after the first few nights. Well,” she said standing up and reaching out to shake my hand, “Enjoy your wedding night and take your time. Sex will become more comfortable for you once you two are past the first night, but you are going to be sore.” Then she reached out and shook Micah’s hand. “You, Micah, are a very lucky man to get to experience this with her.”
He finally smiled, “I’m a lucky man even if this wasn’t her first time.”
Now it was my turn to be red-faced as it seemed the doctor was presenting me as some type of strange prize.
We didn’t speak to each other as we left. I handed him my keys and went for the passenger’s side.
“ You don’t want to drive?” he couldn’t mask his surprise.
“ No,” I whispered. I was still rolling everything she had said around and wondering if my first magical night with Micah was going to really be as difficult as the doctor predicted.
He backed out and headed away from the complex, “You’re pretty quiet. Are you afraid now?”
“ I just didn’t expect… I mean, I thought everything would be normal.”
He squeezed my hand and then brought it to his lips and kissed the back of it, “You’ll be fine, I’m sure it’s not going to be quite as difficult as she thinks.”
“ What if it is? What if I can’t take it?” Now I was getting emotional. I craved Micah with every fiber of my being, and I couldn’t imagine not being able to consummate a relationship with him.
“ Baby,” he said, using his deep sexy tone with me, “people get through this all the time. I’ll be gentle.” I could see the smile was working hard to turn the corners of his lips, though he was obviously attempting to resist it.
I managed a smile as I looked away, “Well, at least it sounds like you’re going to have a fantastic night.”
His smile could no longer stay down, “I won’t lie to you, baby, you’re right. It sounds like I’m getting the better end of the wedding night, but I’m going to do everything I can to make it perfect for you.”
I brought his hand against my cheek, absorbing the warmth after the doctor’s office left me feeling so cold.
He was gently stroking my cheek, but then had to pull away to shift gears. “I love you, Leese; if you tell me to stop, I will. We can come back and have the doctor make this easier for you.”
“ I can’t imagine stopping once we…” I felt a flush of heat fill me, opening the yearning I knew was made for him alone.
“ I can stop, if you tell me,” he was completely serious.
“ Yeah, but I don’t think I can,” I admitted.
He smiled as we pulled up to the traffic light. He leaned over and kissed me slowly.
“ I know I won’t want you to stop,” I whispered. “You’re right, we’ll be fine.”
Chapter 4
Six weeks were gone in a blur. Linda certainly earned her pay because every single day it seemed she and I were working together to make this wedding flawless. Early on Micah and I discussed the bridesmaids and groomsmen for the wedding. Although we both had plenty of people to choose from, Micah felt it would have been an odd blending of two worlds, Palm Beach socialites walking the aisles with mafia men wouldn’t work well. We finally settled on a rather untraditional arrangement. He asked David, to be his best man, and I asked my mother to be my maid of honor. I asked Giorgio if he would mind walking me down the aisle, but when the time came to join the families by the giving away of the bride, my mother would be the one to speak up and give me away. Kimmy would be the flower girl and Mom and David would hold the wedding rings until the moment of exchange.
I invited my Pensacola friends, but the only ones who could make it were Kevin and Carlie. I was disappointed Jewels couldn’t make it, but she said her parents wouldn’t bring her nor allow her to travel alone. Ryan was still here with his mother in Palm Beach, planning to return to Pensacola a week after the
