A/N: Hang on, lots of info! Thanks again for the awesome reviews!
As the sun began to set that night the four women joined the minister on the beach. Abbie and Kim dug little holes in the shape of a circle earlier that afternoon and put candles in them. Before Alex and Casey walked down to the beach Abbie ran down to the beach and lit the candles while Kim hid sparklers in the back of her jeans.
Now Alex, Casey and the minister stood in the center of the lit candles on the beach. Casey never imagined getting married, yet now here she was with the love of her life. Alex looked gorgeous in her jeans, sweater and boots, with her long blonde hair down and wearing her black glasses. Casey couldn't imagine this moment being any better. Casey isn't dressed very different from Alex, jeans, boots and hair down, just a different sweater and no glasses. Even though, it might not be a big grand wedding it feels absolutely perfect for her and Alex.
The minister is giving his wedding monologue, but all Alex is thinking about is Casey. She looks perfect and absolutely gorgeous. The sky is changing colors as the sun sets and the stars start to appear while the glow from the candles add a softer beauty to the beach it all makes this the perfect moment. Alex can't remember Casey ever looking as beautiful as she does right now.
Still captivated by Casey's beauty Alex doesn't realize that the minister has asked her to give her vows. The man softly touches Alex's arm to get her attention as Casey, Kim, and Abbie chuckle softly. "Vows?" He says gently.
"Oh, sorry. My beautiful bride distracted me." Alex smiles looking back to Casey, "Casey, I have loved you since I first saw you. I have known all those years that I wanted to spend my life with you. We have seen it all in our lives love, beauty, and tragedy. Our lives might not always be perfect, but as long as I have you in my arms I know we can survive anything. Casey, I can't wait to experience the rest of our lives together. Thank you for choosing to be with me. You make me the happiest woman in the world just by being near me. You make every moment worth living. I promise to love you forever, to hold you when you are sad, to care for you when you are sick, to make you laugh, wipe your tears, hold your hand when we walk down the street, tell you that you are beautiful every day, and to kiss you every morning and night. I love you Casey."
Casey wipes her eyes and smiles, "Alex this isn't how I imagined my wedding day, its far better. I have been in love with you for over a decade, and I promise to love you for an eternity. You are the only person I have ever been in love with and you hold my heart. I can't wait to share a lifetime with you. I can't wait to share holidays and birthdays and anniversaries. I can't wait to have children with you and then watch our children grow and have children. Alex you are all I ever wanted so thank you for giving me what I always wanted in life, you."
The minister looks at the two women and smiles, "Now it's time for the rings. You will take your ring and say with this ring I thee wed."
Alex pulls her mother's wedding band from her pocket, while Casey pulls her mother's ring free from her own pocket. Both smile at one another knowing the meaning behind each little band. Alex takes Casey's shaky hand and slipping the band onto Casey's finger she says, "Casey Diane Novak with this ring I thee wed."
Casey takes Alex's hand and while slipping her ring on she says, "Alexandra Elizabeth Cabot with this ring I thee wed."
Smiling the minister says, "I now pronounce you married you may kiss the bride!" Alex pulls Casey close into her arms and softly kisses Casey. Resting her head against Alex's for a moment Casey whispers, "I love you Alex, thank you for the perfect wedding." Then Casey pulls Alex into another kiss. Abbie and Kim stand in the background and clap for the happy couple as planned the minister steps out of the circle of candles.
As soon as he is clear, Kim hits play on the CD player. Casey and Alex dance to a song they'd always loved that they felt fit them perfectly, 'This Year's Love' by David Gray. Listening to the beautiful words the couple dances close while sharing sweet kisses.
While the two dance Abbie runs off to the distant and sets off some fireworks. As the colors shockingly explode over the couple, Casey looks up at the sky in awe. Alex takes in the amazing beauty of her wife. She can't imagine spending another moment of her life without the redhead. Leaning in to Casey's ear Alex whispers, "Okay Casey, I promise we can run if need be."
Casey looks into Alex's eyes as she draws a hand up to cup against Alex's face. "Thank you Alex," she says before tilting her head to the side and capturing the blonde's lips in another sweet kiss. Casey has never felt so happy as she does at this moment.
As the song ends, Alex takes Casey's hand and whispers, "I love you Casey." Casey smiles and whispers, "I love you too Alex." Walking back towards the house the couple smiles as they see that their friends have lit a path of sparklers for them to walk through. Looking into each other's eyes they know that their wedding couldn't be more perfect.
After dinner that night Abbie and Kim leave for a hotel with plans to return home the next morning. Alex walks them out while Casey goes upstairs to change into something more comfortable. Once their friends are gone Alex heads upstairs to find Casey.
Knocking on the bedroom door Alex opens it to find Casey lying on the bed in a pair of black lace underwear. Casey grins seeing the look of surprise fall over Alex's face. "Would you like to join me Alexandra?" Casey asks seductively.
Alex just nods as she starts to remove her clothes. She is so turned on by finding Casey like this that she starts to forget to remove her boots before her jeans and it takes her a bit longer to reach the bed. Climbing on to the bed, Alex wastes no time in crawling and kissing her way up the length of Casey's body.
Each kiss is different some chaste, some deeper, first a foot then a calf, a knee, then a trail of kisses up one thing and down the other. Bypassing Casey's center and moving right to her stomach was the best because Casey thrust her hips into Alex's chest with a whine clearly upset that the blonde didn't stop where she wanted her too. Still making her way north Alex ran her tongue from Casey's belly button to her sternum eliciting a gasp from Casey.
Pleased with the reaction she was getting from her wife, Alex moved to one breast and ran the tip of her tongue over the lace covered hard nipple causing Casey to arch her back from the sensation. "Alex please…" Casey begs. Alex smiles and lightly nips the stiff bud through the lace causing Casey to moan. "Please Alex please don't make me wait." Casey begs. All the attention Alex had been giving her body had quickly sent her into overdrive and she couldn't wait any longer.
Moving to Casey's ear Alex breathily whispers, "What do you want Casey? Tell me." As she finishes she lightly bites Casey's ear lobe and begins to run a series of kisses and nips down Casey's neck to her collarbone. "Tell me Casey," Alex repeats. The redhead is a panting mess, finally she manages to say, "Go down on me Alex."
Alex grins as she moves back down Casey's body. Slipping her finger under the band of Casey's underwear she slips them off and moves in between Casey's legs. Alex lightly begins licking over the redhead's wet folds. "Oh Jesus Alex," Casey gasps at the sensation. Getting that response causes Alex to do it again, this time going a little deeper. "God, Casey you are soaked."
Casey lets out a moan in response to Alex's actions and statement, "You made me that way. P-Please Alex, make me come." With that statement Alex can't hold back any longer. She begins licking Casey's clit with purpose, drawing it out and then sucking it into her mouth. Casey adjusts her hips a little under Alex's hot mouth moaning in pleasure as Alex slips two long fingers into her lover's wetness curling them slightly while setting a rhythm of moving them in and out. "Oh God…Alex…I am…close…" Casey pants grabbing gently at the back of Alex's head pulling her closer. Alex can feel her walls clamping down around her fingers and begins moving in and out of her faster while she sucks and licks at Casey's clit. It doesn't take much longer for Casey to come crying out Alex's name. Alex continues her ministrations as Casey rides out her orgasm then she crawls back up the redhead's body and kisses her with passion.
Breaking the kiss to catch her breath, Casey pants, "That was amazing Alex." Alex smiles and runs her hand through Casey's hair while saying, "I am glad you enjoyed yourself."
Pushing Alex on her back Casey says, "I am going to enjoy myself even more now." Casey wastes no time stripping Alex out of her bra and underwear. Straddling one of Alex's legs she takes one of the blonde's nipples in her mouth. Sucking the hard bud and nipping at it with her teeth she quickly has Alex whimpering for more. Moving to the next nipple she continues to suck and nip at it while ever so gently running the very tips of her finger over Alex's wet center. Alex instantly thrusts her hips up trying to gain more from Casey. "Please Casey please don't tease me."
Casey pulls back and looks Alex in the eyes. Moving the very tip of one finger in a light circle around Alex's clit, Casey asks, "What do you want baby? Say it." Alex is still trying to thrust herself against Casey's fingers to gain some sort of release so Casey removes her hand. "Say it Alex." Casey demands.
"I-I want you in me please." Alex pants. Not waiting Casey enters Alex with two fingers instantly eliciting a loud moan from the blonde. Working Alex's clit with her other hand she begins to thrust her fingers in and out of Alex finding the blonde's sweet spot and working it to bring her to her orgasm quickly. "Oh, yes…Casey like…that…oh…" Alex moans. Watching Alex, Casey begins to feel herself growing hot again and begins to rub herself against Alex's leg joining Alex's moans with her own. Soon Alex comes hard screaming Casey's name and with Casey quickly following her.
Falling onto Alex, the two lovers try and catch their breath. Alex snakes her foot under the duvet and pulls it up over them. Kissing Casey lightly on the lips she whispers goodnight as Casey hums in response.
The next morning Casey and Alex are awoken to someone banging on the front door of the house. Alex climbs out of bed and wraps a bathrobe around herself while Casey pulls on a pair of pajamas. Alex heads downstairs with a grumbling Casey on her heels.
Opening the door, Alex is met by Jo. Her heart instantly sinks seeing the older blonde. Not waiting for the news Alex asks, "When do we leave Jo?" Jo pushes past Alex and into the warmth of the house.
"Alex! You are free and clear!" Jo exclaims. Hearing the news, Casey sits down on the stairs feeling the relief wash over her. Meanwhile, Alex remains standing still in shock from Jo's words. Jo continues, "My guys found proof that the pages were forged, Alex you never really signed them. Your signature was electronically copied from another document you signed that was almost identical. We found the original and that led us to be able to prove the forgery. Furthermore, you were right about Marcus Clark's whereabouts. We helped the police find him and they interrogated him. He willingly confessed to all the fraud and how he made it look like you were involved. Evidently he had a guilty conscience because he promised your father if anything happened to him he would help you with the company but greed overtook him. Anyway, the District Attorney himself dropped all pending charges on you and is charging Clark today to the fullest extent. So you are free and clear!"
As Jo finishes Alex crumbles to the floor in tears. She is relieved and happy and sad all at the same time. All the information is overwhelming for her. Casey immediately stands from the steps and rushes to Alex's side. Wrapping the blonde in a tight embrace she whispers words of love and comfort while kissing her head.
Jo watches with a smile and heads to the kitchen to make some coffee and give the two women a moment. A couple of minutes later Alex and Casey join her in the kitchen. Finally, Alex speaks, "Thank you Jo for everything."
"No problem Alex. I wasn't going to let you go to jail when you weren't to blame." Jo says with a smirk.
"So Jo, we have some news." Casey says excitedly holding up her left hand.
"When did you two get married!" Jo exclaims as she hits brew on the coffee maker.
"Yesterday evening." Alex replies with a smile wrapping her arms around Casey's waist and resting her head on the redheads shoulder.
"Well it's about time, congratulations. Okay, well I am going to get out of here and leave you two to it." Jo says walking towards the door.
Casey frowns, "Don't you want to stay for coffee?"
"Nope, I haven't had the stuff in years. I was just being nice since I barged in so early. Have a nice honeymoon!" As she finishes she walks out the door.
Alex looks at Casey and smiles, "We don't have to run."
"No we don't, so where do you want to go for said honeymoon?" Casey asks as she kisses Alex's neckline.
"Umm...our bed." Alex whispers. Casey pulls away and says, "Come on be serious."
"I don't know Casey, oh, let's go to Mexico!" Alex replies with a grin.
"Okay, let's book it over coffee. Then you may have your bed request." Casey says with laughter lacing her words. Alex just smiles and pulls her redhead in for a passionate kiss. Life really was looking up for them.
