Then lifting his arms he spoke to the crowd.
“We are gathered her today to witness the union of these three ugly grizzlies to these three gorgeous females.”
The crowd laughed. And even the brothers did too. Because ugly or not, the females were theirs now. Nothing else mattered.
Grinning proudly at his joke, Pylot then turned his attention to them.
“Do you Chance, August, and Phoenix Hawthorne take Bronwyn Crow, Jackson Rose, and Madison Draconian to be your lawfully wedded wives?”
Looking down at the face of his woman, Phoenix said the only thing he could in that moment. “With all my heart.”
Madison’s lashes fluttered and a gorgeous smile cut across her features. Pylot asked the same of the females, and the answers were returned in kind.
“Then by the power vested in me,” Pylot tapped his chest, “I now pronounce you, Breed and wife. You may now kiss your brides.”
With a whoop Phoenix bent Madison over his arm and slammed his lips down on hers. No, it wasn’t their first time, or even their thousandth time, but each time only got better.
She was just as hungry back, dragging her nails through his head, until he hissed from the pain and pleasure.
There was teeth, tongue, and a whole lot of swearing going on between them. And only once he started to hear laughter booming through the fields did he realize they weren’t actually alone and still very much had an audience.
“Don’t break her yet!” Someone yelled, and Phoenix was pretty sure that gruff voice belonged to Urich, but he couldn’t be sure.
Burying his face in her neck, he whispered, “We stay an hour, and then, I take you far away from here and have my wicked, wicked way with you dragon.”
She giggled, patting his shoulder. “Half an hour and we’ve got a deal.”
With a groan and a raging hard on visible to God and country, he straightened her out to the applause, cheers, and jeers of those around them.
His brothers clapped him on the shoulders. Congratulated them, and then hugged her. He did the same to them.
His family had grown by leaps and bounds since last year and Phoenix knew he’d never again regret the day he’d intruded on Madison’s bonding ritual. Without it, he’d never have her now, and he could never imagine his life without her.
Once all the congratulations and hugs were over, and they’d said thank-yous to one and all, and were just about to run off for some much needed hardcore, triple X kind of sex, Madison looked at him.
All soft and sweet and tender and his heart it felt like it might just burst in his chest.
“I knew the day I saw that boy up on that ridge with those two toned eyes that there’d never be another for me. I love you, Phoenix Hawthorne, with all my soul.”
Then leaning up on tiptoe, she tugged him down by the bow tie and gave him a slow, lingering kiss.
His lips curled. “I love you too, dragon. Always.”
“Good.” She patted his chest. “That’s real good. Now about that sex—”
She didn’t need to say another word. Taking her hand, he ran, yanking her out of there. Everyone knew what they were doing, but he didn’t dare stop. He was headed to his cabin and he was gonna lay claim to his woman again and again and again.
And that’s just what he did...
