Hers

CHAPTER 15

“Where are we going, Levi?”

We step into an empty stretch limo, and it immediately pulls off, heading for the strip.

“It’s a surprise.” His fingers lace between mine, and thumb over the diamond that sits perfectly on the ring finger of my left hand. It is giant, impressive, and flashy. Everything I am not. Well, maybe impressive, but all of the others just don’t fit me. When I returned from a lush spa day, I entered our penthouse suite only to find every surface covered with rose petals.

I never thought I would melt at the old cliché of rose petals, but between actually seeing it in real life, with my own two eyes, and smelling the rich floral smell, I loved every minute. Finally, I found Levi, after looking through almost every room in the place. He kneeled at the end of the bed in the master suite, a small blue Tiffany’s box in his hand. My heart pounded so hard against my chest, I thought it was going to break through my skin and skip across the room.

“Seven, I never thought I would want to get married again. I never thought we would have anything more than sex. I can’t even tell you how glad I am that you gave me a chance. This is quick, but clearly, we do things a little on the untraditional side. I know you are my forever. You and our baby. You own me; you have since that first night we were together. I love you, Seven James. Will you let me want you forever?”

Would I let him want me forever? How could I say no to that? Did I ever think I would get married? Hell no. But I didn’t want to say anything but yes to Levi. So I did. I said yes. I promised myself I would start living, and that is exactly what I would do. Live. With this amazing man by my side for life, or until we kill each other in some kind of violent or bizarre sex act.

Now we sit in the back of the limo, and I wonder where the fuck this guy is dragging me off to. I cross my legs and the short black cocktail dress I have on rides up further. I hope wherever he takes me, I am dressed half way decent, although I could totally double as a street walker. Speaking of street walkers, I was so close to dragging Levi to the Bunny Ranch. I’ve always wanted to go. I mean, seriously, how can you beat legal prostitution? The women are fucking smoking too! He brushed it off with some excuse about me being pregnant and prostitutes not being the safest idea. Whatever, a girl can totally dream.

I turn as the car starts to slow, and we pull into a parking lot.

“You ready?” Levi asks as the car comes to a stop.

You have got to be fucking kidding me. “You are serious, aren’t you?” I burst out laughing as I look out the window, seeing the sign that reads The Little White Wedding Chapel. He is serious as a heart attack too.

“You aren’t leaving Vegas as Seven James.” I laugh, because I know he is serious. I want to fight him on it; I really do. But I also want to leave Vegas as Seven Parker. Is that bad? Oh well. If it is, I do not give a single fuck.

“Well, Viva Las Vegas!” I take his hand and walk for the chapel. “I only agree to this if Elvis marries us.”
