Page 78 of My Downfall

“That we are. Jumpsuits are the way forward, I frigging love this look.” Bella does a little dance, shimmying her glorious ass for us all to see.

I love these girls so much.

Reed walks into the room. “Okay, it’s time to — fuck, baby girl.” His eyes darken as he takes in his wife.

“We’re not fucking yet,” she teases him.

“But we will be sooner than you thought.” He pulls her into his arms and tries to kiss her, but she ducks away from him, squealing as his fingers dig into her sides.

“Reed, you’ll ruin my make-up,” she laughs.

“It’s not all I’ll be ruining.”

“Behave you two, there’ll be plenty of time for that after I get married.” I can’t wipe the grin from my face at the pair of them. They’re so damn happy together.

Reed turns to look at me and his eyes warm when he sees me in my outfit. I’m also wearing a jumpsuit, but mine is a white trouser and gold bodice set. I’m totally in love with it.

“You look beautiful, Mia.” He pulls me into a hug and carefully places a kiss to my cheek, he’s obviously worried about messing up my make-up after Bella’s comment. “Are you ready to marry a rather impatient groom?”

Reed will be walking me down the aisle, something I thought long and hard about. I debated going down on my own but being givenaway is something I want to experience, and I’ve come to love Reed over the last year, so it was him my mind went straight to.

“More than ready.”

“Let’s go make you, Mrs. Davenport, then.”

Holy fucking shitballs.

The music starts and I turn to see Mia’s friends come toward me. Each one is beautiful in their own way, and each looks absolutely stunning in their outfits.

They’ve done an amazing job of arranging all of this. I helped where I could but all they really needed from me was my card. I wasn’t letting Mia pay a single cent for today, even though she tried on several occasions.

Walking just behind the three girls is a sight that causes a lump to form in my throat.

Fuck me.

She’s otherworldly. I will remember how she looks right now for the rest of my life. Reed whispers something to her as they approach and a smile spreads across her face.

Exquisite.

Tears fill my eyes at the thought of having this woman for the rest of my life, of living a life I’ve only ever wanted with her.

Reed releases her with a kiss on her cheek and a slap to my back. I can’t look at him, though, my gaze is riveted to her. To the woman who in a short amount of time, I’m going to be able to call my wife.

I can’t help it. I kiss her the minute she’s standing in front of me.

I hear my brothers, my best men, cackle beside me. They can both piss off.

“I’m new at this, but I’m quite sure that comes at the end of the wedding.” I release the love of my life and glance at the man ordaining this ceremony. Grayson.

He and Paige flew in yesterday and are staying for a few days. When I asked if he’d be interested in marrying the two of us, I think he went straight online and got the license there and then.

“As if you wouldn’t have done the same.”

“Oh, totally,” he agrees. “Shall we marry you both so you can do it for real?”

We turn to him, both grinning and more than ready to start our forever.
