The sound of Kate and other guys happy chatter broke the heavy silence. Jordon dropped Nicky’s hand and turned to watch them enter the kitchen. So ? Kate asked cheerily. Did both of you have a nice talk ? Jordon tried to hide a smile but couldn’t. Okay, Kate you won, she wanted to reply. Looks like it’s time for the wedding. What wedding? The guys questioning. Nicky explain the whole situation that Jordon need help to have this ranch. Then Shane interuped… we on holiday, Nix ? yeah I know, Nicky agreed. But she need me. yes, mate as long as you know what you doing, Kian said. Nicky nodded. Bryan finally said… Nix, if u getting married and we will be the best man. Kate clapped her hands and all of them dashed off the dining room. She decide to hold the ceremony in the great room in front of the big stone fireplace. Everyone stood in the appointed place. Expect for the groom. Nicky was still loitering somewhere in the house… Jordon felt too nervous to call out to him. Oh perhaps, just she, she realized. The judge cleared his throat. He peered at Jordon over the frame of his reading glasses. The silence was deafering.
Finally, Kate called out, Nicky? Where are you ? He appeared seconds later, coming through the closed door that led to the foyer. He walked up to his friends and took his place, facing her with only inches to spare between them. It appeared that the groom wear a white tux, with a dark tie. He has dampened his hair and combed it neatly back. He’d looked handsome with his outfit. Jordon though. He peered down at her, his lips curving in small, knowing smile, as if he’d read her thoughts. Then the judge instructed them to join hands, yet the feeling aroused by Nicky’s warm hands enclosing both her cold ones was everything but bland. Jordon Randall, do you take this man, Nicholas Bernard James Adam Bryan as your lawfully wedded husband? I do, she replied.
Then Nicky was asked the same. When she looked at him in surprise, he spared a small smile and gently squeezed her hand as he slipped on her own ring. Seconds later the judge give his official permission for a kiss. Jordon barely had time to take a deep, steadying breath as Nicky’s dark head dipped his lips drawing closer to her own. Then Nicky’s mouth met her own, she felt his hands grips her waist passively and felt herself sway toward his heat and strength. Their lips met, softly at first, Nicky seeming to savor the very first moments of contact. Then slowly, he deepened the encounter, his mouth moving over hers, coaxing her to respond. Jordon fought against the feeling at first, but finally she couldn’t help melting against his body, surrendering her mouth to his. The world faded away and she felt lost. The judge hoisily cleared his throat, breaking into Jordon’s cloud. As she and Nicky slowly moved apart, she felt a warm bush creep up her cheek. Jordon asked, Would you mind staying for some pictures? The judge gladly assented and Kian took some photographs. Then the wedding cake was served with coffee and punch. She made sure Kian took a whole roll of pictures. The judge departed, promising to return with the marriage certificate in a few days. Up in her room Jordon changed out of her wedding cloths with jeans and t-shirt then read the spare bedrooms for the guys. A few minutes later she side door opened, Nicky and the guy entered. She prepare dinner for them. It was only roast chicken with green beans on the side, but all of them seemed to appreciated the simple meal. Can I help you clean up ? He stood and seemed about to take a step toward her. No thank, I think I can handle it. Jordon feel suddenly alarmed at the prospect of sharing the small space around the sink with him. There;s a TV down the hall in the study. She told the guys, and they thank me for the wonderful meal and go in the study to watch TV except Nicky. He was standing very close to her, learning back on the counter watching her. She felt her mouth grow dry and cottony. She didn’t dare turn around to look at him. Your room is all ready. Second door on the right from the top of the stairs. Her voice was polite. If you want anything else, just let me know. You sound nervous, Jordon. Do I make you ndrvous? I don’t mean to. I’m not.. she dismissed his comment with a forced laugh. What are you worried about? He asked quietly. Seeing how it is our wedding night and all. Of course not, she said flatly. Funny how I didn’t hear too may complaints at the time, if I didn’t know better now. I would have sworn you enjoyed it. She forced a lighthearted laugh. I’m a professional actress, remember? She reminded him. If you say so, we a slight shrug he turned and began to leave the room. When she finally went upstairs, Nicky door was firmly closed. She shut her own door, flicked on a small lamp on top of the dresser and get ready for bed.
