Georgie smiled at Hadley. “You made a beautiful bride, Hadley.”
Hadley felt her face flush but smiled in gratitude. She gave Nate a nod when he offered her his arm and as the notes of the bridal procession began, the pair made their way down the aisle. People stood from the rows of chairs in the living room to watch the bride enter. Emotion swelled in her chest knowing all of these people showed up to support her and her Daddy.
Daddy stood at the end of the aisle beside Master Derek. He looked so handsome in his black suit. Someone had tucked a poinsettia in his lapel. Hadley had to admit, everything looked like it had been planned for months.
A camera flashed as CJ snapped photos and there were a few sniffles coming from the row Nanny J, Miss Samantha, and Miss Phoebe were sitting at.
Her Daddy smiled at her and he took her from Nate. Finn shook his hand and Nate kissed her cheek before taking a seat.
“Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today…” Master Derek started.
Her Daddy squeezed her hands and she felt her heart overflow with love and gratitude. She finally felt like she belonged and that was a feeling she knew she would never take for granted.
Finn held Hadley’s hands as Derek officiated their wedding. The Big House was full as was his heart. So many people had shown up for them and he was so thankful. Booking a trip to Rawhide had been a gamble. He hadn’t been sure Hadley would like being Little with others or that she would be comfortable staying in the preschool wing. He’d never imagined it would turn out to be so completely life changing, in the best way, of course. He was leaving with a head full of new kink information and a heart full of love and gratitude. When his brother had passed, he wasn’t sure he would survive. He found solace in Hadley. She’d given him a reason to keep going, to keep trying to be the best man he could be and now that she was officially his, he wouldn’t stop striving to be the best husband and Daddy he could be.
“Do you, Finn, take Hadley to be your lawfully wedded wife? Do you promise to love and cherish her in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer, for better, for worse, and forsaking all others, as long as you both shall live?” Derek asked.
“I do,” Finn answered as he slid her ring on her finger. He and Hadley had written their own vows to read to each other after the ceremony. Talking would always be hard for Hadley and he understood her wishing to do it when it was just the two of them.
“Do you, Hadley, take Finn to be your lawfully wedded husband. Do you promise to love and cherish him in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer, for better, for worse, forsaking all others, as long as you both shall live?”
“I do,” Hadley whispered, sliding the simple band on his finger.
“Then by the powers vested in me, I hereby declare you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride.”
Finn took Hadley in his arms and brushed his lips across hers. He didn’t want to make her any more nervous than he knew she was, but when she wrapped her tiny arms around his neck, he deepened the kiss, flicking his tongue against hers in a battle for power.
A whistle made her giggle and he won the battle.
“Ladies and gentlemen. I present to you, Mr. and Mrs. Williams.”
The crowd cheered and Finn brushed Hadley’s hair back before kissing her mouth again.
Finn twirled Hadley across the dance floor, her cream dress billowing out around her knees. She giggled when he pulled her back into his arms. She wrapped herself around him and he kissed her. Her lips parted for him and he explored her mouth possessively.
“Kissing you is addictive, Peeps.”
“Oh no, you’ll just have to keep getting your fill then. We can’t have you going though withdrawals,” she whispered.
He threw his head back and laughed. “Sassy girl.”
“I’m a very lucky girl,” she said. “I get to spend the rest of my life with you.”
“I think I’m the lucky one,” he answered with another kiss, softer this time.
He twirled her around again and this time when he pulled her back into his arms, she kissed him. When her tongue traced his lips, he couldn’t help the growl that escaped his chest.
She shot him a mischievous look and he ground his erection into her belly.
“Your friends are going to get a show if you keep that up, Hadley.”
She boldly rubbed herself against him, her eyes twinkling the entire time.
Grabbing her hand, he hauled her off towards the guest bathroom.
“Daddy,” she laughed when he pinned her up against the wall after locking the door.
“Yes, naughty girl?” he questioned, pressing kisses to her neck.
