Chapter 7

Holly

I thought I was dreaming; at one point I thought I was dead. I’d never felt anything so beautiful in all my life and I never wanted it to end. Then people barged in the room and suddenly my whole dream came crashing down. It’s reality. My mind is struggling to catch up with what’s happening and all I can feel right now is anger.

“Holly, baby. I can explain.” Vance holds his hands up defensively.

“Don’t you ‘baby’ me, Vance.” I wiggle out from under him and stand up too quickly.

I begin to stumble, but he’s there to catch me. It’s then I realize I’m completely naked. And so is he. My eyes travel down the width of his body until I land on his cock. It’s hard and slick and the reality of what we just did hits me. I cover my mouth with my hands, but it’s not because I regret it. It’s because it was everything I dreamed it would be and I thought it wasn’t real.

A warm blanket is draped around me and I look up to his eyes. They’re so sad, but there’s an urgency there. Like he needs me to understand.

My mind can’t process everything at once and I sit down on the edge of the bed nearby. Vance grabs a blanket for himself, draping it around his waist. Then he kneels down in front of me, taking my hands in his.

“It’s okay. Just let me explain.”

I burst into tears and throw my arms around him. All my emotions are going crazy. I’m relieved that he’s here in front of me, so happy, but so confused as to how this happened.

“I-I just.” I choke on a sob and he holds me, rubbing my back. “I thought I’d never see you again.”

“Shh. I know.”

He pulls back and holds my hands again after he wipes away my tears.

“The day you turned eighteen and I dropped you off at your place, the next morning I knew I wanted to make it official. I’d waited long enough for you and wanted the world to know it.” He brings my hand up to his mouth and kisses the back of it. “That next morning I told my mom I was ready to get you a ring. She was the only one who knew all about you. I’d been telling her stories about you for years. Honestly I think she knew you were the one before I did.” He smiles and tucks a strand of hair behind my ear. “That day she and I went to the other side of town to this really old jewelry store. She said it was the same place that dad had gotten hers years before and I wanted to do the same.”

His smile as soft as he shrugs, and for some reason there’s a hint of blush to his cheeks.

“I thought it would be good luck. Their marriage was everything I wanted, and I knew when I met you that it would be the same for us.
