“Yes, Mr. Harding saved my life.”
“Did he?” He tilts his head in surprise. I guess the papers didn’t give any real details about the incident.
“Yes, well. He’s an amazing man. Now, is there a point to this meeting? I’m sure he’s freaking out because I haven’t arrived at the car yet and he’s going to be…” The door slams open, and my Stone is standing there with his chest heaving.
“Sorry, you didn’t answer my text. What’s going on? After that shithead TA you told me about…I thought.” I stand up and let him wrap his arms around me. He squeezes like he thought he’d never see me again.
“I’m fine. The Dean has been made aware of our relationship,” I inform him, rubbing a hand over his scruffy jaw.
“And…,” he snarls, staring at the Dean.
“And nothing, Mr. Harding. I asked her in here to make sure everything between you was above board. Although her answers give me pause regarding the ethical issue, from the sight in front of me, I know an obsessed man when I see one. Congratulations. You’ve landed yourself one of the best and brightest this school has ever had.” He gives us a genuine smile that tends to calm Stone.
“Thank you. I’ve had a dozen interns come through and move along except my sister who stayed, but she’s the reason I contacted the school about the opportunity. Now, I understand that since I’ve violated my own ethics that you want to sever ties with my company and the internship program, but I would do it all over again if I could.”
“I have to speak with the school board on the matter. It’s not in our contract with your organization, and as all our students are adults, it’s their choice. All I can say is that it’s been a successful program to date.”
The men shake hands, and as the dean goes to shake mine, Stone stops him. “Nope. I already want to rip your head off for being alone with my wife in your office.”
“We’re not married yet,” I remind him.
“I considered you my wife from the day we met, so to me, you already are. Deal with it.”
“I suppose I can,” I giggle, cupping his ass cheek.
“Now, before you two get carried away, please tell me about this TA you mentioned.” We spend another ten minutes discussing the jackass. He’ll be monitored for the rest of the semester since he graduates as well. Stone has already informed me that he’ll have tabs on him for as long as possible. After the whole thing with Ms. Riley, we can’t be too careful with spiteful people.
Chapter Twelve
Stone
“Mom, Dad, come in. The ceremony starts in an hour. I’m so glad you can make it.” It’s only been a week since she finished the internship, and I finally got to announce it to the world that I’m marrying the most wonderful woman in the world.
Since her family isn’t here, we opted for a small wedding. It’s to be held in our backyard with a dozen or so guests. Most are friends and family of mine.
“You mean you’re so lucky we made it. Your Mom is still angry with Adriana.” They were supposed to arrive yesterday, but there was a storm in Florida that canceled some flights out. My sister, on the other hand, made a sneak move to Vegas.
“I’ll stop being upset when she gives me a grandbaby.”
“With that bastard, I think it’s better she didn’t.”
“Wow, that’s not nice. I found Gray to be charming.”
“Yeah, a weasel is more like it.”
“So where is your fiancée. I’d like to meet her before you get married.”
“Getting dressed in our bedroom.” My mother practically runs up the stairs two steps at a time. I know she’s going to love Demi.
An hour later, my father is walking my bride down the aisle to me. I don’t know how or why she agreed, but I can’t think of a better man to give my woman to me. She radiates pure beauty in her floor-length gown that flows with every step. I love the way her hair is down in a bunch of perfectly placed waves. My mother does hair on the side, so I’m sure she was up there doing her best to make my already gorgeous woman shine brighter.
With every step she gets closer to me, the more time seems to stop. My dick tightens against my briefs. I wore the tightest motherfuckers I could find and settled my cock into a good position so no one could spot my hard-on during the ceremony.
She’s about six feet away, and I lose my control and walk down the aisle and take her from my dad, “I’ve got this.”
“You look so beautiful, Demi.”
“Thank you, my love,” she whispers as we arrive in front of the officiant. The ceremony doesn’t feel as long as I thought it would be because her hand remains in mine. It’s as if a calm comes over me with her touch.
