Shaking myself as I come back to the present, I turn to look at Julissa and note she too is preoccupied with something else. Walking to the backyard, I see that the tables have all been set, the caterers are all prepped and ready to go and by the sound of the opening and closing of doors, I would assume that the guests have started to arrive. Heading back toward the house to get ready, I see Sax off to the side talking to Ramone and they both look worried and pissed. My stomach begins to churn as that feeling I have had for the past week comes back.
“There you are. My beautiful daughter. How are you?” I take a moment to bask in the hug being gifted to me by his mother.
“I’m fine mama. Just need to go get ready for this thing.” I say trying to keep the not so pleased attitude at bay.
“You don’t look fine. Have you been sleeping well, my Lexi?” She rubs my face as she asks this question.
“I have been so stressed about this brunch that I have hardly slept at all. No worries. When it is over today, I plan to take a nice long nap.” It’s true. I am turning off all the lights and going the hell to sleep.
“Bueno. Is there anything I can do to help?”
“Yes. As a matter of fact. I still need to get dressed. Can you greet everyone as they come until I get back downstairs?” I woke up this morning, made sure my hair and makeup were done and then continued along with Julissa and Lara to supervise the setup. Everyone else has had a moment to get ready.
“Of course. You go on.” I kiss her cheek and walk to my bedroom. As soon as I reach the room, my eyes go to the bed. My comfortable, warm bed is calling my name right now. I am more than tempted to lay down and take a quick nap. I mean really this is for their family. No one will even know I am missing. Right?
“Wrong, my wife.” Shit. Busted. I can’t believe I said that out loud. He wraps his arms around me from behind and kisses my neck. I lean back onto him and close my eyes, the feeling of safety taking over me. “Why didn’t you tell me this was causing you worry, Lexi? I would have fixed it for you.”
“You can’t fix everything, Saxson. If I am going to be your wife and…” he spins me around so fast my head spins.
“What the hell do you mean ‘if’? You are my wife. There is no…if. And the only thing you have to learn is how to talk to your husband. My job is to make sure you are happy and healthy. To make sure you have everything you need and want. To carry the burdens of your head and heart. How can I do that if you don’t tell me?” The damn tears again.
“I’m sorry. You’re right. I just...I don’t know. I just…” I stop and take a breath, making myself calm down for a moment while he rubs my back. “You are right. I promise no more secrets. I just wanted you to know I could do this. Be your wife. I know I am so young, and I have a lot to learn and…”
“Lexi stop it. I don’t know what has gotten into you, but I want my confident, smartass back. I fucking love you, baby. YOU! Just like this. You are going to grow and mature and develop into whoever you are going to be. I am going to love that Lexi too. Now calm down. You know what?” His mouth connects with mine and everything in my world is better. He lifts me off the ground, my legs wrap around his waist as we continue to play tongue wrestling. I can feel every anxiety I was harboring slipping away into the daytime sun.
“Spread your legs, baby.” He says to me between kisses as he lays me on the bed. God, I want to. I want to open them so he can assist me with the ache that I carry around all day, smelling his scent and hearing his voice around the house. I want him to shove his cock into me so hard I forget everything but the way he makes me feel.
“We can’t Sax. Your family is downstairs waiting on us.” I whine as the reality of it comes front and center.
“Do you want me to tell them to leave? If I can’t fucking have my pussy whenever the hell I want because there are people in my god damn house, I will tell them all to leave.” I can see the truth of his words in his eyes. I lean up and kiss him. His fierce devotion to me leaves me speechless. I simply open my legs and let him have what is rightfully his. All of me. “Good girl.” he says before he sticks his nose in my pussy, moving it around.
