eyes as her father walked her down the aisle.
A knot formed and expanded in his throat. Scene after scene, he watched them promise to love and cherish each other, to be there through good and bad, and to support each other always. Christ. What had they done at the first signs of a problem? They’d stopped talking, they’d let their relationship go downhill, and forgotten their vow to be there for each other.
The DVD ended as they got into the limo to go on their honeymoon. He froze the screen on Ari sitting on his lap, gazing into his eyes with a smile, a smile he’d stopped seeing years ago. Sorrow clutched at his heart. He shook it away. This was a new opportunity to make their relationship whole again. He’d do whatever necessary to ensure she knew how important she was to him. He didn’t want to lose her. There was no way he’d survive it a second time.
A soft moan woke him from sleep. He jerked his eyes open and sat up in a rush. He’d fallen asleep watching TV and waiting to see if Ariana would wake up again. The DVD clock read four in the morning. Another moan sounded from the bedroom. He rushed to her bedroom and found her in a fetal position, cradling her stomach.
“What’s wrong, sweetheart?” He pushed her hair away from her face. She glanced up and met his gaze. Her eyes were dull with pain.
“My stomach hurts like hell.”
“How long has your stomach been hurting like this, love?”
“A few days,” she mumbled.
He didn’t like the sound of that. “How does it hurt, like a sharp pain or more dull?”
“Ouch. It hurts like somebody is stabbing me in my guts. Does that help?”
He grinned. Trust her to give him a drastic graphic description. “Any burning?”
She nodded and groaned.
“I think you may have an ulcer. You really need to go to a doctor.”
She winced. “Ugh. Don’t you think I know that? I made an appointment for the day after tomorrow.”
He smiled at her snarkiness. “Do you have any ginger ale?” At her nod, he caressed her face. “I’ll go get you some.”
When he returned, she was still in the same fetal position. She appeared to be dozing. “Ari?”
She jerked her eyes open and groaned. “I am never working with that client again.”
He chuckled. He knew all about difficult clients. “It’s alright, baby. You’ll be done soon, and next time you pass her off to someone else.”
After helping her sit up, he sat next to her on the bed and watched her sip on the cold drink. She leaned her head on his shoulder, making him feel closer to her, needed.
“Stay here with me.” Her soft breath tickled his neck. “Please.”
“Anything you want, sweetheart.” He took the cup out of her hands and placed it on the bedside table. She scooted over to create more space for him next to her, and immediately curled into his body. Desire throbbed in his veins, worked its way through his body, and sparked embers of need in his cock.
He leaned back into the pillows and closed his eyes, ignoring the raging hard-on and enjoying the feel of her body draped over his side.
Nick woke to the feel of Ari’s hands under his T-shirt, gliding up and down his chest. She rubbed her fingertip over his nipple, and then proceeded to pinch the little bud. He groaned, his cock instantly erect.
“Ari…”
She unbuckled his belt, unbuttoned his jeans, and slid down his zipper. He snapped his eyes open the minute her hand gripped his cock.
“Baby.”
“Shh…” She gave him one of the sultry looks he loved, the kind that said she wanted to play and he should just shut the hell up and enjoy whatever she had in mind. “Last night is over, and I still want you. It’s a new day. I have no pain and I feel good right now. More than good.”
He couldn’t argue with that logic. She tugged on his pants and boxers. He lifted his ass off the bed, helping her in getting the material down his legs and off his body. She licked her lips, all the while staring at his cock
