Chasing Paradise (Chasing Series #3) (8 page)

“
I promise. There’ll be no one,” she panted out, barely coherent before I pulled out and entered her tight rectum.

“
Bloody fuck. Each fucking hole is bound to my cock. Do you hear me?” I growled in her ear, tensing as my insides tightened, draining all blood to one particular spot, my groin. I held back as much as I could, stroking her until I couldn’t any longer. With an earth-shattering howl, I pummeled her one more time before I released all of my seed into her, while she tightened around me, sucking the life out of me to the very last drop while I panted into her ear. “No more, amore.”

Sienna captured my lips, kissing me. “It’s only you now, Blake. From here on out, I swear to you—my life, my parents—that I’m yours.”

Closing my eyes, I nodded, smiling against her lips as our noses touched. Her words were enough to warm my heart.

Blake

“
Here, let me help you make this outfit complete.” I murmured behind her, before I took out the necklace I had made for her, loving how shocked her was at my extravagant present.

“
Blake!”

Her reaction was what I aimed for. It was worth everything—it was what I lived for, thrived for. “What do you think? They mined this when I was there in Australia and after I found out, I had it made for you. Pink diamonds are rare just like the woman I’m so crazy in love with.”

“
Uhuh—there’s no need to milk for brownie points. You’ve earned enough.” Her eyes very bright as she admired the intricate diamond design of the jewelry, but most of all the large size that sat in the middle of it. “It’s so beautiful,” she murmured, before spinning around to face me. “Thank you. Now if you could just get us through the night without being robbed, I’d gladly appreciate it.”

Reaching for her hand, we walked towards the elevator and then out to get my car. Now in my Vanquish, we headed towards where Chad held his wedding in South Kensington. My thoughts dwelled on my friend, feeling his pain.

“
How positive is he that the child is his?” Sienna blurted the question, glancing at me.

This was the first thing that popped in my mind, but before he agreed to marriage, they had one done. “It’s his. The DNA results sealed the deal.”

She took a sharp breath, before cursing. “What the hell! He should’ve wrapped his tool each time, especially with her! God! Men and sex, they don’t ever think straight!”

I gripped the wheel, bothered. I knew she was talking about Toby, but I felt like she was targeting me too. “I assure you, I made sure mine was covered and protected.” I was referring to that time we broke it off, and I went wonky.

Sienna looked out the window, not saying a word.

“
Sienna?”

She didn’t glance at me, purposely ignoring my question, but when she did ask, I was skirting on thin ice. “How many women are we talking about, Blake? Roughly.”

How many? Hell. How as I to know? A man doesn’t count how many women he’s slept with unless he was a wanker or a loser, I’m neither of those. “Roughly—and I’m really emphasizing on the word here—about one a night—if they don’t bring a friend or two. Some I shagged a few times afterwards, so I’m not so sure what the number is.”

Sienna reached for my hand, before giving me a small sad smile. “I thought as much.”

“
Are you mad?” I asked cautiously. “I knew I threw a major fit with Kyle, but I also knew that there was only him and no one else. I would understand if you would be upset by it.”

She grabbed my thigh and squeezed it. “Do you really want to go through one of those fights? I’d rather not. That was exhausting. I think we’ve moved past it. Even though the thought makes me sad and yes, even angry, I can’t hold it against you. You were single then, you were just living the bachelor life.”

The relief of hearing her say that was uplifting. Broken-hearted men, sex and alcohol—those factors came hand and hand. It was a horrible experience I would gladly not want to revisit.

We were handling things rationally. Compared to last year, this was truly a different level of compromise and understanding.

“
You’re the only one in my mind, cara. You never left it ever since you came in the picture, back in Toby’s apartment. I just want you to know that.” I knew it wasn’t necessary, but I needed her to see, her and understand that she was it. She was the only woman I wanted, needed and loved.

“
I know.” She finally smiled at me. “How do you think I’d survive the thoughts, hmm?”

Christ, I do love the hell out of this woman.

Sienna

“
Hey, Luce! You’re late!” I glared at her, but the second our eyes met, I regretted the tone I had used with her. “What’s wrong, babe?”

“
I just heard; he’s not really getting married in two weeks, is he?” Lucy sounded flabbergasted, as though she couldn’t believe it either.

“
He is.” I cupped her jaw, looking directly into her blue eyes, pleading with her. “Talk to him, Luce. You’re the only one he’ll listen to. He loves you dearly. Hell, I’m sure he’s just waiting to hear from you.”

“
How the hell do I fucking face him after knowing
this
? He got her pregnant, Sienna! From where I’m standing, he can have the filthy tramp to spend the rest of his life with!” Lucy flashed her eyes at me.

“
Lucy, he’s already going through so much… feel a little sympathy for him,” I urged the angered woman as she looked around and took in everything. Chad’s theme was hot pink, black and white. The whole place was decorated in that fashion; even the swans had bowties in those colors.

“
Lucy! Where the hell have you been? How dare you be late to my wedding!” Chad pouted as he walked into the room before he hugged her. “I have ten minutes so if you want to cry, you can do it now, honey.” He patted her back as he tried to soothe her.

Lucy gave a small, tight smile before she pulled herself off him and kissed him on the lips. “Silly man, I’m not about to breakdown on your wedding day, love.” Lucy then glanced at me thoughtfully. “Can you believe this bloke is getting married before us?” She laughed, teary.

I closed the gap and hugged them both. “We love you and we’re so happy that we get to spend this amazing day with you, Chad.”

Chad groaned, huffing. “Seriously, baby loves, I’m about to cry.” He sniffed again, patting the sides of his eyes. “As much as I love you both, I’m not about to ruin my make-up. Hello!” He tried to laugh it off, but his tears were unstoppable. “Oh, shit cakes! Where’s my Mighty Knightly? Maybe a good boner will make me stop crying.” Give it to Chad to make us crack into boisterous laughter before our tears could really start.

Chad hugged the living crap out of us as we laughed a bit more. “I love you!” He kissed my lips before he bounced to Lucy’s face and announced the same sentiment before kissing her again. “My beautiful she-devils!”

“
Did I just hear you call my fiancée a devil, Chad?” Blake strode in with Toby. Both men looked dashing, but it was Blake’s possessive gaze towards me that made all the difference. It simply made me unbelievably attracted to him; there was a gravitational pull of desire between us.

Chad had his mouth ajar and started jumping like a four-year-old by the time I turned my attention back to him. “Get the
fuck
out, Sienna!” He squealed and pulled on my arm that held the engagement ring I had been hiding in between my breasts before all the drama had made me realize where I should have been wearing it all along. “OMG, girl, congratulations!” He drooled over the ring before he winked at Blake. “Wow, did you ever seal the deal with some major bling, Blakey-poo!”

Lucy tapped his head before congratulating us both on the engagement. I noticed the whole time that Toby hadn’t said anything and, when I did glance at him, his eyes hadn’t left Lucy.

Pulling away from them, I went and took hold of Toby’s hand to let him join in the fun.

“
Hey! Smile a little, munchkin. How can you walk me down the aisle with a scowl?” Chad directed at Toby, who tried to look happy for him.

Chad was going to have Blake and Toby walk him down the aisle. He said he hadn’t felt the need to invite his parents since they’d never really supported him after he’d come out of the closet. Both men were honored to walk him down the aisle and, of course, Chad wanted to be the center of attention, which he certainly would with these two dapper men at his sides.

“
Blimey, Chad. I am. Inside. Doesn’t that suffice?” Toby said before he caught Lucy’s gaze and their eyes locked. “Luce, it’s good to see you again. You look stunning as always.”

“
Thank you,” Lucy responded in an icy manner. “Is it true? You’re getting married with a baby on the way?” Man, she did not hold back. The three of us watched as the former golden duo sparred with their words and eyes. The tension was beyond palpable.

“
It’s in two weeks’ time. You are all invited,” Toby said calmly, but the veins on the side of his neck were bulging, instantly making his anger evident. He was in love with Lucy, but the stubborn, demented woman wouldn’t take him back.

“
How quaint; an instant family! Congratulations! I hope it’s all you’ve ever hoped for and all you have ever dreamt of. I’m sure Amelia is delighted to be pregnant.” Lucy’s barbed words shot out of her mouth.

Toby shook his head before responding to her. “No, it wasn’t what I had dreamt of having. Not even close. I’ll try to make the most out of it, though. Amelia isn’t all that bad. She truly adores me and, in some way, I like that about her. I don’t have to constantly fight about getting my way because she agrees with me.” He gave her a curt nod before he spun around and directed his next words to both Chad and Blake, “Time to head out and get this horny bastard married.”

With the giddy Chad in tow, the guys went out while Lucy and I followed.

It was a beautiful garden wedding, with a black carpet aisle scattered with hot pink and white roses and the cozy pergola was covered with white and pink roses as well. The whole place smelled of roses, romance, love and the celebration of life that was to occur. The ceremony was touching. Even though Lucy and I tried to hold back the tears, it was impossible not to blubber by the end.

“
Forgot to bring tissues, didn’t you, poppet?” Blake handed me his monogrammed handkerchief and I smiled gratefully to my Knightly.

“
You always think of everything.”

As I wiped my tears cautiously, his lips caressed my ears, sending delicious tingles all over me. “I can’t help imagining it’ll be us getting married soon.”

I poked him, sniffing. “Not yet. Let me finish my school then I’m all yours, babe.”

Blake tugged on my hand, kissing the back of it. “Someday.”

“
Thank you.” I gently smiled at him, knowing how much he wanted to get married this instant, if I had wished it.
