Raging Love (10 page)

The crowd of people were dead silent. Colt grabbed my arm and held me still. “Excuse my brother in-law, he has had a bit too much to drink.” Ty started to laugh a little and the crowd seemed to relax.  “I have known Van, Savanna, since we were little kids. Colt knew her
back
then
as well
. He used to come and visit during the summer. All of the girls would go nuts over him there too. Van was different. She was a late bloomer and Colt made it a point to tease her for it. When
he went off to college and stopp
ed visiting, Van changed from a little girl, into a beautiful woman. Two years ago when he came to help out my
family, he saw her again. I’m pretty sure she took his breath away and you all know the rest of the story. Besides my own wife, Colt and Van are my best friends. I love them and wish them a long and happy life together. Everyone hold up your glasses,” He pointed to Conner. “except you Conner, you’re officially cut off.” Everyone started laughing and raised their glasses.

“To Colt and Savanna.”

Colt rubbed my back and kissed the top of my head. Ty walked by Conner and came over to us. “You want me to fuck him up?”

I gave Ty a big hug. “No, but thank you for fixing things. That was uncomfortable.”

“He didn’t do it to piss you off Savanna. He did it to get to Ty. He wanted him to look like a sap.
”

“He’s the sap.” We saw Miranda standing by her brother, arguing with him. He had issues.

The next twenty minutes flew by. Between everyone congratulating us and the photographer trying to take
pictures
of everyone, I was glad to finally get to the first dance.  We h
ad picked a song called “I can
love you like that.” It was older, but the words were so beautiful. The music started and I paid no
attention to Colt reaching for something behind my back. To my utter shock, I felt the vibrations of Colt’s voice as he began singing the words to the song
.

“
They read you Cinderella

You hoped it would come true

That one day your Prince Charming

Would come rescue you

You lik
e romantic movies
You
never will
forget

The way you felt when Romeo kissed Juliet

All this time that
you've
been waiting

You don't have to wait no more
”

Colt held me tight
against
his body while he sang every single word to me. Our family and friends had all stood up and some were even crying, as th
ey listened to every
word coming
out of Colt’s beautifully talented body.

“
I can love you like that

I would make you my world
Move Heaven and Earth if you were my girl
I will give you my heart
Be
all that you need
Show you you're everything that's precious to me
If you give me a chance
I can love you like that
”

I looked over toward Brina and Conner who had now come out to the
dance floor
. They had their hands all over each other,
almost
like
they were having some kind of sex, right here in front of everyone. I shook my head and looked toward Ty and Miranda. With Bella in their arms, they swayed to Colt’s beautif
ul voice. Ty placed small kisses
on Miranda and Bella’s
foreheads
, before resting his head into both of theirs. It was beautiful to watch them.

I never make a promise I don't intend to keep
So when I say forever, forever's what I mean
I'm no Casanova but I swear this much is true
I'll be holdin' nothing back when it comes to you
You dream of love that`s everlasting
Well baby open up your eyes
I can love you like that
I would make you my world
Move Heaven and Earth if you were my girl

I will give you my heart
Be all that you need
Show you you're everything that's precious to me
If you give me a chance
I can love you like that
You want tenderness-I got tenderness
And I see through to the heart of you
If you want a man who understands
You don't have to look very far

I love you Darlin’ “

Som
eone came and grabbed the microphone
from Colt as the music finally faded into another song. He pulled me into his embrace and kissed me
deeply. I was still speechless. I couldn’t
believe
he had sang to me in front of everyone. I had never heard him do anything like that before. Sure, he had sang to me as we danced, but never for everyone else to hear. I was overwhelmed with happiness.

“That was amazing.”

“Could you tell how nervous I was?”
Colt got this embarrassed look across his face.

I looked into those green eyes that made me melt every time I saw them. “Are you kidding me, you totally owned it baby.”

“I used to sing in church when I was a kid. I hated people watchin’ me. I just wanted to give you everything today. Were you surprised with the barn?”

“Yo
u have no idea. My
God,
it is more
beautiful than the other one. I can’t believe you did this for us.”

“For you Savanna. I did it for you. I would have married you anywhere, but I knew how important this was to you. I needed to make it happen Darlin’.”

“I love you so much Colt. I have never been happier in my whole life.”

We swayed to the music and he held me so tight in his arms. “Just wait until we fill that house with little feet. We are just beginning Savanna.”

Colt and I broke away after the second dance and started on
our wedding to-do list. I had
originally planned it all out, but after his vows and his song to me, I just
couldn’t
think straight.

Ty grabbed me and pulled me in for
a
hug. “Congrats Van.” He took both of his hands and grabbed my face to plant a kiss over my mouth. Miranda stood behind him laughing the whole time.

“Thanks.” I started wiping my lips. Bella came up and grabbed my dress while she jumped up and down. I picked her up and got a giant slobber kiss. “Aunt Van loves you.”

She poked me in the nose. “Van.”

Colt came up and grabbed her, spinning her on to the dance floor in his arms. She wrapped her arms around his neck as he danced around wildly, while she clung to him laughing.

I needed to be pregnant.

The food was even better than when we had sampled it and the cake was to die for. Colt and I agreed to not make a mess with our first taste, but
Ty and Conner taunted him so badly that at the very last second, I got it smashed all over my face and up my nose. As Colt began trying to lick it off my face, I grabbed his neck and pulled his face into the mess over mine. Instead of pulling away, he pushed his face all over mine, gathering the icing with his own skin. He pulled away licking his lips, smiling at me.

How could anyone be mad at someone that looked like Colt?

After we had done everything traditional on my list, we met everyone out on the
dance floor
. Even my grandparents were dancing, as best as four very old people could. Colt’s mother was dancing with Ty’s dad, while Ty’s mother danced all around with Bella.

Miranda and Ty finally had a second to themselves
, since Bella was occupied
. Instead of dancing to the melody of the song, they were in a deep embrace with their faces b
uried into each
other’s
bodies
. The old Ty would have been groping all over someone
while
he danced, but he held his wife so passionately, it made me so happy for them. I regretted all of the terrible things I had said to him when I caught them together. They were truly, madly and deeply in love with each other.
It was picturesque. While Ty and Miranda fell in love with each other, Bella had made them a family from the beginning.

Just as I was thinking about the little beauty, I watched her spot her parents and go flying toward them. Ty startled when her little body smacked right into his leg. With one arm
still
around Miranda, he picked her up and held her between them. She giggled as he placed kisses all over her face.

“They’re beautiful aren’t they?” Colt asked as he watched them with me.

“I want that.” I confessed.

Colt pulled my gaze to his face. “We
will
have it Darlin’. Be patient. It
will
happen. Besides, not only do we have our whole lives together,
but
I’m
really liking the tryin’ part of it all. Anything that gives me a reason to make love to my wife is a good reason to me.”

We both started laughing as my father approached me. “I think they want to do the father daughter dance now Honey.”

I had purposely requested this dance to be one of the last of the night. Marrying Colt while he cried was hard, but dancing with my father, at this particular moment was like sealing my childhood away. I know it was juvenile to think like that, but I couldn’t help be a little irrational about it.

I could hear the music to Heartland’s “I loved her first” coming on. My father reached out his hands and took me in his arms. I buried my head into his broad chest and tried so hard not to cry. He started rubbing my back and I could feel him crying against my body. Saying goodbye to my parents when I moved to Kentucky was a rushed decision. They wanted me to finally be happy after so many years of uncertainty with Ty. Colt changed my life, at a time when all I had on my side was my parents. Sure, they had respected my decision, but I knew they missed me terribly.

“I love you Daddy.” I cried on his shoulder, forgetting all about my perfect wedding face of makeup. The cameras flashed like crazy around us, but my father ne
ver let go of me. He squeezed my
hand and held me tight.

“I love you too Honey.
I’m
so proud of the woman you have become. Please promise you will come to visit as much as you can. I miss you so much already.”

I saw Colt watching us, he was dancing with his mother. She was much shorter than he was so just watching them was really cute. I knew what they were talking about and it made me even more emotional. As
the song ended, my father kissed
me on the cheek and slowly let go. He gave Colt a quick hug before finding my mother.

“You okay Darlin’?”

“I am now.” I smiled and accepted his gentle kisses to my lips.

“I know we live together, but for some reason, I can’t wait to get you home and strip off your clothes tonight.”

I ran my hands around his perfect butt and pulled his body toward mine. “I can’t wait either.”

“So did I do good?”

He spun me around and pulled me back into his arms. “You have no idea how happy you’ve made me. This day was more perfect than I had ever imagined.”

“You know I aim to please.” He teased.

“
Well, I
can’t wait to show you how grateful I am to be your wife.” I ran my lips over his, causing an instant heat between my legs.

People around us were starting to get rowdy, including Conner and Ty. I wasn’t exactly sure where Bella had gone, but the music got a lot more clubby and Ty and Miranda were lighting up the
dance floor
with their provocative dancing. It wasn’t classy, but it wasn’t as dirty as I had seen them dance in the past. They were both good dancer
s
to begin with and together,
they were fun to watch. Of course, Brina and Conner took it as a challenge and began trying to out dance them.

Miranda and Ty had them from the beginning, in fact they never changed their pace, while Conner was reaching under Brina’s dress and grinding her into his body. Since they’d already hooked up, I knew where it was leading, in fact everyone there did. Ty and Miranda knew they were together, so the chase wasn’t an issue for them. As much as Conner tried, everyone watched Ty and Miranda who were so in sync you would think they rehearsed.

Colt and I stood
back and started clapping and egging them on. Even the older guest
s
were getting a kick out of the two guys competing for bragging rights.

“I think Ty’s got it.” Colt laughed.

I shook my body to the beat of the song. “Yeah, Brina has nothing on Miranda. Ty told me one time that Miranda danced better
than any stripper or Porn star
he had ever watched. Since I have no idea what they dance like, what do you think?”
