Aspen
Epilogue
I signthe marriage license and hand the pen over to my husband. He smiles at me as he takes the pen from my fingers and scrawls his signature on the line.
We talked about it and decided that I would marry Roman but I would take both their last names. Flynn says the first baby should be his, that it was only fair. I told him that it was still a little too early to be thinking about babies. I want a couple of years of just the three of us before we start trying. I’m not sure they were happy about it, but they both agreed with me.
Tomorrow I’ll go down and change my name and then I’ll officially be Mrs. Aspen Stone-James. I watch as Roman signs the paper before he takes our copy and folds it, putting it in his pocket. Flynn pulls me into his side and kisses my forehead.
“Happy, Mrs. Stone-James?” He whispers in my ear.
“Very.” I say as I stand on my tiptoes and kiss him.
I feel Roman sidle up closer to my other side and as soon as Flynn pulls away, he’s turning my head and slipping his tongue into my mouth. When he pulls away, I hear the applause and I turn to face our guests.
We got married a month after Adeline was released from the hospital. I wanted her to be my maid of honor and be at our wedding without getting too tired so we didn’t rush down to the courthouse the next day like both Roman and Flynn wanted. They said I only got a month though, that they couldn’t wait longer than that to make me theirs.
Our wedding wasn’t big. The only family that I have is Adeline and Bianca so my side of the venue is pretty empty. Actually, Adeline was my maid of honor so the only person on my side was Bianca.
Roman and Flynn didn’t really want to invite that many people either. Just their parents, Flynn’s brother, Ryan, and an aunt and uncle on Roman’s side. They invited a few of their work friends too.
We got married in the restaurant that we rented out for the reception. The restaurant had a beautiful garden in the back and we were able to have the ceremony out there before moving inside to eat and dance. It was perfect.
I laugh as Roman and Flynn drag me over to the table. We decided to have a pretty casual reception and everyone is sitting at one long table. Roman, Flynn, and I sit in the middle with Adeline across from me. Ryan, Flynn’s brother sits on one side of her and one of Roman and Flynn’s work buddies sits on the other side of her.
I watch as he shoots a glare at Ryan over Addy’s head when he whispers something into Adeline’s ear. He’s been watching her all night and I’ve noticed that he never seems to be too far from her. Maybe Adeline’s finally going to meet her dream guy, I think as I watch him scoot his chair closer to her.
I lean into Flynn and whisper in his ear.
“Who is that sitting next to Addy?” I ask.
He looks across the table before turning back to me.
“His name’s Lincoln Hook. He runs a security company. Why?” He whispers back.
“I think he likes Addy.” I say with a laugh as I watch Addy start to turn in his direction only for Ryan to say something else and cause her to look away from Lincoln once again. Lincoln scowls at Flynn’s brother and I want to ask Flynn if he thinks we should warn him about the security expert glaring daggers at him. Before I can ask though, I watch as Lincoln reaches out and slips one arm around the back of Addy’s chair and slides her over to his side.
I want to laugh at the shocked look on Adeline’s face and she stares across the table at me, wondering what the hell just happened. She turns to Lincoln with a speculative look on her face and he just smiles down at her as he hands her a menu. I’ll have to keep my eyes on them, I think.
Adeline has recovered one hundred percent from her surgery and so far, there’s been no signs of the tumor. She’s still living with the three of us in our townhouse, but lately, she’s been talking about moving out. Roman and Flynn have offered to buy her a place nearby but she doesn’t want to take advantage of them. I keep trying to tell her that they love her and would do anything for her but she won’t listen.
She promised that she wouldn’t move out until after we get back from our honeymoon. She’s going to watch after the house while we’re gone and we told her we would help her look for a place once we got back. She’s back to working at the animal shelter, although she’s still taking it easy.
I look around the table at my new family. When I was a girl, I never dreamed about what my wedding would look like. I never thought I’d get married but as I take it all in, I realize that I’ve never been happier. I have two men who love me more than anything and who I love with all of my heart. I have my sister, Adeline, and a new brother, Ryan. I have two sets of in-laws now and aunts and uncles. Best of all, they accept me. They accept and love Adeline. This is more than I ever dreamed of and I look over at Roman and then Flynn and feel my heart burst with love.
The reception is fun. We eat and drink, laughing as we all talk over each other at the table. I dance with Flynn and Roman and even manage to pull Adeline out onto the dance floor for a couple of dances. I want to ask her about the man who hasn’t been able to pry his eyes off of her all night but she just wants to talk about the wedding.
Finally, at around midnight, the party winds down and we wave goodbye to everyone before my husbands bundle me into the back of our town car and whisk me away to the airport. Our bags are already packed and Ryan is going to give Adeline a ride back to our place so everything is set. I’m about to spend two weeks in Bali with my husbands, wearing as little clothes as possible.
“Ready to go, Kitten?” Flynn asks.
“More than ready, husband.” I say as I push the button to raise the partition and climb into Flynn’s lap.
“How long do we have before we’re at the airport?” I ask as I loosen his tie.
“Enough.” Roman says as he slides his hand under my dress, finding my wet center.
I moan as I lean my head back, letting the sensations course through me.
“I love you.” I say as I kiss Flynn and then Roman.
“We love you, too.” They say as they kiss me back and I know that we’ll spend the rest of our lives feeling this love and pleasure with each other.
I pull them down to kiss me as the car speeds into the night, taking me to my happily ever after.
