I moaned at the same time as I heard Kajir curse. “Calm your fucking tits, Daniel. We’re not at that point of the fucking ceremony yet.”
The room erupted into laughter.
We both whined when Henry pulled his brother back, breaking us apart.
I did my best to follow Daniel, but Jackson held me back. When I turned around and growled at him, he held his palms up, even though he was grinning at me. “Give me your flowers, Mars.”
I looked down at the roses in my hand. Oh. Right. It probablywouldbe a good idea to hand them off. I shoved them at him and turned back to Daniel with a wild grin.
Only to be stopped by Kajir’s oversized palm landing squarely in the middle of my chest.
“I swear to everything that is holy in this world, Kajir, I will fucking cut you right now if you don’t let me go. I don’t care how fucking large you are. I will climb you like the gigantic fucking sequoia you are and tear you apart until you’re nothing but fucking kindling.”
More laughter. Why was there more laughter?
The noise was enough to make me stumble and look around.
Oh.
That’s right.
We were in the middle of my wedding.
To Daniel.
Mm… tasty Daniel. I licked my lips and leered at my soon-to-be husband, my hands clenching and releasing in my desire to get to him. He looked just as unhinged as I felt, barely restrained by his brother.
“Okay,” Kajir said, holding me in place with incredibly little effort.Fucker. “I can see we’re going to have to fucking hurry things along a bit before this descends into any more fucking chaos.”
Yet more laughter.
Well, at least we were being entertaining. I’d take that win.
“I had this whole fucking speech ready about how we’re all here to witness Daniel and Marshall formally commit to each other in fucking marriage, and how their love is a source of fucking strength that they can use to nourish each other and those who they hold most fucking dear and important to them. Blah, blah, fucking blah.”
Everyone’s laughter grew louder.
I scowled.Move it along, people.I had a man I needed to sex up. I leaned into Kajir’s palm.
He held steady and gave me a gentle shove back. “Easy, Marshall. Five more fucking minutes, and then he’s all fucking yours.”
Hmph.I scowled harder.
“I think we’re going to need to skip their fucking vows. I’m sure they were lovely, but let’s get to the important fucking parts.” He looked at Rose. “Where are the fucking rings?”
A highly amused Rose held them both up before separating them so she could hold my ring up for Daniel.
“Right. Daniel, put that on Marshall’s fucking finger and repeat after me.”
When Daniel tugged at Henry’s hold, Henry let go but kept a close eye on him so he could be ready to pull us apart again.
Daniel took my ring from Rose’s palm and let out a trembling breath before he gently took hold of my left hand and shakily slid it down my ring finger.
“I give you this ring as a symbol of my love…,” Kajir prompted steadily.
“I give you this ring as a symbol of my love,” Daniel repeated quietly, staring into my eyes, leaving no doubt to the veracity of his words.
“… our strength together…”
