He planted a kiss to her lips then went and helped himself to a coffee. After he’d poured and taken a sip, he noticed Michael and Ruben watching him.
“Sebastian, ignore them two.”
“What’s going on with you and Ramon’s girl?” Ruben asked. “Michael was about to tell me when you knocked on the door.”
“No he wasn’t.” Taking her seat again, Lily scowled at Ruben who winked in return.
Sebastian still hadn’t answered and looked deep in thought. “Nothing is going on between us.” He sighed. “We spoke. She refused to dance with me. She left with Ramon. End of story.”
After a minute, the brothers started going on about some construction project while Lily switched off.
It certainly wasn’t end of story with Sebastian and Carla. She admitted to only knowing Michael and his brothers for a short time, but in that time she’d never seen Sebastian look at anyone the way he did Carla. She also looked just as smitten.
Ramon certainly didn’t seem devoted to her; in fact, yesterday he’d spent most of his time outside after the meal, tinkering around with his brothers car.
Something didn’t add up, and from the look of things it didn’t sit well with Sebastian that his brother had the girl he was so distracted with.
Lily was going to have to keep a watch on Ramon and Carla, not to mention Sebastian.
“You staying here Lily?” Michael asked grinning.
“Sorry. I was lost in my own thoughts,” she replied, standing up and moving towards the door when she realized Michael and Sebastian had their luggage in hand.
Epilogue
<><>L<><>
Lily and Michael where sitting on a private jet on their way to Molokai, one of the Hawaiian Islands.
One evening leading up to the wedding Michael had started to ask Lily questions about her parents. It was during that conversation when she’d told him her parents had been to Molokai for their honeymoon many years ago.
Until they’d climbed aboard the jet and been airborne, she’d had no idea what Michael had planned and needless to say when he’d told her, she’d burst into tears. He’d held her in his lap while her tears flowed.
Eventually calming down she’d managed to tell him how much it meant to her, being able to spend their honeymoon in the same place that her parents had.
In all honesty he really had taken her breath away with his choice of destination.
<><>M<><>
When he’d told Lily their honeymoon destination he’d known beforehand that she would be emotional, but she’d taken him completely off guard with her floods of tears, which had taken nearly ten minutes to dry up.
When she’d spoken about her parents and her love for them he knew then and there that there was only one place they could spend their honeymoon. Within twenty-four hours of that conversation everything had been booked and confirmed.
“You’re deep in thought.”
“Hmm.” He pulled her down into his lap.
“I’m so overwhelmed, Michael. I can’t believe you’d think of something like this.”
Michael grinned and waited for her to realize how what she said sounded.
Then it clicked. “I didn’t mean. I mean. Oh God.” She kissed him. “I love you and I didn’t mean that how it sounded. It’s just that nobody has ever done anything so…wow for me before. Thank you for loving me.”
“Oh babe. I’ll love you always.”
The End
Prologue for Rapture, Book 2
Michael and Lily’s Wedding Reception The Prologue takes places alongside the Epilogue in Seduce and Chapters 6, 7 & 8 of The Wedding.
<><>S<><> Lily had looked stunning when she’d walked down the aisle towards his nervous as hell brother, Michael.
Sebastian and his brothers had spent most of the day having fun at Michael’s expense, which probably hadn’t helped any with Michael’s nerves.
Sebastian grinned, thinking back to the four of them, asking him what he’d do if Lily had cold feet and ran. Michael had gone white and dropped rather abruptly onto the chair behind him. Lucien had made for the exit, only to have Michael ask him where he was going. They’d all had a good laugh when Lucien, replied, ‘he was going to go and ask Lily to run off with him’. Eventually, their mom had appeared and clouted them all across the back of their heads, like she used to do when they were kids, and put a stop to the teasing. Yeah, their mom still had it in her to keep them all in order, despite the fact that the five of her sons towered over her these days.
The fact was, you only had to look at Lily with Michael to see how much she loved him. They were ‘it’ for each other, and with Lily being pregnant, well, that was an added bonus. One he was actually looking forward to – being an uncle.
Spotting Lily alone for the first time during the day, he walked over to her. “Hey, beautiful.”
