but did not retreat until raining several tender kisses down her leg. He hesitated as he retreated - he had no idea what she'd do to him once he was finished. The crowd gave a rowdy yell, and then the music started to play. As Liz started to rise, her knees felt wobbly - his forbidden kisses had rattled her brain! Luckily the song was slow, and didn't require a lot of movement. Conner leaned in close to her ear and whispered to her "I hope you didn't mind that Lizzy, I couldn't resist". "I don't guess you could say I minded McDermott." "Good, then you won't mind this either then," and he pulled her face close to his, and he kissed her with a new intensity, in front of everyone - but it was like they were alone. After the kiss ended, Liz asked quietly, "So, what did you say to Trent right before the garter toss?" - Conner replied, "I told him to make me the luckiest man in the world - and he did."
The end for now. . . . .
Thank you for all of the encouragement and wonderful reviews! I truly appreciate all of the kind words. It's nice to know that other people enjoy SV Fan Fiction as much as me.
I'd like to try another story some time in the future, so if anyone has any suggestions, let me know (
