Kresley noticed the water was off a second before she noticed the gleam in Cade’s eyes as he wiped water off his face and raked his dripping hair away from his forehead. She half screamed and tried to bolt from her chair to dodge him, but it was no use. She couldn’t out run Big Sexy or out muscle him. He caught her easily and tossed her up into his arms. Her shirt had pulled up to expose her stomach and Cade took advantage, burying his face into her soft tummy. He started blowing raspberries there, rubbing his heavy stubble across her skin, causing her to laugh and shriek as he tickled her.
“Careful Cade, She WILL pee on you if you make her laugh too hard. She really needs to get her bladder checked by a doctor”, Gertie stated, with a small laugh. Braxton stood next to her and laughed with her, cupping the back of her neck with his hand for a moment.
Cade took Gertie seriously and put Kresley on her feet quickly, but held on to her to keep her balanced and upright. “No strippers, Kresley. Repeat after me. I, Kresley Anderson, the hottest woman on the earth, promise my fiancé that I will not be in the presence of any strippers, male or female, again, for as long as I live.”
Kresley scrunched up her face, as if she were having to seriously think about it before making any promises. After some more tickling by Cade and hearing his alpha growls come from deep within his chest, Kresley repeated what Cade stated, missing a few words here and there. She kissed him with a loud smack on the lips to seal the deal.
“Sorry girls, unless you don’t want to have me come to any future parties, I can’t be there with a stripper. My man made me promise”, Kresley stated with a shrug and lift of her shoulders and arms. She wasn’t too broken up about it.
“Way to go, bowing down to your fiancé just because he gives you good lovin’.” Birdie smirked and winked at Cade. He flipped her the bird and went back to the grill.
Boomer followed him back over, slow to leave the space that Grace stood. “Grace, the next time you need a stripper, just call me. I’ve got the police uniform ready to go”, Boomer stated with a wink. He took his hand and stroked over her lower back and he walked behind her, heading back over to the grill. Kresley noticed that Grace didn’t say anything, but blushed furiously for several minutes after. Kresley just smiled slyly at Boomer when she caught his eye and nodded her approval to continue his flirting. The other men wandered back over to the grill as well.
“Okay, so sitting on you to get a date set didn’t work. So let’s just write down the months and the weekend dates left in this year in a bowl and you pick one of each. Whatever date it creates will be your wedding date. It’s that simple”, Gertie stated, always being the pragmatic one in the group. Kresley thought for a moment and decided to try it and see.
Birdie hollered to Francie to bring some paper, pen and a bowl. She and Jaxson came outside with all three. She wrote down the months in one color and the dates in another color of paper. She folded each piece of paper so Kresley couldn’t know which was which. They called Cade over to the group and explained what they were doing. Cade just nodded and stroked Kresley’s hair. He was truly fine with however they came up with the wedding date and details.
“Okay, so Cade, you pick the month and Kresley you pick the date. Don’t open them until you can together after picking.”
Kresley watched as Cade reached in with his giant hand and took out one of the colored pieces of paper that represented the months. Kresley followed his lead and did the same for the dates. They both looked at each other and nodded, opening up the pieces of paper together. They looked down and Kresley sucked in her breath. She looked up at Cade with wide eyes, silently asking him if the date was okay. He grinned at her and simply kissed her forehead.
“Well, what’s the date?”
“The date is July 13th, so next weekend! Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh! Next weekend? Seriously. No, baby, we can’t get everything together to marry by next weekend. That’s crazy! Cade……”, Kresley stated, sheer panic on her face and motions of her arms. Melt down shall commence in 3...2...1...
Cade took hold of Kresley’s arms and squeezed her to get her attention. She focused up at his beautiful blue eyes and immediately began calming down. “Listen baby. Are you listening? Okay, I. Do. Not. Care when our wedding is as long as it’s soon and non-stressful for you. So next weekend sounds great to me. We already agreed that we wouldn’t take off for a honey moon until these cases were solved or at least stopped. But we CAN get married. I’m so excited my love. Now we just need to figure out where to get married. Just put ideas in the bowl and draw another one out. It’s the easiest way to decide when you don’t feel like doing it.”
Francie, Gertie, Birdie and Grace gathered around them at the moment, all excited that a date had been set. Boomer and the guys had been watching from near the grill, all looking happy for Cade and Kres. Boomer walked over and casually stated a suggestion for the wedding.
“Hey, why don’t you guys just get married at that small chapel that sits on Lake Windsor. I know they let people get married in it for a small fee. And it’s air conditioned. But it’s small, not far from here, and it has beautiful lake views around it. There’s a reception building nearby to it if you wanted to have the after party nearby.” Boomer finished his opinion and looked around, perplexed. “What? Like I can’t have an opinion on something besides grilling meats? I notice things. I’m a cop. And I’m a guy. We think about stuff like this, for your information. Like where we want to get married. I’m not just a pretty face, you know.”
“Oh, Boomer we know that. We aren’t staring at you oddly as much as we’re standing here thinking that we are the event planners. WE should have thought about Lake Windsor. And we didn’t. We’re dorks”, Francie stated with a shake of her head and a snort of laughter. “Kresley, Cade? What do you say?”
Kresley looked at Cade excitedly and they communicated as they often do, with just their eyes, and nodded together. “That is definitely the golden ticket for marriage. Let’s do it!”, Kres stated happily. She was twirled around in Cade’s arms, with him bombarding her neck with sweet, wet kisses. He ended with a long kiss on the lips, then he smacked her ass and asked for the girls to grab the condiments and stuff in the kitchen and bring everything out to the table cloth lined table where the food would go.
Kresley walked towards the kitchen and as she passed by Grace, she observed that she was still looking at Boomer, with a thoughtful and pensive look on her face. What that was about, Kresley didn’t know, but she chose not to open that can of worms here, in front of Boomer. She would grill Grace later. She grabbed Grace’s hand and pulled her with her, shaking her from her daydream. “Snap out of it Gracie and help me.” Grace nodded and they went to gather up the stuff to enjoy a night of laughter and food with each other.

Group chat titled “Cade and Kresley Wedding Prep” with Kresley, Cade, the Anderson sisters and Grace
Gertie: Okay, guys. I’ve got the church reserved and paid for, as well as the large reception barn they have events inside of near the church. Francie and I went out there and it’s gorgeous. Air conditioned at both places, thank you Jesus. And there’s a good size kitchen on site in the barn for the caterers to handle everything. We don’t have to worry about anything as far as flowers and decorations. They do it all. Kresley picked her colors and the flowers she wanted for everything. The menu was picked by Cade and the cake flavor as well. So the caterer is set to feed 100 people. The only things left to do is pick out wedding dress, bridesmaids, and suits/tuxes. That has to happen today or tomorrow.
Birdie: Yes mam, General Gertie mam. You’re on the ball sistah! I know Kresley is relieved for someone else to take over and just say “here, you do it”. I bet she says that to Big Sexy a lot, too.
Cade: Birdie, you’re such a brat. Lord I can’t wait til you find your man. I’m going to properly vet him and give him a crash course I’ve entitled “Birdie Anderson – Safety Goggles Required”
Birdie: Why safety goggle
s?
Cade: Because you’re so full of shit, that it’s going to hit the fan and splatter on your man. Thus, the goggles.
Francie: Awwww, look at Cade, holding his own with Birdie. So cute. Big Brother and Little Sis, annoying each other.
Kresley: Sorry guys, can’t talk much. Busy doing something with Cade right now.
Grace: Oh my gosh Kresley. Please tell me y’all aren’t having….S E X!
Cade: We aren’t having S E X….but we will be in T-minus 10, 9, 8, 7……..
Francie: I’m disinfecting my phone and leaving this convo now. Kres, let us know what time you want to hit the bridal store to look at dresses today. Later people.
Cade took both his and Kresley’s phones and put them in the bedside table drawer. “No more of that baby. Just more of me. Come here. Good morning sweetheart.” Cade leaned down to Kresley, kissing her gently. He increased the pressure of the kiss until her lips parted and his tongue entered softly. He kissed her like that for a few minutes, hearing her moans, feeling her hands grab on to his back muscles, his biceps, wrapping her arms around his neck and head. He pressed his heavy body into her, imprinting himself on her like she had with his heart.
Kissing Kresley was like eating his favorite candy. He craved her lips, her mouth, her tongue and when he had that first taste of her, it made his head explode. It was like drinking her in small bursts. The more she gave to him, the more her mouth reciprocated his kiss, the drunker he became on the taste of her. She tasted like vanilla and wild cherries and he was addicted. Minutes ticked by and Cade still lay on top of Kres, kissing her, stroking her hair, kissing her eye lashes, her nose, the freckles scattered there.
“The longer I’m with you, the more addicted I become. You are my drug, Kresley Anderson”, Cade softly stated, looking deep into her soft, sleepy eyes. Her green depths matched the emeralds that cascaded across the ring that encircled her ring finger. His ring. His woman. Cade wanted to roar out his joy at knowing she was his.
Cade trailed his lips down Kresley’s naked body. He softly kissed and nipped at her neck, bathing her pulse point with his wet tongue, pushing it down to her collar bone. Kresley moaned softly, digging her finger nails into Cade’s back and shoulder muscles. She urged him with her hands to move further down. He next came to Kresley’s breasts. Perky, pouty nipples called out to him, begging for his mouth and tongue. Cade obliged with long, slow licks, gentle sucks and intentional twists and tugs from his fingers. After he showed love for one breast, Kresley pushed his head towards the other. He definitely didn’t want to show favoritism.
Kresley began to rock her hips under Cade’s body, rolling them to try to ease the ache in between. She became firmer in vocally asking for what she wanted. She even demanded that he hurry things up, taking fistfuls of his hair and pulling him to where she needed him most. Cade indulged Kresley, wanting her to feel in control and the one calling the shots. They both knew that Cade could have her moaning in surrender with just a few licks of his tongue.
Cade’s fingers followed a trail down her stomach to the juncture of her thighs. He felt wetness there and heat. So much heat. He pushed two fingers inside of her gently, then harder, turning them until the fingers bent and angled up against her G-spot. Kresley cried out with the intensity of the sensations rocking her body. Cade began nudging his fingers against that sweet spot of sensation. His thumb came up and began to roughly shape circles over and around her clit, causing Kresley’s legs to shake, and tremors to run across her abdomen and nipples.
“Come for me baby. Show me how much you love this, love my fingers, love my mouth on you.”
“Cade, baby. Please, please. Help me. I need you. I need you inside me. More than anything.”
Cade reared up and back from Kresley, looking down at her and taking her in. Her body was flushed a rosy color. Her chest was heaving with rapid breaths, making her breasts bounce and her nipples super tight. There was a sheen of wetness between her legs that he knew he had put there. Her green eyes were like fire and Cade could feel the flames lick up his manhood like a tongue. Kresley held out her arms to him, asking him without words to take her that way, with him holding her down, melting their bodies into one.
He pushed her legs far apart, bending her knees and hooking his arms through them. This left Kresley vulnerable, but she knew the pleasure to come was worth it. She watched as this handsome man leaned over her and kissed her lips softly. She could feel him as he eased his manhood inside her, her wetness allowing him to slide his huge length into her without any discomfort. Oh wow, Cade felt so good inside of her. Kresley wrapped her arms around his shoulders, as if to hold on for the impending ride of her life. She leaned up and put her lips against Cade’s throat and sucked with her mouth, soothed with her tongue, then growled in his ear, “Take me hard baby. Now. Don’t hold back.”
Cade didn’t have to hear any more than that and he took Kresley savagely. Arousal hit them both hard and the pleasure they both experienced as Cade rocked his manhood inside of her, in and out, harder and faster with each thrust of his hips, was almost more than they could handle. Both of them breathed harshly, grasped onto flesh desperately. Cade took his hands and cupped Kresley’s butt cheeks, pulling her roughly up against him. His erection glided against her clit, causing Kresley to scream out in pleasure. The sounds she made when Cade’s body thrust into hers was like music drifting over him. Her body sang to his, drawing him in until he was chasing the tune to memorize for later.
Kresley wrapped both legs around Cade’s hips and began to rock herself back and forth on his manhood. She was close and wanted to share the explosion that was about to happen in her body with him. Soon, the sounds of bodies slapping against each other filled the bedroom. Wet sounds of sex and the smell of arousal filled the air. Cade grunted with the effort to hold back until he knew Kresley was there with him, ready to give in and come. “I’m almost there baby. Are you ready? I need you to be Kres. Please sweetheart.” Cade begged as his sex thrust in and out of her depths, harder, faster, deeper than he had ever had before.
Kresley opened her eyes to look up at her fiancé. “Yes Cade. Rub my clit, I’m ready baby. So ready. Help me.” Cade didn’t waste another second and took one hand, rubbing on Kresley’s clit until he felt the tremors begin inside and how her sex gripped his manhood so tight. Cade gave in and erupted inside of her, taking her with him as their bodies exploded together. Cade held on to her tightly for many moments, then rolled off of her onto his side, pulling her with him.
They lay there for a long time in each other’s arms, until their breaths were normal and the slow and deep kisses they shared began to stir things once again for Cade. “That’s the best way to wake up in the morning, I do have to say.” Cade grinned down at Kresley as he stated that. She giggled and let out a loud yawn. “Why don’t you go back to sleep for a little while, baby? We don’t have to be anywhere until later this afternoon. Rest for a bit while I hold you.”
Kresley kissed Cade’s chest lovingly and snuggled into him deeper. “I think I will. Sex with such a sexy, hot detective can definitely make a girl exhausted.” Cade slapped her on the ass for that comment, then held her tighter, kissing the top of her head.
“Love you baby”, Cade stated softly.
“Love you more.”
Cade smiled, thinking to himself at her reply, I highly doubt it.

A few hours later, Kresley found herself in the middle of a bridal store, with her sisters, Grace and Jaxson sitting on a long white couch, sipping on champagne. Well all except for Jaxson, who had some sparkling white grape juice instead.
Kresley had already tried on four dresses and each one was turned down by her entourage. Even Jaxson got into it by holding up a sign with a thumbs up or down emoji. They had already picked out beautiful bridesmaid dresses in a vibrant peacock blue color. The dresses were knee length and strapless, wrapping around their bodies in tucks and ruching. Now all that was left was to find Kresle
y’s perfect dress. If that was possible.
“Okay, Kresley James, come on out so we can see the next contender. What about that one I picked out with the daring dip in back?”, Birdie asked.
“No, Birdie. That one will show off part of my ass crack and dimples. Cade would blow his top.” Kresley called out from the dressing room a few steps away from the couch.
“Well, yeah. But in a good way. A fun way.” Birdie snickered.
“I loved the first one on you Kresley. I just wished it came in a different material”, Grace interjected. “You honestly look beautiful in anything you try on, but you need to make sure that it’s the dress that makes you feel the most beautiful and also the one that you know is going to make Cade cry. The big baby.”
“He is not a big baby. He just loves me. Plus, finding a dress depends on finding one that won't have to be altered and I can pick up ready to wear the day before my wedding.”
“Yes, we know. Everyone knows. Cade loves you. He tells everyone. Every day. Multiple times a day. Are we sure he doesn’t have brothers?”, Francie asked with a grin.
“If he did, he probably wouldn’t subject them to any of us. We’d scare them too bad”, Gertie stated quietly. “I’m not sure there’s a guy out there who could handle all my craziness.”
