Chapter 10

Diane hustled inside the room. "You clean up nice."

"Thanks."

She moved in front of Jason and straightened his collar, and he is surprised when tears fill her eyes. "I want you to be happy. She's wonderful, and although you drive me crazy sometimes, you are too." He has grown on her and due to Francis's help, can understand the world through Jason's eyes.

A tear rolled down her cheek. She never ceases to amaze him but he's thankful that she cares about him—most people don't get him at all.

"Don't cry."

"I can't help it. They are happy tears." She spun on her heel as she sucked in her emotions. "Now, I need to remember what I did with something blue."

"What about the ring?" Jason asked.

Diane smiled before running to her bedroom and back. "Here it is. I think it will be perfect." Jason had described what he wanted, and Nick had delivered, of course with Diane looking on via a face chat at the jewelry store.

Jason opened it and felt relieved. "It's perfect." He figures they'll have another ceremony at some point, and he already has a ring in mind for it. He slipped it into his pocket. "You got the something new?" He's not much for tradition, but Diane had insisted.

She handed him another box. The diamond earrings Jason had asked for are gorgeous. "She'll love them."

His mouth curved up before he handed them back.

"Will you walk her downstairs?" Diane asked her husband.

"I would be honored to."

She gave him a quick peck. "Go downstairs in ten minutes." Nick had been a godsend and helped decorate. She had explained everything she wanted to do the day before.

Jason took one more look in the mirror before slipping on the jacket and venturing downstairs.

"You look good," Johnny said.

"Thanks."

He peruses the living room. There are decorations and flowers scattered around the room which aren't overdone but colorful.

"You can stand right here when they are ready," Nick said demonstrating in front of the fireplace.

Jason nodded, suddenly feeling his nerves kick up.

"She's not going to run, Jason," Francis said with a grin.

"You don't know that," Jason quipped.

Johnny laughed. "I booby-trapped the yard. She won't get far."

Jason shook his head.

Johnny wishes he could hear Jason's thoughts. This whole situation is unorthodox, but he hopes that Eva and Jason can make it work.

"Francis!" Diane said as she moved Eva into the hallway and then held out the bouquet. "You ready?"

Evangeline took a deep breath as she gripped the beautiful flowers. "Yes."

Diane made her way downstairs and then Francis headed up them, pausing half-way there.

"You look very beautiful."

She smiled. "Thanks." She had a hard time deciding if she should put her hair up or down. In the end, they decided that since she isn't going to wear a veil, they'd leave it down.

He stood in front of her as she went down the stairs and then she held his arm at the bottom.

"Take a deep breath." She is trembling.

She closed her eyes and inhaled deeply before letting it out. "I'm ready."

When they start to move forward, soft classical music fills the air.

Jason held his breath as she came into view. Nick snapped a few pictures. He has never seen that particular expression on Jason's face and wonders what he's thinking.

Slowly, she raised her gaze until she laid eyes on him. He looks so handsome. She is surprised that he wore the jacket but pleased because he looks so good.

His gaze softens as she closes the distance. When she finally was standing in front of him, Francis removed her hand and placed it in Jason's before moving behind them.

Words are spoken but barely registered. They hadn't stopped staring since it began.

Diane wipes a tear away as they both say I do, making Johnny hand her a tissue and rub her back. He's happy too. They are a gorgeous couple.

When the words I now pronounce you man and wife are uttered, Jason barely waits for a beat before kissing her succulent lips and they get lost in the reverie as everyone cheers.

Jason pulled back and glanced at her hand. "You like it?"

"It's perfect."

"I have another one in mind for the re-do."

She grins, happy that he wants one.

"A toast, to Mr. & Mrs. Morgan," Diane said before handing them champagne glasses.

Everyone tapped their glasses together before taking a sip.

"The papers are on the table. I'll file them in New Jersey, so it's not so obvious."

"Sounds good," Eva said as she followed.

They signed the marriage certificate and then the celebrations began.

Jason watched as Francis and Eva danced.

Diane took his hand and they slowly swayed. "Happy?" She's glad he's more agreeable today. Normally, he probably would have run outside instead of dancing.

"Yes."

"Good."

Nick butts in and pretends to dance with Jason, making everyone laugh before whisking Diane away.

Johnny gripped Jason's shoulder and then took a picture of Nick and Diane with the wedding camera.

After several dances, Diane and Eva kicked off their heels and made some moves that made all the men blush.

Francis sighed. "God, I love my wife."

"I love her too," Johnny sighed making Jason laugh because Francis had punched his friend.

Eva slipped next to him, buzzed off champagne, and then they sat and ate some food. The afternoon was filled with laughter until Diane had to go.

She pulled Jason to the side. "I already love her."

He smiled. "Thank you."

She hugged him one last time. "I'll see you next week."

"I'll make sure he calls."

She smiled and then headed toward her husband.

Jason went back into the living room. Nick is taking Diane to the airport. When Francis came back inside, he was quiet, making Jason feel a little bit guilty.

"Do you want me to call her back?"

Francis shook his head. "She has to be in court in the morning."

"Francis, dance with me? I love this song," Eva said.

He got up and Eva managed to get him laughing again.

Johnny slipped out back and got everything ready per Diane's instructions. He just hoped it didn't burn down before the couple retreated there.

When Johnny reappeared, Jason followed him.

"Alright, everything is set. Carry her inside, okay?"

Jason nodded.

"You need to do it when you get to the penthouse too."

"Okay."

"I'll bring you breakfast in the morning. I'll knock twice and leave it on the doorstep."

"Thank you."

Eva had gone to the bathroom, so he waited until she returned.

"Ready?"

She slightly smiled. "Yes."

"Dinner will be dropped off in about an hour," Nick said.

"Thanks."

They headed out the back door.

"Should we turn up some music?" Johnny asked before getting smacked on the head by Francis.

Nick laughed. "Poker?"

Johnny loved the double meaning.

When Francis caught the back of his head, he looked so stunned that Johnny almost fell on the floor laughing.

"Come on you idiots," Francis said before grabbing the cards. Beer, poker, and laughs. It sounded like a great evening—just maybe not as good as Jason's.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

When Jason swept up his wife in his arms, they both gasped when he stepped through the threshold.

The room is lit up with candles. There are rose petals on the bed and soft music is playing.

"Wow," she said as Jason placed her on the ground.

There is champagne sitting in an ice bucket and fruit and chocolate on the table.

"Johnny?" Jason asked as Eva laughed.

"Yeah, I'm sure he was the one that thought of all of this."

Jason smiled and then took his jacket off.

"Thank you for wearing that. You looked fabulous."

"Thank you, I think."

"No one has told you that you look fabulous before?"

"No." It's not a word that is normally in his vocabulary.

The more he drinks her in, the more he wants her naked and his expression is conveying all of that. Eva can't even think due to his smoldering.

"Champagne?"

"No."

"Beer?"

"No."

He moves closer, making her back up a step. In turn, his brow raises.

"Give me a minute in the bathroom?"

He nodded.

She turned. "Unzip me, please."

He grips her shoulders first and then slides his hand against her skin. Feeling her tremble, he slowly slid the zipper down as she muttered under her breath.

"What was that?"

"Torturer," she says before grabbing the bag she noticed against the wall and scurrying into the bathroom.

There is a hanger on the back of the door, so she carefully hung the dress up and then took some of her makeup off before slipping on the nightgown Diane had picked out. It's pretty but didn't leave a lot to the imagination since it's sheer.

After taking a deep breath, she opened the door to find Jason holding two champagne glasses. His shoes and socks are off, and his shirt is unbuttoned, allowing her to take a peek of his rippling muscles.

His breath hitched as he froze, taken aback by her beauty.

She moves forward and takes a glass from him as he snaps out of it.

"You're so beautiful," he whispers.

"To us," she said before taking a sip.

He did the same and then put their glasses down.

Jason wasn't prepared for the feeling of her hand brushing against his chest. It is taking all his energy to have restraint as she caresses his body.

"Eva," he breathes out as her lips gently press against him.

"Yes, husband?"

He smiled and then their gazes locked as he pulled off her robe which exposes more skin. He can see her hard nipples through the material and wants so badly to suck them into his mouth. Taking his time, he kissed her thoroughly before his lips skipped down her neck eliciting a moan. After pushing both straps down, the nightie fell to the floor, and he joined their lips again as his fingers worked their magic on her breasts. Finally, he couldn't take it and flung off his shirt and moved her onto the bed.

Their gaze locked as he eased her underwear off before kissing around her nipples.

"Jason," she moaned as his tongue lashed against her.

Her nails slid against his scalp before gripping his hair, almost making him groan.

When he switched to the other side which is more sensitive, the noises coming from her mouth almost made him come. He captured her lips again, and she kissed him torridly before he retreated, making her call out his name in annoyance.

He smiled as his lips made their way to her clit. A gasp left her lips as his tongue slipped inside her.

"Oh, God," she whined as he increased his pace before adding a finger. "Jason!"

He began to hum, and her hips shot up as her world fell apart. When he finally retreated, he was hard as a rock, quickly removing the rest of his clothes as he stared at her like a predator.

When she spotted his huge cock, she got on her knees, and he sucked in a breath. She crawled forward, and licked her lips, making him groan, and shut his eyes. When her hand closed around his girth, a moan left his lips. "Eva…"

"Watch me," she said, waiting until his eyes fluttered open before she licked and then slid him into her mouth.

He sucked in a noisy breath when he hit the back of her mouth. His fingers slid through her hair before he gripped her silky locks as she increased the pace.

Knowing he wouldn't last long when she suddenly swallowed, he carefully stepped backward.

"What's wrong?"

He moved closer and pulled her up. "I want to be inside you."

They kissed wildly, until he couldn't wait any longer and moved her to her back, brushing his cock against her slit before pausing to eye her.

"Jason, please!"

He snapped his hips and she let out a sound that he had never heard before as he bottomed out. "Fuck," he muttered as her walls gripped him.

Her heels dug into his ass as he began to retreat before slamming into her again. He found a punishing rhythm, driving her crazy as he panted above her. A few minutes later, she yelped when he flipped them over.

"Ride me."

Her hips began to undulate as she moved faster and then fell forward on her hands so she could bounce, and Jason was gone. The way she is working his dick is almost overwhelming. His hands sought her hips, using them as leverage as he stilled her before rutting inside her and then he let her take control again, and this time, he knew he had reached his quota.

"Come for me, baby," he whispered as her tight canal caressed his dick.

"Jason," she moaned as he rubbed her clit.

When she threw her head back and her body shook, Jason couldn't hold back and started to erupt. Feeling him spurt inside her set her off again. And he swore the sweet sound of her panting and moaning was going to drive him insane. One last thrust and he emptied himself as she collapsed on top of him.

He rubbed her back as he tried to calm himself.

After a long moment, she pushed up to look at him. "That was insanely good."

"I'd die a happy man if you were bouncing on me for the rest of my life."

They grinned.

"I think I can manage that."

"I dare you."

He pulled her down and kissed her soulfully and she is stunned when she feels him coming back to life.

This time around, he slowly made love to her, drawing out every stroke until she was begging him to fuck her harder. By the time they both surrendered, he never wanted to leave her.

Nick knocked on the door and then left dinner.

It took Jason a few minutes to move, but he jumped up and threw on his boxers, and retrieved it.

"Hungry?"

She smiled. "I'm starving, but I don't know if I can walk."

He grinned. Proud that he had fucked her so thoroughly. He pulled her up and kissed her carnally, before lifting her and then sitting her at the table.

"Better?"

She nodded as he took all the food out.

"I love Chinese," she said when she eyed the eggrolls.

She throws her legs over his under the table and then feeds him a few bites before devouring the rest.

He grabbed her and sat her on his lap and fed her noodles and they happily fed each other until they were stuffed.

"Take a bath with me?"

His brow raised.

"I need to soak if we're going to continue this."

"Did I hurt you?"

"Never."

She giggled as she made her way into the bathroom and turned on the water. Diane had left a basket on the counter, so she poured some bubble bath liquid inside. It's a jetted tub, so it will come in handy.

He looked up when she stood naked in the doorway. "Damn…"

"Last one in," she said before quickly putting her hair up and getting in. After turning on the jets she sighed and then smiled when she felt him displace the water.

"I didn't know that bubbles were included."

She peeked at him and laughed. "They aren't poisonous."

"You never know. It could ruin my reputation."

"Well unless you're freaky and taping us, I don't think anyone will find out."

He smiled.

The jets soothed their bodies.

"Feel any different?" she asked.

He grinned but didn't say anything making her laugh.

"You?"

She stared at the ring on her finger. "I don't know if today has hit me yet, but making love to you was epic. I feel excited." She chuckled due to his mischievous expression.

"You make me happy, Eva. Johnny would say that is a miracle."

She giggled. "Well, I will do my best to keep you happy. They usually say fat and happy, but I can't imagine you being fat."

"I like lifting weights."

"I'll never complain."

"Do you like working out?"

She shrugged. "It's okay. I'm more of a runner. Sometimes I do pilates or yoga though."

"I like all your curves."

"Thank you."

He pulled her closer.

"Don't get my hair wet."

He is intrigued. "Why."

"It's a black girl thing. I just washed it. We don't do that every day because it strips the oils and causes breakage if I have to blow dry it a lot. I like to wear it straight, but it's naturally a dense curl."

He isn't sure he completely understands.

"Normally, I wear a shower cap, but I didn't want to scare you."

"Do you think I'd care?"

She smiled. "I don't know. I'll let you pass judgment when I put one on."

After settling her on his lap, he gazed into her eyes. "You would look beautiful in anything."

"You're biased because I'm your wife."

"I'd kill anyone who says otherwise."

She chuckled against his lips. "Is that right?"

"Yes."

Their eyes did battle until Jason gave up the fight and kissed her carnally.

"I think you just turned me into a pile of mush."

He laughed. "Is that right?"

She nodded.

"Let me see if I can make you mushier." He didn't think he had ever said that word before.
