I cry out his name as I come. Pleasure bursts through my body all the way down to my toes. I hear him let out a loud groan before he spills inside of me. His warm release fills me. He bends over, resting his head on my stomach. Our heavy breathing fills the room. I run my fingers through his short hair.
I’m pretty sure I’m falling in love with Gerrit. When he lifts his head to look at me, and his eyes meet mine, I think he might be falling in love with me too.

Gerrit
I watch Kennedy across the room laughing at something her sister said. Her head is thrown back, her blond shiny hair brushing against her bare shoulder.
That damn sweater she’s wearing keeps slipping off her shoulder. I’d fixed it a handful of times as we learned how we’d all be walking into the ceremony. She looks over her shoulder at me and gives me a smile as her cheeks tint pink.
That one look hits me right in the chest. I don’t know why I ever thought I could put Kennedy in a box. Or that I would go on with life as usual. I thought nothing would change besides the fact that she’d be there every night when I got home waiting for me. I had been lying to myself. That was clear to see by how much I was skipping out on work already. I couldn’t even unwrap myself from her this morning until I thought she might need some water or something. Work had been far from my mind.
I have to admit that it felt good to let all that shit go. To let all those walls I’d thought I’d made come tumbling down. Since I had, Kennedy has opened up like a flower. Each day she reveals a little more of herself to me. Fuck. I’m pretty sure I’m in love with the woman. I think I have been from the beginning. Why else would I have done all this crazy shit to get her close to me? I’ll keep knocking down every wall I have if it gets her closer to me.
“You look happy.” Dad sits down next to me at the table. Everyone is mingling at the moment.
“I am,” I admit.
“I never thought I’d see the day. I was sure Luke would be the one to settle down first.” I give him a puzzled look. My brother Luke isn’t known for being able to sit still for too long. He is a successful businessman who, like me, is married to his work.
That is until Kennedy. She had changed my view on what I found important. Thankfully I have the luxury to come and go from work when I please. “I don’t see Luke ever slowing down.” I’m not sure he has it in him. He grows bored too easily.
“No,” Dad agrees. “He’ll need a reason to slow down and hold his attention. Just like you needed a reason to stop working so much.” I swallow. I guess I did. I had found my reason, arranged for her to marry me, and now the only thing left for me to do is make her fall in love with me. I really am doing everything backwards when it comes to Kennedy.
“She makes me want things I never knew were in the cards for me. I thought work and success were everything but the moment I laid eyes on her I knew that I’d rather have nothing than be without her. ” That was the truth. A truth I’d only started to admit to myself today.
“I know the feeling.” Dad pats me on the back. “Speak of the devil.” I look up to see Luke heading into the private room at the restaurant we reserved. Mom rushes over, giving him a hug before peppering kisses all over his face. As kids we’d run from such a thing; now we just let her do it because we know it makes her happy.
It’s no surprise when Luke spots Kennedy and Kinley. He quickly makes his way toward them. I’m on my feet before he takes another step. I don’t miss my dad’s laughter.
When I reach them, I notice all of Luke’s attention is on Kinley. Luke always had a way with women. I wrap my arm around Kennedy’s waist, pulling her toward me so that her back rests against my chest. Her perfect ass rubs against me, causing me to instantly go hard. She melts into me like she’s done it a million times before. Her body instinctively knows that I am her home.
I don’t think anyone would ever guess that we’ve only been together a short time with how this day has played out. Everything with her feels natural. I kiss her bare shoulder, and she wiggles her ass on my cock again, knowing full well what she’s doing.
