Wild Renegade

by Andria Large

  I shake my head. "Fucking dick," I mutter but can't help the smile that spreads across my face. "Come on; let’s get back out there before they think we're fighting."

  "Like O.M.G. You mean I get to meet the rest of Renegade? Like, I'm gonna fucking die!"

  I open the door and walk out, unable to stop my laughter as I head down the hall with the big goofy ass blonde monster of a man on my heels talking like a teenage girl. I would love to know where Raelynn found this freak. After I introduce Sebastian to everyone, he turns to me.

  "So where is Alex anyway?" he asks.

  "Still in the hospital." I frown.

  "Damn, maybe I can visit him tomorrow before we head back to Philly," Sebastian says.

  "I'm sure he'd like that," I say with a small grateful smile.

  "Do you two have a place to stay tonight?" Lizette asks Raelynn.

  "No, we were going to get a hotel room," she says.

  "Don't waste your money, we have another room you two can stay in," she says.

  "Really? Are you sure?" Raelynn asks. "We don't want to impose."

  "Babe, are you really questioning that? Thank you, Lizette, we'd appreciate it," Sebastian says. "I mean, look at this place, for shit's sake, I'm sure they have room for ten more people if need be."

  I see Beau snickering out of the corner of my eye. Lizette is laughing softly, too. Raelynn, though, is glaring at her husband. I glance over at Nicole who is finally smiling. I think it's the first time I've seen her smile since everything happened. So I guess it was a good thing that Raelynn and Sebastian showed up. I think Nicole needed more than just my love and support; she needed her family, too. And Raelynn and Sebastian are definitely her family, and now, even more so than her own family.

  Chapter Twelve

  ~Nicole~

  Viva Las Vegas. I've never been to Las Vegas before and riding down the main strip in the bus is an amazing sight. We get to the hotel a little past three pm, but we only have time to drop off our things before we have to head to the venue to get ready for the concert. Ace promises that he will take me out after the concert so I can see the strip when it's dark out.

  It's been a month and a half since everything with Hillary happened. My neck is fully healed and only a thin pink scar is left as a reminder. The doctor said it would continue to fade with time. Ace still has nightmares every now and then but they seem to be coming less and less frequently now. Alex is working hard to get back into condition so that he can go with us on the European tour; in the meantime, Dennis is with us, and is doing a fantastic job. Lizette is very happy having her brother so close.

  There is only a month left on the tour. With everything that's happened, it ended up running a little longer than six months because of all the rescheduling that had to be done. But it's okay, it's all working out, and the fans are still happy. Ace and I are also very happy now that our lives have seemed to calm down and the craziness is gone. The love I have for him just keeps growing every day. I cannot wait to marry him. Yeah, we've only been together for about five months or so, but I know this is right; I know this is forever. If the things we've been through couldn't break us up then nothing will.

  It’s concert time and the opening number starts. The guys are singing, us dancers are dancing, and the crowd is screaming. I'm having one of the best times of the whole tour for some reason. I'm just in a really good mood today. At one point during the second number, I do a little dance with Ace and before I walk away, he squeezes my hand and points down to the front row. I look down and am shocked by who is standing there, screaming and clapping and waving - Raelynn, Sebastian, and my sister, Gina. I swear the smile that takes over my face is bright enough to blind people. I also can't help but laugh when I see what Sebastian is wearing. He's wearing a Renegade T-shirt that is two sizes too small, so when he lifts his arms up, his stomach shows. He put his hair into two tiny pigtails on top of his head and he has “I 'heart' Ace” written in red on his forehead. Plus, he's jumping up and down and screaming like one of the girls. I swear the guy is certifiable. I had seen Ace laughing a couple of times earlier and now I know why.

  I can't believe they are here! This makes my night even better. The rest of the concert goes by pretty quickly and before I know it, we're taking our final bow and racing off stage. I take a quick shower, blow dry my hair, and do my makeup, before leaving the dressing room. Ace told me earlier that we are going to go out right after the concert, so I make sure that I look my best. I'm wearing a sexy white dress that Ace bought for me about a week ago. It's completely backless, the straps hook around my shoulders, and that's it. The front is a high scoop neck and is covered in beads and sequins. The skirt of the dress is a flowy type of material and stops about mid-thigh. It's beautiful and I'm glad that I'm getting the chance to wear it out.

  When I walk out of the dressing room, Ace is standing down a little ways talking with Raelynn, Gina, and Sebastian, who has now changed into gray dress pants and a green dress shirt. His forehead is clean and his hair is fixed. He looks great, as usual. Ace, too, is looking fantastic. He's also wearing dress pants, but his are black and he has on a dark blue dress shirt with a dark gray vest over that. Gina and Raelynn are dressed up and looking beautiful, too. My stomach flutters nervously for some reason. Ace is the first to look over and see me. His smile widens and his eyes shimmer with love and adoration as he looks at me.

  "Wow, baby, you look gorgeous," he says and gives me a kiss on the cheek so not to mess up my lipstick.

  "Thanks, so do you," I say before turning to my sister and friends. "What are you guys doing here?"

  Raelynn shrugs. "We wanted to see you in action at least once, and what better place to party than in Las Vegas?"

  I shake my head and hug all three of them.

  "I have dinner reservations just a few blocks down. We can walk it if you ladies are up for it," Ace says.

  "Yes!" I exclaim excitedly.

  Ace chuckles. So we head out. Dennis is with us, of course, and Sebastian assures us that he can kick some ass if he has to. We walk a couple of blocks and come up on the famous Little White Wedding Chapel. Raelynn squeals and grabs Sebastian's hand.

  "Come on baby, let’s have Elvis renew our vows," she says excitedly.

  Sebastian's eyes light up. "Yeah?"

  "Yeah! Come on!" she says and tugs him forward.

  We all laugh and have no choice but to follow them inside. When we walk in, I see Raelynn and Sebastian enter one of the chapels. I follow, knowing that Ace, Dennis, and Gina are right behind me. When I look into the chapel, I see the rest of the guys, Lizette, and Alex standing on either side of the aisle, smiling like fools. I blink in confusion and turn around to ask Ace what is going on. I find him down on one knee behind me, holding up a little blue box. My hands fly up to cover my mouth as I gasp.

  "Nikki, you know I love you more than life itself. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me? Right here, right now?" he asks, his hopeful blue eyes staring up at me.

  He opens the ring box, revealing a stunning heart shaped pink diamond ring. It matches the necklace that he got me for Christmas. It's also HUGE. This isn't something that I need to even think about. I already know my answer.

  "Are you kidding me?" I laugh as I blink back tears. "Of course I will."

  Ace's grin lights up his whole face as he stands and yanks me into his arms. The room erupts into cheers and whistles. Ace lets me go, takes the ring out of the box, and slides it on my finger. It fits perfectly. My breath catches at how gorgeous it is. Ace gives me a quick peck on the cheek.

  "Stay right here," he says before making his way down the aisle.

  Dennis gives me a kiss on the cheek and whispers his congrats before joining the crowd inside the chapel. Gina taps my shoulder. I turn to look at her. She's smiling brightly with tears welling in her eyes. I give her a hug.

  "Mom sends her love. She wanted to be here but the tension between her and daddy is already bad, and she didn't
want to make it worse. But she wants you to know that she loves you and wants you to be happy," she whispers to me.

  I squeeze her tighter and nod. I let her go and quickly brush the tears away before they mess up my makeup. She hands me one of the two small bouquets of flowers that she has. I have no idea where they came from. She steps in front of me. Raelynn comes back through the chapel doors with her own bouquet. She comes to stand between Gina and me.

  "Hope you don't mind if I'm your Matron of Honor." She smirks.

  I shake my head. "I wouldn't want anyone else."

  I see Ace standing up at the altar with Dean and Alex standing there with him. Elvis appears from a side door and takes his place as the minister. I can't stop the laugh that bubbles up out of me. I slap my hand over my mouth to cover it. The music starts, an Elvis song of course, It's Now or Never, and Gina starts down the aisle. Raelynn goes next. Just when I think I'm walking down the aisle by myself, Sebastian appears at my side and offers his elbow. I smile gratefully up at him and slip my arm through his. It's then that I realize why Ace bought me this dress. It's my freaking wedding dress! Unbelievable!

  ~Ace~

  "I now pronounce you man and wife, you may kiss your bride," Elvis says.

  Nicole and I smile at each other before I wrap her in my arms and kiss the hell out of her. The ceremony was short and sweet and to the point. We exchanged rings, which I had specially made. Nicole's band attaches to her engagement ring. She is very excited about that. After our kiss ends, we sign the marriage license right there. I still can't believe that this is happening. I’m over the moon happy right now. We get hugs and kisses from everyone, Nicole practically jumping on Alex when it's his turn. We haven't seen him since we left New York. Alex gives her a big hug and kiss on the cheek before letting her go.

  To celebrate, we find the nearest club. We drink and dance until five in the morning. When we get back to the hotel that we're staying at, everyone stumbles back to their respective rooms. I didn't tell Nicole, but while we were putting on the concert, I had Lizette come back here and upgrade us to a honeymoon suite. Nicole's so drunk that she doesn't even realize that we're on a totally different floor and our room now has double doors. I open one door and scoop her up. She giggles uncontrollably as I carry her into the room. As I cross the threshold, Nicole's head hits the doorframe.

  "Ow!" she laughs and rubs her head.

  I can't help but laugh because she's laughing. I set her on her feet inside the room and cup her face. We are both giggling as I try to stare into her eyes; it's kinda hard when there are two of her.

  "Oh my god, are you okay?" I slur.

  She nods. She's laughing so hard that she snorts, which makes both of us burst out laughing all over again. I somehow get the door shut and locked before going back to Nicole. She slips her arms around my neck.

  "Oh, Mr. Vaughn?" she says and it comes out in a British accent for whatever reason.

  I snicker. "Yes, Mrs. Vaughn?" I reply, trying my damnedest not to sway too much.

  "I think that you should take me in the bathroom and fuck me against the wall like you did the first time we slept together," she whispers loudly.

  "Babe, I can barely stand, let alone pick you up to fuck you. I mean, I just banged your head against the wall walking into the room," I reply, motioning wildly at the door.

  She laughs. "Yeah, you're probably right."

  We stumble over to the bedroom, still wrapped up in each other's arms. It's then that Nicole realizes that the room is different. She stops just outside the bedroom door and looks around with an exaggerated frown on her pretty face.

  "Whose room are we in? We didn't have a couch and stuff before."

  "We've been upgraded to the honeymoon suite," I tell her.

  She turns to look at me, a seductive look replacing her confused one. "Oooh, honeymoon suite," she purrs, wagging her eyebrows at me.

  I chuckle and pull her into the bedroom. We swiftly undress each other and climb into the bed. I'm on top of Nicole, kissing her neck, and I start to move down her body when I realize that she's not really participating. Usually, she's running her hands over me or through my hair or something. When I glance up, I find that she's fallen asleep. I smile and shake my head. I guess sex is not on the menu for tonight. I roll off her and lie down next to her. I pull up the covers and snuggle up next to my wife. Damn, that sounds so right. My wife.

  I don't know how long I've been sleeping for, but I'm having the best dream. Nicole is giving me the best blowjob ever. I moan. I slowly feel myself coming awake and I try to fight it. No! I want to stay in my dream! Then Nicole nips at my hip and I jolt awake. I blink and rub my eyes. I'm just about to groan in disappointment when I feel her warm tongue run up the underside of my cock. I suck in a sharp breath and lift my head. Our eyes meet. My cock jumps in excitement, making her chuckle low.

  "Shit, Nikki, I thought I was dreaming," I rasp, my voice still rough from sleep and drinking last night.

  "Mmm, this is my apology for falling asleep on you last night," she murmurs before pulling me into her hot mouth.

  I hiss and roll my hips. I reach down and thread my fingers into her hair so that I can guide her to the rhythm I want. She smooths her hands over my hips and stomach. I moan. I drop my head back to my pillow and close my eyes. Her mouth feels so fucking good. Nicole reaches up father and plucks one of my barbells. My whole body jolts from the pleasure I get from her doing that. She does it again and I cry out as my hands curl into fists in her hair. I can feel my orgasm building in the pit of my stomach. She reaches her other hand up and I wait in anticipation for her to play with both barbells. She grabs them both and pulls. I let out a guttural shout and yank her head up so that her mouth releases me. My cock pulses as I come all over my stomach. She smiles and continues to torture my nipples as I twitch and tremble under her.

  I let go of her hair, my hands falling to my sides, as I lie there panting. "Damn, love, that was so good," I breathe.

  "Good." She smirks and sits up.

  "Ugh, what time is it?" I grunt and lift my head to look for a clock.

  Nicole hands me a box of tissues from the nightstand. "It's three in the afternoon," she tells me.

  "Well, at least we got some decent sleep," I say as I clean myself up.

  "Yeah, I want to see what everyone is doing. Maybe we can go get some food," Nicole says.

  I nod. "Okay, but I'm starving and want something to eat right now," I smile devilishly and grab for her.

  She squeals and laughs as I toss her onto the bed next to me, shove her legs apart, and have myself a little snack.

  After having my way with my wife - I love calling her that - we meet up with everyone for an early dinner. Raelynn, Sebastian, Gina, and Alex are flying back home tonight since we have to get back on the road in the morning. Nicole, Dennis, and I accompany them to the airport that night. The airport is pretty empty this time of night, which is good. I don't have to worry too much about getting noticed and bombarded with fans. The ladies take a walk to the bathroom, so Sebastian, Alex, and I are standing just outside of security, waiting. We can't go with them into the terminal without a ticket, so we have to say our goodbyes before they go in.

  "Take care of her," Sebastian says out of nowhere.

  I glance over at him and nod. "I will."

  "And don't have kids right away," he says, giving me a pointed look.

  I smile. "Yeah, I'm not ready for kids yet."

  "Good. I love Mikey, but it's hard. Kids are tough on a relationship. Rae and I barely have any time alone. And when we are alone, which is mostly at night, we're both exhausted and just want to sleep," he tells me.

  "I want Nicole all to myself for a while," I agree.

  He nods. "It's a good plan."

  I then hear Nicole's laugh and glance up. The girls are walking up, all giggling. I stare at my lovely wife and my heart swells at just knowing that she's mine forever. She's perfect in every way and I am the luckiest man in t
he world to have captured her heart. She finds me watching her and raises an eyebrow in question. I shake my head as if to say "Nothing."

  Gina walks over to Alex and wraps her arms around his neck. I know Alex and Gina hooked up last night. I saw them kissing on the dance floor. And they've been kind of touchy feely and flirty with each other today. I don't really know where they are going to go from here because he is eleven years older than her, but we'll eventually find out.

  "I think we should join the Mile High Club," she purrs before kissing him on the lips.

  "Gina!" Nicole scolds.

  Sebastian barks out a laugh. Raelynn shakes her head and Dennis tries to cover up his smile with his hand.

  Gina blinks innocently at her sister. "What?"

  Nicole just shakes her head. Alex grins rakishly.
