Epilogue

Rafe

Aunt Lori: I need more pictures! And promise me you’ll bring back as many chocolates and macarons as you can.

Abby: What about an ugly mug?

Aunt Lori: That too, of course. If such a thing exists in France. monocle emoji

Me: The tourist souvenir shops have some cheap, ugly stuff. Don’t worry. We’ll find one for you.

Abby: I already found a T-shirt for your boyfriend!

Aunt Lori: Fernando doesn’t need any more souvenir T-shirts. He has about fifty of them. sighing emoji

Me: Nope, he’s getting one. He needs to feel welcome.

Abby: Don’t try to pretend that’s the real reason, Rafe.

Me: I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Abby: This is for the rival team’s jersey Aunt Lori got you for Christmas. Now you’re out to get your own kind of friendly revenge. Friendvenge?

Me: Are you making up words now?

Abby: Of course. And it sounds better, too.

Aunt Lori: Hmm. I can’t stop you, but if you buy him more than one shirt, it’s game on, Rafe. And you’ll have to wait to see what I do next.

Me: Bring it, Aunt Lori.

Abby: sighing emoji This isn’t going to end well, is it?

Me: You’ll just have to wait and find out. For now, I’m taking my wife to Versailles and am going to ignore my text messages.

Aunt Lori: crying emoji Noooo!!!

Abby: laughing emoji I’ll reach out later, when I have a chance. heart emoji

Exactly a Year After Waking Up Accidentally Married in Vegas

Paris, France

L ight kisses against my chest woke me up, but I did my best to keep still. I wanted to see how far Abby would go.

Her hot breath danced across my skin as she moved to my nipple and toyed with it. My already hard cock grew harder, and Abby finally said, “I know you’re awake, Rafe. You’re breathing too hard.”

I opened my eyes to find my wife sitting above me, her hair dancing around her shoulders. I reached up and lightly tweaked her nipple. “You just want me to hurry up so you can go sightseeing.”

“Well, we are in Paris.”

I pulled her down and kissed her before replying, “On our anniversary-slash-honeymoon. Which means some of it is mandatory to spend in bed.”

“Well, since we’ve been married a year already, I like to find a balance. Sex is good, yes. But I’ve always wanted to see the gardens at Versailles. And maybe dance in the outdoor ballroom.”

Smiling, I said, “I already promised I would. But it’s still early.”

She straddled my chest, teasing me with her wet pussy against my skin. “The gardens open at 7 a.m. So we could leave now.”

I placed my hands on her hips and stroked her soft, warm skin with my thumbs. “It’s February. Do you really want to go out in the dark? The sun won’t even be up until after eight.”

She ran her hands across my chest. “Ah, but you see, we need to start getting ready now.”

“Give me five minutes. That’s all I need.”

She shimmied down until she could move her center against my cock, and I sucked in a breath. “Ah, but getting ready includes riding my husband before sharing a shower.”

Reaching up, I cupped her breasts. “Well, in that case, we should definitely start getting ready now.”

And so my wife took her time riding me, teasing me, until we both orgasmed and lay catching our breath on the big bed of our suite.

Eventually, Abby spoke again. “You never did tell me the full reason as to why you agreed to take me to Vegas last year. Was it because you felt sorry for me?”

I rubbed circles on her back as I replied, “A little bit. But mainly, I wanted to spend time with you alone, away from all our families, to see if there was even a chance of us being together.”

She lifted her head. “I was a mess, and you still wanted to spend time alone with me?”

“Ever since I returned to Starry Hills and saw you as an adult, I tried to resist you. And when the chance came up to be your knight in shining armor? I took it. And maybe my subconscious agreed to marry you in Vegas because I didn’t want to ever let you go. Even then.”

She moved up until she could kiss me. “I love you, Rafael Mendoza. More now than ever before, if that’s possible.”

“And I love you, Abigail Mendoza.”

As we stared at one another, I still couldn’t believe how lucky I’d been in life. Yes, I’d had tragedy and years of self-imposed loneliness. However, it’d all led to this woman. The one who understood me, loved me, and shared her troubles and joys one day and listened to mine the next.

With her ex being indicted on a number of crimes, plus CGN going quiet after trying to create a scandal over a mega-billionaire a few months ago and my training facility running at capacity, the future truly looked bright.

And once we finally made it to the Versailles gardens, I danced with my wife in the outdoor ballroom and made yet another happy memory, one of many to come.

I hope you enjoyed Rafe and Abby’s story!
