"How about Heath and I take this one for the night?" Bianca suggested, motioning to a sleeping Jacob as Brax held him in his arms as we made our way up to the house
"No, it's fine. Thank you, though" I replied, smiling at her as I unlocked the door
"Ricky, c'mon, it's your wedding night" she stated "you need to have some alone time"
"What'd you reckon?" I questioned, raising an eyebrow at Brax as I turned to face him
"It's up to you" he replied, smiling at me warmly
"Are you sure you don't mind?" I inquired, glancing at Bianca and Heath
"It's fine, honestly" she assured me "right, Heath?"
"Course" he replied "go and put him down on our bed, and Bianca and I will pull the sofa out"
Brax did as Heath said and carried him into their place, settling him down on their bed. Kissing him goodnight, me doing the same, we said goodnight and made our way to the house, Brax shutting and locking the door behind us…
"I think everyone's trying to tell us something" he admitted
"What's that then?" I asked as he walked over to me
"That they want us to be alone so we can consummate our marriage" he informed me
"Well we'd better comply then, hadn't we?" I suggested, raising an eyebrow at him
He smirked at me and nodded his head, signalling yes, his lips descending onto mine…
Making our way into the bedroom, Brax kicking the door shut behind us, I found my body pressed up against the now shut door, his body pressed against mine...
"I've been waiting to do this all day" he admitted, his hands reaching behind me, beginning to unzip my dress
"Better make the most of it then, hadn't you, Braxton?" I inquired
He nodded his head, signalling yes, pulling my body into his as he moved us to the bed, my dress falling from my body, pooling around my feet. Pulling away from him, I bent down and picked it up, draping it over the chair…
"It cost a bomb" I proclaimed "I'm not letting it lay on the floor all night"
Chuckling softly, he pulled me towards him and we both fell onto the bed, Brax sinking into me minutes later. My hands ran up his arms and locked around his neck as I blindly searched for his mouth, kissing him passionately. Ripping his lips from mine, they trailed to my jaw and then down to my neck, my hands beginning to pull at his hair…
"I love you, Mr. Braxton" I informed Brax as we lay together afterwards, our bodies entwined, his hands playing with mine that was entwined with his
"I love you too, Mrs. Braxton" he mirrored, kissing my temple softly
So, now what can happen as Ricky and Brax settle into married life?
