'Let's Chill' by Guy

Shane's POV

Once the photographer finished with our pictures, I motioned for a white curtain to be dropped. We took our seats at the table set up for our mini reception.

We had many Italian dishes prepared for us - Lasagna, Fettuccine Alfredo, Bruschetta spread over Crostini bread, Minestrone, Carbonara, Ziti, and more. To drink, we had bottles of Cris' wine. 

I even got us a cake.

"Shane, this is an amazing elopement! You put this together in less than a week. Bliss got a very beautiful wedding dress in a day. And congratulations. You should win a 'Couple of the Year' award if such a thing exists."

"Thank you, Andrea. I agree. It came out perfect for the number of days we had to plan it."

"It really did. And the sunset was just perfect," my beautiful bride said while swatting my hands. Bliss picked up some of the lasagna, put it onto a fork, and fed it to me. "As much as you spoil me, today I will spoil you. Open your mouth."

Who am I to deny my bride her request? It feels extra special to finally say 'my bride.' I opened my mouth, and Bliss fed me the lasagna.

"These glasses are cute, Shane - bride and groom. Where did you find them?" Carly asked while Bliss was feeding me more of that delicious lasagna.

"I found the glasses on Tuesday before you came to Miami. I bought one for everybody. And I told the salesman they were a gift so no one would get suspicious. The glasses are for everyone to keep."

"Open your mouth." Bliss gave me some of the Bruschetta on the Crostini bread. I could definitely get used to this. I know she won't do this all the time, but for today I am going to enjoy it. I noticed Bliss had a sad look on her face.

"What's wrong, Darling?"

"I miss Jessica so much. Jessica should be here with us."

I wrapped my arms around Bliss and pulled her closer to me.

"I wish she was with us too. The grief will always be there. But let me be there for you. Talk to me whenever you need comfort."

"Okay." Suddenly, I felt hands roaming down South, so I started fidgeting in my chair. "Let's cut the cake, then do our first dance."

Before Bliss has me moaning at the table, we stood up and walked over to cut the cake.

I still can't get that image of her from yesterday out of my mind - standing naked right in front of my face. Boy, did I love it because that body is mine, and I will enjoy working it over and over tonight. 'Junior' was happy standing behind Bliss, and she started giggling because she knew it. I placed my hand over Bliss's on the knife, and we then cut the whole cake.

After putting a slice on two plates, we simultaneously smashed the cake in each other's faces.

"Great minds think alike." Bliss and I stood there and ate the cake off each other's faces.

Bliss POV

"Seriously, you guys?" I looked up at Shane, then we looked at Julian and simultaneously said, "Yes!"

"Shush, Julian. You will probably do the same thing in September. It's their day. Bliss and Shane can do whatever they want," Says Andrea.

"Exactly! We have been waiting for them to finally get married. It's long overdue," Carly then said.

"Shane, you still have crumbs on your face." He leaned down, and I whispered, "I am ready to go. Let's get the dancing over with."

I dragged Shane over to the mini-dance stage he had set up so we could dance. We agreed to 'Stay With You' by John Legend as our wedding song. 

Shane and I know we will not have a perfect marriage, but we are staying together - forever. He is mine, and I am his. I rested my head on Shane's chest throughout the dance. Even in four-inch heels, I am short.

As the song came to an end, Julian went on the stage. "Before you, both leave to get your freak on, may I have this dance?"

We all could not control our laughter, but it was true. I am ready to go. Shane and I have waited long enough.

I danced with Julian, Shane danced with Andrea, and Mason danced with Carly. My all-time favorite song from 'The Lion King' was played - 'Can You Feel The Love Tonight.' I had tears in my eyes while I danced with Julian. "Thank you, Jules."

"You're welcome, Bliss. Seeing you happy with Shane makes me happy." I did the same thing with Julian as I did with Shane - I laid my head on his chest.

As soon as the song was over, "Excuse me, Julian." Shane came over, scooped me up, and said, "See ya when we see ya. Please leave me a note or something about flying back with us on Tuesday. Peace!" They laughed their heads off as Shane carried me off the balcony and up to our room.

~~~~~~~

Shane and I decided to wait to go on a honeymoon until after our second ceremony. So, we will stay in Italy for a few days, then fly back to Miami.

"Thank you, darling, for giving me a second chance. I'm sorry for what happened. But your life was in danger. It hurt so much knowing that I couldn't talk to you."

"Shane, knowing why you did what you did doesn't take away the hurt I felt. But I understand why you did it. It was because you loved me and were protecting me. Shane, that is in the past now. Let's leave it there. Stop dwelling on it. We have a wonderful future ahead of us. I have something I never in my life thought I would have - a husband. Plus, we eloped. I despise everyone who was connected with the blackmail scandal. But now, Mr. Landes, you are about to get what Grayson will NEVER have."

Shane moved my hair and started planting kisses on my neck.

"And, what is that, Mrs. Landes?"

I grabbed Shane's hands and placed them behind my back to unzip my dress. "Ravish me. You want kids. I want kids, like now. Let's make mom's wish finally come true for a little Bliss or little Shane. But first, I brought with me what I was going to wear on our 2019 wedding night that we didn't have. I paid good money for it so that you will see it. I'll be right back."

After grabbing my lingerie, I went to the bathroom to change. I have been waiting for this day, but I am a nervous wreck. I opened the door to the bedroom.

"Naughty girl is ready for her future baby daddy."

Shane had his back turned. When he turned around, he darted over to me extra fast.

"I'm guessing you approve."

"Oh honey, I more than approve. It's not going to be on long, anyway. You might as well take off the heels."

"Wait!! Before we do this, what if I start bleeding? I read that it sometimes happens after the first time. And I am nervous."

"Listen to me; if that happens, it will be okay. And there is a tub in the bathroom."

Shane scooped me up and carried me over to the bed. "How come I am the only one almost naked? And I am cold, Shane. Hurry up." I closed my legs until I saw those abs.

My, my, my. Shane is built from head to toe. I took one big gulp. "Please be gentle. Shane Jr. is not small by any means."

"I promise, Darling. Take a deep breath because our dreams are finally coming true."

************

Bliss' POV

"OH, MY GOODNESS!!" I tried to sit up on the bed, but I could not. "Shane, I can't get up! I am beyond sore." And it happened. My side of the bed was bloodied up.

He was not moving.

"SHANE!!"

"Huh? What's wrong?" He turned to face me, and I pointed to the sheets.

"I can't move. My body aches like crazy."

Shane walked like an old man while going into the bathroom. I couldn't help but snicker and tell him, "I'm loving the view from the back." I heard the water running.

"The tub is big enough for both of us to soak. Wrap your arms around my neck, and I'll carry you to the bathroom."

I did just as he said, then Shane lifted me off the bed and walked towards the bathroom.

When Shane sat me down in the tub, I felt so relaxed. Then, he joined me, and we cuddled. We enjoyed a bubble bath.

"So, what did you think, 'Wild woman?'"

"My body is sore as heck, but it was worth the wait. Hey, I have always told you I wasn't shy."

I turned around to face him and blew bubbles in his face. "How about we go another round right here in the bathroom?"

"You are so relaxed you didn't even know that I just did." He leaned me against the wall in the tub, and round 2 was on.

************

Shane's POV

While Bliss was still asleep, I got dressed and went to sit in the living room. As I sat in the chair, I looked at my ring finger and twirled my wedding band around. I am finally a happily married man.

Mum is not going to be happy, so that is why the second ceremony is for her. Last night was exactly the way I dreamed it. I was so deep in my thoughts that I didn't hear Bliss come downstairs, wrap her arms around me and kiss my cheek.

"Good afternoon, Lover Boy. Appropriate name after last night." I grabbed her hands, so she could walk around the couch and sit on my lap.

"It's a shame we have to go back to Miami."

"Not really, Shane. Now that we are married, we can do what we want and where we want in Miami. Speaking of, how are we going to be together?"

"Well, I am going to keep the building in New York. I will have a new one built in Miami. I may have to fly back and forth for a little bit."

"Oh, Shane, I have so much money that I don't know what to do with it. I want to help financially with the Miami building. It can be a joint complex. We can drive to work together. I have a department for each location of my makeup business. And I even have some requests for me to open more locations. So, I need more space. What do I have to do to convince you?"

Bliss's hands started roaming under my shirt to pull it off. Then, she planted kisses on my face. "Please, Lover Boy?" The hands then went down South, unbuckling my belt. "This couch feels extra comfy."

"Someone's frisky this afternoon. You're right; this couch is comfy. Stand up."

Bliss and I switched positions, and that was all she wrote.

*********

"I'm more than convinced. When we get back to Miami, we can look for space."

"Thank you, Lover Boy. Shane, uh, we haven't eaten since yesterday at the reception. And, I, uh, need to sit in the tub."

"I'll run you a bath in the jacuzzi tub upstairs. Then, we still have food from the reception, and I will make enough for both of us."

***********

Narrator's POV

The few days went by fast for Bliss and Shane. They had too much 'fun' over the past few days since they were married.

After packing their clothes, Bliss and Shane made their way downstairs to the foyer of her house. Once they were done, they hopped in the Range Rover with their luggage and made their way to the airport.

~~~~~~~

Bliss' POV

Once we took our seats on the plane, Mr. Jimmy came into the cabin. "Congratulations, Bliss and Shane. I knew this would happen to you two. I just couldn't figure out when. Shane, we are clear for takeoff and ready to go."

"Thank you, Mr. Jimmy. That was really sweet." Mr. Jimmy is like another dad to me. He chewed Shane out when we broke up. Well, who didn't chew Shane out? But, he has redeemed himself.

"You're welcome. And, please, just call me Jimmy."

"Thank you, Jimmy." We buckled our seat belts. Once Jimmy saw that we did, he went back to the cockpit and started up the plane. Within fifteen minutes, he took off, and we were in the air.

Shane grabbed my hands and tried to coax me to sit on his lap. "Darling, we have an eleven-hour and twenty-five-minute flight back to Miami. Other than Jimmy, Marsha, and the flight attendants, it is just you and me."

"And, your point is?" Then, he started planting kisses on my neck and put his hands behind my back, unzipping my dress. I started swatting his hands.

"My point is, how about we go to the back and continue what we were doing in the house? Remember, we are making up for the lost time."

My dress was now on the floor, and I was in my lacy lingerie. I could tell that Shane was thrilled. His eyes went a darker shade of blue and had a look of lust.

"What if the flight attendant walks past us and sees me in lacy lingerie?"

On cue, in came Michael. "Bliss and Shane, would you like......?"

Shane took his jacket off real fast and wrapped it around me. "Yes, I would like some water, please?"

"Seriously?" Now Shane was peeved.

"Yes, seriously. I will definitely need the energy. Shane, you wore me out in the house."

The Michael scurried to the bar on the plane, then came back with a bottle of cold water. "Sorry for the intrusion. Here's your water, Bliss." He handed me the water and took off.

"Thank you." Shane was getting impatient as I sat in his lap, drinking my water.

"Seriously? Were you really thirsty or just doing that to annoy me?"

"A little bit of both. Keep it in your pants, Landes. You can wait a few minutes."

He took the water bottle out of my hand and sat it on the table near us. "Shane, I wasn't finished with that!"

"Hang on, honey, because we are going for a walk."

"Put me down, Shane!!!" Whoever was on the plane heard me scream while I was being carried back to the bedroom.

For a private jet, that bedroom was enormous. Shane sat me down on the counter of the small dresser in there. Then, he smashed our mouths together while placing his hands behind my dress and ripped it off.

We broke in Shane's bed several times. I am addicted to my husband.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Twelve hours later, we landed safely in Miami.

"Shane, Kam, and Cris will know we did what we did if I walk off this plane funny. My gosh, my body is sore."

They are just going to have to find out. I stood up out of the chair and walked very slowly to the door while Shane went to talk to Jimmy. As soon as Kam and Cris saw me walking, they burst out laughing. I took one step at a time, feeling like an old lady. It took fifteen minutes to reach the final step.

They saw Shane and burst out laughing again. He came down the steps with ease.

"Looks like somebody had some 'fun' over the past few days," Kam says while holding her stomach from laughing so hard.

So, I just told them. I grabbed Shane's hand and said, "Surprise!"

"We eloped and got married in Milan. I remembered when you told me you and Cris had eloped. I wanted to do the same thing. Shane agreed. We lost almost a year of our relationship. I didn't want to wait for a big wedding, which we will still have, so that Adrian can plan it. But, this one was for us."

"Oh my gosh! Congratulations, Bliss and Shane! I'm so happy for you guys! That explains the funny walk off the plane. I promise to keep your secret." Kam then gave me a big hug. "Girl, we must be sisters, but we got our men. Did you ask him too?"

"Shane did propose first. But yes, I did ask him to elope."

"Congratulations, Bliss and Shane. I'm sure you would like to get home and soak in a nice, warm tub of water. Fortunately, your parents, Shane, are at my house with the kids."

"Thanks, Cris. That's good to know because Shane will have to carry me into the house. Mason, Andrea, Carly, and Julian are the only others that know. They were our witnesses. And Julian walked with me down the aisle. Thank you both for coming."

Cris got in his truck and pulled it closer to where I was standing so I would not have far to walk.

I sat in the back seat with Kam, and Shane sat in the front with Cris. Then, Cris pulled off to our house.

~~~~~~~~~~

After my nice soak in the tub, I went to my office and checked my emails for work. I saw that my personal assistant sent me an email about a photoshoot, and I get to pick who I want to take it with. I want Shane to pose with me.

Shane came into my office with a white tank shirt and pair of jeans. Uh-oh, I feel like ripping that shirt off. Shane lifted me out of my chair, then sat me on his lap.

"You have to stop wearing white tank shirts. My female senses are kicking in right now, and I want to rip it off."

"Hmm, I have to buy more tank shirts."

I started running my fingers through his hair. "Daddy Shane, can you do a photo shoot with me? It is for a new swimwear line. The company's name is Epoch Clothing Company. It is next week in New York."

"I would love to do a photoshoot with my beautiful, sexy wife."

"Thank you, Lover Boy. Give me a few minutes to reply back."

I stood up and turned around so that I could face my computer. I told the company, Shane, and I would love to do the photo shoot and send me the details. Then, I clicked send.

Shane had me stand up, then threw me over his shoulder and was about to carry me upstairs until we heard keys opening the door.

We both sighed, "Shane, we have to hide our rings."

Before he put me down, I pinched his butt. He jumped while taking his ring off. I took mine off, too, and quickly gave them to him. He put them in his pants pocket.

"Wait until later, woman."

In came Adrian and Brently.

"Hi, mom and dad." We gave them both a hug.

"Hey, Shane, everything is going great at the company. And how is my girl doing?"

"I am great. Relaxed and refreshed, but tired. It's going to be a few days before I recover from jet lag."

Shane is slick. His hand drifted to my butt, and he pinched it. "I will see you both, hmm, most likely tomorrow."

I could not stop yawning, so I went upstairs to my bed. It was calling for me. I thought I would have fallen asleep instantly, but I couldn't. I was still on cloud nine from secretly getting married to Shane.

Speaking of Shane, I felt the bed dip, and the covers were gently peeled back. He scooted me over and pulled the covers over both of us. And, this time, I fell asleep.

*********

Narrator's POV

Surprisingly, Bliss and Shane kept their elopement a secret for about two weeks until......

~~~~~~~~~~~

Bliss' POV

Since the building where the photo shoot will take place is in the heart of NYC, Shane and I are staying at my penthouse.

"We are ready for you on the set!" I heard a woman scream from outside the dressing room door.

Shane was waiting for me outside the door when I opened it. Then, we made our way to the set. The room was warm and bright but not hot. There was a chair in the room, so we took off our robes and stood near the beach backdrop.

"Mr. Landes, I understand this is your first photo shoot. Just act natural and let Ms. Sanders guide you."

Shane nodded his head to say yes.

The first shot was of us smiling and pretending we were tossing a beach ball.

For the second one, there was actually a volleyball net set up. Shane stood on one side, and I stood on the other, and we pretended like we were playing volleyball.

The third one was of us lying in the sand. We took quite a few shots.

We changed into several different swimwear outfits and took loads of pictures.

The last one, Shane, stood behind me with his hands on my hips, and I twisted my head to look into his eyes. Shane then winked at me, and I blushed.

"Beautiful set of pictures. You both can get dressed. Mr. Landes, you didn't seem nervous at all."

"Trust me, I was nervous," Shane said while chuckling.

"I told him he didn't need to be nervous. Thank you for taking the pictures. I really had fun."

"You're welcome, Ms. Sanders." We then walked back to our dressing rooms and changed. Then, a representative from the company met us back in the studio.

"Great job out there. We would love to have you both model for us in the future. Also, as a gift for today's photoshoot, the swimwear is yours to keep. Here is my card. And here is your modeling fee. When the owners of the company knew that you and Mr. Landes agreed to model the swimwear line, they doubled the modeling fee. You're a very popular couple. By the way, I am Mrs. Christine Gray."

"Thank you, Mrs. Gray." She handed me her business card, then Mrs. Gray left. Shane went to pack his swimwear, and I went to pack mine. Shane opened the envelope Mrs. Gray gave him and was shocked!

"Uh, is this correct?"

Shane and I both received a check for 5 million dollars.

"Absolutely. Ashton gets the best for his clients. And, ever since I started walking again after my accident, modeling fees for me have significantly increased. Shane, I am still living off the salary that you gave me. Every modeling fee that I earned is still untouched in the bank. Even the money the judge awarded me from Alexander, and after selling his company, is untouched. Like I told you before, I have so much money, and I don't know what to do with it."

Then, we traveled back to the penthouse.

~~~~~~~~~~

Narrator's POV

One week later.

"In celebrity news, rumors are swirling that Bliss Sanders and Shane Landes recently eloped and are now happily married. In their ads for Epoch Clothing Company, if you carefully examine Ms. Sanders and Mr. Landes' left hands, it appears that they are wearing wedding bands. If they are married, they are one couple who truly deserves happiness. More on this story as it develops."

~~~~~~~~

Bliss' POV

"We loved your photoshoot with Shane, Bliss."

"Thanks, Kam."

"We sure did. And we also loved the wedding rings we saw on your left hands. So, start talking!"

Mom was upset. Shane and I looked at each other and said, "Uhh, we eloped and got married."
